Hello,
I've started my lot a week ago, and I've noticed there are a lot of nationalities here. I always like to learn about different countries and cultures, so I think this is a good way to get in contact with people from all over the world!
I'm from the Netherlands, and I live in a little place near the city of Rotterdam. I like to travel and have been to quite some places around the world now. One of the best things about travelling is meeting people from all over the world. So mylotters: let me know where you're from!

Hi mienkoos. I'm from Brazil. It is a big country in South America with a mixed people. We have people from many places in the world so it makes our culture very rich. We have beautiful places and beautiful beachs. And we have the Amazonas forest too.
Nice to meet someone from the land of tulips LOL.

Hi Teka!
It's also nice to get a reaction from someone from Brazil! It must be beautiful in Brazil. We've been to Australia last august and the amazona forest there was amazing. Do you think you can compare you're forest to the Australian rainforests? In Holland we don't have forests like that. It's a little country, with a lot of people, so we have a lot of houses, LOL!
But we also have a lot of bikes, and some beach. But the weather here is not very good at the moment, so I wouldn't recommend to go to the beach here now.
What kind of nature do you have in Brazil? And how is the climate there? It's very good to have a lot of cultures there. Here in Holland there's sometimes a lot of resistence against people from abroad immigrating to Holland, but I think it enriches the dominant culture. What kind of cultures are present in Brazil?

Australia doesn't have Amazonas forest because it is the name of the forest here. It is a tropical forest so big that it belongs to Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela, Guiana and some more but the more big part belongs to Brazil. We have different climates because our country is very big. We have in some regions a very hot climate like Saara. Anothers regions have tropical climate and in the regions of south we have cold climate. Our country have people from China, Japan, German, Holland, Portugal, Espanha, Italia and somethings from England and French. All those cultures give something to us so our culture is so rich. But our traditional culture is from Portugal and the black people from Africa. We are the bigest country in South America. Our people is cheerful and hospitable, love music, love to dance and to sing. We receive all people from all the world with open arms and open heart.
