Countries which we love .Los paises que amamos

All of us had travelled to different countries in real or in dreams, here, I hope you all join me in this thread to express about the countries we might have enjoyed and loved.
Voy a tratar de explicar mi juego a todo el mundo aquí, en español cheese.
Jugábamos este juego cuando éramos niños. Preferiría que escriban los nombres de los países en inglés porque creo que la mayoría de los nombres de los países en español termina con la letra ''A''.

El juego es fácil. Tienen que empezar por escoger el nombre de un país.

Por ejemplo: ''England".

Voy a poner una foto de algo famoso de Inglaterra y escribir una frase para describir esa cosa en inglés y español. Después de este, escriban otro nombre de un país pero empiecen con la última letra de la palabra: ''England,'' cual es ''D''. Por ejemplo: ‘’Denmark‘’ y escriban una frase con esta letra.

La siguiente debería escribir otro nombre de un país. Empiecen con la última letra de ‘’Denmark’’ cual es K y sigan así''.

Now I am going to explain my game to everyone here, in English.

We used to play this game when we were children. I would prefer you to write the names of the countries in English because I think that the majority of names of countries in Spanish end in the letter ''A''.

The game is easy. You must begin by choosing the name of a country. For example: ''England''.

I am going to post a photo of something famous from England and write a sentence to describe that thing in English and Spanish. After this, write another name of a country but begin with the last letter of the word, ''England'', which is ''D''. For example: Denmark and write a sentence with this letter.

The following person should write another name of a country. Begin with the last letter of ''Denmark'' which is K and continue like this (in this way).

Our friend Feliz77 has agreed to help me and to be the moderator of the game. Thanks Feliz77 Gracias Felizsmile.

I will start with:

Brazil.

Brazilian people love to dance "Samba .

A los brasileños les encanta bailar la "Samba".

Mathslover, have you tried mate? I'm dying to know what it tastes like!! - territurtle, Jan 20, 2012
Gosh. I wish I could describe it in words! It tastes like tea, but has a tinge of dried grass or herb, and its very strong because pretty much its lots of leaves and little water. - mathslover, Jan 21, 2012
