Hi guys! This is Filippo, I´m from Italy (“Ich komme aus ItaAAAalien”). I come from Castel San Giovanni, a veryveryvery small town between Milano and Piacenza. I’m currently studying MSc Biotechnology at Wageningen University in The Netherlands and I just started my Praktikum (intern) here in München. The main reason why I started to learn German at Deutsch Akademie is that basically I would like to distinguish if somebody is shouting at me or is just asking if I had a lovely day… I’m working on it…

A bit about myself:

I like to observe people. A lot. I build up their stories,  I dig in my spaceouts.
I’m more or less interested in everything, especially when I find myself in new situations, new environments, new habits. I’m amazed by discovering people, cultures, languages, swear words, foods…

I write only with blue pen. Black is ugly.

I don’t like: when you take out frozen stuff from the freezer and it scratches against the ice.
I don’t like: the Times New Roman.
I don’t like: the landing of escalators. I am wondering if anybody ever got absorbed and shredded like a paper.
I don’t like: the sound of plane toilets, which burst out unexpectedly few seconds after you flushed your stuff. One day someone will be sucked in.
I don’t like: Tuesdays. They are hopeless.
I don’t like: at the supermarket; the feeling of pressure you have when you are supposed to rush and put all your stuff in the bag.
I don’t like: at the supermarket (again); old ladies at the cashier pretentiously separating their items from the following customer’s ones.

I like: begin brief but deep conversations with random people who phoned me by mistake.
I like: the portuguese word “de nada”. It’s like caressing you with the voice.”Don’t worry, son, it’s nothing”
I like: to buy a new toothbrush.
I like: take a bike ride after hair cut.
I like: to carefully observe the little log cabins sold by bricolage stores.
I like: autumn
I like: the sound of the snow
I like: the smell of the fog
I like: people who smile

I appreciate: hairdressers. The good ones have amazing psychological skills.
I appreciate: Schroeder (from “Peanuts”)

So that’s it for now! Will be back soon with new juicy stuff and (hopefully) some legitimate German writing!

Ciao!
