A very different Christmas I've passeed this year,
an old friend invites me to a Party in Fuhlam

and he told me:" Welcome to the Aussie X'mas Party"

It' was funny the aussie jingle bell
"Dashing trough the bush"

But it's ok!
For the New Year's eve I will have to choose the Candian Party
for don't disappoint my second (or first?) love..
I wish this yaear as well

London...
London is a really huge city,
I think is the european life style capital
The weather is really really cold and foggy
but I'm so happy here!
I'm looking for a bloody job
who couold allow me to spend at least 2 months here
then I will fly back to my second-home: AUSTARLIA

See you soon Vancouver... wait for me London
Seaplane Corporate has not hired me :( so my adventures in Vancouver will be end soon and waiting to get back to Australia in Febraury, I've booked my flight to the British Capital city: LONDON
Something changed in thoese 2 months, so fast the only important thing is that I've archived one of my goal
and now I've got a seaplane rating aniway
Thursday 21st December I will land in London, hosted by friend
will pass there at least Christmas and new Year's Eve that's better then nothing
So if someone will be around, give me a call
Avviso tutti quanti che la Seaplane Corporate alla fine non mi assumerà a tempo pieno,ma soltanto casual in ogni caso avere un brevetto per pilotare idrovolanti preso gratitamente è sempre una soddsifazione e mi potrà essere utile nel futuro; prima di toranrein Australia ho deciso di trasocrrere un perido nella capitale Inglese Londra.
Giovedi 21 Dicembre arriverò all'aerporto di Heatrow sarò ospitato da amici e passerò li almeno Natale e Capodanno (meglio che niente)
Se qualcuno è in grio mi faccia una chiamata

L'America che mi piace
Il mio primo pensiero ogni mattina, è per i tanti ragazzi che ho incontrato nella mia vita,
ragazzacci americani, cioè occidentali come me
ragazzi orientali, Buddisti, Musulmani,Taoisti,miscredenti,Laici:
tutti poco disposti nel dividersi tra NOI e LORO.
Per questo, il nostro compito è quello di farci sentire creando progetti di vita in un contesto in cui prevale il risentimento verso la vita
ed opporci che il pregiudizio ed il fondamentalismo abbiano mano libera nella risposta americana
America, America,America... grande NEMICO anche per molti occidentali, ma...
crudeli umani combattuti tra rimorsi e titubanze bisogna fare chiarezza e allora lasciatemi dire che:
"Identificare l'America con il suo potere politico ed economico è il frutto più marcio dell'ideologismo", credete che sia un caso che tutte le cose che MENO hanno a che fare con questo imperialismo siano nate da un secolo a questa parte proprio in America...
E allora voglio dirvi cos'è l'america per me, che consideravo e considero George W. Bush UN CRETINO!
L'America non è la bandiera a stelle e strisce, ma è Tim Robins, Blade Runner e Apocalyps Now, star Wars, Charlie Brown e Spiderman,Toro seduto e Cavallo pazzo,i Los Angeles Lakers e gli Heat di Miami,il movimento hippie per la pace ed il popolo di Seattle,Martin Luther King e le battaglie per i diritti civili, la route 66 ed i coast to coast,il Grand Canyon e le cascate del Niagara,
i miscugli raziali e.... Pamela Andersonn
é il mondo della comunicazione e della relazione, è il ruolo prioritario delle donne,
è la libertà di scelta in un mondo dove questa viene continuamente negata
è la plurarità più assoluta, è la sperimentazione scientifica e tecnologica
è il rock, il jazz, il blues sono i libri che leggo
Pensateci bene che I nemici del fanatismo e del terrorismo non sono tanto Bush o le multinazionali: ma le donne, il sesso, il rock, il cinema, i diritti civili e religiosi, la libera comunicazione,la tolleranza e l’analisi; tutto ciò che è parte del NOSTRO modo di vivere, non degli americani…

I Will Call Australia Home
I’ve been looking for you and never close down
From England to Florida and new Toronto town
But only with you I make it my goal
So I will call Australia Home

I’m always flying in your big blue sky
I will always keep this feelings inside me
My heart Is beaming inside the headphone
I will call Australia home

For a long time I spin around the world
Away from my family and friend
But now I feel I have something I belong to
But I’m not forgetting who Am I

Someday I’ll be share this with someone
My family, my lover, my friends
But whatever I will be, for always
I will call Australia home.

I could continue,but i didn't
the dream is over

I dreamt to be an engineer, spaceship engineer to be exact
work on a space centre in Florida or for N.A.S.A.
has been my goal for a long time.
I gave up studies 'coz i choose another carreer
The dream is over

I dreamt to be an actor, walking around holliwood
having dinners in luxury restaurant and

The dream is pending...

I dreamt to be a pilot, flying high in the sky over towns, trees and seas

BUSSINESS TRIP IN PROGRESS
how can a Round the world journey become a businnes trip?
It's very simple: You are a Pilot wannabe and you are ready to go everywhere in the world to find the better way to gain experiance and to find out the best first airline job.
After PPL and CPL Theory Subject done in Australia, I had the opportunity to get a seaplane pilot job with a Canadian Company, actually it's not really a job as pilot, but i will fly on the water wings lullaby (as its called in oz) and make some experience with.
So after Christmas Holiday that i'm going to spend in my hometown Naples, I'm planning to fly to Vancouver where I will study for 6 weeks at the Canadian Flight Centre earing this rating, then I will take a couple of week and travel around the west coast of US, going to Seattle,San Francisco, Monument valley, Las Vegas, then fly out from Los Angeles with destination OzLand again.
In Australia i will continue my flight training and(hopefully) starting working with the seaplanes, I will probably go back to Sydney, but who knows if company will set up for me another location, if this happen I will have to choose another flight school to continue my training to the Airline Transport pilot license.
After this I will have to fly to Asia Hong Kong to be exact, I will spend a couple of days there i will going to the southern coast of china, passing trough Vietnam,Cambodia,Laos and Thailand where I will check out if a low hour pilot could be hired for a local airline, in fact mostly low hour pilot has been hired in that area, eventhough salary is not really good( $1000US per month) it's a good deal, a couple of year in south east Asia flying experice will allow me to build up a good resumè.
Where I find money for this trip? Actually you could think that i'm rich but I'm not, I have to work hard to do it, but it's my dream it's my life and I wanna do my best to do it...
some good tips: Working while your studying, I've gain experience in many fields during my previous periods abroad.
here you are some tips.
1) The Flight will be buy at the Sta Travel the price is £1300 = 1900 € plus 100 U$ for the Grey hound pass in Usa and I will go from London to Vancouver to Los Angeles to Sydney to Hong Kong to Bangkok then back to London.
2) In Vancouver i will work as waiter making money on tips it's very easy to find out 'coz emplyoyee dosen't have to pay ya :@, but if you found the good place you can get up to 160$ per night with a 70$ average wich is enough to live
3) In Austalia I will work as pilot and i will earn about 36000$ a year have not idea how much tax I will pay but if it will be not enough I'll find out a second part time job as waiter or something and check it out
4) In Asia life is very cheap and actually I haven't planned yet this part of my trip, I hope this is not a working holiday trip :D
So Those are my dreams... impossible??
I BELIVE IN IT ... AND YOU???
