I come from a hot country,
where we have a lot of fans.
People in Malaysia
like to eat rice and fruit.
Sometimes it rains for one week.
I like Malaysia because
the food is yummy.

Where I come from ..
I come from a hot place
where the sun brightens up
almost every day of the year.
It is a place where every one
likes dancing and
playing soccer.

The beaches are nice and
the ocean is cold.
It is a huge country.
It is in South America.

Where I come from
I can eat ice creams through the year.
My place is where
Everybody enjoys life!!!!!!

Where I come from
the palm trees wave.
The ocean sets so still,
its perfect.

Where I come from
the sand sifts through your hand
as you pick it up.
You swim in the warm water where
the sun reflects on.

Where I come from
The flowers bloom so bright and colorful
The coconut juice runs down your throat.

I LOVE where I come from
and I wish to go back.

Where I come from…
The snake of the shining flag of Milan
is battling the sword…

Football is the specialty in the streets.
The pasta is so good that I feel like flying.
The wind is so hard,
your face will rip off.
I will never forget my friends!

Fifty stars shout for freedom
and the white
stands for peace and joy.

Where I come from...
I can see the busy buildings
when I look from side to side.
People here and there -
I sometimes think,
“Man, they’re everywhere!”

Where I come from...
I can hear children playing with lots of joy.
Where I come from...
I feel safe.

Where I come from…
My country is hot and burning,
and the sun shines on your eyes.
The oceans glisten through the sunset.
The trees are growing wonderfully,
they are big and beautiful on some islands.
The sun and stars combine
to make my country’s flag.
It is the sign of peace and war.
There are fast motorcycles too.

In my country,
they have shiny huts
in the poor places.
Many people are poor.
They sometimes ask for money.

Where I come from...
my country’s food is really good.
My favourite is
the smelly and tasty sinigang.

Where I come from...
my family loves me because
I am a good boy.

Where I come from
The star stands for independence, and
The green stands for peace and joy.

Where I come from
People beg for food and money
And happiness from God.

Ethiopia is unique.
Long ago some countries tried to rule other countries in Africa.
But Ethiopia wasn’t taken over.

I feel proud to come from Ethiopia.

It’s burning hot
like a blazing fire...
The wild dogs gnash their teeth.
The elephants sway their trunks
back and forth.
The sunset glimmers through the water
Tremendous and Rocky Mountains build up.
The flag flutters in the air.
At night the moon
gleams in the darkness.
Tigers catch their prey.
My family wishes me good luck.

Where I come from…
It is hot and sweaty.
It burns like fire.
It’s busy and noisy at night.

Where I come from…
The food is as spicy as
a crab biting you.
You’ll cry like a baby,
You’ll drink ten cups of water!

Where I come…
The flag stands proudly
and swings through the wind.
It’s red on the top
with the moon and stars at the bottom.
It is strong white crying with red.

Where I come from…
It use to be dangerous.
There was war,
kids didn’t have parents.
They lived on
the street looking for food.

Where I come from…
My family loves me.

Where I come from...
The buildings are as tall as a shooting star.
The traffic is so enormous you might explode!

Where I come from...
You can smell the hotdogs sizzling on the streets.
You can smell the caramel ice cream in the restaurants.

Where I come from...
You can feel the breezy wind go thought your shirt.
You can feel the rain batter against your jacket.

Where I come from...
You can carry squirt guns in summer.
You can touch the dogs in the park with no bummer -
they won’t bite you!

I wish I could go back there!

2007-12-26T15:28:00.001+01:00

Where I come from…
The star and moon that stay on my flag
are roaring for freedom in space.
The scared night waits as the Twin tower
opens its bright lights
to set fire on the town and night.
The sun stays on the gentle, kind sky
as it glistens on the rocky aqua beach,
And the water is rushing
to slide the sand, the seashells and me.

Where I come from…
The birds are singing to raise the sun up,
The goats are grazing
on the juicy, pointy grass that lays on the pounding earth,
And the balloons are popping as it touches
the spikey grass.

Where I come from…
The mosque is grumbling for people to pray in it,
The kitten purrs as you scratch its colorful, smooth coat.
The coconuts are waiting for the cheerful, sizzling sun
to abandon them from their trees.

Where I come from…
My families are waiting for me to come home,
They wait for hours for me to come,
But I know that they love anywhere I am!

Where I come from
the restaurants
are so yummy and delicious,
spicy as the sun!

Where I come from
it is burning hot
like a stove in the kitchen
where I cook my Indian food.

Where I come from
I feel chili chicken on my tongue.
When I look at my mum
I love my chicken.

Where I come from
my family is kind a lot
and I love them.

2007-12-26T15:26:00.001+01:00

Where I come from
the New Yorkers shout and run.
The police ride through New York
on their horses.

Where I come from
in winter
the parks are covered with frost and snow
like a blanket.

Where I come from
the Statue of Liberty looks over New York
guarding it.
When I think of New York,
I feel happy that I live in it.

Where I come from
the food is as hot as the sun.
The really high mountains
always have snow.
The rain floods the streets.
The red sun rules the snow!

I would feel
the red burning sun touch my body.
I feel the chili chicken
burn my tongue.
I feel warm with my family
in Pakistan.

Where I come from...
The lovely sea ripples in the wind,
The dark grey clouds cry on the poor, wet towns,
The old red and purple slide is tired and worn out,
And all the wind bites my cold face.

Where I come from...
I’d ride on my new pink bike
Whizzing round the house
Like a bird in the wind
I’d hear the wild barking
from the next-door neighbour,
And I’d visit my sister’s friend
with her bouncy bunny garden.

Where I come from...
All the people are kind and cool,
There are Monkey Nastics where we do gymnastics
and have some wild world fun,
And the small, black dog that I saw every Sunday
comes to have lunch.

Where I come from...
Everyone loves me
From the bottom of my toes
up to my forehead.

Where I come from,
The waves crash down
on the water, and
the sand moves under your feet.

Where I come from,
The kookaburras cackle,
The kangaroos bounce,
The platypuses swim,
The koalas sleep.

Where I come from
I call home.

Where I come from...
I like almost all the tasty chocolate bars.
I like the giant shivering mountains.
The Jet d’Eau is so big
that when I go near,
I get wet!

I kind of like the Swiss football team,
although they didn’t win
a world cup.
I like when the sun reflects the lake water -
it’s so beautiful!

I like the snow-capped mountains.
and I like the sound of the cow bells,
Between the Juras and the Alps.

Where I come from
it is a nice warm place,
where the sun always touches
the beautiful ocean
that reaches the shining, glittering beach.

Where I come from
the flag heats
with the burning sun

Where I come from
the waves splash
into the weedy rock,
and where the people buy
the freezing ice-cream
to cool up.

I love it there because
My family is there!

They watch it on TV.
They relax in a bean bag chair.

Where I come from
it is boiling hot all day
and even in the noisy dark night.
Cars drive on the busy roads.

When it is raining heavily,
the raindrops glide across my cold face .
The beautiful sea sways softly
on the sandy beaches.
The lovely taste of fresh mango
sits on my rough tongue.

Where I come from
There are a lot of coconut trees
with monkeys swinging on their vines
And tigers prowling at night.
The wild dogs and cats wander at midnight.
In the zoo there are all kinds of wildlife animals
that stand
in their places.

This city is Singapore …
A very special place to be.

Where I come from...
the chakra twirls on the silky flag,
it burns like a roaring fire and
it smells of Gobhiabilas (kind of flower).
The sunset turns the sky a lemon yellow.
The River Yamuna sparkles
in the orange sunset.
Cobras slither quietly to hide.

Where I come from,
The birds start a brand new day.
The food is as spicy as a tiger’s sharp pointy teeth.
It tastes like a yummy chicken.

Where I come from,
there are buildings
that look like a king’s gold palace.

Where I come from,
my family welcomes me!

Where I come from…
on a hill,
the forest rustles around me.
And when it is sunny
everything is bright and still
It is very pretty.

Where I come from…
Bird’s chirp in the trees
And fly away when I come near
And honk or beep,
I cannot hear.

Where I come from…
in one year
I’ll be there
on that hill
just on that hill.
