Music, Movies, and Books

I like different kinds of movies and books. The truman show was an excellent movie, so were The bucket list, Pursuit of happiness, Harry Potter saga, The lord of the rings, The butterfly effect, Zeigeist, inception, etc.
About books, i recently finished "El mundo de Sofía" (Sofia's world). I recommend it, it's a very good book about philosophy.
I like to read economy and finance books, too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Only one?!?!I have a lot! But i'm going to say an experience i had once in Myanmar.
I was in Bagan with a friend looking for a temple to see the sunset. Suddenly, we saw a carriage with people and we decided to follow it.
In the end of the way was a little mountain full of kids aged between 3 and 14 years that wanted to sell us their drawings. We started a conversation with them and exchanged a few things. They gave us as a handmade bracelet and i to them a few bills and coins of my country (Argentina), because they had a collection about foreign money. After that, we told them that we had the intention of going to a non-turistic temple, so they offered us to follow them to a place that only locals know, so we decided to accept their offer and go.
After a few minutes from there, we arrived to the place. It was out of tourists, so we were alone, exchanging stories and culture information between the burmese boys.
An hour and a half to the sunset, and we were still talking with the very interesting people we just met, learning about how they live, what do they enjoy doing, hobbies, where do they study or live, etc. After all that 1.30 hour, the time had come. The sun started to go down between all the clouds that looked like drawn in the sky, giving us a beautiful time and view.
Slowly, the sun disappeared, leaving us a perfect picture in my mind, with the temples in low colors because of the short quantity of light, the sky colored with red, orange, pink and blue, the mist adding magic to the moment.
Suddenly, it was gone at all, and so was the day, a fully emotional-charged one. We both (my friends and i) can say it was the best day of our lifes. We will never forget it.
That was what we wanted to live in that country. We wanted to experience a chat between local people, learn about them and their lifes.
The life gave us the chance to meet the indicated people, in the right time, in the perfect place. i will always be gratefull with the chance the life gave me.
