BENNY, MY AMERICAN DREAM CAME TRUE!

Going to the USA has always been one of my dreams and it was so exciting for me when it became  true. I was in New York City for a week from the 20th to the 28th of February. It was such an amazing experience because I didn’t go there just as a tourist but wearing the dresses of a UN delegate! If you want to know more about my journey,  continue reading this post!

BEING A DELEGATE

As I said, I went to NYC and I was one of the young delegates that took part in the United Nations conferences.

Of course,  it was just a simulation, but it was organized as real UN conferences. There were people from Italy, USA, France and other countries.

During these simulations you have to speak in English in order to talk and debate with the other delegates, you have to wear a formal dress and you feel like a real delegate. Each one represents a nation and has to show the position of his/her own country. During the conference I met a lot of people and we were inside the UN headquarters.

THE UN

As you know - well, I hope you know - the United Nations is an international organization that was born in 1945, after the 2ndWorld War, which has the aim  of maintaining peace, protecting natural and historical places and buildings, guaranteeing that all the people have the same rights, guarantee security  and so on. In my opinion this is one of the best “things” men have created.

I am very interested in what the UN did and does to help people. Of course, its goals are huge and difficult to achieve. There is also something that doesn’t work properly, even in the UN,  or there are things the  UN could do but don’t, but I can assure you that the UN have done and currently do a lot to achieve its aims, despite some hurdles.

DISCOVERING IRELAND

Last summer I went to Ireland for two weeks and I can say that it was one of the best holidays in my life (till now, of course!!).

I stayed in a host family in Shankill, South Dublin. My host parents, Mary and Alan, were very kind and friendly to me. Those 2 weeks have been amazing also because of them!

But … let’s stop talking about myself... let's talk about somenthing interesting that I discovered while in Ireland.

Probably, you don't know that Ireland enter people's hearts and never leaves them.

So I hope you will have the fortune to go there one day. I am sure that you will agree with me, then.

JAZZ IS... FEELING! PT.1

Bill Evans used to say: “It bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It’s not. It’s feeling”. That explains our title. Are you ready for some great feelings and some great jazz?

Arisen in America, jazz can be seen as a reflection of the nation’s cultural diversity. One thing that makes jazz music so unique is that it’s focused on improvisation.
