First lesson on Italki
Today I had my first lesson on Italki. The teacher is living in Thailand and me and my wife were in Thailand just two years ago. So it was amazing to talk about Thailand people and religion and so on.
I think next time we will discuss about Thai kitchen that is very particular for italian taste: a lot of spicy, a lot of different flavours and tastes and often a mix of sweet and salad.
In italian cooking we use to made food salad OR sweet: it's very rare to have the two taste together.
The conversation was fluent and the teacher was very kind to understand my bad english: I hope to enhance also with his help.

Why I prefer to live on my boat in Sardinia
I'm 66 years old and after a life spent in Milan (Italy) working hard as a journalist and a publisher, at the end of 2012 I decided to stop working and starting to have a lot of free time only for me.
But I'm married and my wife is still working, so what can I do, as living in Milan is very boring for a retired?
Milan is a fantastic city: you can find movies, music, books, theater, shopping and a lot of situation to meet friends or to have culture.
But people is always in a hurry, the traffic run quickly and everyone is working hard: they have no time to stay during the day in a coffe shop talking about music and weather. Or taking a walk, looking for the new architecture.
And, in addition, the weather is not so good: the winter is cold, the summer is warm, the pollution is high, the noise is deafening.
Since the year 1980 I love to sailing on my boat White Duck, a 12 m, and in the recent years we transferred the boat in Sardinia, a very beautiful island in the Mediterranean Sea.
So, one day I decided: I want to live on my boat in Sardinia.
The next winter will be the third that I spend on my boat.
Every month I come back for a week in Milan to meet my family and friends, and sometimes my wife or my daughter went in Sardinia to stay some days together. And in summer, of course, we sail together.
My wife is an expert sailor like me and everyday we have some good reason to have different opinions about the route or mooring, or ...you know...
I feel good and I have a lot of time to take a walk on the mountains or along the sea, to read some good books, to hear music and to have a dinner with friends, retired like me.
Do you think that I'm wrong?
