Let's go to..(Pixgame)

[EmpanadaRica]

Ok time for another game.

How about we make an abc, but topical. I.e. the person starting the new sequence has to think of a destination we are going to, or an activity we will be doing. For instance they might say:

-We're going to the movies and we're going to see..
American Beauty !! --> posting a pic of the movie 'American beauty':



The next person might say:
' I'll come along also, and I would like to see 'Bridget Jones's Diary' --> with a pic.




The third person might say: Oh I want to see Chocolat..!! --> pix..




And so on.. the last person in the row or the first in the new (i..e. at 'z' or 'a' ) must think of a new category/ activity/ destination.

E.g. summerholidays to countries or worldcities, to the supermarket, into space, to go starhunting/red carpet hunting in Hollywood as paparazzi etc etc..

You can use either English or Spanish words, whichever you like to practise.

I'll start the first chain..

Quiero ir en viaje a grandes ciudades del mundo.. Quisiera ver Athena en Grecia!!





¿Quién sigue? Who's next?

Atenas. θ en griego siempre se convierte en t en español.

Ah por supuesto si.. gracias.. ¡me olvidé! Force of habit..
(¿Cómo se dice en español?)

Me encantaría mucho ver Cairo y las pirámides de Gizeh, no tan lejos de allí La ambiente misteriosa es algo muy interesante y única - ¡me intriga!

(PD..algo único o única..? 'algo' es masculino pero 'la ambiente' es una palabra femenina? )

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

Me gustaría visitar Dresde, en Alemania.

@Empanada: la capital de Grecia es Atenas... y "ambiente" es masculino: "el ambiente misterioso..."

...oh, and just for reasons of style: "me encanta mucho" doesn't sound good. "Encantar" already gives an idea of "quite a lot", so you must say either "me encanta" or "me gusta mucho".

This is Denmark.

Interesante que se escribe 'Dresde' sin n en español.

@"ambiente" es masculino: "el ambiente misterioso..."

Ah yes.. hmm estoy muy despistada esta tarde/ noche.. Pensé en 'la atmósfera' primero, después me di cuenta que tuve que utilizar 'ambiente' en lugar de eso y me equivoqué del género..

...oh, and just for reasons of style: "me encanta mucho" doesn't sound good. "Encantar" already gives an idea of "quite a lot", so you must say either "me encanta" or "me gusta mucho".

Ok thanx!

Me gustaría mucho () ver Edinburgh, una ciudad muy vieja (antigua?) que tiene mucho ambiente.. Se dice que hay muchas casas embrujadas allí

Frisco, Texas

Traéis chaqueta porque ya vamos a Geneva Suiza, me asombra

Es como si yo estuviera con los ángeles

Attention, Bob & Empanada: Names of main cities in many countries must be spelled correctly if you write in Spanish: Edimburgo y Ginebra.

Este cerro se encuentra en México, en el Estado de Hidalgo.

[bmarquis124]

I would like to go to flight school....



or maybe Florida.

[bmarquis124]

Oops sorry guys...I did this wrong didn't I

So, staying on topic, here's Florence, Italy.

[ookami]

EDIT: sorry, I didn't realize it was in alfabeth order.

Ginebra, donde Borges, invisible, quizo morir y murió. Sería lindo visitarla.

I really want to visit:
Okinawa, one of the most knowed province of Japan, is a collection of isles.





And Kyoto:

Tienes razón por supuesto Lo siento no siempre sé el nombre correcto en español pero voy a intentarlo

Entonces creo que estamos a la I? (me gustan tus fotos bmarquis, pero la 'f' ya ha pasado. )

I would like to see Istanbul (Turkey) once.. (Estambul?).. The Aya Sofia, the Bosphorus.. supposedly a magical city on the cusp of the orient.. ..

[EmpanadaRica]

Ehh sorry guys .. perhaps the explanation I gave wasn't clear enough?

This is supposed to be a game with an ABC- order, with changing themes/ topics..

So it would be 'going to' 1 theme (ABC), next theme (ABC).

For instance: Let's go to the movies
Person 1 starts with a movie starting with an A,
Person two posts a picture of a movie starting with a B etc

After the Z the theme/ subject can change, we go to another place (e.g. the supermarket etc) and again do an ABC.

By the way Ookami, great photo's !!

FIY we are now on a worldcity you'd like to go to, starting with a 'J'.

Don't worry it was getting a little confusing in this topic

Anyway, I love Florence!!! Great pic too!

@Empanada: There will still be a place for "I"... Turkey's capital is "Estambul" in Spanish.

Toda la gente que conozco quiere ir a la India.

Yes that's why I wrote it in English.. I did say you can write in either English or Spanish at the beginning of this topic.. So I think Istanbul is valid..


I would love to see Jakarta (Indonesia) one day!
