Letter to a Magazine - Luca

Hello, I’m Luca.
I just wanted to say that I love the magazine, I buy every edition. In my case, it gives much useful information. When I wanted to do an exchange program I just went to the Exchange page of yours. When I travelled to the U.K. I went to the Tourism section. Anyway, the information pages are just perfect.
In the other hand, when you talk about Curiosities your texts are too simple. Sometimes we, readers, want to know more about a certain subject so it’s boring when you end it with “if you want to learn more about this…”
I’d also like to ask you to give us some help with finding schools over the world, or just giving some explanation about how to find an English school. I really wanted to have some advanced classes, but I can’t find where.
Thanks for listening.

Money x Life

People nowadays are becoming more and more ambitious, but is this actually good? Everyone is more interested in money than in passing time with the children. How far can caring about money go before it gets dangerous?
With all our capitalism it’s comprehensible that we want more money, so that we can afford better clothes, toys and environment. All in all we just want better conditions to our children and to ourselves. Everyone connects money with happiness, it’s a natural thought of humans, but it may not be that.
If you think carefully, there can both be a sad successful businessman and a happy family farmer. Just as having money does not mean happiness, not having it doesn’t mean sadness either, it all depends on what circumstances you are talking about.
So, next time you see a poor person laughing, don’t be pity, he may be even more happy than you.

A Location scout... boring huh?

Imagine you, working as someone that receives money to search for nice places for movies scenes. Imaginded? Well, you are now a location scout! I'd like to be one. It's interesting and not very difficult either. But a location scout has to be clever and think in the PERFECT place for the scene, otherwise the movies wouldn't be that nice.
Everything depends on you and the place you have chosen. The location scout travels arround the world to find the place. China, Brazil, India... and the place you have chosen doesn't necessarily need to be the place the movie will tell people it is. Well, guess that's the cinema magic.
