Death by Funky

Death by Franky is a book in Spanish, I will do a chronic of the Jordi Casals talk.

image

The author is Jordi Casals, he lives in Roses. He explain to us that first he was doing a script to do a stage play. One of his friends said to him why you don't do a book and he answered to him:" is a very good idea".
After this he started to rewrote the script to did a book. His conclusion was that you ever trust with the people around you.

One of the matter that he started to describe, were the characters, he fond of with Nick the writer who lives in the street, because he got drank all day.

image

In my opinion he persuaded to me because he know to make people laugh, because he works in "Ins illa de Rodes".
I think that he is a very funny and imagination person. He show this quality when you are reading his book.

Deadly Ebola virus

I talk about a reporter who explain the situation of Ebola, he compare Ebola between African civil war, when he was in Sierra Leona, Africa.

The reporter tell about of the disaster. The people and the reporter lives and share the same pain feelings and the same suffering. He was kidnap by the rebel forces(RUF). When the armed forces free the capital, the work continue and they started a rehabilitation program (UNICEF).

They need to move while he was kidnap, because he and the other people have been bombing by the armed forces.

image

Now the reporter stay in the same place, Sierra Leona but now there is a different problem, the problem is the Ebola.

image

He said that his conclusion is that the death of the people is a cause of the Ebola. Before the Ebola he saw the country rebuild, but after the Ebola the country is a disaster like in the African civil war.

The reporter think that he has to stay in this place, because he share who we are. Also he talk about the Domund motto because the happiness will revive, but he confirm that it doesn't revive, only it grow up because we never lose the happiness.

Bologna

Now I talk about Bologna, because I have been in December.

This city is in the north of Italy. Bologna is the largest city and the capital of the Emilia-Romagna Region in Italy. There are one million inhabitants.

image

The Symbols that distinguish Bologna are two towers the Asinelli Tower and Grisenda Tower. They are approximately 60-70 meters high.
The towers were used by scientists for experiments to study the heavy motion and earth rotation. In World War II they were used as a sight post to prevent bombing attacks.

image

Bologna is known for giving its name to Bolognese sauce.

The Climate is humid, subtropical climate with a little influence from the sea and much influence from the mountains, so the winters are ver cold.

My brother Roger

I talk about my brother and I will describe a picture of him.

My brother is Roger Garriga Salleras. He's nineteen. He studied to be an aeronautical mechanic in Barcelona.

He went to Art aeronautical museum called aeroteca in Barcelona. He went with the school because He studied for aircraft mechanic.

He explain to me that there was an old man, who works in Kings of Spain (very important aeronautical company).

He flew by Boing 737 from Barcelona to Madrid in the simulator. He said to me that this experience to fly with a simulator, that was like a real plane, was a feeling that he always remember.

Apart of this is an amazing, incredible and witty person, that he always help to me to be a good person.

Ornithology mundial championship

Now I talk about the Ornithology mundial in Rosmalen-Netherland, because I have been with my family and friends of my parents.

My father's friend, Joan is a person who compete in this Mundial. This year he is third of ruficaudas. Ruficaudas is a kind of exotic birds.

image

This is the Joan's ruficauda, if you can read the name that is below the middle, you will read Joan's surname: Congost Llovet.

In Rosmalen we visited the cathedral and the center of the city, but we stayed all the weekend in the Mundial.
I saw a kinds of birds that I had never seen. There were parrots and another species of birds. In the Mundial compete a lot of birds that its color was powerful, incredible and unusual. I had an amazing experience, because there were millions of birds and when you go into the pavilion you can heard a lot of loud, because there were a lot of birds.

Pau and Marc Gasol in the All-Stars games

Image

This last All-Star the Gasol brothers have fulfilled the best dream of basketball, said Nick Friedell.

I think that was very special that two brothers play headlines in this event, the All-Stars. For Marc and Pau have an amazing feeling.

Pau said that it's something that has never happened before and it's hard to believe that it happened.
Marc repeat what his brother said. He just see that the people are so many supporting them.

Is the first time that two Spain brothers play headlines in All-Stars. This picture that you see for the reporters and basketball lovers was a very exciting and incredible moment.

Apart of this Westbrook stole all the attention to the two brothers, but doesn't matter because this moment will marked in the NBA's history.
