I especially like the beaches where there are not many people.

The view from the Botanical Gardens to the city centre and harbour is amazing. The Botanical Gard

Half of this piece was written during the earlier part of 2012. When I received the news that my father was dying, I decided to finish it before his passing. He left this planet on October 22 2012. This one is dedicated to him. The writing was very hard for me to even think of posting here. But, it's time for me to move on from the grief and begin living again. My next blog that's posted will be much more humorous.

A note from the author: I composed this about four months ago. Some of my English Club friends have seen it already. It's a symbolic writing and is still unedited. For the serious learners and people that I haven't had the pleasure of meeting yet; Please just read "deeply" and know that English has many levels of comprehension.

This truth was shown rather clearly during one of competitions at the Seattle Olympics; there were nine mentally disabled contestants. All of them stood on the start line for racing hundred meters running. The race began by a shouting of pistol.

The smile

They say that the smile is the language that each nation understand. Certainly, if you smile to any one from your own country or Brazil, Spain, Indonesia or even the farthest point in the world, he will definitely understand that you are delighted or satisfied with what you have.
