  • Hey there! I'm Shining Sparrow from Metro Atlanta (heart of Georgia, United States). Living in Atlanta, there are a lot of sushi and ramen places. (I'm questioning where on earth these chefs get all the fresh salmon and tuna from---other than the sea of course). There is a very diverse community, but you can definitely see the very visible remnants of segregation. Railroads and county borders separate people by income, race, or culture. There are some enclaves as well. Our roads are also seemingly *always* under construction (the potholes never disappear) and some red lights are never changed even though it causes more than traffic and keep the traffic flowing. But, our municipal government tries their best. They put in a lot of efforts into developing the economy and hosting cultural events, so it's mostly always fun here.

    1. I'm interested to hear that your roads are always under construction - it's the same here in London!

      1. ooooooooooow so u live in london also it is the same hear lots of construtions

      2. I live in southeast England. I only have to have a train ride to get to London. In kent

      3. hello I'm Fun_ Moon and I just joined topical talk to free my ideas to you guys. I do not know why here when a road is under construction it takes tie to finish building it, which often leads to accidents. so my point is that government or any electoral residential should make sure that the workers try to do their jobs by number 1: paying the workers their salary because without that they might or will not be willing to work. Number 2: by putting in officers who would make sure the work is done smoothly. I think I have made my point for now. THANKS.

      4. Have you tried to inform the government about this

    2. Hey!! It’s crazy to hear that you guys have the same struggles with the roads and traffic lights as us. I honestly thought that was a struggle unique to South Africa! 😅 I wish I could say our seafood was as common as our potholes, but good seafood is actually pretty rare here. I’d love to hear why you think the roads and lights are such a struggle there, especially if the local government is on top of things?

      1. You guys actually have the million-dollar question! Yes, our municipal governments are active and constantly passing out new ordinances and organizing community events. However, strangely, it seems as if traffic concerns take the back-seat. I cannot say for certain why, but I am make an inference that this is due to a lack of a "reporting" system. For instance, if a traffic light at a certain intersection is staying on red for too long---causing traffic in the morning---who do we report this to? I have no clue. Yes, we can attend city council meetings to voice our public concerns, but some cities (like my own) are fairly new, and there aren't many civic engagement. We kind of accept it as the norms, swerve our cars to avoid the potholes, and hope things get fixed.

        1. The school title next to your name tells me you are in Elite Scholars, shining_sparrow. If so I have many questions for you. First and foremost, my father said your uniforms look like the uniform from Harry Potter. Do you think so too? Along with this, what are your classes like? Especially math. Are they hard or easy? If you have time to answer please do. Thank you and have a great week.

      2. I agree with you. once I went to Crete and there were hardly any road works so I expected It was the same everywere eltse
        It is very interesting to know that it is the same sort of things here in the UK
        In Leeds we have a lot of roadworks

      3. Yeah, most people make The US sound like paradise but it really isn't and I feel like we as children, teens or even adults, we around the world try to make our view of reality more magical and like a Disney Movie but we don't talk a lot about our problems of the world we live in and more of our personal problems. Not to say everyone is self centered but we need more people like you that realize from under people that every country has a struggle of some kind in the form of potholes in the road, rising water, natural disasters whatever this world was made to be a paradise but to be our home and every home has a problem in some kind so to our home perfect we need to speak up, and one day we could change the world.

      4. Major fast fashion brands include Zara, H&M, Shein, Boohoo, Primark, ASOS, Fashion Nova, and Pretty Little Thing, known for rapidly producing cheap, trendy clothes, but many other retailers like Topshop, Mango, River Island, and supermarket brands also fit the model by offering high-volume, low-cost, trend-driven apparel. These brands thrive on quick turnover, often using synthetic materials and marketing heavily on social media to drive constant new purchases.

        1. Can you provide sources for this information?

    3. im from scotland our rodes are all broken when they fix them they fix them with pebbles and we get broken car windows

    4. This was a very good Intro on you, and where you live.

    5. hello, I 'm wondrous_atom and I live in rainham UK england

    6. I also live in Atlanta. Atlanta can be beautiful especially in the downtown area (the center of Georgia). Honestly ,that is so true about the constant construction. Everytime I go to downtown it is full of signs that say "Road Construction Ahead". Trust me, if you go to Atlanta there will always be plenty of traffic. Shining Sparrow you are so right. Other than the constant construction, Atlanta is beautiful. There is always something fun to do in Atlanta.

    7. I totally agree with you because over here in England the roads are always under construction 🚧 🦺and are closed for at least 4 weeks

      1. Yeah England says "it will be done soon" but it takes FOREVER for it to get fixed!

  • Hello! I am great_seal from London in the United Kingdom. Something you might not know about where I live is that the United Kingdom is made up of four nations, which are; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

    1. Hello! I am compelling_orca from Greater London, although I also have north - american parents. We have a very diverse community, so our high street is packed with delicious and cultural restaurants, supermarkets and shops! In fact, the city I live in has so many different places to eat and shop that the King visited for a spot of tea! We do have some roads under construction (like those in Atlanta, I hear) but many are done quite quickly, except for the motorways, which have an astonishing amount of building vehicles and construction workers always working on them. Everyone here is very friendly, and although where I live in London is technically a city, you are almost always going to 'bump into' a friend or acquaintance!

    2. Yeah, not sure how that works. could you explain why these four nations are referred to as one?

      1. It is referred to as one because they are all parts of one ; the United Kingdom. It is like the way states are under a country, that is how these four different countries are all part of one. Yes, they are independent but are still under one administration.

    3. Love the detail about the bus! Have you ever rode the double deck bus? If so what is it like? Here in Georgia, we have big and small yellow busses with black stripes on the side! They aren't double decker, but are very long!

  • Why hello there fellow homosapiens inhabiting this planet. I am glorious_literature from London in the United Kingdom, but I am filipino.

  • Hello all you amazing topical talker I'm phenomenal_fern and I'm from Egypt in hadai El ahram. Egypt is a somewhere where lots of people can speak multiple languages actually my main language is Arabic but I have managed to learn English so well that I'm practically on the same level.

    I joined topical talk last year and actually won the standpoint award if you are looking for me my past name was Honest_radio and the standpoint was about ai. Over there you can see me talk about advantages and disadvantages of ai's use.

  • Hi, I am quickwitted_knowledge from a town in Egypt. Something you might not know about where I live is that most of the Egyptians believe in superstitions. It is actually something extremely annoying and most of them are fake.
    Here are some of the most popular superstitions and in Egypt.

    1. If anyone saw a flipped slipper or a shoe. He or she must run and flip it to its regular shape. This is because they think that a disastrous calamity will happen in minutes if they did not flip it.

    2. It is thought that if salt was splattered on the step of a supermarket or an apartment, it will grab money and great news to the place.

    3.if any Egyptian saw a black cat or an owl standing in his balcony or even heard the sound of a crow, they would be pessimistic for the whole day furthermore they will be frightened that something horrible will happen in their day.

    4.If they saw an opened closet, they will think that it is like a coffin then they will close it quickly believing that someone will die if it wasn't closed. Also, another thing like this is that if you rub you neck with a towel, someone will die in your family. This is actually fake.

    All of these Egyptian superstitions went down from one generation to another generation. They are like folk tales that parents use to scare their kids to sleep or to obey or even to wash their hands and be clean. I know that parents want their kids to be the best, but this solution is not the way to bring up your own children.

    1. That's fantastic! I love Egypt and the pyramids, your culture everything I'm quite excited to know your country's traditional food can you share??

    2. Well a really creative and innovative point you made there, but I might say that you may not be completely right about the superstitions not being a solution to bring up children. Using myself a an example, I am proactive_swan and I stay in a town here in Nigeria. There are scary stories/superstitions I was told by my parents when I was younger that helped shape my mentality towards certain things and towards certain people today. I live in a country that is filled with a lot of ethnic and cultural diversities. There are certain places you go to whereby the values you were taught might be seen as a taboo. But these stories have taught me a collective manner of acting in any environment I find myself.
      I was once told that if you were to hit someone with a broomstick, the person was going to die. The first thing I learnt about this superstition was that abuse of any sort is bad and dangerous, which then made me to try and learn how to relate with different people around me in order to avoid conflicts of any sort and maintain peace.
      So this is my feel about how effective the superstitions and stories our parents tell us can be. And I'd wish to see other students share the fanciful and magical things they were made to believe while growing up. THANK YOU.

  • Hello! I am living in the beautiful city of Chennai in India. Something that is not very well known about where I live is that it is a place where old meets new in the most stunning way possible. While it is very well known for the energy of the streets, the crowded roads, and the bustling markets, it is also a place of peace and history. The city is gifted with golden beaches where people come together to watch the rising sun, play some cricket matches, or just have fun with friends and family. It is a cultural capital where it is very famous for its wonderful musical concerts, the Bharatanatyam form of art, and the various colorful festivals it celebrates, which bring joy and happiness in every nook and cranny of the streets of Chennai. Amidst all the energy of the streets of this wonderful capital of South India, there are old culture of the temples in ancient format, old buildings that define heritage in every aspect of history, peace-giving gardens that remind people of the beautiful history of the place. The cuisine in this capital is yet another treat for every person who walks into this city, which brings Chennai "an emotion" to everyone.

    1. Thank you for your comment! And welcome along.

    2. India sounds fun but do you ride a school bus to go to school.

  • Good morning everyone, I’m thankful fig from tamilnadu,Chennai also called as Detroit of India because of large automobile industries. It is a awesome place where many cultures and traditions blend but constantly affected with water issues while roughly receiving 1,400 mm* rainfall. This is because of non-efficient water storage systems.
    Finally, l’m happy and excited to discuss and share ideas with you all in the coming days.

  • Hello! I'm trustworthy_philosophy from Chennai in India which is located in southern Asia with capital as Delhi. India is a democratic country and has 22 official languages. We celebrate festivals named Christmas,diwali,holi,Pongal,onam etc.

    These are some of the lists of Indian culture.

    1. Indus Valley Civilization: started at 2500 BCE which is one of the earliest social organisation.

    2. Maurya and Gupta Empires: Flourishing of classic literatures.

    Our national animal is Royal Bengal Tiger and national bird is Indian Peacock that has more than hundreds of long feathers. India has delicious foods like Butter chicken, Biriyani,Samosa,Masala dosa(South India)etc.

    1. Thank you for your comment! And welcome along.

    2. Hello, trustworthy philosophy! I'm affectionate turtle. I really like Indian food too. I've tried various curries during field trip last year and I started to like them so much. I also learned about Indus valley civilization in social studies class. I liked how they had very advanced ideas even though it was an ancient time. They even used extremely precise standardized weights and measures. Not only that, but the Indus valley civilization had a lot of interesting factors that gave me attention. Did you know that the writings from Indus valley civilization couldn't be translated until now?

      I'm really excited to continue this Topical festival with you. Nice to meet you. And I would appreciate if you can give me information about the Maurya and Gupta empires too because I haven't heard about them yet!

  • Hello!! I'm Raghini from chennai India. Something you might not know about where I live is that Chennai is called the “Gateway to South India".

Chennai is also famous for it's temples, classic music, and tasty South Indian food like dosa and idli. I like my city because it is busy colourful, and full of culture.

    1. Thank you for your comment! And welcome along.

  • Hi! I'm positive tamarind from Egypt Giza Hadik Al Ahram. Somethings you might not know about Egypt are that:

    1-although Egypt is very huge and about 100 million human lives on it but only 5% of it is inhabited and the rest of our land is basically a desert, and everyone lives along the Nile River and its Delta.

    2-As I mentioned I live in Giza Hadik Al Ahram so practically, I have the pyramids as the background of my house, so I wanted to mention this fact about the pyramids. The great pyramid was the tallest building on earth for 3800 years and bro Pharos built it without any technology and stronger than any building nowadays.

    3-Something to add to quickwitted knowledge is that Ancient Egyptians worshiped black cats but the modern fear of black cats bringing bad luck so likely was because European influence not cultural believes.

    1. Thank you for your comment! And welcome along.

    1. Thank you for your comment! And welcome along.

    2. Hi I'm blessed_twilight from Atlanta, Georgia. It sounds pretty nice living there because you can help develop your own state and bring changes that help the place you live in. The fertile soil would also be very helpful for starting farms and gardens. That was everything I wanted to say ,and God bless you.

  • Hello. I'm resplendent blueberry from 6th of October City in Egypt.
    I live so close to the famous pyramids of Giza, where you can find history, treasure, and secrets hiding all around.

    Something you might not know about where I live is that Egypt is always making headlines for its incredible culture and history. For example, on November 11th, 2025, Egypt celebrated the grand opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum.
    It was a huge event with spectacular celebrations, music, and fireworks, and the museum is now home to some of the world’s most ancient treasures.

    Also, did you hear about the woman from the USA who came to Egypt just to eat Koshari at Koshari Abou Tarek? She loved it so much that she even appeared on Egyptian TV. It's super famous, if you ever visit, this dish is a must-try.

    The people here are super welcoming, and there’s so much history everywhere you look.

    Hope you enjoyed learning a little bit about my home!

    1. Hi! I'm from Egypt too, but I live in the UK. I visited the GEM last summer and it was AMAZING!

    2. Hi I'm zestful_mode I love your description about Egypt I would love to learn more and educate myself

  • Hello everyone I am fiery_horse from India, chennai, lndia the major reason for the formation of the world's tallest mountain the Mount Everest, as the Indian tectonic plate separated from African plate and crashed at the Asian plate whatever somehow created a tall mountain.

  • Hey there! I'm assured construction from the land of cultures, tamilnadu, India. I'm living in a country that shares its distinctive culture to different parts of the world. For example my school conducts international youth panel discussions that gather tiny minds across many countries to discuss global issues. We are shining from sky to soil,from Kalpana Chawla who studied the sky,to M.S Swaminathan who studied the soil,proving that true progress honors both height and ground. We are in the nation where our dreams touched stars and we had written our glory on the moon by becoming the first country to land on the untouched south pole of the moon. Also, the Indian space research organization (ISRO) plans to develop a "Bharatiya Antariksh station", indigenous modular space station. If you come to India, you will enjoy varieties of food, stunning views, and unlimited fun. I enjoy my life in India, where every day reminds me that progress is not only about rising fast, but about growing with roots like the great Topical talk.

    1. Welcome, assured_construction! Thank you for sharing this. I especially love how you've reflected on what your environment reminds you about progress.

    2. hi everyone this is fair minded elephant from India and I also wanted to add more to what assured _construction said about our country being a little famous for space, it's true that what we've achieved and we are currently achieving are some really awesome things but what I find more interesting is a fact that many people do not know. The India mars mission which was executed by our country actually cost less per one kilometer than a taxi drive in some cities across the world ,we our famous for a thing called "frugal innovation" which if you are curious means solving very big problems with very little money but I want to admit that I have changed my mind about this recently. I used to think that if a country needs to be a leader in the space or technology field they have to have the biggest budget like 30 trillion dollars and really costly equipment but after seeing how our (my country's) scientists succeeded by being creative and using limited resources , I have realized that problem solving and creativity are much more important than having more money. I now think that India's biggest contributions to the world is not just rockets but showing other countries and nations that they can achieve big things on a smaller budget. This also a message that we don't need to use or rely on any other unnecessary things, instead like the scientists we can use our creativity and problem solving skills and achieve great things just like the scientists.

      singing off: Fair minded elephant

  • Hi topical talkers!! I'm Responsible_indenpendence and I am writing from Caceres inside Extremadurain, in the west of Spain. A curious fact about Caceres is that nowadays is considered world heritage due to it´s old town. Besides it is a place really enjoyable as it has varied food from lots of countries, it also has lots of places for young people like the cinema, scape rooms , many places to do sports and even video game arcades. In addition, it also have some art museums like the one of Helga de Alvear, a recognized contemporary art gallerist. Our city has 96,65K inhabitants living in the city with the largest area of Spain: 1750,23 km², impressive right? Well, I'm looking forward to discuss with all of you.

  • Hello!! I'm lucky ukulele (i find the nickname interesting since I'm actually trying to learn the guitar hahah). I live in Thessaloniki, Greece, and I think something notable about our city is, first of all, our cuisine that's been inspired by many cultures. Also, we are considered a city full of life since there are many university students that choose to study here!

    1. I also live in Greece. I would like to know how is Thessaloniki? I want to go there sometime.

  • Hi! I am Meticulous Tsunami from Cáceres, Spain. Something you might not know about where I live is that we have incredible and unique gastronomy; in each autonomous community, there is a typical dish. In Extremadura, it is migas extremeñas, made with stale bread, garlic... and in my opinion, it is very tasty. We also have dances like the jota and traditional costumes, which tell our stories and celebrate local traditions. Cáceres, specifically, is full of legends that mostly take place in the old part of our city. In Spain, there are landscapes of all kinds, from mountains to beaches. One of our customs that draws a lot of attention is the siesta, meaning sleeping after lunch. At first, it might sound a bit strange, but once you try it, there´s no turning back!

  • Hi!! I'm bright_raisin from Giza in Egypt. i was born in Saudi Arabia and raised in Egypt. I participated in Topical Talk last year I didn't win but I'm willing to win this year. And I'm exited to discuss with you guys.

    1. Hey just wanted to ask if you had any difficulty by being born in Saudi Arabia and raised in a different country than your birthplace or if you ever faced any exclusion because of that ???

      1. Actually, I didn't face any difficulties or problems for being raised in a different country than the birthplace. I didn't face any rejection and my experience was very positive.

        1. thats good to hear because i remember many of my foreign friends growing up from latin america facing rejection and i believbe it was pure terrorism because they were violently chased by the locals and i can relate because i almost faced the same treratment because i was with them

          1. That's heart-breaking to hear and this experience should not be ignored.

  • Hi, hello, and welcome! I'm conscientious_meaning from 6th of October City (Giza, Egypt). Living in Egypt, dogs are everywhere. And by everywhere, I mean, everywhere. Simply walking down the street has you stumbling across 20 stray dogs which is very unfortunate as most of these dogs are good boys who just need homes. Obviously, you can't talk about Egypt without mentioning the Great Pyramids of Giza. One common misconception about the Pyramids is that they're in the middle of nowhere, that cannot be further from the truth. Next to the Pyramids there's a literal Dominoes which doesn't charge extra. You can eat pizza while watching the Pyramids. Another lesser known fact is that the Danish prime minister (Lars Løkke Rasmussen) gifted our Minister of Foreign Affairs (Badr Abdel Aty) a LEGO model of the Great Pyramid of Khufu in celebration of the Grand Egyptian Museum finally opening. I visited it once in a school trip before it was officially opened and it's like a completely different world in there. The environment was on-point and we saw some foreigners in the museum who looked at us like we were aliens. While sometimes the place is a bit too rugged and dirty (those roads are no joke, they do not stop), it's home and it serves us well.

    1. Pizza by the pyramids?! What a dream. Welcome to Topical Talk, conscientious_meaning!

  • Hello I'm talkative_statement from Tamil Nadu-India. I always wonder about my native town that is called as "sleepless city"in my mother tongue, I didn't know why they are calling like that, it is also famous for food where there you could get food at anytime. My native town is very kown for a story from a book from sangam-age, From Sangam age this town updates itself with all technologies, IT industry...... And I am very proud that one of the popular game is conducted in our city "Jallikattu" an traditional game where we first worship cow and start. And a famous tourist spot of my town is the famous Meenakshi Amman kovil, which is famous for its architectural brilliance, Whenever my country's prime minister comes to Tamil Nadu he never misses to worship Meenakshi amman . This city is dating from 3rd century, this city is one of the most potrayed city in the sangam age. And my native town's name is "MADURAI"

  • Hello. I am mirthful_huckleberry and I’m from France the best country in the world for people who really love fromage.

  • Hello my name is tough_recipe, i am from Limoges in France. Something you might not know about where i live is that the train station from my native city is the most beautiful in France

  • Hello I’m buzzing_yuru and I live in France but I was born in England , I play rugby at quite a high level in France , I love sushi it is my favorite food and I dislike football

  • Hello! I'm Fearless_dolphin from South Wales! I believe a topic around my area, which is quite on the edge for young people is the whispers of a social media ban for under 16s on the horizon, it's quite disturbing for young people who are chronically online on youtube or tiktok etc. I personally believe that it should be under 13s, this is because more younger people then 13 are growing up listening and watching the internet without spending their childhood expressively. And for me, that is really upsetting!

  • Hi! I’m terrific_currency from Tokyo in Japan. Something you might not know about where I live is that in Japan the first woman prime minister was elected recently. Her name is Sanae Takaichi and she got elected in October 21, 2025.

    1. Could you tell me your opinion on your new prime minister what do you think about her?

  • Hi I’m unparalleled opinion from Japan. My hobby right now is to paint toys to make them look premium. For example, most of the toys are molded in color which looks cheap. What I do for them is to coat them with better paint and for parts that should be metallic, I use a technique called “candy paint” which I paint a metallic silver or gold for foundation and paint the color I want over them slowly which creates a shiny metallic color.

    1. That sounds very interesting! How and when did you start doing it?

  • Hi! I'm constructive_solution and I'm from Tokyo, Japan. A thing that might not be common for some people is that in the morning of a new year, we usually eat Osechi, which is a bento filled with various seasonal dishes that each has meanings.

    1. Hello! I have a question for you when is your new year is it different from our new year??

    2. That sounds really interesting and fun!Ive always wanted to try japanese food!

  • Hi I am diplomatic_seal from Tokyo, Japan.

    1. Hi diplomatic_seal, welcome! I'd love to hear a fun fact about Tokyo.

  • Hi! I`m Marvellous Otter from Tokyo, Japan. Japan is a very busy country filled with tall buildings, traffic, and people. Many may know Tokyo for anime and delicious food, but did you know about the strict rules in schools? Students in most public and private schools do not allow neither piercings nor dying your hair. This is because schools want us to focus on studying more than our looks. Although my school is somewhat less strict than others, friends from outside Japan often comment that they're surprised about these "strange" rules in my daily school life. I'm looking forward to having discussions with you all!

  • Hi, I'm trusting_science. I go to a school in Tokyo but live in Kanagawa(a prefecture next to Tokyo). Tokyo may be famous for the shining cities and the busyness, but I would suggest visiting places where you can enjoy historical artifacts and nature in a quite place like Okutama and old shrines.
    The hottest news in Japan is about the new prime minister, who apparently is the first women prime minister in Japan. The support rate has been keeping up unlike the recent previous prime ministers. She has taken many bold initiatives in such a short time, and I wish her all the best for her second election coming up on February 8.
    I am currently reading a book called "The Book Thief". I am really into it. 150 pages left to go! I am also looking forward to reading the latest book of my favorite author Dan Brown, "The Secrets of Secrets". His stories are one of my must read book recommendation.
    I'd like to have some book recommendations and share thoughts about not only books but also other things as well!

    1. i loveeeee japan tell me more abt your country

  • Hello!! Im straightforward_artist from Chennai, South of India. Something you might not know about where I live is that we trust the clouds more than any weather apps because when it's turns a little dark, it's sure that it will rain that day. And also, school starts very early here and traffic starts much earlier. And another important thing about our city is how old traditions and modern life live together because you can ancient temples and busy IT offices near to each other. So basically, living in Chennai teaches you patience, by waiting in traffic jams and teaches you how to survive the heat...

    1. Thank you!

  • Hello everyone, I am best grapefruit I am from Egypt and I entered topical talk last year and also this year because it makes me confident.

  • Hello my name is genius_fly i live in the united kingdom here there is not much going on but people are angry due to our PM doing things bad. People think he is not good and there should be a election before the next one as many want him out and want another party to be in control such as Reform. People are mad as some think illegal immigration should not be allowed while some do think they should. Our PM says he does not want them in but "He is not doing good at it" says the people that want Reform(a different party) in charge of the country. People have a lot of different views about this due to Reform not wanting free healthcare. Many have protested about this...

    That's all, very excited for this year! :)

  • Hello everybody! My name is funny_spring, and I go to school near London and I live in surrey.

    Something very big at the moment here in Surrey, is the Godstone sinkhole. This has had a major effect on rather a few people in the area including someone in my school! They have been talking about how they have had a lack of water due to the damage to the water pipes.

    This just shows that there is always someone always having a harder time!

  • Hi there! My name is Curious Revolution from the United Kingdom and I'm super curious to get to know everyone. Here in the UK(specifically just outside London)we have many famous attractions and calm places for those who love nature! However near where I live, there has been some signs of deforestation and the area has started to lose its beauty. On the other hand however, me and some neighbours have written to the counsellor of our area to try and counter this issue. A way this could have been avoided was by building around the area instead, this could help the area keep its natural beauty and help new residents enjoy the wonderful scenery. One thing I love a lot about where I live though is how diverse and inclusive it is. Many races enjoy living here and enjoy the area like us. Thank you for reading!

    1. Thank you for sharing!

In New Orleans, there is a mall I go to, and something really special that happened is how I saw my sister for the first time and I was able to meet all my other sisters and brothers. Something that is also unique in Atlanta is how we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we get a three day weekend instead of two.

They also have a sushi place that is pretty good. They have fresh salmon, California roll, and crunchy roll. A crunchy roll is where there is panko on top of sushi. Another place that we go is this Korean hot pot place where you can make your own sauce and get some side dishes. Also, you can choose your own broth flavor that you cook your ingredients with. The stores we go to are usually Vietnamese grocery stores (sometimes Korean stores) that have Vietnamese and Korean ingredients. Sometimes when we go on the highway, we get stuck in traffic because of construction and car accidents, but they are mostly clear. I can't wait to share and have discussions with all of you guys.

  • Greetings! I am modest in impression from Metro Georgia (North America.) Here in Atlanta, there is a lot of stellar/good restaurants. Usually there are many fast food places like Chick-Fil-A, but no! Here, we have a place called "Carrabba's Italian Grill" which I really say you should try their Chicken Alfredo which will make your head explode! Also, we also have a spectacular Coca- Cola Factory. It shows you how the creation of the Cola was made with a Souvenir Shop in the back with plushies and more! A sneak peak would be that they say the secret recipe is behind a safe in the factory. In summarization, we put our blood, sweat, and tears to make Metro Georgia fun and awesome here in Georgia.

  • Hi 'iam independent musician from chennai india.Here’s something that you may not get to experience but get a chance to understand while being in my city. Chennai has a certain unassuming depth that many people overlook upon first impression. Chennai is the city that wakes up very early. There are morning walkers on the road, the smell of filter coffee . the sound of temple bells ringing along with soft music from neighboring houses.

    Chennai is very traditional, but it also embraces creativity. Classical music and old song  practicing and music composed by artists through their home setups. Marina Beach is more than a stretch of land by the Sea this is where people come to see and take a breath of fresh air.

    Chennai is very discipline, and respect. The festivals are celebrated with joy, food is prepared with love, and words are  with emotion. The very climate of Chennai teaches tolerance. Chennai might not be shout outs , but it makes a lasting mark. Chennai is a place that builds emotion and we call it as home.

  • Hi . My name is Persistent_Imagination born in the U.S.A .I'm half Vietnamese where there are lots of coconuts. I live in Metro Atlanta (United States) . I spend most of my time in Vietnam. The climate in Vietnam is rough with temperatures exceeding 30c (86f) in hot months like May-August ,while in cold months like November-April temperatures drop down to 15-25c ( 59-77).

    1. Hi Persistent_Imagination, I like your comment and I'm also Vietnamese too. I was born in Vietnam, and moved to the Atlanta area in 2024. Since I spent a long time in Vietnam, sometimes I miss my friends and the culture in my country. For example, I miss celebrating Vietnamese New Year. Money is not exchanged at New Year's in America.

Here in Georgia we have lots of beautiful and fun places in Georgia. Some things with have in Georgia are hibachi, sushi, ramen, tacos, and burritos! Here, we have food items from all around the world also some foods in our culture which are hotdogs and hamburgers. Even though Georgia is a very nice place it can also have some negative things. One for example is that it is always, and I mean always traffic. We have lots of roads that are under construction and that cause lots of traffic up to 2 hours. One fact that you may not know about Georgia is that we do not have many natural lakes. Lakes here are made by building dams across rivers. So, to sum this all up, in Georgia with have some up sand downs but it is very amazing here! See ya around!😁

Paella and ham are common dishes in our country, and I specialy like our gastronomy. Moreover, Spanish landscapes are breathtaking. They mix mountains with beaches, both incredible. There are a lot of tourists here in Spain. They might come from the north, as here is hotter than in other places.

  • Hello! I'm romantic_ostrich and I'm from Georgia in the United States. Something you might not know about where I live is how Political Crisis is happening. The major issue continues because of the 2024 election. In the January of 2024 election, Donald Trump was elected as president. President Trump is acting in ways that are causing problems and dividing people in our county. For instance Donald Trump is having Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest people for what appears to be no reason. Last year, President Trump denied some federal funding to elite universities that he said created hostile environments. Some people believe he is targeting universities that have leading officials that do not agree with him. People are becoming more and more divided in our country, I think, because of Trump's actions.

    1. Can you tell us where you found your evidence?

  • Hello friends, my name is Fantastic Attitude and I'm from London England, I am originally from Lagos Nigeria , and I am very passionate about hearing everybody's point of view and how to keep the environment clean. In my school, we have Eco Warriors and they help us to care about the environment and how its affecting us in not just the UK but the world! London is a very vibrant , fun and cultural city , we are diverse and very populated. I love London because of all the beautiful sky scrapers , for me , its like walking into paradise, I also like how the weather has been changing A LOT here. Sometimes, it can be very cold but other days it can be a little bit cold but the sun shines so it makes it very mild. One of my favourite places in London is Tower Bridge because I love how busy it also its a very local to me. I also like walking along the river in the summer time when its warm because it makes me feel calm and relaxed.

    Thank you so much for reading my comment. Hope you all enjoy this years topical talk festival!

    1. Hello Fantastic Attitude! I'm Introspective Atmosphere and life in London seems pretty busy and frenetic. I'm from a small city in Spain called Salamanca, not as busy as London is and I don't think I could handle that every day. Here climate is not as random as there but it is true that it is very extreme, during winter there are harsh cold temperatures but during summer there are hot temperatures perfect to go to the pool with your friends. My favourite place in my city is the main square (called "Plaza Mayor") because although it is the most crowded area, there are many places to have some food such as ice cream, hot chocolate, etc, and hang out with your friends.

    2. Phenomenal owl, I have a quesion for you? What is your favourite thing of London? Gastronomy, monuments, shops? It will be intresting to know your opinion! Bye!

    3. so going to phenomenal_owl i hope that you are enjoying Great Britain so far and i know how long of a flight that really is and i hope your settling in nicely because i know that London can be busy sometimes { i know that because i live in London to } and i hope youre having a nice time

  • Hello everyone! I am Reflective Atom from Rex Georgia in the United States of America. If you look on a map and point out Georgia in the USA, you might see that we are down south, the Deep South is what we call it. Something you might always hear about the Deep South, especially in Hollywood movies, is that it is very country ( imagine a American Cowboy), and to this I say, not entirely wrong but not right . This may had been true 100 years ago, but as of now, Georgia is a very diverse state with multiple influential groups of people that helped build to what Georgia is of now. There's some things that most even American didn't know were a mix of different cultures, one being American BBQ. Georgia is one state proud about their BBQ, so it surprising to hear that most people don't even know how it started. Here I will give a brief history lesson, American BBQ started around the 1500s with it first being a Indigenous Caribbean cooking method that was then introduced to Spanish explorers, which they spread this cooking method throughout North America, especially in the southern areas, and then finally being shaped by enslaved African that lived in these areas working as cooks, making the closest to what we know as American BBQ. This is why is important to learn your history. To end with a fun fact, did you know that not only was Coca Cola found in the USA, it was found in Atlanta Georgia.

    1. Thank you reflective_atom for the very informative post about Georgia!

    2. This is great information about Georgia! I love the information you gave.

  • Hey everyone! I hope all is well, my name is Knowledgeable_fossil! I'm from Metro Atlanta, (More or less Atlanta...), Georgia. And something you may not know about where I live is that, living near Atlanta give me a front row seat to an incredible array of locally owned businesses--everything from small restaurants and bakeries to tax offices and mechanic shops. But what stands out to me the most isn't just the variety, but rather how deeply these businesses are shaped by the communities that surround them.

    I've had the chance to meet many of the owners and talk to them about how their environments influences the way that they run their businesses'. But one of my happiest little pop-ups that I got the chance to go to visit a little shop that sold That green tea. And, I've got to say they have that recipe down! Even if it was just a temporary stand (though I am waiting for the next pop-up), I can't think of a moment I've been happier while drinking something so sweet and delicious, even though it was all wet and cold outside.

    And speaking of pop-up shops, I also really enjoy the cultural events that my municipal government hosts. It's really fun to engage with people of different backgrounds, especially because they all have such a unique story. Not to mention, it provides for a wonderful volunteering opportunity, allowing me to meet new people, including our local police department and fire department!

    1. Thanks for the comment knowledgeable_fossil. It's really nice the way that you engage with your local community.

    2. That is awesome i think thats really cool about where you live.

    3. I wish it was like that where live if you like to know some thing more about where I live well let me tell you some / most of the Nigerians are anti social people they care only about how much is in their palm than they care for the community members unlike your community and that is horrible sometimes I look at the positive and negative influence of money in our l and I feel the negative have a bigger influence in our lives I think they just make us monsters to the extent of bringing curses to themselves or making deals with the devil and i don't also think money is the root of all evil i think it is the way we use or influence it that makes it the root of all evil thanks for the ideas knowledgeable fossil

      1. You say "most Nigerians are anti-social people". This is a sweeping generalisation - can you make this claim for certain? What's your evidence?

  • Hello evryone! Im assured_conclusion from athens in greece. Many people think that greece is like some mythological beautiful place born from gods and stuff like that but its really not. in the main areas of greece (except from the islands) its really dangerous and unhygenic most of the time! But the rural areas are very traditional and still hold traditions from thousands of years ago! Also the scenery here is beautiful wether its the beaches the seas the mountains its very beautiful! Well that was a couple things about greece Id love to chat with you all And im very excited to do so!

    1. Hello! my name is comfortable_guava, and your description is very nice , your making me wanting to go to greece ! but besides that I love this.

  • Hello, I'm Encouraging Leopard and I'm from Greece and especially from Athens

    1. @encouraging_leopard what is one thing that people from outside of Greece might not know about Athens?

  • Hi guys! I'm eloquent pear from Athens Greece.The most traditional food that every Greek eats is gyros,tzatziki. I'm sure you know that. Living in Greece is very fun.Today actually schools are closed because of rain and severe cold.. Its amazing that we get a break right? Well technically we don't because we do online school... It's okay though! Actually it's fun! I mean it reminds me of covid.. Anyways it is FREEZING outside! How is the weather at your country??

  • Hiii
    I am from Greece

    1. Hi Unbiased_cicada. What's something others might not know about Greece?

      1. Hi, thank you for asking
        Greece has some amazing places, like many beautiful islands with great beaches. But there are some places, which mostly the locals know that are full of noise and rubbish. That’s why we should improve ourselves and make a world better for everyone

    2. What's something about Greece that us in the United States or even a different state wouldn't know??

      1. Helloo, I am glad you asked
        Greece has some things like the local food or the islands, which she is known for. But there are many things that other people and tourists don’t know. The most important unknown thing about Greece is its mountains. There are plenty of them where people can ski and see an awesome view. I believe that the mountains are underrated by the tourists because they come during the summer, where most people go to the sea, so they don’t have the ability to visit them.

  • Hi! I' am outgoing_weasel from Županja, Croatia. We are a small country with population of about 3,5 milion people (3 times smaller than London).

  • Hello, I'm powerful_forest from small town called Županja in Croatia. This town is near the river Sava. If you come here you'll see long and beautiful fields. Here, there is not much criminal and kids are safer than in some bigger cities. They often go to school alone or with friends. One negative thing is that there isn't a lot of places to see and go out, but a lot of beautiful nature. Also, one thing that I really like about our country is that there is so much great and yummy food. If you visit Croatia you need to try 'kulen', 'pašticada' and 'tačke'. For everyone who likes football, Županja is famous because it is a birthplace of football in Croatia. In February, we have our traditional festival called "Šokačko sijelo" where you can see our past and traditions. It is also a great opportunity to try and see delicious food, folklore dances and traditional dresses. See you in Županja!

The most impresive building of this marvelous city its the cathedral, when you look it for firts time it gives you impresion because of all the figures you can find on any front wall, and also because of his heigh. This buiding has passed throw many problems, but the biggest one was a huge earthquake in Lisbon that affected Salamanca and its cathedral. Thats why if you look at it you can see that there are some staples that help the cachedral to don´t fall. Now I am going to write about traditional food. In Salamanca there is a festivity that most people do that is called "Lunes de Aguas". This festivity has been done from long time ago and it is done to celebrate that women could enter Salamanca without any problem. In this day, everyone eats a piece of "Horazo" which is a traditional food that its made of bread, steaks and chorizo (which is the meet from the pigs). Most of the people go to eat Hornazo with his familly and they eat it in the contryside. That day is very special for me because its a day that I can pass time with my family and friends.

  • Hi guys! I´m funny_iceberg and I´m writting from a gorgeus and lively city of Spain which is called Salamanca. It´s located in the western of Spain, in the autonomus community of Castille and Leon, near Madrid (Spain´s overcrowded capital). I love to live here with my family, because all around me is beutiful, I´m surronded of golden rock and historic monuments. Furthemore, this city makes me to enjoy a simple walk though the old part by it´s elegant and authentic streets and it´s glowing Plaza mayor. Moreover, Salamanca is consider world heritage, because here it is one of the oldest universities of the world, which is more than 800 years old. Also, we have two breathtaking and spectacular cathedrals, the new one is built beside the old one. My favoriteis the older cathedral, due to it´s charming dome.

    1. Hi humorous_apricot! Can you share where you are from and something interesting that others might not know?

  • Hi I'm from London, England and something which is happening here is that many roads are under repair. This is always happening because water pipes get damaged. As well as that, it is also getting warmer in winter due to climate change. It is quite a change as now it barely reaches under zero degrees and it has stopped snowing. Compared to long ago it is warmer and before it nearly always snowed. I think it is because of London's population density as there are more cars which produce greenhouse gases

  • Hi everyone! I`m Openhearted Squid from Salamanca, an amazing city in Spain. I will love to share my feelings and opinions about diferent topics with you all as well to answer, comment and take part to all your quotes and forums. Now, to introduce myself im going to explain a bit about my country. Some estereotypes may make people think Spain is all about "paella" and party, with lazy people and summer warmth but its much more interesting than that. In cities like Salamanca, my city, you can find such a deep historical context with stunning architectural monuments everywhere. Each have a story to tell you! Its true "paellas" in Spain are amazing but that stays short compared to all the gastronomic richness Spain awaites. I will love to see more Spanish people affirming and contributing to what i just said in more comments but i will be delighted even more with comments from different people in the world exchanging feelings from diverse cultures. Its a pleasure to take part of this big community, see you all in more forums!

  • Hi! I'm constructive_iceberg from Salamanca in Spain.Something you migh not know about where I live is it's visited university.It's the oldest in Spain build in 1218.Many people know Salamanaca by the frog but the people don't know the legend and location.It is located in the university's facade and all the people say that if you saw and localize it you are going to be lucky in your student or work life.Salamanca isn't one of the most visited cities of Spain so people can know only a little or nothig about it.Instead of having one cathedral it have two that are join togheter and are very tall and incredible.These are the main things you might don't know about Salamanaca but there are infnite more.

  • Hi everyone! My name is Illuminated Owl and I write you from Salamanca, Spain. I am sure that you don't know that, for all the students in this city, the most important thing you must do for passing your exams is... finding a frog! Sounds strange, isn't it? But if you can finally and fortunately see the hidden little animal (a clue: it is sat down on a skull) in the fachade of the city's old university, it is said that you will obtain great marks in all your exams! Awesome, don't you think the same? But the most important question is: does it really work? Nobody knows; but I wish it does... It also could be very good if that sacred little animal also gave luck during the festival, do you agree? By the way, good luck to everyone!, although I am not that special stone amphibian that I have told you before, and let's see who is the best at this... I can't wait to begin this competition and to read your comments! Bye!

  • Hi! i'm prodigious_hedgehog ,and i'm from Salamanca but I live in a village near Salamanca.Something you might not know about where I live is that when you want to visit it there are too many people so you need to choose a good day from visiting it,also streets are very old,so for woking many hours you must bring a good pair of shoes ,also if you want to eat same tapas,which are very famous here,you will need to chose a good bar,because in same bars tapas are very expensive and same times there are too many people;but kipping apart things that you musn't know from Salamanca I thing you will also need to came because there many beautiful monuments and places that you must need to see, such as the catheldrals ,Plaza Mayor ,El Huerto de Calisto y Melivea ,Las Casas de las Conchas between others.

  • Hellooo
    I am from Salamanca,my life is so boring during classes I only like the summer but I need to survive having good marks because if not my parents will make me to stay home during all the summer.
    My favorite activity is to go party with my friendes and to play football,but during classes is completly imposible to go party,football is the sport that I practise so it is the only think I can do appart of just looking papers to memorize the information and write them two days after studing,wich in my oppinion it dosn't help me to learn anything the only thing wich I do is to retain the inormation during several days and forgot it after the test.
    Eaven football is the sport I can play during the period of classes I prefer the summer because at summer I can play without the internal thinking of having the next day a exam.
    The school is a period in wich I only get tired of every thing and my body is always suffering because of a reason,the techers,most of them,only care about themselves so it is very difficult to focus in 10 different subjects at the same time so because of it,the marks are lower and the teachers will think that we are"gangsters"wich will end homless,which is not the reality because the problem are that them are the ones which make us to have that poor results with a lot of works,books to read and tests to do.
    In a conclusion I think that school is the worst method to learn "relevant"information,for me the best way to learn things is by yourself with the people you apreciate.
    So please let us have more fun with our friends and the results will be better.

  • Hello everyone!! I'm Fun Climate from Salamanca (a big city of Spain). I like so much living in Salamanca, it is a nice cutural city where you can do several funny and interesting things.

  • Hello, my name is idealistic_nature, and I'm from Salamanca, which is a city is Spain; Salamanca is a peaceful city, but there are a lot of beatiful historic things to see, something that you might not know about my city is that it's known as "The university city" because we have the most famous and old university in Spain; some people say that if you find the statue of the frog, that it's at the facade of the university, you will have good luck in your studies and life, and that's the main attraction for the tourists if I'm honest... That also explain why in every store you enterer, you will see a frog keycharm or something similar (by the way, the frog is a simbol of the city, so, for us is very special).
    Another place that it's very known in my city is the library "Las conchas", because it's decorated with numerous shells in all the walls, and the special of this shells are their golden color, and one of the infinite tales from Salamanca, says that inside one of the shells, there is real gold, that was hidden by some of the kings who didn't want to lose his fortune.

  • Hello, I'm Allowing tsunami from Salamanca, Spain. I go to the IES Francisco Salinas, which it's not in the centre but it's incredible also. For me, living in Salamanca is wonderful and if you come here you will understand it. In this city you can find two cathedrals, one next to each other, and also the most famous monument in the whole city, Salamanca's university, an outstanding place, where a lot of time ago students went to study. Also, we are near a river called El Tormes which is quite large. We have more monuments such as the Roman Bridge or the fabulous Lis house. Also, this city contains lots of stories such as La Celestina or Lazarillo de Tormes, two wonderful legends that take place in different places of the city. Apart from this, we also had a great football team called Unión Deportiva Salamanca, but it dissappeared on 2013 and now we have two other teams, one with the same name as the old club and another called Unionistas de Salamanca. Another thing about my city is that we have a unique celebration called El lunes de Aguas in which that day's afternoon none one works and we get all together to eat a special meal, hornazo, which is a type of pie with different things inside, such as sausage. Leaving apart football, we also have a great female basketball team called Avenidas Perfumerías. Some of our famous persons are for example Vicente del Bosque, Miguel de Unamuno or Alfonso XI. I'm very proud of my city and I hope we continue doing it well. Finally, I'm very excited of having an oportunity to write and be part of this Topical Talk festival edition. Bye.

  • Hi there! I'm ingenious currant from Salamanca, Spain. Salamanca is a unique city, famous for its university and its icredible monuments such as the cathedral.

  • HI, I am quickwitted_knowledge. I am from a town in Egypt. Something you might not know about Egypt is the Lost Golden Macabre. It was discovered in a rich site in Saqqara. The macabre includes a 4300-year-old Mummy covered in gold which belonged to a man called Hekashepes. This is considered as one of the most unbelievable discoveries in Egypt. This showed everyone that Egypt was unique in mummification in the old era of Egypt.

    It is frightening, Isn't it? It is not since Egyptian became used to it. Here are some of the noticeable antiques found in the recently discovered Macabre.

    1. The Mummy which belonged to Hekashepes: Hekasheps' Mummy is known as the oldest complete Mummy that is covered in gold also there were golden bracelets and significant headbands. This indicated that he was extremely wealthy.

    2. The tombs: the tombs contained great statues, valuable wall paintings, amulet, pottery and tools. This gave us wonderful pieces of information about the lifestyle of the old Egyptians.

    To conclude, this discovery made Egypt sparkle like a star and this discovery is not only popular in Egypt but in the whole world.

  • hi im inquisitive_sparrow from a small town in Surrey called New Malden on the suburbs of London Living in our town there are lots of cafes,restaurants and culture. It is a lovely place to live and around 10 minuets away there is a lovely massive park named Richmond park and there is also Hampton Court palace just 20 minuets away. Its a short train ride away to central London which is a place you should put on you bucket list to visit! I love discussing problems that are happening today and love hearing everybody's opinions.

    1. Oh ok we are both in a small town but you have all things to do here.

  • Hi i'm quiet significance and i'm from Decatur,Georgia (in America).Something you might not know about where i'm from is a lot of people are scared of that place because there is a lot of bad activty there,but since my dad knows a lot of people there we're safe but they do have good food and schools,they might not look like it but they are.Oh and also you can go to arcades and there is also a science center there too! And plus its not that bad until you get to know the place.And I lived there for 8 years.The funny things about it is the traffic lights,the light would go to red then to green and to see the look on my moms face is hilarious.

  • Hi! I'm Practical_introduction from Downtown Atlanta Georgia in the United States of America something you might not know about where I live is that we live close to the airport. And if you go downtown we have cars that drive by themselves! We also have Georgia Aquarium, World of Coca Cola, and centennial Olympian park. But there are downsides like the traffic especially on Fridays.😒

  • Hello there , I am Considerate_ Explanation and I am in Atlanta from America and I love this place because you can get rich and be very smart. Also, you can buy valuable things like smart watches, phones, tablets, and laptops or a house, and a lamborghini plus, there are fun things to do here like playing in a park or swimming in the water. But one problem is that many police come because of violence in the city like robbing or shooting others but the government future will make other laws that will destroy all violence in the city. People are trying to work hard here to pay for car crashes and accidents so they could save you from paying a lot of money. And there are a lot of homeless people there that don't work and listen to the parents so if you want a good life, learn and follow directions to the parents. But it can be a good place here when you work hard and listen. Thanks for reading.

  • Hi I’m new and I’m so exited to talk to you guys, my name is accurate crow and I’m from England

  • Hi there I’m from England I’m happy to join you guys.

  • Hi everyone my name is lovable_market and I live here in U.S.A GA/Georgia Alanta and I really love it here because this is place where we have like free rights because not all places can go to school for free they have to pay for school but not here in Atlanta. All of my siblings have came to Northcutt and most of them have had one of my favorite teachers Ms. Taylor. My parents have told me a lot of good things about this place and most of the things they said were positive. Thank you.

    1. I agree because... I also love Atlanta. It is a very exciting place where you can visit numerous fun places with family and friends it is one of the largest cities in the United States and is also the capital of Georgia. Just be prepared for all the traffic!

  • Hi! I'm Jocular_Dusk from Orlu in Nigeria. But I actually live here in Atlanta Georgia. Something you might not know about where I am from is that there are multi millionaires and billionaires and people own mansions. There are even beaches there! Some people might think that Nigeria is a spoiled country but it is actually a very good country once you go there a few times. The sand, other boys and girls coming over to your house to play with you, and the yummy food already makes living there special. Not all places are perfect, but what you call home is already perfect for you. Now back to all of the amazing stuff Nigeria has so, when you go there during the holidays (especially during Christmas time) they will have parties and all kinds of stuff going on. Even if it's a month before Christmas, people in Nigeria are going crazy with buying Christmas supplies, food, and going back to relocate with their families and loved ones if they're living abroad. When they get to the village, people around you will be cooking food, playing music, dancing, gisting, and just having the time of their lives when they can. And when it is Easter time, I think people go to church and read the Bible during this time. I have gone to Nigeria two times now and both of the vacations were super fun. I got to see my cousins and play with them all the time. One of my cousins even came here before she went back to her home.

  • Hello! I'm grateful_rock and I'm from (Georgia,United States of America).I live near where North Clayton high school is being built,I also live near Williamsburg park.There is many different things going on sometimes good sometimes bad, one thing that love about where I live is the pool in my neighborhood which is really big and it goes to 5ft and how there is no payment for school.The light when going out of the neighborhood it stays red for about 2 minutes and then green for about 1 minute,thank you for reading.

  • Hi my name is ethical_ vegetable I'm from Atlanta Georgia and there is a lot of restaurants and food place but not a lot of malls in Atlanta Georgia as in other places .

  • Hi! I'm amiable_weaver and I am from a town called New Malden which is in South-West London. One thing you might not know about where I live is that it's very diverse and has a variety of cultures. One of the most prominent cultures is Korean culture. New Malden is home to one of the UK's biggest Korean communities which is why there are all kinds of Korean restaurants and shops. I am also located near Richmond Park which has a dazzling landscape and many things to see, for instance there are many deer and unique birds that can be observed there. Overall, I feel very thankful for living where I do and for all the things I can experience.

  • Hi I am quiet_ladder. I am African American but I came to London 2 years ago. Here are some fun facts. Did you know that London is very diverse, bearing 300 languages and did you know that the iconic London buses weren't always red. They were painted red in 1907. When I came here something that really surprised me was the amount of corner shops around. As the name suggests they are on literally every corner. Another thing I found amazing and super helpful was how there seemed to be a bus stop on every street. The only thing that disappointed me really was the lack of spices or the grey skies. Other than that it's awesome. Come visit!

  • Hi I'm Tony idk why my name is loving olive

  • Hello! I'm dazzling_solution from Forest Park, Georgia, located in the southeastern part of the United States. Something you might not know about where I live is that my city values cultural diversity and community engagement. Throughout the years, the municipal government has hosted events in the local park, inviting families from all over to enjoy local food vendors, trampolines, and performances!

    I would like to highlight and share my favorite experience thus far. During Hispanic Heritage, I attended their event celebrating the Hispanic community, which makes up over 20% of the city's inhabitants, according to the city's website. When I went with my siblings, we not only enjoyed the most delicious Mexican cuisine, but also watched traditional dances and took pictures with a stilt walker and councilmember, Hector Gutierrez! And, in the evening, the movie, The Book of Life, played on the big screen to be like an outdoor movie theater.

    Being able to immerse ourselves in our culture being represented to its fullest is what I value most about my city. It's truly a special experience that I hope you all remember Forest Park for!

  • Hi I'm composed_volcano from Honduras, something you might not know about where I live is that there is a lot of poverty here.

  • Hi I'm loyal bird. I am living in the United States of America in Atlanta Georgia, but was born in Malaysia.I came to America in 2016 and love America. I am excited to talk with people from around the world.

  • Hi! I am Curious_Chemistry from a small city called Cáceres, located in Extremadura, a beautiful autonomous community in Spain. Something you might not know about where I live is that Cáceres is one of the best preserved medieval and old towns in Europe, with ancient walls, towers and palaces from hundreds of years.

    Besides its history, it is also known for its festivals and traditions. For example, in Spain, every year people celebrate "Semana Santa" (Holy Week). And in Cáceres, it is celebrated with processions and music, which is a very important part of our culture.

    Also, Cáceres is famous for its gastronomy, which includes delicious dishes such as "migas", made up with breadcrumbs and garlic; "torta del Casar", which is a creamy cheese from the region; and Iberian ham, which is considered one of the best in the country.

    Finally, Cáceres is surrounded by a natural and beautiful landscape, with mountains and rivers. Some people enjoy hiking, cycling, or just spending time away from their houses. There are some natural parks outside the city, like the Monfragüe National Park, which is known for its varied species of birds and eagles and its amazing rivers where people enjoy fishing

  • Hello I'm from the USA more specifically in Georgia nice to meet you!

I can’t wait to hear about what’s been happening with you.😁

  • hey Topical Talks I'm from England Kent East Malling. we are thankful that we didn't have any problems with the water issues but Tunbridge well's did but I am grateful that we didn't have to use bottled water

  • Hi I’m Clever Pear from Kent, where I am there’s a lot of stuff to talk about like how the council voted to get cycle lanes near the traffic lights and it has caused so much traffic, confusion and chaos which has been really annoying. As most of the students at my school are arriving late as well as the teachers. Another thing that is going around is what people think about our new headteacher as most people in our school hate her as she has already changed the school so much. And l’m really sorry for the last school she was in as I guess they’ve suffered like us. The area I’m in is full of multi cultural events and shops, always trying to treat every person equally as that’s what we’re all about in this area. That all I have from this area in Kent Clever Pear out.

  • How's it going? Im Broadminded Tomato and i'm from Atlanta, GA in the United States. Something you may not know about where I live is that Atlanta is Coca-Cola's birthplace and was invented here. Another fun fact is that it was once illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sundays. I'm very excited to talk to everyone here and debate about things!

  • Hi I'm the great dedicated_bird I'm am from Decatur, Georgia but I moved. If you lived in Georgia you know that we only had 3 snow days since 2013 which is crazy to me if I say so myself. In Georgia you can come see the amazing skyline downtown, which is cool, and downtown you can see our GOLDEN dome state capitol which I took a picture there a long time ago. Georgia is one place to visit with famous rappers coming from here such as Future , 2 Chainz, Latto, 21 Savage, Lil Baby, and T.I. We have many fun activities to from Sixx Flags Over Georgia to ride many rides (My favorite is the Goliath), To the State Fair walk around with family riding horses and watching shows. I cant wait to see what Topical Talks help me learn new things and from people around the world.

  • Hiii! I'm valuable poem and I was born and raised in London but am originally from Germany. London is a very diverse city full of different cultures and traditions. It is also a city bustling with life and there is always something going on, from streets performers to musical. I read someone else talking about their roads always being under constructions and I can totally agree.
    Anyways I am so excited for the festival and being able to share ideas with the world.
    ..

  • Hi! I'm tenacious_seagull from Atlanta. Something you might not know about where I live is that Atlanta is known as the "City in a Forest," for it's dense tree canopies, and it has 70 streets named Peachtree. Also, Atlanta was actually named Terminus, and Marthasville at first.

    1. Hi! I'm willing_piano and I must say I never knew Atlanta was given that nickname and it's original name!

      1. Yeah, I just found out recently. Once you pay attention to things, you'll notice a lot more!

    2. Hello!!! Im dedicated_bird I'm so shocked I didn't know that my city had a nickname welp that's cool!

  • Hi! I'm inspirational_tsunami from Giza in Egypt. Something you might not know about where I live is that Giza is much more than the pyramids people see in history books. It's a lively city where millions of people live their everyday lives alongside some of the world's oldest monuments. From busy streets and local markets to schools, cafes and neighborhoods full of energy, Giza is always moving.

    What makes it especially unique is the contrast between ancient history and modern life. You can be stuck in traffic or walking to school while seeing the pyramids in the background, which is something people here often forget is extraordinary. Living in Giza feels like being surrounded by history while still being part of a fast-changing, modern city and that's what makes it such a special place to call home.

  • Hiii a huge warm welcome to all of you. My name is buzzing_painting and im from Nigeria and am currently living in the uk .As you know the uk and Nigeria are two complete different places and do thing completely different so it took me a while to understand and get used to everything.

    2. That's so cool about the BBC 500 words competition, it is such a great opportunity, and wishing you luck for round 3.

  • Hello, I'm ineffable_groundhog, funny name, right? I'm from Vancouver, Canada. Over here, we have a stunning blend of mountain and ocean views, that is, if the weather is cooperating. We are known as the Hollywood North to some due to the large film industry that lives alongside us. We have many exciting places to go to, Chinatown, one of the oldest in North america or to the Aquarium and science world, which helps teach the younger generations to be excited about learning. Culturally rich and full of amazing opportunities, I am so happy to call Vancouver Home.

    1. I agree because... I am one third Canadian but I am not really English, I just live there

      1. The UK seems like a great place, too. I have only ever been to london but from what I saw, it was beautiful. I loved the vibrant display of street performers. I went during Pride Month, and the parade was spectacular. The UK is definitely on my travel list when I grow up.

  • Hello! I’m quickwitted_journalist and I’m from London, UK. London has a very diverse culture and I believe there is something for everyone here! From restaurants, to museums, and parks, there is definitely so much to explore! It is very rainy right now, which is quite a well renowned characteristic of London. Something you might not have known, is that there are boats that take you across the river Thames and some people even take the boat to work every day! Some famous landmarks include the London Eye, Big Ben and the Shard. I’d definitely recommend to visit some day!

    1. It's definitely raining in London right now . . . .
      I also love the boards, have you been on one? What's your favourite London Landmark that you've visited?

  • Hi! My name is independent_musician, and I’m from Chennai, India. About the place where I’m from, you might want to know this,Chennnai is one of the places that will take their time to amaze you. It is one place where the day starts even before the sun rises. You would hear the sound of temple bells, the vendors calling out the newspaper, and the smell of filter coffee waving through the silent streets. The place is very traditional in nature, but the  creativity is in every corner if you take notice. You would listen to some traditional Carnatic music from radio in one house and The sea is always within reach and influences our moods, our talk, and even our silences. The people in this place can come across as a little introverted at first, but when they take a liking to you, the warmth is genuine and endearing. It is a place that is quietly, quietly beautiful a place that is layered and emotional.

To star our meal we drink Neer Moru(spiced buttermilk) and setimes we drink panagam ( traditional drink) panagam is like the traditional version of modern lemonade we drink ot because India is a very hot country!

    1. Hi bro! I am objective lemon .It is amazing to hear about Deal, I have been researching it and found out it is a famous Seaside city in kent in England.I learned about the Goodwin sands( The Dangerous sandbanks in the sea) because of these sands, many people who visit the area end up in danger, which is why there are so many lifeboats there . It shows that your community has many brave heroes.
      I also hear about The Walmer Castle has a famous cafe and beautiful garden because it is a historic royal home the king visits it.Is it true last year the king visited the city to just meet the lifeboat volunteers ?
      You know what In my home TamilNadu we have different forts but monuments in the North side, in thr city of Agra, a Mughal Emperor called Shah Jhan built Taj Mahal as a monument of love for his wife Mumtaz.

I am objective lemon I agree with you.It is amazing to hear about Deal, I have been researching it and found out it is a famous Seaside city in kent in England.I learned about the Goodwin sands( The Dangerous sandbanks in the sea) because of these sands, many people who visit the area end up in danger, which is why there are so many lifeboats there . It shows that your community has many brave heroes.
      I also hear about The Walmer Castle has a famous cafe and beautiful garden because it is a historic royal home the king visits it.Is it true last year the king visited the city to just meet the lifeboat volunteers ?

  • HELLO

  • Hi I’m shrewd_alligator and I live in Deal Kent in England. Something you might not know about where I live is that Deal is quite a small town but has some very interesting and relaxing sites: the seaside, the town-which is home to many shops-,the Castle (Deal Castle) and many more! There are people that come over on small boats called migrants who come over to our country because they may be in danger at their own or are at war. Our King is King Charles and he does the best for our country that he can possibly do.

  • Hi! I’m dedicated_dolphin 🐬from deal in Kent in England something you may not know about deal is it has wonderful views although they’re always working on the road 😓 you must go there for the wonderful ice cream from the ice cream parlour it’s delicious I promise 😋 and a lovely trip on the pier 🤩 it’s the best place to visit for a day out we have loads of shopping places and i swear I have no more money anymore 😒 . You really need to go there we have swimming pools gymnastics next to parks even tho it’s small loads of people live there 😁

  • Hi I’m knowledgeable_revolution and I live near Deal it’s a very lively community and I love all the events that go on here we support everyone we are also near Dover that also have events I really enjoy going to into the little town in the middle of Deal it’s got a different variety of shops and sometimes we have local people play music on a guitar or a saxophone but mostly people sing. I sometimes go into Dover for all the festivities but my favourite place to go is Canterbury because there is a lovely cathedral and shops to go in.

    Back to Deal,Deal is by a seaside sometimes on that we have migrants coming in from other countries.

    I hope you liked learning about Deal today.

  • Hello I am grateful_crow 🐦‍⬛and I am from deal near the coast
    And well you might not know this but most of the people in France come over to Dover docks and stay here because they like it
    But we are always doing repairs on the road (I really don’t know why) but if you are from abroad you are more than welcome to come and stay for a bit.But if you don’t want to it is totally up to you
    If you are interested in coming then I would suggest that you should come in summertime so that you get the best possible weather and so that you get the most comfortable time here but like I said if you don’t want to come down here then you don’t have to
    So that was me

  • hi speaking from Nigeria(motivated grapefruit)
    (ebonyi state)
    over here we have different type of things going on but i mostly want to talk to talk about the effort our government has put in places and is also backed up with the help of our state governor since they became our leader i have noticed changes like free education, reduction in the price of certain tangible material, free health treatment, and high employment level.
    they have not just done well by the provision of this material things but has made citizens know that leadership is not all about authority but comprises of the ability to always find a way to handle any issue at hand and trying to fit in to an environment you find yourself even if it is a bit hard.

  • Hello, my name is Cherished_currant. I live in Atlanta, Georgia. It usually doesn't snow here, but it snows sometimes. There's a thing in school that stops learning for the kids to have some fun, it's called "Specials". There are 3 options that you have to go through in the 5 days of school: there's music, art, and, lastly there's P.E. The weather is very confusing. First it's raining, then it's snowing. That's how confusing it is. How about you?

  • Hello, my name is peaceful_synthesizer. I come from Atlanta, Georgia. In Georgia, we have 3 classes in fifth grade(e.g social studies, science, reading), as well as a variety of 'Specials' like gym, art, and music. Also, there's a lot of different people here, everyone is unique where I'm from(e.g some loud, some quiet, some in the middle). Our usual food consists of vegetables, fruits, and stuff like chicken, spaghetti and meatballs, pizza on Fridays, etcetera. There's also a lot of random animals for some reason, one time I saw a turkey in my front yard, and also a duck near my school on the way home. How about you?

  • HI! I'm independent_earth, I am from metro Atlanta (the capital of Georgia) in the United States. Something you might not know about where I live is that it's a little hard to live here in Georgia. There are lots of snakes. there are lots of bugs (especially mosquitos), and kinda damp rainy seasons between spring. And I still thrive in them, but there are better things about Georgia (metro Atlanta), like a mix of affordability for people, cool geography from mountains to beaches, thriving arts and food scene (especially in Atlanta), rich history (like MLK jr, And Savannah), strong entertainment industry like film and music, Southern hospitality, major companies, and you even can be a tourist and visit Atlanta to see cool sea life from the Georgia aquarium!

  • Hi! I’m Prodigious Moon from 6th October in Egypt. Something you might not know about where I live is that people believe envy can bring bad luck , so they use the blue bead, salt, or paper doll. Here are some of the interesting traditions:

    1. The blue bead is an ancient Egyptian symbol used to protect against envy. People wear it, place it in the car, or hang it in the house.

    2. The paper doll is used to ward off envy. Names of envious people are written on it, then it is stabbed and burned to keep the envy away.

    3. Salt and seven beans: Some believe that sprinkling salt in the house or hanging seven beans for a newborn will protect against envy.

    4. The fisherman’s net is a popular tradition , especially in the city of Alexandria, where some people buy a fisherman’s net and place pieces of it on their door to ward off envy.

    These are a few interesting traditions in some families in Egypt. In my opinion, I find them all funny , and I wouldn’t ever really believe in them.

  • Hello legends, I go by intelligent_glacier from Rhemaville Christian Academy in Nigeria. My country is known for being the most populous black nation and I am really proud of that. It's a unique nation with diverse languages, but in our own way, we try to portray unity in this diversity. Although Nigeria has not yet reached her full potential, she is blessed with various things like abundant agriculture, natural resources and many more. I admire the coat of arms which signifies wealth, unity and strength. The upcoming leaders have visions to make our home a better place with innovative ideas and big dreams. With diligence and resilience, we will make Nigeria a better place for the next generations to come.

  • Hi! I am creative_temperature from Jos Plateau state here in Nigeria. It is truly a lovely place to be. The food, the people and their culture, the sights to see and even more. One of the many things I love about Jos is that fact that its cold most times of the year. I am someone who personally doesn't like heat so its just a plus.
    Next I want to talk about the amazing sights here. Firstly, Kurra falls. This is a stunning, beautiful and natural waterfall here in Plateau state. For people who definitely love sightseeing, this is the place to be.
    For all my foodies out there, I am sure you are going to love this part. The foods here are totally amazing, yes it might seem weird to most of you but that is part of makes this place the way it is. I am just going to stick to street foods because if Istart with the main courses I definitely wouldn't finish. Firstly, a meal in liquid form, Fura de Nunu otherwise known as millet balls with fermented milk. This is a very delightful treat that I would recommend to anyone whenever they come to Jos. It is thick and sweet for anyone with a sweet tooth. Another one is Awara maybe known as tofu to some of you across the globe. I might not be sure how it is served outside of Jos but it is a treat to the eyes and to the stomach. It is normally served with a hot and spicy pepper sauce we know best as yaji. Then I would recommend that you take it down with Kunu (it is a grain drink by the way). This combination makes my day so I suggest we all give it a try.
    I hope you all loved this short segment about my home place, Jos.

  • Hi I am in year6 Deal and deal is a wonderful place there is a sea front and a pier for amazing photos and arcade ice cream parlor and is known for there classic fish and chips

  • Hi I'm imaginative_effort and I'm in Kent (soth east of England) .Right now patients in hospitals are having to wait an unimaginable time and doctors are having to help patients in corridors.This is very bad for the patients hygiene as there are no medical machines in corridors and although the staff are keeping the hospital clean it is very unhygienic and the injury will most likely get infected which can spread through the body.There has been a major increase on colds throughout the UK and with the weather getting less and less reliably , the chance of people getting even more diseases is as expected very high high for the the people getting aided in corridors.
    When at school there are more of us which can let colds spread quicker which is why we all must not come to school if we are sick as the chances of it spreading are very high and you will not be getting rest , but just making it worse.Now that COVID is done I have seen many people thinking that it will not happen again and when they are sick it is nothing big and it won't spread and masks won't need to be worn, but there many rumors of how COVID started like from a rat or a fox but really it was just because of unsanitary things being done and those germs being spread made people have a distributed childhood and gave more pressure on parents to keep there children safe and COVID was a HUGE risk for for the elderly.Thats why you must try your best not to spear germs as people in the hospital have been put in a place which is filled with germs and that is why you shouldn't spread them to keep the UK clean

    1. How do you think we can best prevent spreading germs?

  • Hi , I am unparalleled_explanation and I live in Egypt , Giza , 6th of October city . And from what I saw my country , there is something interesting ...
    Egypt is really diverse : in some places you can see ancient history built with sweat of old Pharaohs like at the Great Pyramid which is considered one of the 8 world wonders confirmed by UNESCO .

    On the other hand , you can great modern cities with high tech levels as the ones from the Zoom meeting the festival made . An example is the foot ball with a board programmed to measure everything about the ball accurately to make matches fairer as if you are using AI instead of referees and one of these cities is Madinaty and Elsheikh Zayed .

    One other part Egypt is known for variety in is religions ; Egypt is known as an Islamic country but it also hosts many other religions with the most one known is Islam and Coptic christian .

    Egypt also is similar to united nations than a single country as in Egypt you can find normal citizens ( like me ) , Nubians , Berbers and a lot more .

    To wrap up , this was a short introduction for me with something I really like about my country , also I want to mention that I got my information / data from Wikipedia . I finally to ask something , are any of you topical talkers find something interesting in your country similar for mine ?

    Thanks

  • Hi, I'm Productive Desert from Vancouver, British Columbia. (Canada) In Vancouver, we have great weather, unlikewhat other people think (Raincouver), and the sports community is very active here. We enjoy a wide variety of cuisines, but Chinese cuisine is especially popular here! There is a great amount of diversity and religion, with everyone respecting each other and helping one another. There are lots of community-wide gatherings, and everyone looks forward to the next one because it's always a fun time!
    There are always cultural shops/markets, all trying to promote their own small business, so whenever you walk by downtown or Chinatown, it'll be bustling with life and prosperity.

  • Hi I’m independent _city and I am from Kent. About day ago I went to eco club and heard that 37 animals in the world are endangered ( this means that there are very few of them in the world 🌎). Some of these animals are Galapagos penguins and there are only 1000 or 2000 more of them. They are endangered because the food that they eat (fish) are dying. People in eco club have been spreading the news. We can stop this by stopping deforestation and use eco things like solar panels and not using fossil fuels which are things that you use to power a car 🚘. Thanks ☺️.

    1. You are right that animals are indanger.

  • Hi everyone! I'm succinct_apricot from Vancouver, Canada. Something you might not know about where I live is that winters here hardly every bring snow, even though I grew up imagining snowy mornings and snowball fights with friends. Instead, the city is usually covered in rain, green trees, and grey skies which makes winter feel completely different from what'd you expect. But its still full of life and surprises!!

  • Hi! I'm Assured Engineer from Vancouver, British Colombia (Canada). Something you may not know about Vancouver would be the nickname "City of Glass". This comes from all the high rise buildings downtown. A reason why we use so much glass is because of the regions mid climate letting it be cold enough. Although this leads to many rainy seasons. Vancouver is also called the Wet Coast, Raincouver, and Rain city because of how common it rains here. Some days I just wish it wasn't raining so that I could practice my sports in the backyard, but instead need to do a lot of extra homework just because I have a little bit of extra time.

  • Hi! This is Mesmerising Lychee and I'm from Vancouver, Canada.

    A cool thing about Vancouver is that we get a lot of rain!
    The rain is a great, because it washes over everything, keeping the streets clean and plants watered. Vancouver also has tons of palm trees, which is ironic as we don't get a lot of sun, but they miraculously thrive in these conditions! Vancouver is famous for Granville Island, with many attractions such as an tons of quant local artists, delicious seafood, and a beautiful oceanside view. Speaking of oceans, we have the Seawall, a stone pathway that snakes all around False creek, a splendid saltwater inlet with tons of marine life. Overall, vancouver is famous for our water, on land and below, and you should totally visit!

  • Hi everyone!! I'm Warm Hearted Melon from Vancouver, British Columbia Canada. Living in Vancouver, we have countless amounts of diversity. Every street you step on, you enter a new place filled with culture, food, and music. While also living in a beautiful area that flourishes with trees, flowers, and of course, people. However, when I'm out enjoying the greenery, I sometimes come across a burned down tree, which makes me wonder; who did this? In 2022, we had a wildfire near us, which caused us to receive lots of smoke, it was bad, really bad. I hope that Vancouver will still stay as green and beautiful as it is right now, but us humans will always be affecting it. Once nature is damaged, it's not super easy to fix, which is why we should still be taking care of our environment, as its not exactly indestructible. Taking care of the environment today like preventing fires is an important way to keep Vancouver beautiful for the people of tomorrow.

    1. Can you give some examples of other ways we can take care of the environment?

  • Hi! I'm zestful_plum from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada! Something you might not know about where I live is that in the spring we are known for our beautiful cherry blossom trees!

  • Hi! My name is intuitive_jambul. I'm from Jakarta, Indonesia. Indonesia is a really busy city with lots of street food. It's very hot here because its a tropical country. Indonesia has over 17.000 islands! Most people go to Indonesia for our street food. We have Nasi Goreng, a really common dish in Indonesia that I'm sure u have heard of. What makes it different from other versions is that they add sweet soy sauce to enhance the flavor. They also normally pair it with shrimp crackers. I'm looking forward to hear from everyone here!

  • Hey, folks! I am Proactive_Kiwifruit and I am from Vancouver, Canada. I live in the Dunbar Southlands area of Vancouver! I love it here. In Vancouver (unlike many other provinces), we have a great distinction between seasons. Here in Vancouver, we get the perfect amount of sun in the summer, beautiful red orange leaves in the fall, snow for about two or three weeks in February (plenty of time for snow days), and in the spring we get nice (light) spring showers. The only bad thing about the seasons here is the rain over Christmas holidays, it is ALWAYS RAINY! It is so rainy that I have heard some people refer to Vancouver as "Raincouver". Something that most people don't know about Vancouver are the historical sites from WWII. Basically, during WWII, what happened was Japanese Canadians in Vancouver were forced to live in internment camps after Pearl Harbour. this was really horrible and there are lots of historical sites from these events that you can visit to educate yourself about what happened. Once I visited an ex-internment camp (now it is a very nice town) with my friend and I learned quite a bit from the experience. If any of you visit Vancouver I would definitely recommend visiting some of these ex-internment camps because not only do you learn a lot but the towns where the internment camps used to be are really nice to visit.

  • Helloooo! I'm from Phnom Penh city in Cambodia (I'm a niche Asian). I really love my city, and it's filled with beautiful architecture, ranging from French to Chinese, depending on which area you visit. My favorite area of Phnom Penh is its center, with a landmark, which is literally named the Independence Monument. It's close to the Royal Palace, and has a lovely riverside, with European buildings! They also have a place called Walk Street next to the riverside, which opens every Saturday night, and you can by all sorts of street food (especially delicious desserts)! Another one of my favorite locations in the city is the French Institute, which has a thing called a 'Mediatheque', which has books, movie rentals and a gaming corner. It has a really nice environment, and I get a free membership, since I study French there! If you ever visit, I highly recommend coming over to this institute for a little break, or if you want to read French. Otherwise, there's lots of cool things to do, and I really enjoy it here! I hope to discuss lots of topics with you cool individuals! :3

  • Hi everyone! Today you are going to learn an intresting fact of Salamanca, where I live.
    Salamanca is known as " La ciudad Dorada" (The Golden city) and it has an enchanting reason .
    Salamanca´s main streets where built between the 12th and 18th centuries with a rural type of rock which name is "piedra de Villamayor" , a type of iron-rich sandstone which oxidizes over time acquiring a great golden colour which gives the name to the city.
    Your friends and family will be amazed if you tell them!

  • Hi! I' m from Salamanca in Spain. Something you might not know about where I live is there are impressive monuments. You can visit the University of Salamanca, one of the oldest University that continue preserved nowadays. It has an enormous facade, and the aim of all tourists is to discover where is the famous tiny frog.

    It has also more monuments, like the Shell' s House or the two Cathedrals. Salamanca is one of the unique cities that have two Cathedrals, and, they are called the Old one and the New one. This three monuments are all stunning and I recommend strongly to visit them.

    Salamanca is covered with cobbled streets, walking through the city it's like taking a walk in an old but at the same time amazing city.

  • Hi! I am talking from Southwark, London, United Kingdom, and in London, some really special things in this wonderful city, such as the London Eye, which is the biggest ferriswheel in the world and gives you an amazing view on the entire city. Another iconic part is how many staggering skyscrapers we have near London bridge the beautiful Parliament looks unreal from up close and with the shining lights at night in the shard is absolutely jaw-dropping from far away. The most iconic thing for tourists in London is probably the red buses.

  • Hi, im amiable_walrus from Jakarta in Indonesia. Something you might not know about where I live is, Indonesia was once the center of global for spices. In the 17th century the Europeans discovered that nutmegs, cloves, and maces only grows in Moluccas (Maluku and North Maluku) these spices were so rare and valuable that they were often worth more than gold because it was used not only for flavours but also as medicine during the Black death. So to secure their monopoly on spices the Dutch traded the island of Manhattan to the british for a tiny island in indonesia. But in the end the monopoly was too imposible to maintain, in 1770 a frenchman successfully smugled the seedlings of the spices. By the 19th centuries, spices are being grown in multiple parts of the world, their price dropped and era of the Indonesians global source of spices was over.

  • Hi! Im Talkative Dragonfly, and Im from Jakarta, Indonesia. An interesting fact about Indonesia is that our country has over 17,000 islands, which makes it the largest archipelagic country in the world. Due to the islands being so far apart, communities developed seperately for such a long time that it caused vast differences in language, food, accents, traditions, and more. For example, people in Jawa and Papua might not be able to understand each other because they speak in different languages. Each island's daily life can look very different as well. Some areas are very modern and fast paced, while others are more quiet and traditional. Our separation makes Indonesia such a diverse and culturally rich country, but it is hard to stay united when every island is so different. This is why we have "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika", Indonesia's national motto which means unity in diversity. Even though we come from different cultures and backgrounds, we are all united as one country. While every island has their own language, everyone learns our national language Bahasa Indonesia that is used across all islands. Thats all I have to say. Thanks for reading!

  • I think the most important skill will be creativity. I think this will be important during the Festival because it may help me come up with new and original ideas.

    1. How else do you think creativity will support answers in the festival?

  • Hello I’m mesmerising_fig it’s nice to meet you I’m from England

  • Hi I’m from deal Kent and I live in a small town it has lots of kind people and great facilities like a paddling pool and a soft play we are known for Dover was a key role during WW1. They come in boats and they are known as refugees or migrants that might have difficulties in there country and may even be at war! This means we have lots of visitors. I am rhetorical whale by the way nice to meat you and I’m excited to start talking to you!!!!!!!!!

  • hi hi!! im storytelling forest. i live in north jakarta, indonesia. living here, i can tell one thing about north jakarta. it can be a hussle since you can't really live a slow paced life around here, but you can make a bunch of friends and hangout here with the amount of malls they have. recently, north jakarta's been hit with tons of rain, causing 3 floods (theyre not the super tall floods or anything, but they can be kind of a struggle, especially in the lower areas.) in the span of 2 weeks and it's not going too well :p. at school, most of us go home early (even if it wasnt mandatory) and it makes our learning way less condusive. holes are forming on the roads and schools are going online again. also about roads, i actually love walking outdoors but because of the hottest climate ever and some of the sidewalks being barely walkable, we dont actually walk as often. something that i also love here is the culinary ^^. even if it can use a bit of exploring the area, you can find the tastiest foods for such a cheap price compared to those big fancy indonesian restaurants (although their food can also be good sometimes). food that you find often in the menu are soto, bubur (rice porridge), bakso (meatballs), and fried rice! these foods pair so well with the rainy season, especially when served warm. that's an introduction of only a small part of what north jakarta has, but i'll end it here. i hope you guys have a good day. bye bye!!

  • I’m diplomatic_cockatoo this is my 3rd ever comment and my favourite sport is dodgeball and also hockey and I like weekends cause I can rest or go play outside and ever since I started this topical talk thing I always like to comment and it’s fun to comment cause I can express my self and tell everyone something about me and here’s more my favourite thing to do is play Roblox and go outside and I also use this topical taIk thing to see what other people like and to find some cool comments

  • Hello I hope your all having a good day nice to meet you.I’m from the uk deal Kent.I’m Mesmerising fig

  • Hey I’m trustworthy _parrot , at the moment Kent has a lot of roadworks! ( basically everywhere ! ) from a driveway being re done or the roads being resurfaced there is always something wrong with the roads ! Also close to us is Dover , we have migrants coming in from all around the world . Bless them they have to get away from wars and horribly traumatic situations. Even some are younger than 3 . We try to be as welcoming as we can . We try to house them and get them a job so that they can build a proper life over here in England .

  • Hello I am from deal there are a lot of beach’s and castles there are two close to me and there is one in Dover when you drive in to Dover .climate change is a big problem because there are wild fires 🔥 and the jungle is shredding to bits animals are dying out tethered are going to go to extinction and zoos will lose money and I don’t want that to happen PLEASE SAVE THE WORLD

  • Hello, I'm fierce_effort from Sofia in Bulgaria, my country is really crazy with lots of drama going on, murders, corruption, etc.

  • Hi Topical Talkers! l'm charming_wombat from Jakarta, Indonesia's capital city, but not anymore. Our former president Joko Widodo announced the relocation of our capital city to East Borneo all the way back in 2019---which is in still in the works as we speak. East Borneo is overall more centered to all the islands in our country than Jakarta---our country actually spans longer than contiguous U.S! But, the main reason to this change is that Jakarta is literally sinking---very rapidly infact, as much as 10 to 30 cm. Our goverment tried many efforts to slowing the process down---whiched worked, but that cant be said and done, which is why they decided to relocate it. North Jakarta is sinking the fastest, being at the coast, it was reported up to 25 to 30 centimeters a year in somespots, making it a flood hospot. In January alone, there has been multiple floods, forcing me and all my friends to study from home, stuck in a screen again! Even with all this distress living in a city thats sinking, I really do hope for the best for my country, hope that the goverment will give its best efforts to make this happen.

    1. This sounds like a really challenging situation - thank you for sharing it on the Hub.

  • Hi! I'm invigorated_opinion from Jakarta in Indonesia. Something you might not know about where I live is the fact that everywhere you go, there's always a lot of roadside stall, which usually sell drinks and many kind of food, like satay and bakso, which I definitely recommend you to try if you visit Indonesia. Also, if you're driving, you'll also see a lot of sellers that sells many kind of things, varying from tissues to selfie sticks.

    Another interesting one is that our food tends to be too salty and spicy for foreigners. I had a cousin who live in New Zealand, and when she tried Indonesian food, she instantly said that it was really salty and spicy compared to the food there. This is because Indonesia is the fourth-largest spice producer internationally, and even commonly referred as the "Spice Island". One of the cons of this is that people in Indonesia have a higher risk of getting high cholesterol and cardiovascular issues, because many traditional Indonesia food is high in sodium and saturated fat. Still, I'm very proud of my country's cuisine. Even my cousin who said Indonesian food is too salty is now addicted to it!

Something you might not know about where I live is the egyptian museum and rinascimento museum that are the famousest museum in my city. In addiction my town, Turin, is famous for the strange bakery, like the croissant in the shape of monuments that are in Turin for example antonelian mole or in the shape of planet.

  • Hi! I'm indipendent_harp from Turin in Italy.Our city is known especially beacuse of its story and architecture.

  • Hi, I'm Willing Yuzu from north Italy.I live in Turin a bautiful historic city,with an amazing city centre where you can find fashion shops or anything you're interested in. Turin is situated in Piedmont where there are mountains,Pianura Padana, la Mole Antonelliana and the egyptian museum.I think here in Turin everyone knows eachother even if it's a really big city,this thing has good points,such as many parties being organised by teenagers where you can go,discos and go out with your friends,there are many activities to do here put I think it's still a city that's behind of it's time,it's not as futuristic as Los Angeles or New York or Milan,but, I still like it for how it is.

    I'd like to travel around the world and see the last 4 wonders that I haven't seen. Every year I travel somewhere and I'm grateful to my parents

  • Hi, I'm blithesome_lion, I'm from Turin, a city in the northern of Italy.
    I moved here like two years ago because I used to live near Milan.
    Turin is very famous for it's architecture and for it's egyptian museum, which is incredibly big..It's also well known for the fact that it was the first ever Italy's capital.
    Plus, It's way safer compared to Milan or Rome.
    The municipal government is investing a lot in this city to make it even more modern and eco-friendly.
    I think that this city is very "politically active" compared to other places in Italy, I always see a lot of adults and especially teenagers protesting in the city center for actually good causes.
    This city is very comfortable because you can easily go to the mountains to ski or to reach Liguria/an airport/train station from where you can take an airplane/train to go to the beach.

  • Hi, i'm lively_editor from Turin, in the north of Italy. Something you might don't know about where live is that we are famous for our food, like pasta, pizza and many other things. We also have lots of beautiful places, like the sea, the mountains, and stunning cities like Portofino, Rome, Florence, Naples and the Amalfitan Coste.

  • hi! i'm talented_turkey, i'm from Torino, in the north of Italy, my city is so beautiful, i love it, because it is close to the montains, sea, and hills, i love that! because i enjoing going on trips in the weekand.

My biggest dream is to travel a lot and fortunately i travel every year, in amazing place, for example Egipt, Cuba, USA, Canada and France

    1. Where is your favourite place to travel to and why?

  • Hi! I'm daring_drawing, from 6th if October in Egypt. Something you might not know about where I live is that English isn't that popular and in some places it is so rare to find people talking in English, like real good grammar English... In some popular places in Giza (my governorate) you can find the best Egyptian vibes eating beans and green burgers for breakfast, koshary for dinner, and molkhia and rise with some chicken for lunch. And also merge in with the Arabic songs and people and also explore more into the religion of Islam which is honestly really fun... I personally enjoy it so much, because I believe that Egyptian people and Egyptian culture is the best and kindest people and culture ever.

    But, on the other side of Egypt, you can find A LOT of people talking in English and and non_religious girls and toxic boys and scammers and so much more bad stuff which is completely unacceptable but, what can I do, I'm just a kid who participated in a competition to share my opinion around the world.

  • Hi there I am lemon from TamilNadu, something you might not know about where i live is that we are the ones to start the Martial arts. I want to share about our martial arts and how they change into these martial arts we see today. First we can start with Kalaripayattu, which is very famous in kerala nowadays but it has a long connection with the Tamil Sangam age. The history says that our Tamil prince Bodhidharman took the techniques of this ancient art from Kanchipuram to China which eventually became the Shaolin Kung-fu we see nowadays Next we have Silambam which is one of the famous and oldest martial art.It has been believed that the one who created it was Agastya, and it has been used by Chera, Chola, Pandiya kings to save their lands before weapons even existed. You all know about karate right? but it has been created using one of our legend martial art known as Adimurai. In Adimurai we use hands to fight with our enemies. Last but not least is Malyutham long before WWE or wrestling, we Indians created Malyutham. I want to share a interesting part of our history, Malyutham was very famous in Pallava dynasty and The Pallava King Narasimha Varma has a name called as Mamallan because he was a great Wrestler and he built a city and the city has been named as Mamallapuram in honour to his title. Guys like this in your Country do you have any famous Martial arts ? Share it with me.

  • Hello there! I'm Innovative Raisin from Jakarta, Indonesia. Living here is possibly better than what you guys think. Most people think living here is quite awful because of the crazy traffic, pollution, and the city easily flooded due to heavy rain.. But I personally think living here is awesome! There are so many malls, different kinds of food, and diversity here which makes it exciting to learn about our culture and traditions. What I want to talk about most is; many international people know Indonesia only because of Bali, some even think Bali and Indonesia are 2 different countries... As an Indonesian, here I am to talk about it. Bali; which has beautiful beaches, resorts, hotels and is multicultural, is in fact one of 17,000 Indonesian islands. What really speaks to me is how Bali is rich in cultures and arts (example: Kecak dance, wood carvings, Balinese paintings, Canang sari, Meru towers and so on). If you're a person who's interested in art like me, you should definitely try to take a look at Bali, it's the most art-coded island in Indonesia. Aside from Bali, there are also many underrated islands and provinces here in Indonesia, I would absolutely recommend you to try travelling around Indonesia to discover things about our cultures, we'll gladly greet and wait for you here. If you have any questions related to this topic, I’d be happy to answer them.

  • Hi!!! I'm versatile_morning from Nigeria, Plateau State. It's really nice living here once you get used to it.

  • Hi it gregarious pomegranate from Ebonyi state one thing you may not know about Ebonyi state bad road,water scarcity well our governor is improving on it.

  • Hello everyone, I am champion juniper from Rhemaville Christian Academy in Nigeria. I am Yoruba by tribe. Nigeria may not be the best country to live in but it is actually very lively. In Nigeria, we play many sports ranging from football, basketball, tennis, table tennis, etc. Personally, I love playing football and also watching it. It's my favourite sport. Based on my research, we have over 250 million people that live in Nigeria as of 2025, isn't that interesting?. I know what your wondering. (How did the name Nigeria came about?) Well, the name originally comes from Niger river which flows into the country alongside Benue. We have many resources like; oil, cocoa, tin, limestone, gold, iron ore, and many more. (I can keep listing but it would be quite long and I don't want to bore you). We are actually aspiring to be like a really cool country like US in the nearest future. Hopefully, I am going to make my country great with the help of my fellow Nigerians. Currently, my country is very interesting and enjoyable. It's very fun! Hopefully, I hope to see one of you people in Nigeria.Bye

  • Hi topical talkers,I am proactive_wasp from India, Tamilnadu, I am going to tell you the intresting areas and thing in India.The first place I am going to say is an unbelievable place I am using this word because actually can you believe that there is a post office that is still working in Dal Lake in Srinagar, Kashmir, India .There you can actually go with boat and post your letter there.You may think does there would be any village were there is know doors has been used,but it can't be done in a practical manner,but there is village in India were peoples build there houses , stores and including banks.You may think that why does the people do like this,it happens in the faith of lord shani,in this village there was almost no theif has been complained.This village is name is Shingnapur Village ,Maharashtra Ahmednagar.Most of the people think in India is a dirty area without hygiene but India has one of the 7 world miracles that is the most popular tajmahal.So topical talkers what do you think about India and Indians.India doesn't see caste and religion so, we the Indians like the honesty,friendship,and the generosity so much.It means India is so fun.

  • Hey guys, I'm energetic maths, I live in Kaduna, in Nigeria. If you'd like to know, in Nigeria, there are a lot of grilled meat, fish, and shawarma places. Nigeria is a very diverse nation with many cultural groups, and the roads are under construction as we speak, even though most of the other roads are still eagerly waiting to be maintained. The railways and train stations are of good maintenance and the airports are always up and running. Generally, it's a good place to be and I know the government always tries their best to keep up the society standards.

    This is my first time here and I am really excited to here from you all. I invite you all over sometime.

  • Hello every one I am positive theory from Kassie Braun Memorial School and I am very happy to be a part of this topical talk festival 2026 I hope I would inspire you with my comments and I will be very that you will learn a lot from my comments and thank you for reading

  • Hi, I’m trusting_lemon from Caceres in Spain. Something you might not know about where I live is that the tv series Game Of Thrones was filmed in Cáceres

  • Hello!!! I am compelling_orca from London! I love where I live, because there are so many wonderful green spaces, and wildlife! We have a very diverse community, full of so many interesting people! Though there are a couple misconceptions about London.... One of them is that it is always raining here, which actually isn't quite true. Yes, we have a very humid environment and particularly unpredictable weather patterns, but it is not always raining!! We actually have about 259 days of no or the tiniest bit of rain a year! That means we have less rainfall than Miami, or even Sydney or New York! We also do not have baked on beans on toast for breakfast everyday, though I think that that misconception was just a small one! Personally, I have never even tried baked beans on toast before! :)

  • Hello, this is super_wallaby, I live in Atlanta Georgia and I am in middle school, I am interested in countries I had never known what its like to live there, like Greece, is it warm or cold in Greece? why ancient things do y'all have or what history do you guys have?, do you guys have any popular buildings or places to visit?, if I ever flew to Greece, what places would y'all recommend and what food do you guys recommend me trying, I would like to know more about Greece and its history, here in Atlanta we have a coca cola factory that lots of people go to, you can try different kinds of coca cola's around the world and you'll see how coca cola is made, we also have an aquarium that we can visit and even spend the night, you can rent out a room and I was told there were like blue lights around the floor when lights are out and when you sleep, you can see the sea animals like the fishes and sharks, etc, Atlanta is a recommended place that you should go to and I would suggest going to the coca cola factory and/or the aquarium

  • Hello i like to go to the park to also you probably heard I like to go outside on my scooter so I can calm down from school my favourite thing about the park is the zip line it’s a handle one u hold onto it and you just hang on tight! It’s a fun thing to do I also like the tower in the playground it has a slide to and also my favourite thing about math is the 4 digit and 3 digit addition it’s hard but you can get the hang of it when you do it enough even I found it hard but I’m good at it now it can be a good thing to learn about because you can do more math questions multiplication though is harder because it takes alot of learning to master 4 by 4 or 3 by 3 multiplication that’s because it can be a long answer and takes time to do but it’s not impossible not really anything is impossible if you believe in yourself and be patient because it could take a long time to finish but if you believe in yourself u can master what’s hard! I hope that u have a great day and don’t forget to believe in yourself bye 👋

  • Being discussed at the moment is social media being banned for under sixteens so I thought I would put my thoughts on this .
    I think it could possibly be beneficial because let’s face it social media doesn’t always make you happy does it ?
    Although sometimes it can be our best friend it can sometimes be harmful. Maybe instead of completely banning social media maybe we could think about a way of introducing a time it’s able to be used and not used almost like downtime.

  • Hellooo! My name is Joyful_cookie and I’m from Cáceres, Spain. I’ve lived here for almost all my life, so I think that so I think I know enough about this wonderful city to tell you a little bit about it. Cáceres is in the south-west of Spain, so that means that in summer we are sometimes at 40ºC (or 120ºF) and in winter sometimes at 0ºC (or 32ºF), yes, I know is a BIG difference. In this beautiful city we have an incredible old part, surrounded by a medieval walls from the 12th Century. Inside the walls, there are a lot of palaces and noble houses as well as a lot of churches. When you walk inside the old part is like you were teleported to de Medieval Age. There is a lot to do here, like going to the cinema, going to football pitches (there are a lot) and also a lot of parks to stroll around and relax. I’m VERY excited to start having discussions with you. See you soon, BYE BYE!

  • Hello I am sympathetic_chocolate I am from Kent the town I live in is deal And in deal we have the sea front and lots of other things in Margate there is manston market were you can get fresh meat fresh fruit and new functioning toys and in school year 6 we have been learning about ewaste and algebra in maths in re we are learning about the Dead Sea scrolls and from what I can remember a man threw a stone in the a cave near the Dead Sea and he heard pottery jars smashing and that’s where the fragments of the Dead Sea scrolls was found

  • Hi Im free spirited_meanining and Im from Vancouver BC in Canada. Something that I think is pretty unique to Van is that It rains here a lot. Like every day. It often makes life tough but we have persevered and all bought rain coats and umbrellas. Also we are the closet city to Whistler the ski resort. If you have not heard about it search it up. The winter olympics were held here in 2010 and whistler was the main mountain that they held all the ski and snowboard races on. Lastly we are the warmest city in Canada which is really saying something since its goes down to -30 celsius right now. That's all for today in my hometown of Vancouver

  • Good evening from England happy Friday! Xxx

  • Hi I live in vancouver! (british coulumbia canada) living in vancouver and being on the coast has had a big effect on my life with easy beach access great trails being close to whistler is a great ideal place for a person to grow up having acess to skiing swimming and great walk and run trails. one of my favourite thing's from living in vancouver is the local football/soccer team the whitecaps wich I have been supporting ever since I was a baby. what im exicted about that is that thomas müller (german football/soccer legend) has agreed to sign for 1 more year with the whitecaps before he retires. it was like when messi moved to the MLS in our perspective. However a troubling matter with the whitecaps is their stadium issue. as they are renting out BC place they get no money from the concession's etc. there has been talks of transforming the old PNE horse track into a new stadium or moving the team all together to a diffrent location. thank you for listening to me

  • Hey topical talkers,
    Wish you are having a great week!!!

    I'm triumphant memory from Egypt. -I know a lot of stereotypes-
    For me it's been a busy week, with a lot of action around, traffic jams, and specially studying. If you guys were wondering what koshary tastes like (I would have had the the same thought) I would like to inform you that its something out of this world.
    If you are planning to come to egypt one day (I hope you do) please don't judge us. We have our country is divided into 27 parts, each with it's own ups and downs, a slight difference in dialect, and a totally different people. Where I live (Giza) we have a ton of gas stations, but unlike any other country, ours are extremely big compared to others, holding about 20 restaurants each (if not more!!!) . One of our differences that seperates us from other country is friendliness. Our people are so friendly, you would think you are at home. Another thing is the amount of stray animals we have. If I took a sneak peak from the window I would see 3 cats and 14 dogs just chilling around, without a care in the world. And that is pretty much it!!

  • Hello everyone! I'm Tenacious Map from Vancouver, Canada, otherwise known as the Hollywood of the north. Living in Vancouver, there are lots of places where you can connect with nature and experience delicious diverse food. Vancouver is well known for its breathtaking natural beauty, for example like the lush forests like Stanley Park, the mountains towering over our heads like Grouse, Cypress an Seymour mountains. Some times when locals are lucky, overlooking the horizon of the pacific ocean you can spot an orca or a humpback whale popping out of the water to take a deep breath of the fresh air, a seal swimming about its day or an adorable otter trying to catch some fish. When I was living close by the water, otters would sneak into our yard and take a swim in our pool since it's heated. Ridiculous right?!! . Additionally, our fresh caught wild salmon is immaculate, whether its grilled, smoked or served as sushi, this local delicacy is a most try when traveling here. There are some downsides of living here as well. Occasionally, racoons would dig into the trash of local neighbourhoods and bears would casually stroll across the street and would scare the living crap out people. To conclude, I couldn't be more grateful to live in Vancouver, Canada, plus I hope you guys from different countries could experience this stunning city.

  • Hello! I'm highspirited_fruit from Ebonyi State, located in the south east of Nigeria. Ebonyi State is known for its peaceful communities, fertile land and strong farming culture, especially Rice, yam and cassava production. Many people here are hardworking and closely connected to their families and traditions.
    Where I live, life is generally calm compared to big cities. People value education, community cooperation and respect for elders. News people often talk about includes in roads development, education, agriculture and job opportunities for young people. Even though there are challenges, people in Ebonyi State still remain helpful and focused on building a better future.

  • Hi! I’m independent_musician from Chennai, India. Something you might not know about where I live is that Chennai is a city that speaks softly but remembers everything. It doesn’t rush to impress you; instead, it lets time do the work. Old banyan trees watch over busy streets, conversations stretch over evening tea, and traditions quietly coexist with change. One moment you hear classical music drifting from a window, and the next you see young people rewriting their futures in crowded buses and late-night study rooms. The heat teaches patience, the monsoons teach humility, and the sea teaches perspective—it reminds us that no matter how loud life gets, there is always something bigger, calmer, and constant. Chennai is not just a place you live in; it’s a place that slowly shapes how you think, wait, and grow.

  • Hi there,I am lemon from TamilNadu and I going to share my experience from my village, You know about Handicrafts right? In my village, people used to do handicrafts for their livelihood. Something you might not know about where I live is that we are famous for ou handicrafts especially for our Pottery(Mat pandam). We Indians started making pottery before even modern technology existed,We started pottery during the Indus Valley civilization and it has been proved by our Archaeologist who found ancient pottery in Adichanallur and Keeladi sites. In ou ancient Tamil literature Manimegalai it is mentioned who do sand related work are called Mannitallar. We Indians have very traditional techniques to do pottery, First we take Kaliman(Clay) which is collected the day before.We dig a hole, fill it with clay, add water and let it soak for a while then we add a little bit of Sand and Sambal(ash), mix it well and place it on the Thiruvai(potter's wheel). After shaping the pot we use a thin thread to cut it from the base. We sun-dry it for a day when, the pot is semi dry we turn it upside down and use a wooden tool called Tatupalagai to cover the wholes in the back. Finally, we bake the Pots for 4 hours straight at 800°C.If you cook in a clay pot, it tastes amazing. We Indians believe cooking in a clay pot lets you feel the real taste of food. It is proved food cooked in a clay pot will not spoil soon and will easily digest. Also if you drink water kept in a pot you will have no disease because it is naturally filtered and cooled. And I'm intrested to hear your traditional handicraft

  • Hello topical talkers i live in Egypt, in Giza Governorate, but my parents are from Upper Egypt, But we currently live in Giza.


    They always tell me that Upper Egypt is very beautiful and has amazing natural scenery and stunning, beautiful plants


    But it also has a very negative side, as there they used to marry off children, especially girls even if it was illegal they still do it they were exploiting children. The girls actually can't talk or even say there opinion because they were afraid from their family. All of that was because of Money They use children for money! it's absolutely unbelievable how they have no mercy. there is also a significant disparity between men and women, which is completely unfair. Boys have the right to do everything, go out, and live freely, but women don't even have the right to work; they are only expected to care for their children, cook, and clean.

    But that was a long time ago; these topics aren't as common now, but they were very prevalent back then. Thank you, I just wanted to share some details with you.

  • Hi, I am fabulous_brain from October City in Egypt.
    I’m going to tell you some strange behavior rules that we follow, and we don’t even know why we do them.

    If you visit someone at their house and they give you a drink, you must leave a little juice at the end, even if you really want to finish it.

    If you are getting married, you have to buy a china cabinet. You put plates, spoons, forks, and knives in it. But the strange thing is that you must never use them.
    There is only one condition: if someone < he/she have to be an important person >comes to visit you, you can use them and pretend that this is what you normally use every day.

    When you do something wrong and your mom tells you not to do it again, you might get hit in the face with her slipper.

    When you are being chased with the slipper, even if you try to run, the slipper seems to have a radar. You will get hit anyway. Don’t even try.

    Thanks for reading!

  • Hello topical talkers, I am from a town called Hadaek Al Ahram. Something you may not know about where I live is that there are many building that are being constructed and this is so horrible. In 2020, the Egyptian government stopped construction so that it could organize buildings and if any one constructed, there would be violations on him. This situation continued until 2025, when the Egyptian government allowed construction again. This contributed to a great pressure in construction and hundreds of buildings were built at the same time. Also lead to smoke and dust in the air which caused air pollution.

    How is air pollution so harmful?
    Construction produces a lot of toxic substances which then are spread in the air moreover this is causes air pollution. people who suffer with sinuses (inflammation in the nose) like me are harmed. When we inhale small particles of sand or dust, we get severe headache and a lot of mucus is produced. Pregnant women can be affected too. Air pollution can cause asthma, Lung cancer, and respiratory issues. It can also lead to climate change.

    I hope that we reduce construction building in my town and build gradually, not all at the same time.

  • Hi topical talkers! I'm charming_wombat from North Jakarta, Indonesia's capital city, but not anymore---right now Indonesia doesn't have a capital city. Our former president Joko Widodo announced the relocation of our capital city Jakarta (on the island of Java) to East Borneo, Indonesia spans longer than contiguous U.S, so it would make sense to place the new capital in East Borneo which is overall more centered, easier for all the other islands to access. But, the main reason to the relocation is that Jakarta is that Jakarta is literally sinking---very rapidly infact. Our goverment tried many efforts to slowing the process down---which worked, but we can't rely on these efforts only. North Jakarta is taking it the worst than the other regions in Jakarta because we are at the coast. (According to a BBC article) 95% of North Jakarta is bound to sink in 2050. This article is from 2018---but it is apperent that it hasnt gotten much better, it was reported that we are sinking by 25-30 centimeters in somespots. In January this year alone, there has been multiple floods. As someone who is living in North Jakarta, these floods are very alarming---rain pouring nonstop. We had to go home early a couple of times because the water in the gutter started overflowing outside our school---it was very hectic, going home at 10am when we just started school at 7am. And now, we back with online school, stuck in screens again. I really hope the situation will get better for us here and the goverment will fix up all the damage that has been done.

  • Hi there, I am lemon from TamilNadu and something you might not know about where I live is that we Indians have a concept where we use Food as Medicine(Unave Marunthu) First before going to the main concept you should know about the humors in Siddha Medicine we have three concept system called Vatha, Pitha, Kaba. For Vatha the Scientific name is The Nervous System, For Pitha the Scientific name is The Endocrine System, For Kaba the Scientific name is The Anabolic process. First I want to start with spices which in India we use to cure different problem. We can start with Milagu(Black Pepper) In an ancient Tamil Literature called Agathiyar Gunavagadam it mention Milagu as Kabanashini(destroyer of mucus) we use Milagu to cure Respiratory Related Problems such as Cold & Cough and it has been scientifically proven because it contain piperine. Next is Turmeric(Manjal) In each and every Indian home you can't spot any food item without Turmeric because it contains Curcumin which destroys Pathogens in our Skin. Turmeric is also an Antiseptic which we use to cure our cuts. Also in Tamil literature it is called Kirimi nasini(germ killer). And we have Cumin(Jee ragam), It contains Cuminaldehyde which help us digest easily. Also, in TamilNadu we put cumin in water because it help us to clean our stomachs. In Tamil literature it is Pitta Shanti because it calms the metabolic fire in our Stomach. Finally , we have Fenugreek(Vendhayam) it contains galactomannan because of this it absorb the excess acid and blood sugar. That's why Diabetic People drink Fenugreek water. Thank you!.

  • Hello! I´m Energetic_yuzu from Cáceres in Extremadura, Spain. Cáceres isn´t a very big city, but it´s incredibly beautiful and interesting. Something you probably don´t know is that its old town (which has Roman origins) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has impressive medieval towers and very very high ancient walls. When you enter in its old town, it feels like stepping back in time, as if you´ve traveled 800 years. That is why famous Spanish TV series like Game of Thrones have filmed some episodies here.

  • My name is curious_science and I am a Nigerian. I live in Jos city located in Plateau State and this is situated in the North- Central region.

    I love Nigeria, especially Jos because of the warmth of the people, culture, learned morales and because it is a part of me.

  • Hi there! I am lemon from TamilNadu Something you might not know about where I live is that tomorrow, 26th January 2026 we are going to celebrate our 77th Republic Day. Many people may have a doubt about what Republic Day actually is. We celebrate it because on January 26, 1950 because India officially became a Sovereign Republic. This means we stopped being a Dominion and started following are own set of rules. The Foundation for the Republic Day was laid by the Constituent Assembly and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar is honoured as The Father of Constitution because he was the one who takes the important role of writing the Constitution. On this very same day, Our First President, Dr. Rajendra Prasad took his oath of office. the date January 26 was specifically selected because on that day in 1930, The Indian National Congress declared Purna Swaraj(complete Independence). Our leaders wanted to honor The Brave 1930 declaration so they waited until 1950 to officially start the Constitution of India. Indua has a ritual where on the Republic Day we will invite the Leaders of another Country as a Chief Guest. The First Ever Chief Guest in 1950 was President Sukarno from Indonesia. You now what? Jawaharlal Nehru and Sukarno were very close friends.Our India helped them during the Independence struggle and they finally got their Independence on December 27, 1949 just one month before our first Republic Day . thank you!

  • Hi! I'm Centered_hyena from Cáceres in Spain. Cáceres has a amazing old part and streets with huge and high towers that perserves ancient walls. The most important food here is the Torta del Casar , iberian ham and typic sweets like perrunillas. To be honest, Torta del Casar is very delicious although iberian ham is better. The traditional costume contains millions of colors and differents shapes, with its typic hat Montermoseño use to dance his popular song, El Redoble.

  • Hello! I'm content_emotion from Cáceres (in Extremadura, Spain). I love stories so it seems appropriate to share with you all a tale from Cáceres. The Mansaborá in a nutshell: In 1229 when Cáceres was in the middle of a siege the Moorish princess (daughter of the ruler) and a christian captain fell in love. Mansaborá (the princess) showed him a secret passage, so they could see each other but the christian used it so the Christian troops could capture the city on April 23, St. George's Day. When his father found out, he turned her into a golden hen as a punishment, who roams through the underground channels of the Alcazar. The legend says that every night of the 22 of April to the 23 she wanders around the old town and can still be seen.
    This is the reason why we have the tradition of hiding two golden hen figurines in the old town during 5 days (around the 22 of April) and if you find one you get a big price. Do you have any stories like this one from your hometown that you would like to share?

  • Hi I’m diplomatic_cockatoo here’s a fact did u know by the year 2050 our stuff we threw away on the beaches or land would have tripled so to stop that we should throw them away in garbage bins instead of throwing it on the floor bye 👋 hope u have a great day!

  • Hi, everyone! I'm affectionate turtle from Cambodia. Cambodia is famous for a temple called Angkor Wat. Angkor Wat which was originally built as Hinduism temple, but it has been changed to Buddhism temple by a king called King Jayavarman VII, and has been even on the UNESCO world heritage. Even except Angkor Wat, Cambodia is full of beautiful temples! Hope you can visit Cambodia one day.

    But did you know that Cambodia has been through a serious conflict with Thailand? This conflict was caused by France not making the border lines clear after its colonization. This conflict has been ongoing since French colonization in South East Asia ended.

    Thailand started military attack to Cambodia asserting that it's because their soldier got injured due to the landmine that Cambodia put near border area. However, landmines in border area were put there a long time ago. We are not sure if the have been laid by Cambodian military force nor even that the landmines were actually there. This conflict led more than 100 Cambodian people to death and more than half of a million displacement. They even took a military attack to one of our sacred temples, Preah Vihear resulting a collapse of the temple. Although we made a peace deal with U.S. and ASEAN, it's not fully resolved yet and it's still a fragile peace.

    I know that this would seem too long to be a hello message, but as a person who lives in Cambodia I really want you and people in other countries to be aware of this situation too. Cambodia is a weak country compared to Thailand which needs help from other countries.

    1. Thank you, and welcome along! I visited Angkor Wat at sunrise about ten years ago and it was indeed beautiful.

  • Hello there I am interesting cookie and I leave in Nigeria. Most of the things people don't know is that Nigeria is an undeveloped country where leaders are corrupted to the extent that both the poor and the rich are not comfortable and there is scarcity of resource because of our bad leaders. Nigeria is was a good country during the reign of Goodluck Jonathan which is among the noble men of integrity. Another criteria that makes Nigeria undeveloped is that our leaders are not elected fairly. So candidate after election goes back to the pulling unit and then sort there selves out so they can become that post which there are looking for. But in the other aspect Nigeria is a good country because of our food,our natural resource which where exploited during the days of our fore fathers.
    Thank You

  • Hi my name is credible _photograph from Ebonyi in Nigeria what you may not know about my state of is that we are the salt of the nation and our history goes back to 3000BC and the first computer engineer in the whole of west Africa is an Ebonyian

  • Hello, I’m terrific_buffalo from Cáceres in Spain.Something you might not know about Cáceres is that we have one of the best preserved medieval old towns in Europe, so walking through the city you can feel like stepping back in time. I’m excited to be part of the Topical Talk Festival and to learn from people all around the world.

  • Hello! I'm inspirational_mulberry and I'm from Caceres (Spain), Caceres is such a relaxing place and we also have a lot of nature around! (wich could be pretty boring for a beach lover but it's actually really nice).
    It's true that we don't have many malls or big shopping centers but we do have many other things that make it a worthy place to live in such as our natural parks and all the activities that you can do there or our wildlife (great for the animal lovers). That said I hope you enjoy this topical talk festival as much as I will !

  • Hello! I´m generous_thought from Cáceres (Extremadura, Spain). Live in Cáceres is great but there isn´t much to do in your free time. Cáceres is kind of old because it was founded in 35 b.c. In my town have lived different civilization such as romans, muslims or Crhistians. It has an amazing old part. The town isn´t to big, 100000 people live in Cáceres.

  • Hello! I´m phenomenal-dragonfly from Cáceres in Spain. Cáceres is a very beautiful and historic city, which is what makes it special. It has a very well-preserved old town and is surrounded by nature . In addition, scenes from the series Game of Thrones were filmed here, which makes it even more special. The weather is usually good here, although the summers are hot. For me, the only problem it has is that it doesn´t have a beach!

  • Hello everyone!! I´m stupendous_artic_fox from Cáceres, Spain. Something you might not know about where I live is that we have very delicious food like Iberian ham, Torta del Casar chesse and Migas Extremeñas (fried breadcrumbs). We also have a very beatifull old town that is our main square, it has a lot of interestings building and each one have his own story. One thing you need to know is that a part of a very famous saga called Game of Thrones was filmed her in our old town. Finally I´m going to talk about siesta which isn´t really a tradition of Cáceres is a tradition of all Spain, the siesta is a nap that we took after eating lunch to take energy for the rest of the day, if you try it once you will not can stop. This is all about Cáceres. If you have any questions, fell free to ask me.

  • Hello ! My name is honorable_explication I am from Cáceres in Spain and a thing that maybe you dont know of this incredible city is that is was procamated "Patrimonio de la Humanidad" by the European Union in 1986 .

  • Good evening!!!!

About where I live... It´s just beautiful and a really comfy and peaceful city. As well as that, it´s a very green town. I wish I could visit every single spot in this world!!!

  • Hi!! I am empowered_nectarine from Cáceres, Spain. I think my city is a little out of the way from the world and it is a petty because we have a lot of good things like our delicious food and our original traditions. Cáceres is considered a city but it is like a big village and it is unique because we have our Old Town Part that transports you to medieval times, sometimes when we have festivals they bring little stalls of food, clothes, toys for kids etc and in winter they place the ice rink in which we have so much fun. Our city is full of nature and animals, we have a lot of parks and there is one in specific (which is my favourite) that is entirely covered by plants and you can see squirrels; dogs with their respectives owners and a lot of different birds flying with their beautiful winds. That remainds me that if you come to Cáceres in spring you are probably gonna see storks, because they come here to have their chicks and that is impresive for me.

  • Hi! Im tough_ferret from Cáceres, in Extremadura Spain. Im sure you know sapin as a hot country, with paella, sevillana and a lot of flamengo music. But Im sure you dont know some hide fun facts about spain. The first is that we tend to eat more late like in other countries, second is that when we see a person (that we didnt see in a long time) we say "we are in contact" but we never send a message. And the last one is that spanish people hate catalunia, because of the lenguage or they way we think ( although we are the same country). And thats it! Hope you like it!

  • Hi!, I’m grateful_cliff from Cáceres in Spain. Cáceres is recognize by be a old town, its really cool, you can find Roman, Moorish, Gothic and Renaissance architectures. A curious fact: Cáceres was filming location for Game of Thrones, a very famous series.

  • Hello! I am storytelling_contex and I'm from Caceres (Spain). Caceres is not a big city with lots of things, but, did you know that one of the most famous series was recorded here? I am sure that you have heard about "Game of thrones", and some of the most iconic scenes of the show were recorded here. You can see the "arco de la estrella" when Euron Greyjoy cross it riding a horse with his prisioners while a crowd applaudes him. Before reading this maybe you thaught that you've never seen my city, but maybe right now you realized you've actually seen it before i told you.
    Another thing that i think that you don't know about Caceres is that it has a "hidden" garden in the centre called "Garden of doña Cristina de Ulloa". This little garden is a hidden gem, it is the perfect place to go when you want to dinconnect and relax.
    Even it's a small city, Caceres has this little things that only a few people know about and this is what makes Caceres an interesting city to know about.

  • Hello! I live in Caceres, Spain. Caceres is a marvelous city that not that much people know, but I don`t understand why. Here you can do a lot of things, you can go to several restaurants, go to the mall to get your favorite clothes or, personally my favorite, just take a walk over the old town. Going to the old town feels like being teleported to the Middle Ages, in fact, Game of Thrones was filmed here.
    But Caceres is not just its old town, you can also taste incredible food, like ham, potato omelette, and more. Also, in the last year, a lot of fun centers had open, with big slides and trampolines, so you can spend a great time with your friends there.
    Caceres is not a big city, so you can feel comfortable walking through its streets, here the people is very nice and they will always try to help you.

    1. where you come form sounds interesting, and i love the fact that i hear people are nice there i hope one ill come visit if opportuned.
      i come for Nigeria and people here are nice too! in fact it is very fun to be here, we have nice restaurants too with nice chefs that will make you have watery mouths before consuming the delicacy. Also there are interesting things here too, beautiful hotels,museums, and comfortable houses . come visit.

  • Hello I'm charismatic_twilight from Cáceres in Spain. My house is surrounded of trees and planta, I love this because I like the animals and the vegetation. Cáceres has an important things, the old part that I love It.

  • Hi,I am Respectful_cherry.I am from Cáceres,Spain.Here there is a lot of culture and nice people.

  • Hi! I'm secure_sparrow from Cáceres in Spain. Something you might not know about where I live is that in the most important parts of Cáceres there are letters of different colors that form the word Cáceres.

    1. Im really glad that you shared that with me, i never knew that about spain it sounds really impressive and cool to learn👍👍👍👍

  • Hi! I'm fair_starfish from Cáceres in Spain. My country is usually known by its delicious food and awesome climate but something you might not know is that people live happily here. We aren't characterized as being sad people; on the contrary, we are generally friendly, expressive and have a great sense of humor. Cáceres is a small city in the western part of Spain. It has an old part, a historic town that is a World Heritage Site. Besides, Cáceres is a quite calm and safe place where there are lots of cultural and musical events such as museums, festivals, concerts, theaters... We always have something to have fun with!

    1. It sounds wonderful!

  • Hi! I'm Resilient King from 6th of October city in Egypt. Egypt as a whole isn't just about Pyramids and history- although those are amazing and we're very proud of that. It's also a place full of life, laughs and strong family bonds (talking to you from my grandparents' house). People here are very friendly and love helping each other, and food is a big part of how we show love. Although life here can be loud and busy, but it teaches you how to be patient and strong (this is why I choose this username). Here, you see different social levels living close to each other, and that makes you more aware of the world around you. We have a crazy mix of energy. The streets are always buzzing, kids playing football anywhere they can, and the smell of good food is always in the air (I just realized this is my second time talking about food and it seems that I'm hungry!).

    1. I would love to come and visit - it sounds like a brilliant place!

      1. It is! We'd like to have you here and show you around. I'm sure you'd love it.

  • Hi! i'm reliable ant from ebonyi state in Nigeria. Living in ebonyi state, you can enjoy some native delicacy like: party jollof rice, garnished fried rice,Amala soup,Egusi soup. If you have a taste of any food from Nigeria especially from my state you might begin to wonder why our food tastes so fabulous, this is because we are rich in salt that is why we are called" salt of the nation", not only that we are natural chefs that are highly talented with handling things you can find in the kitchen for cooking. We are rich in soil minerals, manure and enough lands for building. We posses some culture like; new yam festivals, local wrestling, a different specific day we celebrate mothers, fathers, teachers, and children world wide, and a specific day when every family celebrates themselves. we give it a specific name like this( your surname)'s day. you need to visit and see for yourself.
    thanks

  • Hey there! I'm Obsevant Cherry, and I come from Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, a country known for its rich culture, diversity, and natural beauty. Surprisingly, many people around the world are still unaware that Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia. Instead, they often assume that Bali is the capital, or even believe that Bali itself is a separate country . While Bali is indeed famous for its stunning beaches, unique culture, and tourism, it is actually just one of Indonesia's many provinces.

    Jakarta plays a very important role in indoensia. As the center of goverment, politics, business, and the national economy. Jakarta is a bustling metropolitan city where modern skyscrapers stand beside historic buildings that reflect Indonesia's past. The city is home to people from diverse ethnic groups, cultures, and backgrounds, making is a true symbol of Indonesia's rich diversity. You can hear various local languanges, taste food from all regions of the country, and experience different traditions all in one city.

    In addition, Jakarta offers more than busy city life, with historical landmarks, museums, cultural centers, traditional markets, and modern malls. The city is also reflects the daily life of indonesians from hardworking office workers to street vendors and artists showing how tradition and modernity and blend together.

    Through this introduction, i would love to help friends from outside indonesia get to know Jakarta more deeply, not just as a capital city, but as a vibrant, complex, and meaningful place that represents the heart of Indonesia.

  • Hi I am enterprising_banana I am from Usa Atlanta a fun place to go is fun stop

  • Hello im charismatic_ hippopotamus and im going to tell you some interesting things about where I live, firstly I live in Cáceres, Spain, a wonderful city where there are a lot of places but my favourite one is the old town , its little but beautiful where you can enjoy a lot with your friends and family. An interesting fact about where I live is that many series or movies have been filmed here because it looks like a medieval city .In Cáceres there are a lot of restaurants where you can eat a lot of good food , I recomend you to try Torta del Casar if you are a big fan of cheese, i dont really like it but a lot of people say that is delicious. People come to Cáceres to try new things and lern about our culture, history and thats fantastic.

  • Hi everyone, I'm passionate journalist from Jakarta, Indonesia. For me, Jakarta is a wonderful city where you can explore many different things wether it's traditional or modern.
    This city has many cultures, such as traditional foods, regional dances, traditional house, regional songs, and many more. Here we have various traditional foods such as Soto Betawi which is soup that contains coconut milk, beef, tomato, and potato (this is my personal favourite traditional food), Kue Cucur (fried cake made from rice flour and brown sugar), and plenty more. One of the regional songs that I like from this city is Kicir-Kicir because it has a very beautiful melody and meaningful lyrics. This song invites us to live happily, work enthusiatically, and be useful to others even though we're having a bad day. The most popular regional dance is Ondel-Ondel. It is the icon of Jakarta, a gigantic doll made of decorated bamboo and serves as a repellent of negative energy, but now this dance is more of an entertainment. Last but not least is the traditional house called Rumah Kebaya. This house is made out of woods, bamboo, and stones.
    Besides the traditional side, Jakarta has also developed into a modern city with massive infrastructures, skyscrapers, integrated transportation, and the appplication of smart city. Now we can also pay with QR code instead of cash.
    There's just one thing that I don't like from the city. It's the traffic jam. It could take hours just to be stuck in the middle of the road. Overall, I really enjoy living in this city and I hope I can explore more things here.

  • Hey topical talkers I am from Egypt the land of gold. Actually Egypt is so famous withe the piramds and the Nile rive.

  • Heyy there. I hope not too late for this. I'm allowing _region. I'm from Chittagong, Bangladesh. Something you might not know about where I live is that this was the Portugal's main stronghold for decades. During that time, apparently,they were impressed by the harbor so they named it "The great port of Bengal".
    Their arrival had put a great impact on our culture and language.
    Also, although this area was a part of "The Arakan empire", there are still debates about it.

  • Hello I am amazing_cymbals and i live in scotland where the Chips are amazing do you like chips?

  • Hello everyone, I am blissful_theory from west Africa Nigeria, Plateau state, Jos. I am living in a county in a country that has 6 geopolitical zones and has a group of very diverse cultures and norms, and all those cultures are broken into three which are the Igbos, Yoruba and the Hausa. Being a citizen of such a wonderful country has thought me how to behave properly in crowds and so many things and how to respect our elders in Nigeria there are so many diverse food that I cannot mention all of them but let me give you examples suya, jollof rice, fufu, moi moi, chin chin, zobo etc. that is one of the major reasons I love my country except from family because we are all because of family. The government is struggling with corruption we are trying to face it as a country. THANK YOU

  • Hey there! I'm invigorated_opinion from Jakarta, Indonesia. An interesting fact about Jakarta is probably the recent flood. Our government has predicted that there will be extreme rainfall, and had issued for the public to work at home and for students to homeschool. Fortunately, our government has did some precautions. They tried to do weather modification (cloud seeding) over the sea or at nearby areas outside of Jakarta. The goal for the rain to start before reaching Jakarta. This method proved to be helpful, because these few days have been proven to be sunny, and we can finally go back to school/work normally. Still, I'm still worried about the negative effects, such as the high cost and environmental effects. I've heard that chemicals used in cloud seeding is going to slowly affect the water quality of our sea and the marine life inside of it if used repeatedly. But, I'm still glad that our government took some precautions, so now we can at least go back to our normal lives and enjoy live peacefully without worrying about floods. I hope this extreme weather will end quickly so the government doesn't need to do cloud seeding and our sea and marine life will be fine.

    1. Thank you for introducing Jakarta and the situation with recent flood.

  • Hi I'm contemplative_river from The USA hampton,GA. Something you might not know about where I live is the USA has the best lemon pepper wings.

    1. Sounds lovely! Can you tell me any other interesting facts about where you're from?

  • Hi, I'm objective_ocean from Jakarta, Indonesia. Jakarta is the capital city of my country, Indonesia. Nowadays, Jakarta is one of the megacities in the world with a lot of skyscraper and other very beautiful building. However Jakrta is also one of the fastest sinking megacities in the world as Jakarta was built near the sea. It sinks by up to 25 cm per year. Altough efforts like building a wall was being made, Jakarta kept sinking every year. Also in this few weeks since the early January, Jakarta kept getting flooded remembering this is the rainy season. But this is not fully the fault of the weather since the bad drainage system and the number of rivers in Jakarta contributed the most to the flooding of Jakarta. The constant flood causes too many problems, especially to transportation. This proves that Indonesia still needed a lot of things to be fixed. But,Jakarta is still a very beautiful city but I don't recommend taking a holiday to Jakarta. Jakarta is very hot and mostly it's just a bunch of buildings. But if you enjoy exploring Indonesia, Jakarta is definitely a place to start.

  • Hi there i am amusing_climate i think using technology is unfair in any sport Because using technology could lead to Advantages and disadvantages because when we did the airplane test i had carboard which really helped but some people had wet paper towel which was very unfair because every time they tried to throw it it would just glide back down to the floor so they did not gain any points but my carboard airplane was easy to use and we got full points every time so using technology is very not fair and we should not use use it.

  • Hello! My username is dazzling_music, and I'm from Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. Jakarta is a pretty crowded city (mainly because of high population density). Anyways, Jakarta is divided into six administrative areas (Central Jakarta, North Jakarta, South Jakarta, West Jakarta, East Jakarta, and Thousand Islands). I live in North Jakarta, which is closest to the sea. There are a lot of beaches here. Sadly, I don't like going to the beach or even walking on sand (it just feels weird for me). For those who enjoy playing at the beach, try going to Ancol (there is an amusement park nearby). And for those who like taking peaceful walks, PIK is a great option. I'm surprised that there are hardly any tsunamis (considering Jakarta is near a sea). However, recently, there have been numerous floods (even though it's the rainy season, it's still more than usual). The government has decided to modify the weather using some technology that I don't understand. And now, the streets are dry again. But there are still some after-effects. For example, so many potholes appeared on the road, and one of my friends' houses was flooded. On the bright side, I like living here. Indonesia is a country with many cultures. And that's pretty exciting for me.

  • Hi everyone I'm from Giza Egypt my city is very famous all over the world because we have the great pyramid and the sphinx here it is amazing to see them every day Giza is very big and busy city and there are always many people and cars in the streets the food here is also great especially koshary and falafel l really like living here because it has so much history but it is also a very lively place with friends people greetings to everyone

  • Hey I'm loyal_drawing from Atlanta, Georgia in the United States! Something you might not know about where I live is that there's always something going on in Downtown Atlanta. Whether it's a football game in the Mercedes- Benz stadium or a concert in State Farm Arena, downtown is always full. Along with so much movement, we get a lot of traffic. There is a very diverse community. Atlanta is full of so many amazing places to visit like the Georgia Aquarium, Piedmont Park, and World of Coca-Cola.

  • Hi, I am fabulous_brain I am 11 years old from October City in Egypt.
    I’m going to tell you some strange behavior rules that we follow, and we don’t even know why we do them.

    If you visit someone at their house and they give you a drink, you must leave a little juice at the end, even if you really want to finish it.

    If you are getting married, you have to buy a china cabinet. You put plates, spoons, forks, and knives in it. But the strange thing is that you must never use them.
    There is only one condition: if someone < he/she have to be an important person >comes to visit you, you can use them and pretend that this is what you normally use every day.

    When you do something wrong and your mom tells you not to do it again, you might get hit in the face with her slipper.

    When you are being chased with the slipper, even if you try to run, the slipper seems to have a radar. You will get hit anyway. Don’t even try.

    Thanks for reading!

  • Hello!!!!!SORRY for not interesting myself last time.I'm versatile_song.I love Pokemon and phtogfy .

    I think robot taxes should be illegal because more people will lose their job and become homeless!This is because some people have a job as a taxe driver and is get money from this!!!So if they get repeat thay may not be able
    to find a new job!!!And if this happens they may not be able to effort bills and food!!!

    I also think it is unfair because it is not they folt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    They never did anything to be replace by robot taxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    So that's why I think robot taxes should be band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




    Thanks for reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Hiiii! I'm Storytelling and I wrote from my studio as my name suggests. I'm from Salamanca, a small city in Spain closest to Portugal, where there are large amounts of cultural heritage in small space. I imagin that you don't know where it is (except Spanish people that participats to the Topical Talk Festval). I share with you some traditional things that you can find in my city:

    Food: the traditional food of Salamanca is composed of hornazo(a pie filled with chorizo, iberic ham, loin and more meat),chanfaina(rice with meat and with a red sauce made with pig blood) and patatas meneás(mashed potatoes with chorizo and meat similar to bacon).
    Cultural landmarks: in Salamanca, there are two cathedrals, one university, one of the oldest ones with more than 800 years, a roman bridge, among others.

    Salamanca has a lot of tales and legends as:

    La Celestina: this tale encompasses Calixto and Melibea, a couple that loves but hey have a bad end.
    The legends of San Juan of Sahagún: like Tentenecio ,the yellow well...

    The patrons of Salamanca are:
    San Juan de Sahagún: celebrated in June 12
    Virgen de la Vega: celebrated in September 8

  • Hi i am AMUSING_CLIMATE yesterday we had a topical talk visitor and we had a vote for whether 10 year olds should be able to vote for the election i thought no they shouldn't because if they did they don't exactly know who the people they are voting for is like or who they should vote and additionally they are easily influenced and manipulated so someone could post something and they would probably believe it and that `could lead to trouble known as not knowing what is real and what is not AND THATS WHY I THINK THEY SHOULD NOT. Other people would agree and say everyone deserves too vote i agree with that but for young 10 year olds they would think its too complex
