1._My name is Cristian Camilo Ayala Saavedra, I am 31 years old, I am from Madrid -
Spain, and in the time that I have been in this beautiful city as New York is, I am
trying to learn the new language, although it has been a bit complicated little to little
I have been achieving.
B. Please, write three touristic places from your hometown and three form the

current city with a little description and some comparision between them.

1.
PUERTA DEL SOL: it is one of the most important squares in Madrid.
PLAZA MAYOR: it is a very wide square, it was rebuilt and renovated on several
occasions.
LAS FOUR TOWERS: these represent the most modern and futuristic part of
Madrid.
CENTRAL PARK: this park is the green lung of Manhattan and is huge and full of
lakes.
BROADWAY: musicals are its star show, it is the longest and most famous street.
STATUE OF LIBERTY: it is one of the best-known monuments in the world and the
most famous in NEW YORK.

Both states are beautiful, in my country we find some very beautiful parks and
sculptures where every day I remember walking near them, but in NEW YORK the
places are fantastic and unique, it is something new that I am learning about, what I
am more interested in knowing more about this beautiful paradise and what I can
find in this adventure.

1. The gastronomy of Madrid is the set of traditional dishes of the Spanish

capital, it is originally from the culinary customs of La Mancha with the influence
of ingredients from the kitchen.

The best known worldwide among Spanish folk traditions are certainly Flamenco
and Toros. Bullfights will actually be found throughout the country, the most
popular and well-known shows being the running of the bulls held during the
Sanfermines in Pamplona internationally. But bullfights are a plot that will
appear in Spain at any Fiesta.

BE THE MILK
Here's a phrase that can be both positive and negative. This phrase so Spanish, so
Madrid, means that something is great, surprising (positive meaning) or that
something is disgusting, bad, bad luck, etc. (negative meaning).
OKAY
Here is another expression used particularly in Madrid Spanish. You say "OK"
when you want to say OK. It is an essential part of Madrid's "slang".

COOL!
You will use this expression when you want to say that something is nice, clean,
or general to express something positive. The phrase "How cool!" is the Madrid
synonym for "charming".

The experience I want to live in this camp is to learn more religions, more languages, their
behaviors, the daily life of each person in their different country, what they do to earn their
money, what they work in, how is the politics in each of those countries, how we receive the
travelers who arrive there, more in depth their cultures, their food, their gastronomy and most
of all make friends to travel from country to country showing that we can all be united despite
the fact that we are from different countries, religions etc. I want to find more people and that
they be my friends for a long time.
