Where is the most secure place in the world? People often think that your life is in a hazardous exposure if you go far away in the world than if you stay at home. I still remember when I was 20 years old and I decided to travel to India for about three months. My mother was very worried and she advised me about all hazards of the whole world. She said the most peaceful place on Earth was our little town near the Pyrenees. Well, I went to India anyway. In the 80s there was no internet nor the mobile. My trip was really wonderful in spite of many difficulties that I had to face. I came back to my village three months after my departure and I was astonished when I realized that the house in front of mine collapsed. Two people were killed. One of them was an old woman who did not used to get out of the village. She died at her home watching TV.

How can you make a fried egg? Well, it is really easy and only takes a few minutes. You need an egg, olive oil and a pinch of salt. Take a small saucepan and put it on the stove. Add about half a centimeter -or more- of olive oil in the pan. When the oil is hot you have to break the eggshell on the edge of the saucepan with the hand and then carefully pour the yolk and the egg white into the recipient. With the help of a spatula you must spatter hot oil over the egg. When the egg seems to be fried enough, you must remove it with the spatula and put it on a plate. Be careful and don't break the yolk in doing that process. Is highly recommended that the yolk remains viscous. Then, the fried egg is ready to be eaten. The Spanish grandmothers say that in order of avoid hot oil splashing during the cooking, it is helpful to throw two or three rice grains on the oil. Just try it!

What can I do while doing the cleaning? What can I do while doing the domestic labor? I hate doing the house cleaning and other domestic work but there is no choice and I have to do it. There are people who usually listen to the music at the same time at ironing, dusting or washing dishes. Instead, I have decided to turn on the TV and listen to an English spoken program. Sometimes I don't pay much attention to what they are talking about but I think it can be helpful anyway. What do you think?

Is it worth saving money in Spain? This is a true story that happened in Spain. An old friend of mine called Josep spent all his life saving money in order to have a pleasant old age. Another friend called Dieguito wasted all his savings in parties, drinks, travels and had an amusing life. Both, Josep and Dieguito, had been working in the same factory for the whole life. When they got old and became disable to life on their own, they asked to join in a residence for seniors. Josep asked first in a public one which was subsidized by the government and was cheaper, but the residence denied his request because he had incomes in the bank. He had to pay a private and expensive one. Few months later, Dieguito did the same procedures and he was accepted in the cheaper residence. After that real case, is it worth saving money in Spain?

Yogyakarta If you are intending to visit Java -the most populated island in Indonesia- it is worth enough to spend few days in Yogyakarta, a city in the center of the island. From there, you can make wonderful 1-day excursions. For example it is very recommended to visit Borobudur -a 9th-century Buddhist Temple- and Prambanan -a 9th-century Hindu Temple-. Also Yogyakarta has an interesting atmosphere, specially Malioboro Street, a crowded 2-km avenue where you can buy handcrafted souvenirs, eat traditional food and enjoy and listening from live music. And if you like diving don't miss a trip to Parangtritis, a beautiful beach 40 km from the city.

Barcelona has lost her sool. During the last 10-15 years, the heart of Barcelona has been losing her soul. Why? A center without neighbours is an artificial place. The streets are full of tourist, the buildings have been converted into hostels and nowadays the old shops only sell souvenirs. People left from the center and went to live to the surroundings and residents don't go to the center: is not their city. Barcelona has died because her success. Bye, bye.
