EISTEDDFOD

The Eisteddfod is a traditional Welsh festivity that includes music, dancing and poetry. The word Eisteddfod means "To be sit". The festivity is hold in Whales, Australia and Argentina. I am gonna talk a bit about the argentinean one.
The Argentinean government gave the opportunity to the welsh community to establish themselves in a new place where they wouldn't be judged by their religion, costumes or language. Lewis Jones and Edwyin C. Roberts prepared all burocratic issues before the first boat arrived to Argentina, in 1865. Since then they have nurtured their culture and kept it alive.
The Eisteddfod is hold in Trevelin (Town), Gaiman (town), Puerto Madryn (city) and Trelew(city). Gaiman and Trevelin are the biggest references of welsh towns in Argentina. Trelew is a big city where the most important Eisteddfod is hold, in October. Though the city itself isn't a pure and exclusive welsh place, it is influenced by Gaiman that is next to it. Puerto Madryn is a city by the sea, also influenced a bit by the welsh culture.


This is the welsh flag! A dragon ! how cool is that haha!

Scusa ma ti chiamo amore - I am sorry if I call you Love

 The other day I finished reading this book. It is a very cute love story and I recomend it to all those dreamer girls that need some inspiration.  Very few descriptions on characters let you imagine them as your pleasure. But do not think they are just plain characters, as the story develops you discover their unique personalities.
  Italy. Niki is a young girl who is finishing her last year at high school. Alex is an advertising enterpreneur who in his late thirties. Niki meets Alex when he drives his car over her. What he does not know is that incident will change his life forever. The plot also develops the love relationships and adventures of several characters at different stages of life and situations.
 The book mixes love with everyday situations in a very realistic way that makes you feel part of the story. If you have the chance to read it, it is a highly-recomended book. If not you can watch the movie, with the same name.
