Facts about Budapest - Geneva - Lyon - Lausanne

I'll try to remember some facts of the trip to share them, but I dont remember much, so it'll be quite plane.

Budapest - Geneva

• Easyjet has a direct connection between those cities. The airport of Geneva is very close to the city. 
• Before leaving the place where you pick up you luggage, take a look close to the exit doors, and you'll see a machine to buy transportation tickets, you can pick-up one for free!. So from the airport to the downtown is FREE.
• In front of the main door of the train station (Cornavin) you can find some places to change money.
• The city is very walkable
• The tour in the United Nations is not amazing, but it's interesting to know that place. (10CHF-student)
• The museum of the Red Cross is not big deal, honestly I didn't like it. It's cheap though (5CHF-student).

Geneva - Lyon

• The train ticket was about 33 CHF (~25€) it takes like 2 hours
• The old Lyon is very nice, small streets and lot's of bars to enjoy the night
• There is a big park with some animals and full of people on sundays, nice place.

Lyon - Lausanne

• The train ticket was 38.5€. 
• Lausanne is very walkable too. In the Touristic office in the train station you can get a map with a walking path to see the important things of the city
• I couldnt get in, but the museum of the Olympics looks amazing, plus it's located in a place that is unbelievable

That's it what I remember, it looks pathetic but better to write it than to forget it completely.

Modern safety bores my inner Prometheus

Sorrow and disappointment, those were the main feelings yesterday at home.
During the daily session of opening the pandora box to release all the evils created few hours before, I found an interesting couple of artifacts, both are commonly used to banish the path and hide the existance of those pandora evils.

One of them was a platoon of humble matches condemned to live in a tiny box and sentenced to only go out for a quick death avoiding with its immolation a fast spread of the evil. The other friend was the odor-spray, which is used for the same philanthropic purpose, just that it is much fancier and sophisticated than the first one.

When you see those passive inhabitants of the "small room" together, it's impossible not to think about combining them, in short: your internal teenager just took control of your mind again, you are not going to behave as an adult anymore until the desire is satisfied.
A short visual scanning of the odor-spray's can and the discovery of an orange square with a black flame drawn on it is enough reason for the joy. In your hands you just have that power Prometheus stole directly from gods and gave us.

As every teenager would have done, I fired the match, and placed the flame in front of the mouth of the odor-spray!, I wanted heat, I wanted Fire! I wanted to give my honest and innocent tribute to Prometheus, but I sadly discovered, that modern odor-sprays are not flammable!!!  I tried many times, placing the match at different distances but all those matches gave their lives in vain.

That little Prometheus that lives in me, that lives in all of us, was very sad yesterday, just because Modern Safety is playing the game with the gods in their purpose of taking away from us the fire Prometheus gave us once.

Dime porque!

Una clase de español ambientada con buena musica!. Yo sabia de la existencia de los cuatro "por-que's" pero no sabia su diferencias, una breve busqueda en internerd y aquí esta la respuesta, pero antes la canción:

Porqué, porque, por qué y por que

Porqué es un sustantivo (el porqué, es decir, la causa, el motivo); siempre va precedido del artículo (el) o de otro determinante (su, este, otro...). Admite plural : los porqués.
Ejemplo: No explica nunca el porqué de sus decisiones.

Porque es una conjunción causal: introduce una oración subordinada que explica la causa de otra principal.
Ejemplo: Lo he entendido porque me lo has explicado muy bien.

Por qué sólo se usa en oraciones interrogativas, directas e indirectas. Por es preposición y qué es un pronombre interrogativo.
Ejemplos: ¿Por qué no has venido a la fiesta? (Interrogativa directa)
                No sé por qué se ha portado tan mal.(Interrogativa indirecta)

Por que se compone de la preposición por y del pronombre relativo que; se puede sustituir por "el cual, la cual", etc.
Ejemplo: Fueron varios los delitos por que fue juzgado.

Good Presents

I've met amazing people in Budapest, many of them have left but not without building a good friendship. One of them is Roger, a Gaucho (sort of brazilian version of colombian paisa) who for a matter of not having born in the 40's and not living in Liverpool is not a Beatle, indeed I remember when I met him he was wearing a T-shirt of The Beatles and a guitar. Before he left Budapest he gave me a good present, he gave me music, brazilian music, and we made an agreement: Each email we'll exchange talking about our lives, we'll send a song in our language. The experiment has been successful, we don't write very often though, but we do still, so the connection keeps alive and the music keeps flowing, as it should be.

I'll try to share some of the good songs I've discovered thanks to him. I'll begin with a freaking good band (btw, Gaucha) and with a song loaded of feeling!

Joyas de los 60's

Que joya me encontré ayer!, es una notica de mayo de 1964, noticia gringa por cierto, que habla de la muerte del bandido SangreNegra, pero lo mejor viene al final cuando dice que "ahora" las autoridades estan tras el ultimo de los bandidos fuera de la ley que tiene una pandillita de 300 pelagatos. El antisocial que pronto caería tenía 32 añitos en esa epoca, su cedula tenia el nombre de Pedro Antonio Marín y responde a los alias de "Marulanda" o Sure-shot (Tirofijo)

El documento abre de una manera magistral!: "Slowly but surely, Colombians are writing an end to la violencia"
