Do you watch the Olympics like I do? Maybe you do, Maybe you don’t. As for me??? I LIVE FOR IT. And if I were to be completely honest, the whole sports thing isn’t even my favorite part. ITS THE PARADE OF NATIONS!

And while I am in love with countries, continents, cultures, languages and the like, EVEN I FORGET ABOUT CERTAIN COUNTRIES. So I will give a few of … Continue reading Forgotten Worlds
