Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China (simplified Chinese: 长城; traditional Chinese: 長城; pinyin: Chángchéng; literally "long city/fortress") or (simplified Chinese: 万里长城; traditional Chinese: 萬里長城; pinyin: Wànlǐ Chángchéng; literally "The long wall of 10,000 Li (里)"[1]) is a series of stone and earthen fortifications in northern China, built, rebuilt, and maintained between the 5th century BC and the 16th century to protect the northern borders of the Chinese Empire from Xiongnu attacks during various successive dynasties. Since the 5th century BC, several walls have been built that were referred to as the Great Wall. One of the most famous is the wall built between 220–206 BC by the first Emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang. Little of that wall remains; it lay farther north than the current wall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty.[2] continues...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Wall_of_China

Initial Post

Hi, first of all let me say that it is really a great pleasure to write about the things we are going to discuss around here, which is the whole world. Needless to say that we are going to have endless subjects to discuss about. Every day as I wake up I thank God for the opportinities He has given me to get to know this wonderful globe that we live. I had the great opportunity to live in America and also in Europe, Germany more precisely. I have also, so far, the privilegy of knowing more than 20 Countries and I will try to write about the experiences that I got travelling through those places. I also got a MBA degree at University of Dallas, and today am the owner of R2 Comex and Mettmann, two companies involved with international business. We will also be discussing businesses and academics subjects over here.

Hope you enjoy!!!

Also, I want to say that comments and suggestions are always welcome.

See you around
