It's hard to pick one! But I'll share one of the most memorable ones. My husband and I decided to go on a honeymoon to Bali and I made up my mind to learn some Indonesian. Just for fun, because, obviously I wouldn't need it. My husband teased me because of that, he said I was just wasting my time :) but I love learning languages, so I tried to learn some words anyway. And once when we were travelling from one of Bali's numerous waterfalls, we were extremely thirsty and were looking for any shop or café to have a drink. Finally I noticed a little juice place and we stopped to buy some fresh juice. And the woman didn't speak English! That was my moment! I spoke to her in Indonesian! Well, technically, I just named some kinds of fruit, but it totally counts :)) unfortunately I didn't know the Indonesian word for "sugar", so I couldn't explain to her that we didn't want any sugar in the juice. The juice was so awful we couldn't drink it 🤣 Nevertheless, this situation motivated me a lot and showed me that when you work on your skills, any skills at that, it's never in vain.

The relationship between income and the happiness of an individual could be looked at from a global perpective or from the personal perspective of each individual. In the recent years, polls done on the happiness and well-being of individuals indicate Finland, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland and Denmark as being the top countries where the happiest people live. At the the end of these reports are countries like Afganistan, Zimbabwe, and South Sudan. These official global reports clearly indicate the existence of a tight connection between the happiness of an individual and his income. From the personal perspective of each individual we have had a lot of examples of famous and successful individuals that despite their fourtunes were very unhappy. In the end it is important not to have more than one can handle, but just enough to be happy.

Ayer yo aprendí sobre el fondo de la olla cuando está cocinando arroz con gandules. Tiene una nombre formal... no recuerdo ahorita. Pero me recordé que es similar con una otra cultura. El fondo de la olla de fufu, una plata de arroz Africana, también es lo más deseado. Y he aprendido que necesito una olla especial para cocinar arroz con gandules. Caldero se llama, creo.
