自由を求めすぎるとどうなるのか？

Wanneer de wind begint te waaien

Wanneer de wind begint te waaien,
Let goed op dan zul je weten waarnaartoe het zal draaien.

Wanneer de wind begint te waaien,
Spreid je vleugels en laat je meevoeren 

Wanneer de wind begint te waaien,
Vertrouw erop dat het je zal dragen en het je zal brengen waar je moet zijn,
Daar waar je thuishoort. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the wind starts to blow

When the wind starts to blow,
Pay attention and you’ll know
Where it wants to go.

When the wind starts to blow,
Spread your wings and follow its flow.

When the wind starts to blow,
Trust that it’ll take you there,
There where you belong,
There where you’re supposed to be.

K-Life Long Term Foreign Resident Pros and Cons

“And if those trespassers make a move for their rifles, get out of there quick fast!” said Tom as a 
final word of caution to his loyal subordinates. 

At that moment, Tom was startled by a loud SLAM. An unknown figure wrapped in multi-coloured plastic had dropped from the sky and landed right in front of him. The figure groaned as it struggled to breathe. The figure unwrapped itself and came face to face with a giant 15ft alligator. 

“ARRGGHHH!” screamed the skydiver. But his scream shifted to a groan. He winced in pain, grabbing his right arm – possibly a broken bone or dislocated joint. The skydiver got to his knees and begun backing away. 

“Please… Please! Don’t eat me!” cried the skydiver. But Tom the giant alligator was disinterested in eating the injured animal. “Name yourself, human,” said Tom. But all the skydiver perceived was a deadly growl. The skydiver couldn’t comprehend that the 
monster was trying to communicate with him. 

Seeing terror in the skydiver’s eyes, Tom tried to de-escalate the situation. “I am the great Tom. I preside over these lowlands. Simply identify yourself, human, and you will leave with your life. But if you are a poacher—” THUD! The skydiver had snatched the nearest rock, a good-sized one, the size of a bowling ball, and hurled it at the monster’s head. It struck like a sledgehammer on the alligator’s snout. With a momentary distraction, the skydiver limped away into the tall grass. Tom felt a flame of anger ignite in his reptilian brain. His instincts kicked in and he charged for the human. It was as easy as catching up to a crawling baby. Tom WHACKED the limping man across the face with the mighty power of his dragon-like tail. 

After the jaw-breaking blow, the last thing the skydiver saw was the horrific sight of dark
yellow eyes staring into his. “That wasn’t very nice…” said Tom to the unconscious body. “Did you think I wanted to eat you? I have no taste for human flesh or blood. I’m a pescetarian, for crying out loud!”

Tom the Crocodile

Jimmy abita a Venezia in un appartamento al primo piano. A lui non piace il pianoterra perché quando c’è l’acqua alta, l’acqua entra in casa. Il primo piano è più sicuro.

Come quasi tutte le case di Venezia, anche la casa di Jimmy è antica. È grande e spaziosa, ma non troppo luminosa. La casa è pulita e ordinata. Ci sono tante piante, che Jimmy cura ogni giorno.

La casa ha un grande salotto con il divano, le poltrone, la libreria e la televisione. Davanti al divano c’è un tavolino. Sopra il tavolino c’è un vaso di rose e sotto il tavolino c’è un tappeto. Nella casa ci sono anche una cucina con il forno, i fornelli e il frigorifero - dove Jimmy tiene il cibo; un bagno con la vasca e due camere da letto. Nella camera da letto grande c’è un letto matrimoniale in mezzo a due comodini. Nella camera da letto piccola ci sono due letti singoli ed è la camera per gli ospiti. A casa di Jimmy ci sono anche un guardaroba per i vestiti e uno sgabuzzino dove conserva le scatole e i prodotti per pulire.

Marco abita al pianoterra in un bilocale. Bilocale significa che la casa ha solo due stanze: un salotto molto piccolo che comprende anche la cucina e una camera da letto dove Marco dorme, tiene la scrivania con il computer e l’armadio con i vestiti. Ha anche un bagno con doccia.

La casa di Marco è piccola, stretta, buia, un po’ sporca e molto disordinata. Per questo motivo Marco trascorre molto tempo a casa di Jimmy a giocare a carte con lui. Anche se sono molto diversi, insieme si divertono molto.
