A world without cars A world without cars. In today's society the use of oil is basic to maintain the style of industrialized life and constant consumption which we live. It would seem impossible to imagine a next future without refueling gasoline and forming huge traffic jams in cities or emit lots of pollution that make worse the lives of citizens What is the alternative to this reality? In my opinion the alternative is the promotion of public transport and making easily the use of non-polluting means of transportation: electric or solar cars, bicycle use in cities prepared to walk with large areas closed to traffic. Promote "clean" industry as opposed to fossil fuels, install numerous electric charging points and provide financial assistance for the replacement of polluting equipment by other equipment greener. We can´t think in a nearly future without cars, but we can try to have a less aggressive cities to people, with a bluer sky …and natural clouds and not formed by pollution.

Danger on the sands Danger on the sands It was Spring of 2006 and I would like to enjoy an amazing trip to Egypt, the land of the pyramids and the pharaohs; I wanted to feel the wind from the dessert on my face and to hear old songs around fire …in short I wanted to experience the Arabian Nights with a bit of modern luxury. When I landed in El Cairo forty degrees and a small bus are waiting for me, the hotel it was fine, modern and the staff it was very friendly. The first smile that I showed was with the air conditioned in my room. Next day we went to visit the Gizeh Valley to enjoy the big pyramids. It was an amazing show, you can feel the effort of millions people working to build those amazing constructions. Although I enjoyed a lot my visit there…I am still remember my guide telling us all the time: watch out the snakes, danger with the water drink only bottled water, beware the sun without sun protection cream… I waited for a dangerous and mysterious trip and I had a trip full of advices. Anyway it was an great trip and I still have a little scarf from a little snake.

...very different timetable. I like this website because it let me meet people all around the world and improve my English while I help other people with their Spanish..but I am from Spain and the most of people I met here are from USA or works in Great Britain, so ...our timetables are very different . I have always two or three chances to connect in my evening or in my late afternoon, but almost none to connect in my morning...I hope change this handicap soon. Greetings to everybody and thanks for the corrections.

The story of my life...maybe (2) The business was a disaster and I left it, later than that I started to work as seller books door to door but...I didn’t sell enough books and I didn’t earn some money. After that I started working in the Highway, charging tolls for cars. It was a very boring job, but I earned good money with it. Maybe it was a job bit stressed but helped me to pay the mortgage. The job was eventual and I began to study for pass an opposition. I pass partially my exam and I had some contracts with the Administration and I opened a business with a associate to help people to find a job in the Administration and giving children classes too. I taught Spanish Grammar, Spelling and Math. But the economic crisis made the jobs with the State were decreasing and people stopped to go to our business. So..I had close it. It was a sad and difficult time because we saw how our effort not served. I also worked as private teacher for children and even as waiter occasionally…Now Im very happy studying English again because my father, who was a great man, always said to me: My son, with the English you could travel around the world and I really wanted to travel to any Caribbean Island.

The story of my life...maybe. Hi, Im Ramiro Ruibal. I was born in a little town called La Estrada when I was very little. Im the younger of five, three boys and two girls. I grew in Cambados, a small village crowded of sailors where my father worked as professor. In those days Cambados was a dangerous place because lots of people worked with illegal tobaccos and the shots and persecutions were frecuent so most of my classmates went to jail for a long time. In Cambados I studied my Primary School and Secondary School, It was a funny time for me..a bit crazy but really funny. Later a motorbike accident made me stop my early university studies. When I felt better and my health was good again I started to work in a fish ship as fisherman. I wanted earn some money and I want feel more freedom in my life. It was a hard job but very nice and with very good colleagues. I spent almost two years working in the boat but then I had to go to Pontevedra to do compulsory military service and with that nice job I wasted one year of my life. When I finished my service with the army I found a job as seller in a marine shop. The owner was very rude but he was a fanatic to the motorbikes, the vintage motorbikes and I could sometimes help him with that work. My next job was in a Hospital, in the Admision Service. I worked in the Hospital for eight years; I could feel great times but also very sad times. But I didn't earn enough money...so I left my job again because I met a rich woman who wanted open a Real State and she wanted I was her manager.
