Introduction:Who are we? & 1st week news

Hello everybody, we are students of IES Pau Vila Sabadell.
We write in this blog because it's one of the activities that we do in Multiculturality Enlgish subject.
Blog's name is Multiculturality Pau Vila Asia because we've done some groups and each group chose one continent.

Our names are Laura Sánchez, Laura Farrés, Cristina Granados, Fernando Adelantado and Jordi Cortina, we are baccalaureate students.

We chose Asia, it is completely different to Europe and we want to know new things about this country.

In this blog we're going to put news, information, curiosities and general knowledge about Asia.

We hope you enjoy our blog.
