    I agree with Daffodil. I want to be able to read some great german thinkers and writers in their native language. I think that's when you can appreciate the most (that being said, I'm not trying to make any translator mad) It feels like you're more connected when you're able to understand someone in their mother tongue. That feeling pushes me to keep learning. I also believe german sounds beautiful and its syntax is somehow very satisfying.

    Gabriel García Marquez is my country's most famous writer. His book "100 años de soledad" is considered his best work. I prefer though his short stories like "Memorias de mis putas tristes" "Relato de un náufrago" "El coronel no tiene quién le escriba" y "El amor en los tiempos del cólera".

    In Colombia, people can find a cheap lunch (around 5-6 thousand pesos which is two dollars) that includes a little piece of meat or chicken, rice, salad and if you're very lucky, some soup. But I'd say the cheapest is "Fritos". There's a wide variety and it's basically flour that has meat or chicken inside, and sometimes eggs, and then is fried. They're delicious and cheap but definitely not very healthy. They cost around one or two thousand pesos (less than one dollar) My favorite one is "Papa rellena" which is a potato full of meat and a hard-boiled egg.

    For some reason I love cooking rice and beans. My grandmother had so many tricks that would supposedly make the rice slightly better. Washing the rice, then preparing the oil with a little piece of garlic and some salt. Then the water had to be like a lake around the rice mountain.
    With the beans, I just throw all I have in the fridge in there, and I love when the sauce is dark red and thick. You have to let them cook for almost 1 hour to get them like that and constantly add tomato sauce so that the sauce doesn't completely dry.

    When I was little I loved the violin. I saw a teacher playing it once (the piece she was playing was canon in d) I asked my parents for classes but they didn't have the money so it wasn't possible.

    When I started to work, the first thing I bought was a violin. And then I got classes for one year, I would say I learned the basics. But little by little, I noticed that I needed great consistency because I was a very slow learner. I didn't have a goal or any rush but something I noticed frustrated me a lot: if I didn't play for just one week I would regress enormously. This would make it stressful and then I didn't enjoy it. 

    I believe every hobby should be a source of happiness, it should never bring any more stress. I thought that I would remember just like drawing (I was very naive, I had been drawing since I was little so that was very different) In the end, I decided to quit. But I'm glad, now I know how it is. I don't regret it, it was still a good investment that took that itchy idea out of my mind.

    I want to be an eagle so that I can fly and grab bunnies with my claws. But I wouldn't kill them, just give them a ride and then safely land them back home.

    Hi Wanda! 
    I recommend you Marc levy's books. When I was able to reach an intermediate level of french, I enjoyed reading his books because they were in a certain way easy to read but still challenging for that phase. 
    I've read though that many people don't like his books, I honestly don't know why (maybe they're too simple?) My favorite one is "Une autre idée du bonheur".

    Some time ago I watched a documentary that presented the following idea: when groups of people became sedentary and were also able to grow crops and their animals, if they had a good uhmmm "season" they would have extra food or animals. And that's when commerce started. In order to keep records of their quantities/sells/debts, they started to look for a mean to keep track of it. If I'm not mistaken, they were the sumerians. Then it developed to more complex content that they valued like stories, laws, etc.

    But I also believe that it depends on the materials you have access to for this to happen. They used clay, I think. It was able to last, but what if other people did it before on material that didn't last and therefore, it was lost? 

    I also believe some civilizations would lean more towards a spoken tradition. Depending on the way work was distributed and how their communities socialized.
