    Hi guys ,
    This weekend is a long weekend. Today is Thanksgiving day. Technically , last night was thanksgiving. Well, on Sundays people are typically off. So , the Government do the Monday to give people one extra off day for thanks giving.
    People tend to go binge eating on Thaksgiving eve. So , they need to have Monday off to digest all the food they literally gulp down.
    Man it is all about eating and nothing else.
    It is a change of course for what really thanksgiving about and is supposed to represent.

    Hi everyone

    There is a emigration from Germany on south of my country, they comes to this area with your tradition and we know the south as a place where the Germany tradition is very strong, some places or settlement people just speak in german, traditional build and places looks like city in Germany. If you come to the city of Blumenau – SC ( South ) right now you can enjoy the traditional Oktoberfest ( great traditional party ) and drinking lot of beer

    Nice day to us

    Hi everyone

    I don’t watch tv shows like everyone in this world, I watched when I was young but I changed my mind about what is really important to me and can make difference in my life, so I don’t see nothing on tv shows that can help me. I rather choose on web what I really need to watch, read and learn, like ESL podcast for sure.

    Nice day to us
