The Bottom Line Texas and Sweden is where I’ve lived the most and I think both places are great in their own special way. Therefore I want to host a Texas+Sweden write off.
During October 2009 and during the first half of November I will be hosting a write off on topics pertaining to Texas or Sweden. I joined epinions a little more than a year ago, mostly because I was somewhat curious about epinions. At first I had no intention of writing reviews, however, on October 7 2008 I wrote my first review on epinions. I've had a good time on epinions and I have encountered a lot of nice and smart people. Now October is here once again and I want to try something that I have not done before, host a write-off. I like geography and travel and since I have lived most of my life in Sweden that would be a good topic for me. The problem is that it is a topic that does not offer many writing opportunities for others. However, I have also lived many years in Texas, and I love it here, and it should offer more writing opportunities. So I decided to do a combo, a "Texas plus Sweden" write-off. Examples of topics could be: In Travel: Destination, hotel, airport, tour company, etc. in Texas or Sweden. In Books: Books about Texas or Sweden, a plot partially taking place in Texas or Sweden, the author is from Texas or Sweden, etc. Software: Learning software involving Texas or Sweden, software having to do with Texas or Sweden, software made by a software company in Texas or Sweden, etc. Movies: Movies in which part of the plot takes place in Texas or Sweden, documentary movies about Texas or Sweden, movies directed by someone from Texas or Sweden, or with a Texan or Swedish actor, etc. Music: Music by a Texas/Swedish musician/band, DVD's with songs referring to Texas or Sweden, etc. Computers: Computer equipment made by a Texas company or a Swedish company, etc. Electronics: Electronic gadgets made by a Texas company or a Swedish company, etc. Restaurants and Gourmet: Restaurants in Texas, or food items distributed by companies in Sweden or Texas, items which aren't really Texan or Swedish but are named that way, like Swedish Fish, etc. Writers Corner: My life/adventure/accident/mother in Texas or Sweden, all my exes are from Texas, lots more examples. Other topics: And on the list goes, I hope you get the idea, If you leave a comment or send me an email (mailto:thomas.wikman@siemens.com) I will add your entry. I started off by adding a travel review for Sweden and restaurant review for a restaurant in Texas. I hope that some of you who read this will be able to participate. All regular reviews and express reviews are welcome.
