Journalism

Wednesday. Three days to leave Switzerland. I am happy and sad at the same. After spending half of my nights here watching Tv series like 24 or Lost, I have a new distraction, but this time in the mornings: The semi-overweight-latin-american woman that presents the weather forecast every morning around 7:30 in CNN. Lets rephrase that. The distraction is not exactly her, but to see how the weather will be in different parts of the world. One month ago, while eating my morning muesli, I would just turn into any newspapers or the computer screen when I saw the ususal typhoon or tornado going on in Asia. Now I am paying attention to that. And I like it! This is bizarre! Its something like a hidden hobbie. Have you seen the movie "demolition man"? I think is in that movie that Silvester Stallone discovers that his hidden hobbie is to make wool clothes manually (again, sorry for my poor english, there must be a verb for this). Maybe mine is to watch weather forecasts. I am exagerating again, lets change topic.

Paco reccomended me a very short marketing book some weeks ago. This summer I have also been doing some of the reading I couldn't do during our busy first year of MBA. sincerely, I prefer good literature rather than these boring business books but anyway. I was curious yesterday about one of the questions of the book to show that we always keep in much more in mind (and thus make it more succesful) the first brand that enters in the market, not the second. Then the book asks who is the second president of the USA (if you are not from the states this question is not easy :). Then I googled that and found the name of John Adams, and after that I read a good sentence by that man that I copy here just to "inflate" this post:
" I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture, inorder to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain".

Well this post seems a bit short, and there are no pics in it, so I have decided to show the insights of the blog, so you can see by yourself how I have risked my life and go through the impossible to get you the information about my weekend trips, boring stories and other things.

Marc taking pics to post pics: This is in Dusseldorf, in avery very dangerous neighborhood as you can perfectly recognize. I am very proud of this pic
This one....I have no idea what I was doing when Marek took me this picture, but it looks I was again taking risks at night in a very uncomfortable position so that you could have first hand info about Germany.
Tourist photo in Zurich. This is always risky, we don't want the family to have a remembering of the city that everytime they look at it makes them talk shit about the guy who took the photo.
There was a frog in front of me in that rock that I was trying to put in front of the sightseeing of Interlaken. Dangerous once more. Forget Australia, tehre are really poisonous frogs in this country....and most of people is not aware of this.
More in Interlaken
Well, this is not a pic of a pic, but you can see how a good journalist goes where the story is, and walks near two drunk women from the mountains dancing like crazy. Really dangerous activity.

The music: Electric Six - Danger! High voltage

1- watching a train wreck = your hidden hobby watching natural devastion caused by typhoon/tornatoes/etc.

2- Stallone's character in Demolition Man hidden hobby is "knitting"

3- Many American (born/raised/still living in US) still don't know who the 2nd president is.

4- The pic of the two drunk ladies; uh...that lady looks like a man~!
