To meet or not to meet?

Ramona's post on Penpals has inspired me to add up a few lines over here. It's a question that has been bothering me.

 

Well, we all know how cool it is to make friends on the net. We can chat either on chatrooms or in Skype, get to know people a little bit by their photos and also by their profile online. It's a friendship, yet it's virtual.

 

But let's face it - how about the real world? What if we had a chance to meet someone outside the computer screen? Would we trust the person enough for a get

Bahariya Oasis

2346118429?profile=originalI want to relate about my last trip to Egypt and about the National Park White Desert. It's one of the more interesting places in the whole world. There are white rocks somewhere covered the sand.
Our trip starts in Bahariya Oasis - little town 360 km (or 4 hours) away from Cairo, where 10 years ago were found "golden mummies". This mummies are in local museum now. But you have to visit one place more. There are two real old egyptian tomb nearby! You can come down and see funeral room and very un

The Legend of Paul Banyan

January 19th 2011
Wednesday

The first week after his birth, on a lumber wagon as a bed, Paul Bunyan takes a nap. But, he suddenly rolls and destroys four square miles of a significant timberland. His parents are at their wits end. Not to cause more difficulty, his parents start building a raft and put it on the coast of Maine. Every movement creates a 75 feet tidal wave. Thousands of British sailors are needed and it takes seven hours straight to wake him up. Again, while he tries to stand up, f

Advice for students of English in their teens:

Not necessarily in this order!

  1. Don't be shy: most of Brazilian students are very shy in the classroom when learning English, and feel insecure because can make mistakes. Be sure that even teachers make mistakes. So, just relax and let's talk!
  2. Read and write in English: try to read and write as much as possible in English. E-mails, invitations, news, story books, novels... if you try, you're gonna have good results.2346118930?profile=original

Welcome to always green sunny Florida!

2346119060?profile=original

I usually spend my Christmas holidays in Florida, the USA, and this year was not an exception. America is very beautiful and its landscapes are so different: from high mountains covered with the snow and fathomless canyons to very inordinary deserts with so called "table mountains", green plains, tropical zone, golden beaches. Anyway, I like Florida best of all as well as many Americans. It is the place where you can have a good rest enjoing year round warms, blue sea, great beaches and wildlife

Ski!!!

2346113114?profile=originalI'm planing my future leisure. Usually I don't apply to the tour operator for the tour package. It's a very exciting process to look for an plane ticket, to choose and to book a hotel and develop a programm of the trip. I like reading information about countries and transport, and then find the best way by myself.
This time I would like to go skiing in Austria. I was in Salzburg, Innsbruck and Vienna, but I have never gone ski in this country. I hope, it will be great! Anyway there are the highes

I'm not a superwoman

Salaam alaikom everybody

I wish you are all doing great.

I don't know why sometimes I have to act like a superwoman while I really can't. people expect so much from you regradless to your condition whether you're tired or exhausted they really don't care they expect you to be always active and I'm talking about my job it makes me really stressed.

 

Trying to please all the people around is really an exhausting matter and it's really hard for me to keep smiling while I'm really angry. For instance my

My favorite drink

2346112987?profile=originalI don't like tea! It's strange, because tea (not coffee) is very popular in my country and tea-parties are the part of our culture. "He didn't give a cup of tea", this sentence was talked by old moscowites about a bad inhospitable man.
Do you think, I have never taste a good tea? Do you know, what kind of tea I have ever drunk? I try the best teas from Chine and Sri-Lanka, but I really don't understand a flavour of boiled bush and why the people enjoy it. And finally I had a courage saying myself
