We are joining a group of amazing bloggers from around the world who are all going to show you around their neighborhood. The Neighborhoods Around the World Series is hosted by The Piri-Piri Lexicon. There will be twenty four countries represented and thirty three entries spanning the entire globe. In October and November, every two days, you will be able to discover a little corner of the world you may not know and see how people live there.
