Strangeways here we come
Daily….
New routine also can lead to new sights. New perceptions as well. Here is my daily path to work. I know this time I went too far in the number of pictures taken, but then… it took me several days to have all them. New job is just great. Funny how the number of people looking for my classes have increased since I started working. I had to refuse all of them. I have no idea where this is leading me to, but so far I can say I have been enjoying a lot! Next month I’m starting a new course on coordination area. I’m also teaching American Literature for the first time. How exciting and stressing will this semester be? I don’t care… as long as it’s as rewarding as these past weeks…
One interesting feature of the city pointed out by an American friend of mine is the fact that in most places one can see houses and buildings mixes in the same neighborhood. True. Something quite usual here to be honest.
While waiting for my train, I took took a shot on the view below.
After 20( yes, t.w.e.n.t.y) stations bound south, I get off in the middle of a company complex. I oddly found it interesting how the green and the gray match. Weird is the fact that I do not care about the distance and time it takes me to reach it( about 40 minutes).
There’s a park on the way…
This is the orchid that greets me as I arrive the school. There are sweet new blossoms by now…
This one was taken on a Friday evening. Coming back home. As I entered the train, the same place that carries about 100,000 a day was quite empty.
Well, then… if my goal is to show the places where I go, I guess I have been doing a good job. I have also made some short videos, but I still have to find out how to put them here. Till then, Take good care!

Congratulations on your classes! That is quite a success when you can turn away students.
I miss riding the train, it is a good place to read.
Your country is beautiful. I hope someday I can visit. The train is too clean and too empty. You should see the train and subway in New York City and New Jersey. Always packed especially at peak hours.
It looks very peacefull.
I see only three flags, where is the italian Flag?
