    Hi Laura
    I have told several people I know about Sinterclaas and Zwarte Piet. Everybody I told seemed
    really amazed. As you may know burning cork and performing in black face was a very popular
    form of entertainment in the United States that faded in the 1930's and became and remains strictly taboo in the 1960's because it is seen a disrespectful to people of African descent. However, people I know from Latin America say such practice is common in their country and is not seen at all derogatory. At carneval time it is common for lots if people including Afro-latinos to darken up more. I find it truly interesting how what's considered a no-no in one country is absoultely OK in others--even in cultures that share a long common history.
    It was fun reading and informative.
    Thank you

    Hola gambita. No sé si podré estar el viernes. Se ha muerto un familiar cercano y no sé si me van a necesitar para algo. No puedo comprometerme ahora.
    ¿Llueve por allí? Aquí está un poco nublado, pero no llueve, de momento... Ha bajado la temperatura, eso sí.
    Cuídate mucho, gambita. Besitos

    Hi Laura,
    Have you been to Brussels? I know it's not too far from Amsterdam, It's a capital of Europe that I don't have a clear image of.
    Thanks,
    David

    Hola, gambita. No voy a estar mucho por aquí. Tengo mucho que estudiar y estoy perdiendo mucho el tiempo entre una cosa y otra. Tengo los primeros exámenes en enero y ya casi estamos en diciembre. Tengo que encerrarme un poco y preparar cosas, si no lo tengo mal
    Un besito, guapa.

    Hola Empanada.
    Tengo bastante trabajo porque se acerca el fin de año, por lo que no puedo estar en los foros tanto como quisiera. Pero me ha agradado mucho tu vuelta

    Hola, gambita. ¡Tú por aquí! Te he visto el botón verde . Ya te pasaré mi dirección, pero ¿no es un poco pronto para plantarlos ahora? Aquí también hace frío en invierno, igual se me hielan. ¿No será mejor en primavera o a finales del invierno?

    Hello there - thanks for the kind remarks. I am afraid I am rather conservative as far as development of language is concerned, so not everyone agrees with me. I have always been interested in etymology and the connections between Indo-European languages, so I tend to bore people with it. I have a very poor memory, and find that if I know where a word comes from, I remember it. Not everyone needs that, though.
