(ok, maybe you never said motherfuckers!)

i'm basically against blogs&personal pages. there is enough vanity in the world to add my ego on the net... here there are thoughts and reflections and some pieces of a novel which will never come to life. so, if you like me think that humanity does not need my self-righteous quotes, you can just check the pictures and travellers advices i will post here... thanx for coming, anyway...!

places i've been living in
- Pescara (Italia): where i was born from sweet mum and moody dad
- Parma (2001)
- Venezia (Italia): where i've been sweating to accomplish a bizarre university course (2002-2005)
- Paris (France) x 2: for my happy Erasmus program (2003-2004) and then for work: Arab Art (2005-2006) + several trips to see mon perdu amour
- Cairo (Egypt) x 2: in 2004 and in 2005... studying (but i'm not gonna say what!)
- Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates): where i'm living since May 2007, for an internship in the Italian Embassy and then working in an advertising company. and teaching Italian, of course!
A good address for those wishing to visit Dubai and the United Arab Emirates
A. Alex. Alexandria. A mix of people, languages, religions and cultures living in a city which is a mix of styles, histories and traditions laying on a sea which is a mix of people, languages, religions and cultures. The place i would like to spend the rest of my life. The place i would like to be right now. The place my heart is right now. Alexandria. Alex. A. K.
22 million inhabitants! 22 millions! Cairo is a city, but it could easily be a Country on its own: more than 1/3 of Italy’s inhabitants...
Or it could easily be a world on its own, given the range of lives one can find there: 22 million of existences each different from the other. And all these 22 millions seems to gather on the freeway just when you have to go from an edge of the city to the other... in practice every morning, to go to school.
If hell would have a circle of the drivers, it would be Cairo flyover during summer.
But Cairo is not only a city, it is a mental status: the time spent in Cairo appears to me as hung on the whole of times creating world memory. Cairo is a city suspended in the desert and living in Cairo was like living a life suspended in time. It was like living in a bubble, completely out of the Western space-time concept. I felt a kind of goldfish in a dry spot, surrounded by a multitude of other fishes already evolved in a darwinian way to garantee their survival by adapting to the enviroment. But I couldn’t adapt so easily, I was too astonished by that huge bubble I was living in and where actually the time had stopped: in an half hour I could shift from the Pyramids to a wild traffic jam, to the peacefullness of al-Azhar, to the over-crowded City of Dead to a perfectly American-style disco. And outside, desert only.
