Erasmus Meeting
Here we are after a weekend of paties!!!
It has been great! Four of my friends from the Erasmus in Paris came to visit me here in Amsterdam. For few days it has been like doing the Erasmus again, this time in Amsterdam! (It would have been also nice!). We have done a barbeque in a park, drank a lot of beer, eat a lot of food, walked around the city and of course chatted a lot about the old old days!!
I am very very glad to have seen them again and I'm really looking forward for the next Erasmus meeting! This time in London, then!! Super cool!
Guys, thank you very much to have come and I love youuuu!!!!!
So, what I would like to say about this weekend apart for the meeting, is that here in Amsterdam on friday and saturday there were two celebrations of something "serious". The 4th of May it is the Dodenherdenking, the day of the deads, so in this day at 8 p.m. there is one minute of silence to commemorate all the people who died during the second world war. The 5th of May it is Bevrijdingsdag, in which the liberation from the german occupation at the end of the second world war is commemorated. It is interesting because this last commemoration nowadays it's not only the commemoration of the end of the world war, but it is an important moment to think about all the wars in general, so in the mueum plain there are few concerts and a lot of markets to collect money for war children around the world, or for creating hospitals and all these movements for peace in general. I find it particulary interesting because for the end of the second world war in Italy there are only a bunch of politicians that thanks the americans for having freed us (while we where not really invaded...) and take the occasion to underline how good are the americans and as they have helped us they can also help the middle east countries... Instead, I think it's much better to commemorate this date trying to avoid the same error, and feeling the pain for what has happened in the 40ies, avoid to inflict or to let other people inflict the same pain to other populations....
So, it's not true that all the celebration here are fancy and pointless....

Regarding the mini-poll: if SUPER must be, I cant vote Ermes and so I vote Superman, but why there is not a woman in super heroes list? e.g: Segolene, mother Theresa,Madonna....
rosi bindi...
mz
come on! there is no super heroine!
all of them suck, like cat woman, dog woman, wonder woman, wonder bra, rosi bindi...
the superness is a male feature (as for me and silvio b) even because all the super powers have something to do with muscles power (=> men); there is no superhero with an high QI, nor with high sensibility or high ironing skill...
actually, can supercar be considered a female supersomething?
but also in this case it is a sort of man's knick-knack
Ok, Ermes is drunk... anyway you could vote "others" and specify your favorite one in the blog....
Have a look there http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_superheroines
for the list of superheroines.... and I vote for Atomic Betty!!
i am not drunk. i was turning on a superhero (supereuro?)
Atomic Betty? She's even worse than Caio Gracchio
ochei, el mio voto "altro" sè per hans dei nazisti.

i think that pretends to be a Übermensch (Overman) more than a Superman.
so keep him for the next poll
"Qual'è il vostro Übermensch preferito?"?
figo.
allora svio el voto sulla torre dei scacchi

turning back to the poll (pool),
atomic betty, I found out the existence of Coagula, a transsexual super hero/heroine..
cool
something else about one of my antagonists in the poll (pool):
