  1. Wow! All these interesting things about you. I'm glad we have some in common: I love music, love swimming. I'm bilingual too, I speak Igbo, my native language. I speak a little French and Hausa too. I've always wanted to learn Spanish, sounds like a sweet melodious tune whenever I hear it on TV.

    Thanks for participating in these awards!

    I haven't heard of Gambas al Pil Pil before, but it sounds good and I'm salivating right now. :)
