Activities
Hello Everyone
Hello everyone,
Today I woke up at 7:00am and got up at 8:00am. After that I took a shower and had breakfast with coffee and a croissant.
At 9:00am I turned on my computer and worked on my project. I'd like to create a social network. At 12:00pm I went to my mother's house for lunch where we had a barbecue and drank red wine. After lunch I drank coffee and ate ice cream. In the afternoon I watched tv and cleaned my house.
In the evening I went to the Old Wild West with my friend and ate a sandwich called a Dacota with french fries.
Now I am at home writing about it!
See you soon.

- Le printemps Le printemps est arrivé ! Il faisait beau depuis quelques jours. En Angleterre tout le monde a été dehors dans le jardin, soit faire le jardinage, soit pour se détendre. Moi-même, je coupe la pelouse et range le jardin. Ma femme elle a peint l’abri de jardin avec le couleur bleu. Je pense qu’on doit profiter maintenant, parce que bientôt la météo pourrait changer.April 24, 201820
The challenge that I am going to face for the next 30 days is to have a healthier lifestyle.
I have chosen this challenge because in my view it is really important to take care of your body and mind. Everybody says that when you eat well and you do some sport, you feel much better, so I have nothing to lose by trying it.
Some years ago, I did try to go to the gym, but I only got to go to yoga. It was funny and relaxing and it is true that I felt better after going to the class. But I had to look after my diet too and I didn’t get it... Once I read that it is difficult to have a balanced diet because fast food is tasty and cheap and I completely agree.
So, this time I am going to go to the gym, but, with some friends. That way, we’ll be able to encourage each other. We are going to do a schedule to organize our week so that going to the gym will be easier. And, also, we are looking for different web pages to find healthier recipes.
I am sure in a month I will feel so much better, that I’ll keep doing it. It is going to be an adrenaline rush, so, because of my work, I will feel less stressed than nowadays, and I’ll sleep like a log. And, obviously I’ll be fit, which is amazing.0 votedApril 17, 20182- Une lettre courte Chers Amies Merci beaucoup pour votre email. Nous esperons que vous allez bien.

A life with a maximum of five names.
Can you imagine living a life that requires you to continually change your name to that of your youngest offspring? This is one of the unique naming systems from some of the original inhabitants of Taiwan.In this ethnic naming culture, one man will have to continually change his name up to a maximum of five times. They don't have family names(also called the last name.) One can only have his own unique name before he has a child. After the birth of his first child, he will have to name him or her and at the same time change his or her own name to the child’s name. Also, putting an additional appellation regarding to his relationship with the new born child. For example, if a young man called Jake one day has a child named Tom, then Jake will have to change his name to “Father Tom." Jake’s father, who originally was called “Father Jake” will have to change his name into “GrandFather Tom”. It’s obvious that the whole society places great emphasis on the new born child. In other words, the inheritance of a new generation. Do you think it’s cool? Will you be able to fit yourself into this society where emphasis is placed on being someone's parent or grandparent for your whole life?

Elle aime son œuf de Pâques et l’a mangé tres vite. Aussi, elle aime nous aider avec les tâches, par example, la lessive ou mettre la table. On a marché près de la mer un jour mais c’était tres froid. Ma petite-fille a trouve des pierres sur la plage.April 3, 201820
German foods
What do you think about German food?
When I visit other countries, I am always interested in three things:
- the people and their national culture;
- architecture;
- food.
When I worked in Germany, I tried new German dishes every day.
German food is delicious and hearty. It includes a lot of meat, vegetables and bread.
Breakfast usually consists of bread or toast with fruit jam or honey, eggs, ham or salted meats, cheeses and strong coffee or tea. Children drinks milk, juice or cocoa.
A typical lunch consists of various soups, side dishes, meat and vegetables. For example, the most popular dishes are: potato salad with sausage or meat balls, schnitzel with grilled vegetables, sausages, pork and chicken, fish sticks and croquettes.Vegetables are also popular, especially cabbage, green beans, peas and carrots.
Usually dinner is the smallest meal. It consists of whole grain bread, cheeses, deli meats and sausages with fresh vegetables(as pickles). Many peoples drink beer or wine.
The selection of desserts in Germany is also great. In many bakeries you can buy traditional pretzels, rolls, gingerbread, pies and cakes. There are a lot of different kinds of chocolate and sweets.
I think that unfortunately this food is not good for me, because usually it is fatty and so not good for the health and a slim body.
But I like German food, especially sweets and chocolates.0 votedMarch 28, 20182
