I am from Valencia, Spain. I especify Spain because there are around 21 different towns named Valencia all over the world. Of course, we were the first… hahahahaha
As far as I know most cities named Valencia are in South America, the others I really don’t know.
During the next weeks, we are going to celebrate the famous FALLAS (from 15th to 19th march)
Is anybody interested in this amazing festival?
With pleasure I will tell you serveral funny stories about the origen, the celebration and other traditions. Just let me know and I will explain them.

I live in ESSEN in Germany, although I originally came from England. In England I was born, and lived for almost 50 years, in a small town called Hartlepool, which is on the North-East coast of England. It was a small town, known for its making fishing industry. It had a wonderful community spirit about it, but over the years the town has grown and the people have moved further from the original centre into newer, more modern houses. The first houses were more better described as cottages, without bathrooms, and with an outside toilet, and with two or three children sharing the same bed. No comforts in those days. Every child walked to school with his neighbourhood friends. Parents never had to go to the school with them, because the children were always in the company of others.How things have changed, but have they changed for the better ? That is a good question.
Nice to meet you here, my friends. My name is Sun Zhe. (And my English name is Cinderella.) I am from China. I want to speak fluent English and familiarize myself with the rules of English grammar.

By the way I`m Romanian,but my nationality is Hungarian.
In Hungary there is Spring in this time of the year.
After two months we will move back to Hungary so than I will live there.
Take care,
Marica

I’m from Thailand. I live in Bangkok. It’s capital. Thailand is land of smile because Thai population like to smile. Most population are Buddhists. The traditional Thai greeting, the wai , is generally offered first by the youngest of the two people meeting with their hands together, fingertips pointing upwards as the head is bowed to touch their face to the hands , usually coinciding with the spoken word
“Sawat-dii khrap” for male speakers, and “Sawat-dii ka” for females.The elder then is to respond afterwards in the same way.
Do you know “Muay Thai” or Thai boxing? Muay Thai is the national sport in Thailand. Muay Thai achieved popularity all over the world. Muay Thai has received with its full-contact rules allowing strikes including elbows , throws and knees.
The staple food in Thailand is rice , which is included in almost every meal. Thai cuisine blends five fundamental taste : sweet , spicy , sour , bitter and salty. Some common ingredients used in Thai cuisine include garlic , chillies , lime juice , lemon grass and fish sauce.
I hope you know Thailand more.
Thank you
