Io sono andato a un evento piccolo per Lapo Pistelli con 12 persone all’ufficio di INPUT. A questo evento, Lapo ha parlato più delle cose diverse che voleva fare a Firenze.

L’anno scorso, sono andato in India per tre settimane. Però, ho dimenticato di mettere il mio diario sul mio blog. Comunque, eccolo. Buon divertimento! (Sfortunatamente, l’ho già scritto in inglese.
