Speaking of India, what ever happened to Sindhu? Havn't seen her in ages.
Alberta Canada, With a brief stop over in British Columbia, and then back to Alberta. Though I would love to live in Hawaii!:cool:
Hello! I'm from Mexico. One of the most important mexican writers is Octavio Paz, famous for his poems and essays.

a Chinese, do you know something about China?
yeah! where's Sindhu?
Hello George! Welcome to the forums! grab a seat, fresh popcorn is on it's way :p
hmmm mine must have got lost in the mail....
terring_yu, forgive me if I'm way off the mark here, when I think of China, I picture rice fields with people cultivating them, wearing those wonderful big hats. What are they called? And I think of Tibetan Monks. I know there is more to it than that. Please share what ever you like about your culture. Every culture is unique, and our differences are what make the world an interesting place.
The only thing I wanna mention about China here and now is--Just like any other nations and countires on the Planet-She is the Greatest
(hey looks like the canadians are taking over....:D).
Now the info is a bit redundant for the old faces, but for the joy of those who came after I moved that info out of my profile, I let you all know that I'm from the north-east of Italy (but I have a grandfather from south :D), precisely Verona (is Shakespeare echoing in your mind? Thought so...), incredibly beautiful city which I love so much... can't say the same about the rest though, as I often don't fit well with my country's medieval mentality and wish to runaway as soon as I can.
Oh, and I was back yesterday from a week's holiday to Prague, Czech Republic :D (had to show this off somewhere :D)
Oh Koa I'm so jealous, I love Prague! It's such a beautiful city. Heh heh, and you were there before tourist season, good thing. Mala Strana is my favourite quarter. Did you see the place where Franz Kafka used to live?
Eheeh well it was full of tourists anyway, especially Italian schooltrips... I'm still a bit confused about what I saw (visited it all in little more than 3 days, walked so much that it seemed like a tour around the world...and add to this that I have no sense of direction...:D), but I did see some Kafka places (he lived in different places in the city)...I guess you mean the little blue one in the 'golden lane' or whatever it was called? Anyway, I think the thing I liked most was Vaclav Namesti, I mean the central 'square' or rather way, where there's the museum up there...It was lovely at night! Though speaking of cities I must admit I think I liked Budapest a little more... hey are we hijacking the thread? Oops...
I don't believe that you can really see the Great Wall from space. sure its hundreds of miles long, but its only a few meters wide, and its the same color (roughly) as the surrounding terrain.Quote:

What shall i say? The only i want to say is that you'd better look into something before you come to a conclusion instead of only by your imagination or some information by others who don't really know it.
The great wall's a great big pain in the ***! I climbed it twice, and my legs were sore for days. I love Beijing, it's a beautiful city, terring. a bit polluted. BEST PEKING DUCK IN THE WORLD. *drooollling* honestly, I'd kill for that peking duck. *drooling again* worst thing about china is the public toilets they have in the country, best thing is the food.
