Rassegna Stampa della settimana

Questa settimana sarà una rassegna stampa un po' speciale. Sono tornato a Parma per Pasqua ed ho trovato  questo libro con titolo che ho trovato profetico che mi ha dato l'idea per un nuovo post. Stavo passeggiando per le vie centrali di Viborg (due, e quindi meritano il plurale), quando mi sono imbattutto in una bancarella di libri...

La Pasqua non ferma le notizie...

Per chi sta seguendo le mie disavventure alla ricerca di un lavoro in Danimarca: no, il jobcenter non mi ha chiamato. Ho anche provato a chiamare ma la signorina mi ha detto “beh evidentemente avranno perso il post it con il tuo numero o il tuo nome”...evidentemente.
Ora si spiegano le notizie che appaiono su alcuni giornali locali: il 97% di coloro che trovano un impiego...lo trovano con il jobcenter? Taaaa! Errore! Lo trovano fuori dal jobcenter! I nostri super compagni di Metro hanno fatto un'altra indagine di frontiera. Sono andati in Syddanmark (che comprende sia Sønderjylland che Fyn) ed hanno scoperto che solo il 3% trova lavoro tramite il jobcenter. Osservatori internazionali segnalano containers carichi di post it con nomi e numeri di disoccupati che prendono il mare da Esbjerg. Almeno non sono il solo...

Buona Pasqua a tutti!
Francesco

Oups!

My dear ones, in the past, when I suggested you to visit my blogs, I wrote one of them wrong.
The blog whatsintheoven.blogspot.com is actually a blog about cooking, but not mine.
I have promised to write a page about recipes, as well as it would be great to publish yours, but the correct name of my blog is whatsintheoventoday.blogspot.com.
From now on you will find the correct link so in case you have been a bit confused in the past, I hope to see you soon on my blogs!

Take care,

Francesco

Prague Day 1 and Night 2

Where were we? Oh yes, free vodka. Knowing that you have a time and date where to be at a certain point of the day tends to organize the whole day all around it.

I woke up late, bought a sandwich at a Tesco supermarket that is now in a building that must have been a market of sort, and walk up and down on Prague’s bridges. There is no closer feeling to freedom, than eating your sandwich while walking in a beautiful day.

I feel like if the water is the true soul of Prague: the river looks the same at all times. So are Prague’s art nouveau buildings. I am amazed by how architectonically consistent this city is: all buildings may look alike one another, with some exceptions like that pearl called Mala Strana. Yet, all buildings surprise the eye with great door, carefully symmetric balconies, shining decorations art nouveau. So does the river, every wave, every moment.

Eventually, night, H&M, and free vodka.

Nothing is better than vodka to cut one’s indecisions loose.

After a short discussion

Bernardo and Marie decided who gets what: dress for her, red trousers for him.

Prague Day 1, after Night 1

However you slice it, Prague is wonderful, great vibes and great people, at least so far. The apartment's cat minds minds her own business and has not marked my luggage, yet, which is a plus (besides, in case she did, we would probably have rabbit, for dinner...). Sun is shining and that helps, too.

Tonight I have bartered off an invitation to the grand opening of a new H&M into town. 

H&M??? Why???

Well, to start, the event has captured the attention of local fashion bloggers, because it is apparently the result of a new venture between H&M and the italian brand MARNI. However, I am not going there to meet up with local bloggers and discuss of fashion...

Despite the tempting 25 % discount on all the stock, only for today, this is neither the reason why I am going...

Attracting men at a women's night is a matter of fine psychology. Women would likely prefer to be accompanied by women: no boring-looking men around, freedom of chat, interesting and interested conversation about that lovely dressed that you have been wanting for a while.

But here comes the true Czech genius: the organization offers free Vodka!

This country has a bright future ahead.

Some days in...Prague! Night one

Well events do not only is not only in Denmark, right?
After a weekend in Copenhagen, I have landed yesterday night in Prague.

The flight from CPH was ten minutes earlier and I was welcomed on the plain by the greatest anti-steward I could imagine: tall, built, with a hint of a tatoo that I could see on his neck (and which in my head it became a big tatoo of a dragon or a snake that I would see better when he will rip his shirt and hijack the plane). He asked me if I wanted something to drink. I played the macho card: "Beer". "Excellent choice, sir". So far so good.

I need some money and I decide to withdraw some cash instead of changing my Kroner at the local currency exchange office...I am an independent traveller and I have a credit card and I can take care of it.
So I choose the Unicredit's booth with instructinos in Italian (you know...heart's calling), I asked 2000 local crowns and of course the machine gives me ... one big 2000-crown bill. The bus ticket for the town is 32 crowns...

Of course, who would think that a newly arrived tourist at the airport needs small.
Luckily, local currency exchange office was still open...
