"... The government's weather infamous thief!" No, not at that time but I want to talk about what goes.

This weekend we gathered for the third consecutive year in a convivial gathering of former classmates. The Lycée Stendhal Milano I was lucky enough to attend, as it was a particular model and avant-garde school.

Students who attended the school where the main language was French were from different countries, often young professionals forced to work away from their country of origin and sometimes obligate to stay in foreign countries only for a few years and then change and change again without ever put down roots. Cultures and religions found themselves side by side but ... bank.

English, French, German, Austrian, Canadian, African, Italian, a little of everything '. The teachers were often too young and came from different backgrounds, also moved independently of each other creating colorful reality that allowed students to find a suitable location, however, your feelings.

I still remember the lessons of sex education included in the science curriculum, carried out with intelligence and utility and geography lessons and history is absolutely unparalleled. We worked hard but we made a vacation without being persecuted by the tasks or the remedial examination that there were very rarely and almost never for more than two subjects. He spoke French and Italian at the mixing often with English and German because some students had the mother tongue. They knew each other and reality worlds.

Today, with hindsight, we realized how the proximity with people so different from each other made us feel that they are citizens of the world and make you feel a bit more 'at home everywhere, giving us the ability to adapt to situations strange, but also to understand them more easily. It 's like to feel a bit' more flexible in their thinking and therefore faster mentally.

During this last meeting have been formed the foundation of an association of former, to stimulate cultural activities, discussions and initiatives that have the purpose of study, subjects useful for identifying new business sector in which students today feel more attracted to. Life experiences, helps to facilitate job placement of young students of today and tomorrow. And if possible the creation of a support network to facilitate the study of languages and the ability to travel around the world at low cost assisted by former students who are now scattered to the four corners of the planet. Finally it was decided also to create a scholarship to financially support the most deserving.

Beyond these constructive ideas and proposals and then we moved to a pizzeria and from there in a room for Friday night and giving us an appointment for lunch the next day. C 'is the one who sent the home, those who drink, who the bread and dishes. Those who came from Switzerland, some from France and those from various Italian cities. An organization aided by technological means such as SMS or e-mail that appears every year, no one knows how, just perfect, not only to former students physically present but also those further away across the ocean informed of the facts and especially the multitude of children On that occasion, get together to play together.

The most persistent have extended even festivities in the evening with a chick for everyone. We sbellicati laughter comparing the Italian porn film titles very explicit, more hidden than the French! We talked a bit 'of everything, from politics and social issues in Italy, the endless tasks of the Italian schools, at work and experiences of some, to the rhythms of life and couple that loves to come and go. Finally, we recalled the famous couples of that time and all the different bikes owned. All in a French to me very nostalgic interspersed with "fuck" and other strange hybrid words!

Beyond any possible fear of not knowing what to say, finding himself to discuss the weather, made the infamous time was not discussed at all! You may be wondering how we ended the season but we have been pardoned because magically the rain gave us respite and the sky gave us also some bright spells. I mean we were good together. Now it's decided, we will meet until we have all false teeth and white hair!

Nice to see how some have changed beyond recognition and to the point that if we had met on the street we could pass by without noticing. Others seem to come out of the time machine and watching them since you were afraid of not having done your homework for tomorrow. But one thing is certain, even in the faces and bodies changed as a closer look finds something then, a look, a gesture, an accent in speech, just like 28 years ago.

I thought "The past still exists today and the future is already here"

It 's true that the time and space do not exist, not really ... at least not as we used to believe.
