Cataluña is a top tourist destination because has:
-> The Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet: It was founded by Cistercian monks from France. The main architect was Arnau Bargués. is the royal pantheon of the kings of the Crown of Aragon since James I of Aragon.

Spanish cuisine consists of a great variety of dishes which stem from differences in geography, culture and climate. Is influenced by seafood.
The variety of Spanish climate means you can take a wide range of different vegetables, cereals, vegetables and fruits. This variety can be seen in Spanish cuisine. The paella is a dish originated in the Land of Valencia, is famous as The Churros, is a desserts, usually eaten with hot chocolate.

EXAMS!!!


Is a horrible word, when our teachers tell us that the other week we will have exams, in those moments we are stressed!, and I think that this happens because our family says that we need have good califications, because if you don´t have, we can´t leave with our friends or we can´t see the TV or use the computer.

I think that the exams are terrible, because from that I was children my parents told me that I need have excellent califications, and now I ask me, why says that?
I don´t know but I believe that the exams doesn´t matter as much as all the people say. Because in the real life, the application of what you learn is very different at like your teacher or parents say, so eliminates the thinking of that the exams are all!

None person can said that your ratings are bad, because they can´t revised your knowledge. The exams are for know how much you are learn, but if in the exams you have a seven or eight and you don´t study I think that this is better that other person that study one day before of exam and have nine or ten, because the exams are for know how much you are learn in the class, no in your house, so if you put attention in the class you know all the that you need know. Really the person that has ten or nine is because have a scholarship and they needed have these ratings,
but if you relax and breathe you can answer the exam better. Stop over the pessimism and start off enjoy more.

So when you have an exam just breathe and smile, you will feel better and your teacher and friends too, and the exam will be live up to your expectations,and nothing complicated.

A Better World


I have a class about the nature and the four elements and in this class they teach me the better form for the care the planeta. After of my class i take conscience about the world.

What means care the four elements? is the first thing that they ask me, What would be the better way to care for the four elements? and actually i didn´t idea, they say me that us live as if everything around us was eternal as if we had other planet.

For all the person the water is indispensable, like fire, like the earth and air.
The fire is energy (as we all know), and the world is moving with energy. But if there is a lot of fire, what happens? Contaminated the earth and the air, but if we use water to extinguish the fire, we will be without water and without fire.
The water, for example, what do we do? The world is divided into areas of drought and flood zones. We missed the middle point. It is too clear that something is wrong, right? so we need pay atention to this, because We missed the balance.

So is time of the change, we need to take care the elements, we need take conscience about our world.
You can take part of the improvement of the world. When you use any of the four elements you have to be careful. If each person help a little I believe that this world each day will be better and so we can live in a world full of live.

Is the moment! change your mind and begins to help!!!

Lateral thinking



Now i put a problem for you:

.....A man walks into a bar, and asks the bartender for a drink of water. The bartender pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says "Thank you" and leaves. What happened?....

From birth we learn to see and understand things one way. We understand the words of one way.
But when we dared to think differently, there are different solutions. In general, we rely on our eyes, when in fact we have more senses. Sometimes it isn´t seeing, but touching, smelling, hearing or tasting something that is resolved.
Leave aside the only way we see the world. Well, that is lateral thinking. Nothing has a unique solution. Not everything is what we see through the eyes, for we have other four senses something more. We just have to use and learn to see, to do with the other senses. Not everything is what we see with the eyes. There's always more, much more. We just have to learn to see.

Lateral thinking is a term coined by Edward de Bono in his book The New Think: The Use of Lateral Thinking published in 1967.

The answer of the previous problem is that the man had hiccup, is a easy answer but we need think different, not everything is as it seems!!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland


I love this book!!!, is a little crazy but really is a good book. Is a wonderful book where you can find magic, adventures and laughters.

Alice`s Adventures in Wonderland commonly known as Alice in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carroll and this book has created some movies in differents year and with differents directors. After of this book Lewis Carroll wrote "Through the looking-glass and what Alice found there" but this book is least known.

Alice in Wonderland speaks of a girl that has a dream, in this dream she can speak with the animals, she follows to a white rabbit and she falls to wonderland. has to pass several adventures, challenges and tricks made by her animal friends. Alice to inspire or influence many other works of art to this day.

Have different editions but i recommend really that you read the original book, so you can compare the different movies and books.
