Hello!

[Skatte]

Hello everybody!
My name is Matteo, I'm from Padua, Italy, and I have no EDS. I just have a girlfriend who has it (Chiara, in this Forum), and I want to know more about Eds, because I'd like to help her in the best way.

I know my english is not so good, but I'm trying to give the best of me ^^

Hello Matteo.
:)

Glad you came to join us and further your learning on EDS.
It's very nice and caring of you on wanting to be able to help Chiara.
:)

Whenever you have a question please let me know! I'd be more than glad to help you.
My name is Brittany, and I am one of the Co-Owners/Co-Founders on here. :)

[Chiara]

Hei, my love :) :heart::heart::heart:
so glad that you're here ^^:wub:
it's a bit strange to write to you in english, but it's ok :)
anyway, welcome ;)

Hey *waves* :)

Welcome to EDSkids!!!!:smile:

[Johnna]

Hey there, and welcome to EDS Kids! It's so wonderful to see someone so willing to learn!

[ReineDeLaSeine14]

Awwwwww that's so sweet! You two can feel weird writing in English to each other LOL :)

Welcome!

[xxBrittany]

How long have you two been speaking English? You two are very fluent with it and speak it so well!

[Chiara]

Thank you ^^
i started learning English when i was 7, but i didn't learn much until i was 13.
i had good teachers :)

[xxBrittany]

Awesome Chiara.
You speak English very well. You must be a great learner! :)

[Chiara]

no, actually I love english...
it's such a beautiful language ^^
When I was a child, i had this kinda dream to go to London.
But none of my parents speak any other language than italian, so that i learned it quite well, just to go to London :)
it's quite a strange story, I know xD

[Katherine]

Have you been to London yet?

[Chiara]

I have been there once, two years ago, but I stayed there only one day :(

[Katherine]

where abouts did you go? all the tourist places? what did you think?

[xxBrittany]

I really would like to visit London and Italy. I heard both are VERY beautiful places and are a must see. What is there to do?

[Katherine]

In London there are lots of sight seeing things to do like buckingham palace...if the flag's up it means the Queen's there! and there's trafalgar square, picadilly circus, tower of london, the london eye - its pretty much a ferris wheel but u can stand up and walk about in the pods, ohh and if you love shopping you have to go to oxford street! theres so much to see in london - you'd never get bored! lol

[xxBrittany]

Awh. I WANNA GO! :)

I saw only some touristic places, but i promised to get back there...London is magic! :)
everything is different from any other part of the world, even the athmosfere...
In Italy instead, depends on where you go...I would advice you to go to Venice, because I love it...and because it is near to my city! i could be your cicero ;)
Even Rome is wonderful.
Other cities to go are Florence, Milan, Turin, Siena, Pompei, and many many others...
Even my city is beautiful (Padua) and has a LOT of historique places...i could be your cicero there too, if you want!
Anyway, more you go to the south of Italy, the less there is attention to disabled people. In fact, I am in Sardinia right now and the day before yesterday i used my wheelchair (oh yeah, they gave me one xD) to go to Alghero, and that was terrible! cars on the sidewalks, broken sidewalks, up slops, down slops....very difficult!
Even Venice could be very difficult to go, for those with "fix" wheelchair, actually.
ok, that's all xD
P.S. i advice you to visit Sardinia if you could, it is nice.
P.P.S. next year i will be in US for a month! :):):)

[Chiara]

[SophieeBabessxo]

We're going to walk around london, buy some stuff, that kinda thing
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepppppppppppppppppppppp pppppp :D

[xxBrittany]

Chiara, sorry to hear about you and Matteo. :(
If you need anything or to just talk, I'm here. I know those kinda situations can be rough. :(

Anywho, I'm here. Keep your head up & always remember to smile.
