...and finally here we go.... I'll try to conclude later this adventure part of my blog with a post better than this one whose goal is to let everybody know (who cares? you gonna say) that I'm back, after a long trip and no unexpected things happened. Apart from the nice retired guy sitted next to me on the fight Melbourne - Atlanta who was really talkative and, How you can imagine, I didn't understand almost a single word of what he said: I got the reason of this after asking the guy where he lived.... delaware: ahhh that one must have been the reason. Anyway, let me say his English was kind of akward to understand! For the rest il Teone did great: I made some joke with the really nice hostess (thank you for your help if you can hear me) who helped me to get my boarding passed at Atlanta Intl. Airport ( aka Hartsfield-Jackson). Oppositely, I'm not gonna thank the guy who charged my 25$ for my overweighted bag: 69 pound instead of 50.... come on! 25$ for 19 pounds exceeding is a robbery, but as I told that guy I didn't know how to do... so I silently paid!
The flight from ATL - to LND Gatwick was simply great: good food, good movies (I really liked "Night at the Museum"), nice hostesses even if with a little spot: they had such a strong British accent and after having been surrounded by Americans for 4 months I can clearly see how different the British accent is: actually I think is kind of funny 'cause when they speak they seem to have a big potato stuck into their mouth!
I know that nobody is gonna believe me: anyway I heard my first "after-4-month live Italian" while standing in the line for the security checks at gatwick airport ( and by the way thanks for nothing to the nasty lady that when I asked her if she could do something for me and some other Italian guys---since we were about to miss our flight---ans'ered: "what do you want me to do? I'm doing my job, I can't do anything"!
Before concluding this post, I would like to thank everyone in Florida who has helped me to improve my English: guess you guys did a good job... I'm proud of what my English looks like now: I know guys that there is still a lot of work to do on the spoken part but thank you anyway and I promise you I'll get my TOEFL right away or at least before starting forgetting things, which is gonna happen soon!
Anyway I really appreciate to be back in my country even though I already miss the US: but you can't imagine how beautful (and even weird) was when tonight I went to a restaurant and the waiter asked:"Ciao ragazzi, quanti siete?"... you don't believe me (probably you do only if at least once you have been abroad for more than 1 month without speaking and hearing Italian at all) but it sounded to me so weird: I think that the guy thought I was kinda insane because I got stuck looking at him and smiling with a wondered face!!!
Good Night!

My First Party is gone...
...right now it's 3:40am and I'm still awake 'cause I'm kinda drunk (once again)!
It's been busy: I mean I had my fist goodbye party and it was just great! We went to my roommate's advisor and we had a lot of fun talkin' and drinkin'!
After that, we went downtown and we met some friends: I met this really nice american guy who was in the navy for 6 years going around the world: everything was just fine!
Since we had cycled to go downtown, that guy offered us a ride and told us that he was gonna carry our bikes in his truck.
Finally we keep our party going on at our place and you can see some pictures: we drank a two more beers and we talked about things and stuff. I'm so wasted, but I really enjoyed the night!
By the way, today I bought a new camera: a Canon 750 something! WOW guys: it's just amazing... going to bed now! click!

I got a nice Italian poetry...
...my wife wrote it for me last night, I don't who wrote that poetry, but it's really beatuful and nice, so below, you can read a tentative translation:
Gently touch my hands and drive me to fly through the magic world of feelings, where only love matters, where gold an jewels are worthless.
Kiss me and get me into your heart where winged dreams and magic emotions live...
Tighten me in your arms as I were a baby, smell me as a flower touched by the breeze of the wind and kissed by the sunshine.
Don't leave me alone even only for a second and remember I'm yours and you will be mine.
By my kisses, I don't wanna chain and get you into a golden cage because I'm aware love is a gift, source of life...
...next to me you will always be free and I will be yours forever.
I close my eyes and I see you smiling as the sun. I open my eyelids and you are next to me like a blinding light!
I'm you and you're me, we're like the day and the night. we are complete only when we hold our hands.
Come, caress me and don't leave me!
Living with you is a dream that lasts through time: neither sunrise nor sunset can be better that us, because we are unique... we are sunset and sunrise
LOVE IS A MISTERY THAT WILL BE REVEALED ONLY WHEN WE'LL GET FREE LIKE BIRDS IN LOVE WITH THE WIND, THE SKY AND THE SUNLIGHT.
NOW MORE THAN EVER I NEED A KISS AND CARESS!
okay, I know I'm a bad translator... but this poetry is lovely!

The legend of the Fryer...
.jpg)
.jpg)
...has been created! Three guys...which one is "The Fryer"? In that house something is gonna happen... a new secret is gonna be revealed soon: "The Fryer" starts on April 30! The movie that is gonna blow you away!!!! Only in Melbourne's theaters!
Rated PG-13
Tha'one is been only a joke that is pretty difficult to get if you don't know the exact situation which it's been developed in! Moreover, since this is a public-accessible blog I can't say more: if u were interested in knowin' more details , I could send me an email and I will be happy to an'ser your questions :) !
By the way, tonight is kind of a special night, because after two months Brian came back from Ecuador, so we celebrated his return drinkin' a good bottle of Australian wine (thank Brian, it was really really good and tasty!).
it doesn't count for anything sayin' that we got a little bit drunk but we have been having such a good time for the last three hours and the legend of "The Fryer" started!
Right now, I'm eating the delicious nutella-topped bread that you guys can see in one of the pictures I'm postin' with this (the other one is a picture of the wine we've been drinkin' and we still are drinkin')!
I have to say that I've been worried about my returning to Italy lately, and this nice evening is helpin' me not to think about silly things. I really calmed down thanks to my friends!!!

Guess What??
Yep...you right... drunk once again!! It's been a while since the last time I was totally sober...
These are supposed to be my last days here and I'm feelin' kind of excited about going back to Italy, but at the same time I'm feelin' kind of bored and helpless. I get up in the morning and I start judgin' myself: what have u been doin' in these months? have u been really learnin' anything? My American friends tell me to take it easy. Today someone told me (I wasn't either speakin' about that) that it's amazing all the progresses have been doin' in these months and my capacity to cope with the new language has been just incredible....I a'swered: "OK, you right, whatever!". To be honest with u guys, I feel suddently ashamed every time I have to speak with a stranger even though now I perfectly know that I can do that with no problems at all!
Anyway next year I'm gonna repeat this experience even though I'll try to get to a university in the north, just to see the differences between these two parts of this wondeful country!
By the way, I wish i could get rid of "gonna, wanna and gotta" and start sayin' "going to, want to and got to", but I think it's too late.... any attempt is gonna fail, no way men!
Tonight no pictures because my camera decided to stop workin', suddently! I'm feeling sad for my camera....
I have a lot of clothes to be washed, but I'm not feeling like comin' to the laundry and turn on neither the washing machine nor the dryer because I'm gettin' sleepy and the time being left before my departure, even if it's only 5 days, is drivin' me totally crazy.
Guess it's time to say goodbye: I'll miss you nice country and I'll miss you guys too (talkin' about the friends I've been makin' here)
Gotta go to watch South Park, now! Good night there!

Hangin' around...
...NY: in this picture I'm under Brooklyn Bridge! WOW, it's so amazing!
I took the other picture at the UN: you guess right! I was inside the auditorium that we usually watch on the tv news!
I already miss the US!
Now I'd better go to bed or else...: if an American guy tells you:---you'd better do that or else--- "or else" is more than a simple warn... usually it's more like a threat, if u guys know what I mean :) !!
