Music fills your soul up

Want to rain your brain? It is said that playing a music instrument is really good for ourselves.

Luckily I went to a school where we had a personal instrument lesson per week. So for 5 years I had piano lessons and I am so grateful for that.

I did not like the post much because I saw a video once that really explained the effects that happen in your brain when u play music and was much more interesting.     

Kalemegdan

Belgrade is a city that if you live in the center everything is near you and you really do not need a car. Belgrade is the capital of Serbia and ex-Yugoslavia and all my roots are from there, actually I do speak Serbian with my family.

When I was young my relatives always took me to the big “castle” that stands exactly in front of the intersection of the rivers “Sava I Dunav” called Kalemegdan. That has been a fort of many different empires and kings throughout the history and there also stands an exhibition of all the rests of the Second World War and you can jump on the tanks and it was so so fun when I was a child.

Two years ago I went again with my cousin for the umpteenth time, but this time was really incredible. This time the only difference was that the sun was switched for the moon and it gave me a so different perception how I felt it and the moonlight made it so interesting and quite. The rhythm of the people was much slower, there were so many couples (not strange) enjoying the view to big part of the city. In this walk we did also a different route, we walked true the tanks and passed down some sort of bridges, then we passes thru some parts that were not just ruins and we finished walking near the zoo. And well the artificial light they put to illuminate parts of the building helped a lot.

 I just want to invite you to Belgrade and to do this romantic-touristic walk.

PS: Contact me to tell you where the best pizza of the city is         

Humans can be very blind

Hey there,

Today I am going to write about a hobby I do not have, sounds funny but we have to write about things you do more and less. Reading has never been my hobby, but if you find a book that draws you in then it goes the other way around, you just think about it and want to know what is going to happen next.

Last year I read a book that my Spanish teacher recommended to us and was it quite interesting in many ways; how can human behavior be like, levels of conciseness and human blindness. This book was written in 1931 by Aldous Huxley and it is called “Brave New World”. The first thing that made me think about the book was its title in Spanish (“Un mundo feliz”) that means “happy world”. So I thought it is about some type of utopic world, but when I began to read it, it was completely the opposite. It felt for me like some kind of human conscience disaster. It is about a world where people are like machines divided from alfa to delta groups, where alfa are the bosses and delta the least valued type of person. In a very “normal” timeline there is one person that begins to really think and ask herself what is all this world and well, I am not going to say more so u can read it without any spoilers. Just read it.

Hey there,

Today I will write about things I want to learn but I’m not certainly sure if I am going to learn. I am sure everyone has said so many times that “I want to do that”, but because of time or because that is not the most important thing to do at that moment, you do not do it. I would love to learn how to draw, how to surf or to learn how to be better in the things I can already do. But for sure I would love to learn to be a professional photographer.

I have been interested in photography for the last few years, I bought my self a “good” camera and I have begun to take pictures. But I am not happy yet with their quality, I feel it can be done much better. I do not think it would be too difficult to learn because I have the basics and the “eye” as they say. But for sure I need a good teacher and a lot of persistence to keep trying and developing my skills.

I do not have any photographer idol, I just look at some photographs and I say “wow, what a pic”. I am not interested to have an idol either, maybe that is the way to have originality in your photographs.            

Viva México!!!

Five years ago i did my first plane travel alone. Well, before that... In 2011 my mom had to go to Mexico for work. When she was there she told my dad that that was the only opportunity for me to visit Mexico. Two weeks after that I was in the plane ahead to Mexico City. That was the first time I travelled alone by plane, I was secure and very confident for a 13 years old boy. My mom went for me at the Mexican airport and we went to visit this enormous city.

 After a few days we went to the Mexican “Caribe”. What a place!!! We arrived at Cancun and then a bus left us in Playa del Carmen. That was a 100% touristic village, small, pretty, with more foreigners than Mexicans, and very unique for me. The sea there was almost warm and very salty but blue as the sky. The village was so small that we had to visit more than just that. Our best visit was going to three natural parks called Xcaret, Xplore and Xel-Ha. I do not know which one was more amazing. (I just do not know how to describe them, but I recommend the reader to go for sure). And how to forget the Mayan pyramids (Chichen itza and Coba), I was amazed every day more and more.

I must go back some day. Hasta la vista Mexico!!!
