Last Bullfight in Catalonia


Approximately 20,000 bullfighting fans turned up for a bullfight in Barcelona on Sunday. This was the last bullfight of the season and likely the last fight that will ever take place in La Monumental arena. A bullfighting ban will take effect on January 1st in Catalonia. After the sixth and final bull was killed, three of Spain’s top matadors were carried out of the arena on the crowd’s shoulders. Many fans were protesting the ban outside the arena, while activis

"I would like to introduce to you a nice, but dangerous tourist site in my area: it's called Adiyanpara. It's a waterfall. Around that area you have to walk carefully as the rocks there are very slippery there. It is about 15 km away from the town. I can never forget this place in my whole life because once I fought for my life in this waterfall. At that time I had college-holidays. We planned to visit the waterfalls. There are many big and small waterfalls at that place. Nature created a kind o

By chance, i found this article somewhere on the net and i found it so interesting that i thought that i would share it with you here. For a few years I protected myself by closing my heart to others and, with time,  i noticed that those to whom i was closing my heart to, were just doing the same to me. So to close our heart to people is not the right.

Here is the article. I hope you will find it intersting.

While you might believe that keeping your heart closed is the
only way to feel safe, ther

 I think I will write about myself - that's a good idea because I can write a lot about my life. I was born in Kerala, in South India, which is close/near to your native country. My village's name is Nilambur. It's a very famous place. It's a nice forest area, full of teak trees. The world's biggest teak tree is situated here in my place. I am the eldest son in my family. My father's family was a big family. He has 6 brothers and 2 sisters. They all lived together in one house/under the same roo

Hello everyone.

I think there's a moment in your life when you question your beliefs and policies. When you question who you are, what you are and many others things. 

In my case, I am a Catholic man. I think it is a personal decision but of course my family has influenced me on that. All my family is Catholic, I was risen by my grandparents and they go to mass every single Sunday, they pray every single day and they are very good people. So, I follow their example; however, when I was a teenage

Amongst all those who have come across me so far ever since i started using my senses and wits, there hasn’t been an even single person who hasn’t evinced directly or indirectly wishes to be powerful. Of course, the field of power is different for different people. A wrestler wants to be powerful in muscular form, a student wants the power of intelligence, an athlete wants cardiovascular power and a politician wants ruling power.

Of course power can be attained by anybody—but there is a requirem

On weekends I usually go to this place... it's a forest near at home... I feel free there and sometimes I find the peace and tranquility that I couldn't find inside me ... 

My journey...

There is a running track of 880 mts, but firstly I walk to the top of this forest I finish running here... 3 turns at least not more than 6 ... its hard :S

the longest road it's the best... ;)

A sight to the sky...

A breath...I like the odor of Eucalyptus' trees...

After 15 minutes we have arrived to....  My sanctu

I wake up early in the morning, to catch my flight 7.10am. The Taxi driver send me sms that he will come 10 minutes late. I replied him that's ok, meanwhile I take a bath. Make a taxi booking in advance is really helpful.

Of course, there's additional charge for the advance booking service, but it's more convenience than stopping taxi on the street.

When you are in love, you lost your mind because it flies wher the other person is. When you are in love, you just think of that person, you just live for him/her, you just want to have fun with them and love them. 

Today, I sing, "Every breath you take" by the police. I love this song because it express how a man can love a woman, how a man can give away his life for the love of his life. I would like to love someone that deep, give away everything for that person. 

I want to love someone with

Hi everyone, as you know I work as a teacher and this is a profession that no many people value as it should be. Today, I have a concern and it is about how parents are managing the relationship with their Children. I am twenty-five years old and my mom and dad have been there always. They have been there for supporting me , for advicing me. If they have to ground me, they do it, it I was sad, they would console me, if my marks at school were great they congratulated me and if I failed they made

Dear My EC friends,

I will go to Jakarta, my home town for a business trip 26 Sept - 30 Sept 2011.

But I have free time after office hour.

Is there any EC friends in Jakarta want to meetup ? maybe we can have a coffee at Plaza Senayan or Senayan City.

Cheers,

Have you ever written a letter to yourself? Last week, on Sep 17th, my university asked me to write a letter to myself. The office of the Registrar would then keep the letter in a box confidentially for four years when I am supposed to finish my program. Then, after graduation, they would give the letter back to me. So, I could write inspirational letter or could mention my goals and dreams. I found this idea very fascinating.

The reason that I love this idea is, in fact, I wrote a contract wit

I am afraid I have been too busy to post much here lately.  Even so, I would like to let everyone know about a good source of English language videos (VOA) that do provide useful information in an easy to follow format. 

If you live in some areas of the world you can receive VOA (Voice of America) broadcasts directly. Voice of America offers English language instruction programs in many countries.  This one is from the Cambodia area.
