Baobabs and more

Day 33. Who is the person from literature that you would most like to meet and talk to?  Why?  What would you like to ask? 

I'd really want to meet and talk to The Little Prince. There's no particular reason for that. I'm very curious about his travels around the different planets and his baobab uprooting techniques. I bet he'll end up asking me to draw him a sheep or an elephant under a blanket.

Limitless

32.  Who is the person from history that you would most like to meet and talk to?  Why?  What would you like to ask? 

I don't really know who I want to meat but I know the type of person I want to meet. I just saw one movie. It's called "Limitless". It's about a guy who is given a drug that enhances the cognitive abilities of a human. I know that a lot of people in history have done this without a drug and I want to meet them. I'd ask them what did they have to give up in order to achieve this state of mind. The reason why I'd ask this is that I've always wanted to achieve this state of mind but I don't really know where to start. So their experience will probably a good starting point.

Perfect Day

31.  Describe the perfect day.  Put in as many details as you can.  Make it a possible day, not a "dream day." 

I'll wake up early in the morning and I'll make a pancake mix. I will then start making pancakes while everybody else starts waking up tempted by the wonderful smell. My brother will help me with arranging the table and he will warm up yesterday's herb tea. When everybody wakes up, there's plenty of pancakes already and we all listen to music and eat pancakes. After finishing all the pancakes I play a little bit on my computer and then my best friend comes to my house and we head out to play some soccer. We play for 2 hours and then we just down and talk about what we did during the summer. In the late afternoon I come back home and I do some work for my computer science project and I'm very enthusiastic about. I then read a little bit from my book and then I go to the living room to eat with my family. We finish eating and then we all play a playing cards game. Then we drink a little bit of herb tea and then we fall asleep at the coach.

Fancy fly

29.  What would you do if the dinner served to you in a fancy restaurant came with a fly in the mashed potatoes? 

I wouldn't do anything special. I'll just ask for the waiter to explain why there's a fly in my masked potatoes(I probably won't order mashed potatoes in a fancy restaurant but anyway) and if he says something pretentious, I'll just pack up and leave without touching or paying for the food. If he doesn't, I'll just order something else but I'll put the next dish to a careful examination before trying something from it. 

Travelling...

28.  What would you do if you could travel free anyplace in the world?

If I could travel free anyplace in the world, I would never stop travelling. I'd try to visit as much from the world as possible. I'll try to do it on foot because that's the truest way to get to know a country. I'll learn the languages spoken at the places that I'm visiting and I'll read their literature. I'll talk to them, I'll make friends with them, I will write about them, I will take pictures and videos of them, and I will become one of them. I'll never stop writing because I want to share all of my experiences with people. Travelling is the best way to break out of the chains of your limited vision.
