Entropa

This morning while reading the newspaper from Beijing – I returned last 7th of January - in Internet I saw a news that drove my attention: Entropa.

I take this opportunity to tell you that I had a very good time back in Spain surrounded of family, friends a good food. The three kings whom are in Spain in charge to bring you the presents during Christmas period decided to put on my “personal luggage” 2-3 extra kilos. My luggage when returning to Beijing also came overweighed of traditional Spanish products – making an exception to my recent tradition to travel light. They guy from KLM who made my check-in at Barajas Airport (just 2 days before the big snow) told me: “You have some overweight – haven`t you?” I was just about to reply him that it was due to the good Chirstmas meals, and I just realised he meant my suitcase…

Mr. Sarkozy also packed his suitcase to leave the EU presidency and passed it over Mr. Topolánek. I have to say, that the news I have read so far about Mr. Topolánek were not very encouraging as he seems to be Euro sceptic. However, I liked the initiative that may be his team had to have Eurotropa.

The EU presidency normally provides with a pice of art during the 6 months of presidency. This time Eurotropa was the contribution of 27 European artists where each one contributed with some kind of stereotype of his or her own country.

You can find from the map of Spain full of concrete, referring to the last few years construction fibre to the strike tradition of France, passing for the football as one of the most important for Italians.

As I do not like much Mr. Topolánek, I plan to stay here in China at least 6 more months
