Spot the difference

I'm back to Italy for Christmas holidays. Short after my arrival, some billboards made me want to come back to Holland.

Between these two deranged, ego-maniac political leaders there are few, negligible differences. Spot them and...hey, are there any differences?

Apart from that, I'm enjoying my holidays a lot, much more than I expected. In the 24 hours before leaving, I was thinking "Alas, my holiday in Amsterdam is over...", and actually I was not so enthusiast about coming back. But actually, I'm eating a lot of good food (everything is better than Dutch food) and seeing a lots of friends (I'm not a social people, but strangely enough there are friends who are happy to spend some time with me. Or at least not so unhappy).

Dream

I had a dream. I was in a different world. It was very similar to the one I was used to: there were houses, streets, cars, signs, traffic lights. But when people opened their mouths, they did not speak: rather, they made strange noises, as if listening to an out-of-tune radio. And I was unable to understand what people said to each other, and to me. And I was unable to speak to them, and communicate with them.

Then I realised it was reality.
