“ live without read is dangerous because force to be content with the live” said Michel Houllebeq.

My opinion- I’m think the read and the Computers there aren’t nothing with see, to one people can love the Read and love the computers there aren’t incompatible. I love the computers the play and the technology but I love read comic’s manga and read books.

The grapes

In Xmas in Spain are more moments unforgettable for example: Xmas eve, day of Xmas are come Papa Noel, New Year’s Eve and the day is come the three kings wizards and bought more presents.

And I’m choosing the New Year’s Eve concrete when the people eat the grapes. In Britain are the counts back, in France drink a toast with “champagne”, in Germany the people leave to left the dinner, in Denmark break the crockery, in Italy the people throw the olds aapparatus, in Brazil the people jump up to the seven waves, in Japan sound 108 peal but I’m centering in Spain in Spain the people ready 12 grapes and the people are eating one for one peal and then drink a toast with “caba” or “champagne”.

These tradition are go up make little time the grapes are started in Alicante, in 1909, but be left grapes and the people of Alicante eated grapes from these moment all Spain eat 12 grapes the new year’s eve.
