Para los espanoles y Gli Italiani

No vanity trip here, but it just occurred to me that it won’t be a bad idea to have a “shout-out” at visitors who may not speak English.

Hola todos, Me ha ocurido que de vez en cuando puede ser alguien que no hablar ingles, pasando un momento por estas paginas. Para estos tipos de personas, algunas palabras: Me llamo “Ginger” (bueno, tienes razon pensar que tipo de nombre es este: es suficiente por ahora). Soy nigeriano… si nigeriano como africano, muy moreno y tal… Trabajo como periodista y vivo en la ciudad de Lagos donde practicar mi profession. Estuve algun tiempo (muy corto en espana - Viva Espana!), pasando por Madrid (Sierra de Gredos), por Valencia y estando tres semanas en Vigo… ah si, tambien en Castellon. Asi, si quieres que traduzco algo en este pagina, dimelo. Nada mas por ahora. Dejarme un momento a hablar con mis amigos los italianos. —

Mi sembra che puo essere basta per adesso… Sono nigeriano e abito nella cita de Lagos (Nigeria) dove lavoro come giornalisti. Questo e la mia “blog” dove mettere la mia piensero (a volte molte confuso). E stato en Italia un ano fa ma non basta per imparare bene la bella lingua! Va bene, voglio dire che si cualcuno ha una domanda sulla temi nella queste blog, nel nigeria, nel africa… chiedermi e ci vediamo si forse posso aiutare. Niente da fare. Ci vediamo. Ciao, ciao!
