This morning I woke up and remembered of the singing frog of an old cartoon I used to watch when I was a child, searched it on you tube and there it was. This is one my favourite cartoons ever.
After this, I was already in the mood and spent the whole morning watching my all time favourite cartoons, like Tom & Jerry and The Pink Panther.
Now for you, “One Froggy Evening”, featuring Michigan J Frog, the singer frog, and the lyrics of “Hello my Baby” to follow along.

Right now, I am living in Levico Terme, a city of a population of less than 7000 inhabitants which in most places of the American Continent I know would hardly considered civilization by metropolitan people.
Five kilometers east of Levico is a rural zone whey they grow apples, strawberries, flowers, potatoes and other things. And some 15Km northeast of Levico is Trento, the capital of the Province with a population of about 100,000, which is not big for a metropolis in American Terms and, well, not even in European terms, if compared with Rome, Milano, Paris, London and so forth.
Oddly enough, in a way here I feel a bit like in a metropolis.
Which way is that? Well, I think one of the things I like the most in metropolitan life is the amount of things you can do and this is only possible because when a critical urban mass occurs, the mobility over different things create a very interesting synergy that makes everything more interesting, even better if you have a transportation system that becomes a second nature to walking.
One of the things I like the most in Europe are the trains, the transportation system in general and the relationship of people with them. Why, because every little city has a very good transportation system, in general train, that connects them in an easy way with the places around and, eventually with the whole europe.
In a way, taking the train to Trento, from Levico is not different of using the underground in a big city, apart from the cost and the trip time, but I think that this leads to a somehow metropolitan mentality even on the rural areas, and this is one of the things that makes Europe so great, at least from my point of view.
