Hang Out and Post

[Divya Bean]

Yeah. I meet a lot of transfer students and right now we have a kid named Francesco living in our house! He is Italian. He 13, but he has the baby cute look. :)

[Spritzie]

I learned a bit about the Russian culture, because I had a pen pal in Russia for a few years. my sister had a pen pal in Japan. That was always cool.

 

Plus my husband is very into the culture of Japan. So I'm learning about that... I might even learn Japanese with him. (He started learning it a while back.)

 

Personally, my favorite culture is the Egyptian culture. I used to have a couple friends there. They would get tired of me asking so many questions, so they'd just sent me pictures. :laughingsmiley: I actually named my kitten Cairo.

I have never had any pen pals. I can imagine, it must be great.

You are gonna learn Japanese?! That's so cool! Tell me a few words when you do so. I am going to brag in front of my friends that I know Japanese. lol

You are great, really. All my Tarla 'finds' are because of you.

I chose items and I got a Faerieland Sunsets book. I am going to read it to my pet. ^_^

I learned to say hello in Korean when I was little, because of Korean family I spent a lot of time with. I miss them. I tried learning Spanish, and failed. I'm a visual learner. That's why I did so well when I started teaching myself American Sign Language.

 

Japanese is a pretty language. We watch anime, in Japanese, with English subtitles. It sounds very cool. Where as German... not the most romantic language. (I'm German... always thought it would be cool to learn it.)

[Divya Bean]

I am sooo proud of myself. I shouldnt take the credit. I am surfing the Neoboards right now. God, they are soo annoying! Soooo many stupid/pointless/repeat/random posts! Grrr!

[Anisha]

The only foreign language I know is English. Though it's not that foreign language in India anymore. It has become as important as our other national languages.

 

I know some Indian ones like Hindi, Marathi, Oriya, Bengali, Sanskrit and much more. But in case of international languages, I am a big loser. :laughingsmiley:

I know, the Neoboard is super annoying. All those chat speak and double or triple posting makes my head spin.

[Divya Bean]

I obviously know English, I am conversational in Hindi, Spanish, and Latin even though it isnt spoken anymore. :graduated:

[Spritzie]

I do know, first hand, English is bigger in India now. With my job, there's another half of it, we do the hands on stuff. The other half is monitored by a team in India. I talk to them here and there on an office messenger program.

 

Divy: Over-achiever. :laughingsmiley: I used to know a guy that annoyed me like crazy. He claimed he was more mature than me. (He was 12, I was 17. Seriously? a 12 yr old MALE being more mature than a 17 yr old female? unlikely :laughingsmiley: )

 

But he knew fluently: Spanish (His family was from Central America.) English, Portugese, Russian, American Sign Language, French, and something else. BLEH. :laughingsmiley:

 

I need to do visual. I learn better seeing than hearing.

[Divya Bean]

Nice! I want to have a job where I get to travel because I love to travel and visit other countries.

[Anisha]

I have seen many British in India too. They kind of look cool to me.

But India can sometimes be real boredom. There's nothing much special over here. Only the high monuments and all those rich Indian cultures.

Boys are always like that. Bragging and showing how smart they are. There are bunch of such boys in our class. And believe me, they act as if they are 10 years older that me.

[Spritzie]

We're going to be rich one day, and travel like crazy. Top of our lists: Germany (I'm German) Switzerland (The other large portion of my heritage, Swiss) Ireland (He's Irish), Egypt, France (Paris... shopping) Japan, lots of other places. I want to see so much.

[Divya Bean]

India is NOT boring! If you travel and shop and stuff it is sooo fun and cool! I guess you could get bored of it...but still! Where I live there are a lot of historical stuff to do like Indepence Hall and all of that crap that I have been to multiple times! <_<

[Spritzie]

I want to see stuff like that. I'd love to go to India. (And we will.) Oh... and totally Russia. I want to see those buildings.

[Divya Bean]

Russia's buildings look so nice! I saw one in a picture that looked like an adorable candy house! :laughingsmiley:

[Anisha]

I want to travel too. I want to go around the world in 80 days. lol. Kidding.

 

Some places I am dying to visit are Tokyo, New York, Hong Kong, Paris (My fav!), Egypt (Pyramids!) and lots more. I just wish I could go there.

And when you come to India, make sure you visit Goa. :laughingsmiley:

[Divya Bean]

I have been to sooo many places it is hard to keep track of! Of the places you mentioned Anisha, I have been to Paris (multiple times) and Egypt.

Wow Divya! You are lucky, seriously. I never went out of India.

But I have seen all the places in India. Except for some like Assam and stuffs. And not to forget our School Study Tour each year. They always take us somewhere out of Goa. It's always fun. As I have all my friends surrounded. :)

[Spritzie]

I've only been out of the US twice. (The Bahamas, and Mexico) And inside the US, I've been to roughly 12 states, including Alaska. I don't travel much at all.

[Divya Bean]

You name it, I have been there (almost all places except for, you know, places you wouldnt go.) :laughingsmiley:

[Spritzie]

I want to travel so bad. But I just never get the chance. My favorites so far: Alaska (Anchorage. I was ready to move there and open a law firm. until it got cold here.) Las Vegas, NV. But that's a good vacation only. Spend a few days, walk the strip, take lots of pics. And of course, Disney World... that needs no explanation.

Mexico? I love Mexico. It's wonderful.

 

In India, I have been to Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Punjab, Orissa, Jammu and Kashmir, Gujarat, Kerala (my fav!), Karnataka, Tripura, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Andaman and Nicobar Islands (Amazing place!), Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Delhi, Maharashtra, Meghalaya, Sikkim and much more I can hardly remember. :)

[CAV of Gang Green]

I don't travel much, the farthest I've ever gone from NY is Canada to visit family. I like Canada, and I hate the sterotypes that surround it. I've also been to Philidelphia and New Jersey.

 

Old topics I felt to bring up cause I wasn't attentive when they were here: I'm 13, turning 14 in October 3.

 

I'm also 5'7. If anyone has questions about me, feel free to bring them up. :)

[Anisha]

5'7 at the age of 13? Wow! You really are tall.

I am 5'4 and I am 15. I would look like a kid in front of you, lol. :laughingsmiley:
