Image result for goodbye leninI remember a movie that really moved me a lot. It was called "Goodbye Lenin" and it was about an East German family who has to adapt to the fusion of the two Germanies after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The protagonist's mother is very ill and he has to do everything to make her believe that nothing has changed, that they are still living in a socialist country. I saw it a few years ago at my house. I was with my girlfriend and we had rented it at Blockbuster. We had bought popcorn and some beer and we were quite happy to see the movie together. All was fine until the second half when I started to cry and I couldn't stop for several minutes. I think it made me cry because it represents a generation of people who lived through the Cold War, of dreams that didn't come true. I also believe that the son's devotion to his mother and his fear of her death is very moving. The film is so sad and tragic in many senses. I liked this movie a lot and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

My very best vacation was last year. I traveled to Mexico with my girlfriend and toured much of the country. It was so amazing and we stayed there for almost a month! We visited the Mayan pyramids in Yucatán. There I took a lot of pictures which I posted on my blog. I bought a tiny pyramid as a souvenir. After two days, we flew to Cancún for a lovely weekend under the sun. I did some watersports while my Katie took sunbaths and swam in the warm ocean. After that we traveled to Mexico City and visited all the museums and the huge UNAM. We saw a lot of mural paintings by Rivera and visited Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul. It was incredible. We saw so much culture and learned a lot about how Mexicans live daily. It was by far the most adventurous vacation I've ever had.

Hi everybody! Today I will write about a country I want to visit.
I've always wanted to travel to Japan. I think it's because I like their people,
food and customs. I really admire the way in which they have advanced in spite of all the circumstances. I also admire all the advances in science and technology that they have made.

If I go there some day, the first thing I will do is to eat a lot of their delicious food; I think it is fantastic! Second, I will travel around the country to meet people and know places. I would like to know a lot about their culture and lifestyle too.

If I have the opportunity, I'd like to work there for a year, maybe teaching English or Spanish at a school or college. This would give me the chance to get to know more of their culture.

Well, I hope that some day I can go to Japan and make my dream true.
