Still water run deep:
I've tooked this picture just yesterday afternoon, but if I did took it 50 years agoabd you couldn't have nootice the difference !
Do you know why? Because them in the mean time haven't change!

"Since I've moved down here the best part of the whole experience has still probably been the few weeks spent with Bruno up in Cairns,

Where more as two old friends than brothers we were used to embark on endless chat that would easily last entire nights,
during with the topic of our conversation would change every twenty minutes or some from one to another and then BANG ! back
Ranging (and often raging) from politics to movies, from economy to music, from sex to religion and so on...
Often agreeing as often as we didn't : ) so much and often so our flatmates believed we were fighting (often staring at us speechless : )
good memory indeed!"

Well what yesterday afternoon happened in front of my place here in Sydney strongly remind me about me and my brother fiercely chatting during our sleepless nights with the only difference I was with a bunch of young fellas with an average age of nearly 80yo! But with a sharp mind I hardly find in people of my age!
I was so lucky that after a jogging on my way home I met John who moved in Australia 56 years ago right from Italy, so when he find out I'm from there too, here that he start to share with me the highlits of his life and I was so eager to listen because John was honest and like a living Jake La Motta roll out what made his life great and what miserable revealing to be still a good enterteiner!
He did brook often our conversation starting to sing "Que Sera Sera" or pulling out of his sleeve a funny joke!
Aik on the other hand is happy-go-lucky person and you are free to not believe me but from his 80 years is one of the most funny person I've meet so far~! And in combination with the italian bloke the two of them were improvising a two men show just with miself as lonely standing audience!

We did debate to whom had been the real king of rock and roll (if Bill Haley or Elvis Presley), or about the new cinema standard or better NO standard at all! But apart from those kind of things we spoke about the situation of nowdays fact and the both of them did show me an outstanding intelligence about what it's happening about the world we are living in and the possible solution to make it better, we agree on many points, and the most important are the following:

• Why travelling happend to see inimagginable poor children with a disarming smile which we can find in western kids? We think that because one of our biggest mistake and one of the first lesson our children learn from us, is "Took it for granted" that's a big mistake that's a huge misunderstaniding how we are "Standing on the Giants Shoulders" without with our own endless selfish would crumble miserably!
• We spoke a lot about immigration and what make country rich or poor! And we realize that (as smarter people of us realized befor) that some country are lucky and some are not! We fear our future... I actually fear much more then my fellows (obviously) but we agreed that if 3 old friends on the wayside relize what went wrong is easy to believe that people with a large better education and high better points of view not just saw all that before, but even plan it, so the question is WHY ?

The easy answer is that GREEDINESS is what human beings are made off

And when again John start with his feeling how we are facing the scenario of a new World War (singing in Italian "Non ce' il due senza il tre" [there isn't any two without three] making shivering an even elderly hungarian woman whom by that point did join the three of us : )
To this tragic-comic sketch our friend Aik point out how that it's already on because the whole world is running out of money! And it's pretty true!

Now the conclusion about my new friends are that we should in primis respect whom came before us, try to understand what make things the way they are and what we can do to change for the better.

From myself I'm happy I had the chance to meet those great next door guys and I hope to stop for a lovely chat next time I'll spot them!
May be heading for a walk they both suffer a light diabetic or even better forgetting abut the sugar enjoy a nice chocolat outside a bar where the Aik's wife cannot find us and thus complain about it : )

My lesson for the day was "Don't judge a book from it's cover"
