Where would I live?

If I could have chosen the community I would live on, I would have chosen Norway, Finland or South Korea.

The reason I picked those places is their education level. They stand in the highest places concerning education, and each country has reasons for me to pick them.

South Korea has had a strong development concerning education in the last 30 years. It was once at Mexico's level, but now it has a better education than us. Their culture is completely different from ours, that's another reason I picked it. The only problem there is the pressure that society puts on kids and teens, they are heavily pressured and people have high expectations of everyone. Teens my age in S.K. barely sleep, they study from 6 a.m. when they get to school to 2 a.m., not only in school, but they also pay teachers to teach them outside school.

Norway, apart from having a pretty good education, is also one of the most pacific countries in the world. With one of the less crime ratios. It is also a very ecologic country.

I don't know to many things of Finland apart from it being in one of the highest places concerning education level. But it would be a nice choice too.

Community

The beach
Nightlife in 5th Ave
I do have a camera, but I'm unable to go out this weekend due to some problems, so I got some images from internet which I consider represent this community.

One of them is the beach, and the other one is the 5th Ave. Both represent tourism, during daylife and during nightlife. Shopping, getting tans, it's like an aphrodisiac paradise.

This just represents the turisitic part of our community, the good part. Because there are actually lots of problems regarding crime, pollution, government, etc... Most of that part of our community can't be found on the internet.

Idiom

"Paint the town red"

This idiom means you are going to have fun, not by painting the town, obviously, but by doing whatever you want in a "wildish" way.

This idiom comes from around 1837 when Marquis de Waterford, a troublemaker, spent a night vandilizing in England; and they literally painted the town red.

Dialogue:

-Guess who just got back today.
-Who?
-Them wild-eyed boys that had been away. They were asking if you were around.
-I'm looking forward to paint the town red with them!

Recommendation

I recommend to spend an entire day in the 5th avenue. In the morning or during midday you could be at the beach, relaxing. If you get hungry you could also eat at the beach, but there are several other options in 5th avenue. After eating, it's nice to go on a walk and maybe shopping, or just wandering around. You could buy a coffee and sit down while you observe the people around you, and maybe hear some live music. You could also get dinner there, and if you don't want to, you could go home after renting some movies at the blockbuster.

Reading review

I actually read the lyrics of a song in Spanish whose title in English would be Desert... I'm gonna translate the whole lyrics so I can review them.

I'll to write a song for those who never had anything
And so those who never had anything now have a song
And are able to sing it
And are able to sing it

I'll write a song for those who never had someone
And so now they know they have someone that writes them a song

I'll write a song that talks about me, that talks about everyone
That talks about everyone who is heartbroken
And be able to sing it
And be able to sing it

In my opinion, it is a nice song, and obviously in Spanish it is better. It's kind of sad and brief. Talking about lonely people who feel they have never had anything, but at the same time they've had it all in music.
I like this kind of music, which talks about feelings: love, hate, sadness; in a realistic way and/or using metaphors. I like to sing them and to relate myself to them.
