My Blog - introduction of my self - about my city advantageous and disadvantageous.

the liking and disliking of my city?

.Welcome Mohammad. I hope you continue to post here.

Kerala sounds like an interesting place to live, like everywhere with its good and bad parts. My city, much younger because it is American, is relatively small and mostly clean and pretty. We have a major university here, and the state government is here, both are downtown, so it's busy day and night. But nothing like New York.

We have four large lakes in the city, and they can be beautiful, but they also are not as clean as they should be. Years ago people swam in them regularly, now they are a bit weedy. But still okay, people like to sit by them, boat in them, fish in them -- and every year we have an Ironman event, in which people swim across one of them. Our sky is still clear, and pollution is low.

Your description of Kerala reminds me of Kabul Afghanistan many years ago, before Russians and revolution tore it apart. I remember beautiful old architecture, fascinating places, busy people of all sorts, and a mountain in the center of the city. I climbed it a couple times (easy to do) and looked out at the view. I wandered into and out of bazaars and other places, without fear or concern. I'm glad I was there and glad I left in time.

I sense that English is not your first language, so you are to be commended in coming to this site. It's a great place to practice and to learn the idioms, etc. In English we wouldn't say "the liking and disliking" but something like "the good and the bad," or "things to like and dislike." English is my wife's second language, and I sometimes marvel at how well she speaks American English now.

But I can only imagine how my writing would sound in Farsi, even though I spent three years studying it many years ago.

Again, welcome.

Better welcome than I got. Maybe I should've pretended English was my second language.

You sound like The Donald.

Quack quack.
