From Around the World

Image
Many of my possessions are from China. I think 90% of the things I have are Chinese.  My mobile phone, my computer, my bicycle, you name it, they are almost all from China.  My action camera is a DJI, it's from China.  But I also have a Fuji compact. That one is from Japan. My TV is from Mexico. It's an LG, but it is not from Korea.  In the living room we have a Samsung. That one is a Korean TV set. My electric guitar is from the USA.  I have an electronic controller from Germany.  My headphones are from Austria. I have some pottery and a tray which come from the UK. Most of my clothes are from China. But some of my clothes are from Peru. And so am I.  My cat is Peruvian, too.   This blog is part of a lesson for beginners at our website.
