Advantages: good things are the same (but rates here are better)
Disadvantages: bad things are also the same

...Well, this is mi second opinion here in Ciao UK and I thought maybe talk about Ciao España could be something interesting for you. Actually, I enter to this brother site because I was wondering how different would it be. And in a very fast and first view it was. The rates in Spain are higher. I don´t know why. Perhaps people wants be kind with everyone. Perhaps they want to make "friends" or better people that rates them with charm very helpul and exceptional. Or perhaps, is just that when you actually don´t read a single word of a review its easier give a "very hepful" and go to the next review ( that you aren´t going to read too). The truth is that reviews are rated more for their lehgth that for their good information or quality writting. Five lines = useful. Two paragraphs = very... Read review

Advantages: Bravery, courage, and a never say die attitude
Disadvantages: Couldn't quite finish the job

...~ ~ What a heartbreaker! Despite clearly being the better side over the regulation 90 minutes, and despite chasing for all they were worth to grab the all elusive ‘golden goal’ in extra time, the Irish World Cup dreams of glory turned to dust today in a heart stopping match against Spain in Suwon, South Korea. So manager Mick McCarthy’s brave lads are now homeward bound, and can only watch and dream as a poor Spanish side progress to a quarterfinal tie against either Italy or joint hosts South Korea. ~ ~ The Irish went into this match as the underdogs, and as has so often been the case in the past, very few pundits gave them any chance of pulling of what many saw as an impossible feat. But the ‘underdog’ tag is one that the Irish carry very well, and the players were brim full of confidence after coming... Read review

Advantages: our weather, our people... Certainly Spain is different ;-)
Disadvantages: Come to Spain, probably you´ll finally find one or two ;-p

...This is my first opinion here in Ciao Uk. I have a little experience in Ciao España but for me it´s a challenge writte an opinion in a foreign language. So sorry for my english and I hope it worth the trouble of reading it. I´ll try to make it comprehensible and interesting for all of you that have only a remote desire of visit my country ;-). First of all some details about us: - Spanish people are somewhat used to give the welcome to foreign travels around the world. So, don´t be afraid of asking anything. People would make the effort of understanding you although they didn´t know a word of english. Don´t expect something like it in Paris for example ( I talk about my personal experience). - Bullfighting is a controverted subject. You´ll find here people that love it like some kind of religion... Read review

Advantages: I know how Ciao works
Disadvantages: Maybe you won't understand my English sometimes

...Hello everybody. First of all I want to start saying that I am from Spain, so my English is not very good (sorry). In Spain we also have Ciao, and I like it very much. I have written a lot of oppinions there and I am almost in the purple level. I just wanted to try something different and, since I like English very much, I thought this could be a good chance to learn it. Furthermore, I think that it will be very interesting to share my points of view with all of you and find out which things you like here in England. :) Wow... My first words in the English version of Ciao... I have to say I'm a little scared because I don't know if you will like having a "stranger" here. I'll say something about me... ok: i'm 19 years old and I have been studying English for 11 years. People say I'm good at it but I don't think so. I really like your... Read review

Advantages: ???
Disadvantages: my english

...Here I am now, in another world, in the world of Ciao- but in another language. For all of you it`s very easy to post here, but I´m german and normally I write only in the german Ciao. I´m here to improve my english (if I have English) and meet other Ciao-people. This is my first opinion and I really hope that it´s not too bad. So I´m Nadine and (I told you bevor) I live in Germany. Here I start working in an Fun-Park now. Maybe I like it. Normally I like more other countries, like Spain. Three month ago, I lived in Spain and worked there as an entertainer für 10 month. It was a very nice experience. Working with english people and give them a reason to laugh about me every day,..... Maybe I will translate my german opion about my job one day.... Read review

...Hi, I joined Ciao UK a couple of days ago and I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Pepis and I'm from Spain. You might be wondering what am I doing here??? Why don't I go to the Spanish one? Basically this is what happened... last week I sprained my ankle...went to the doctor and she told me to have some rest (at least for 10 days). So there I was with lots of idle time to read and chat on the Internet...and so happens that Ciao is down! (They are changing its appearance to look just like this one) Of course, I was quite disappointed and that's why I decided to come here. Anyhow now I'm very glad I did :) So...I'm from Pamplona a city in the North of Spain close to the Western Pyrenees. It is a small city, really green (lots of rainfall throughout the year) and quite busy mainly due to the University which attracts lots... Read review

Advantages: excellent game of football
Disadvantages: could of been better

...I found this game an enthralling prospect, both spain and italy where at the top of there game before coming to the ernst staduim in a hot vienna evening. I was looking forward to an absoultly amazing game of football between two passianate and colourful nations. But what we got was a cat and mouse kind of game, both teams being very careful in there play, spain had the better of the ninty minutes, they played with flair with there hearts, italy were quite frankly negative in there play, quite defensive tactics, after the ninty minutes spain deserved to win, they created more chances and looked more comftable on the ball, even so you can nether write the italians off, So it came down to extra time, and still no chances, so we had an agonisong penalty shootout, and italy missed two penalties and up stepped cecs fabregas to slot home...
