A bit of sun, please...

Well, too much stress isn't it?

I think we'd rather relax a little bit after this tsunami thing and the scary trailers I posted!
haha

In Spain, we have lots of webpages devoted to weather forecast. It is always good to know what is the weather like when we are going to the beach or want to do an outside acticity.
But it is also interesting to know some pages about weather in English, so ...here you have one. It is only for the U.K.

Weather in the United Kingdom

We love the sun!
Nice weather!



A bit of a curious fact...Do you know which is the rainiest place in the world??
It is in India, and its name is Mawsynram... Look at the uploaded video and learn about this strange and wet! place....




UNIT 5: EMERGENCY!

Hey you don't be scared! There is nothing to worry about...Once we have seen that the Mayas were not right.... for now... we can go on with our lives...

When we are dealing with hard weather conditions, the first thought that crosses our minds is the one about Tsunamis, or seaquakes... I am going to post a video about how a Tsunami works....Have a look at this impressive thing...



Well, this video, as you may have recognized, refers to the worst tsunami ever happened...it was in Tailand, 2004.

have you seen La Tormenta Perfecta?, It is a George Clooney film about a real sea phenomenon...very rare...as well. It is a about a super giant wave that destroys everything...Poseidón is a film with a similar content.

American Healthy food

It's unfair that when we think of American food, the first and only image that comes to our minds is that of a giant, greasy, cheesy, oily hamburger. Well, what if we start to get rid of stereotypes?

I agree on the fact that Mediterranean diet is hard to beat...but let's consider other healty options...
Clik on the following link to see and learn healthy food in America. There are recipes, images, other links...

This is healthy
Healthy vs. Unhealthy food

Next, I will post a link and a video of the best American restaurant, awarded as scuh in 2012. Visit its webpage and look at the video to find out... Its name is The Optimist, and it's in Atlanta.




Inside The Optimist, Atlanta


I hope you enjoyed my video about The Optimist... Espero que hayáis disfrutado mis aportaciones sobre la comida Británica y Americana...y por favor, recordad que los estereotipos no son buenos, y cuando hablamos de comida inglesa o americana, tenemos que considerar que también hay comida sana en estos lugares...no todo son hamburguesas...

UNIT 5: FOOD AND DRINK

Hello!
I'm back... just after a long time...the thing is that it's hard to do different things at the same time. I'd like to keep up with my blog, but sometimes it's not that easy.

Anyway, no regrets. I will post some interesting things about food and drink in England and USA.

First have a look at this web link that will explain about how British eat, as well as their favourite menus.

British meals!
Never disappointing Fish and Chips

Typical English Sunday Breakfast












Have you aver seen the Spanish TV programme "Pesadilla en la cocina", conducted bu A. Chicote? In England, there is a similar chef doing a very similar type of TV show. The name of this British chef is
 Gordon Ramsay. He has won 14 Michellin star awards... and enjoys great reputation among chefs around the world.

Have a look at him, telling us how to do scrambled eggs (huevos revueltos)...
