Although it's April 1st, 2007, and you may think we're up to no good, there are some great news we'd like to share with you:
1. We are currently working on our very own website: www.caliromania.org where we will have online chatrooms, including a scheduled room with voice and video, online English classes, discussion boards, and numerous resources for our visitors.
2. In the spirit of friendship and colaboration, we're building the website: www.caliworldfriends.com where people from many cultures who either live in California or would like to learn more about it, can meet and exchange ideas as well as make new friends. This website was inspired by our idea of CaliRomania, but it expands to numerous other cultures and communities, having them all in one virtual space where people who wouldn't otherwise interact, would do so. So far we've created more than 10 Blogs, including: CaliWorldFriends, CaliMexico, CaliKorea, CaliChina, CaliVietnam, Cali India, CaliGuatemala, CaliNicaragua, CaliFrance, Cali Italia, and more are on the horizon.
Please let us know if you'd like to help by hosting some discussion board sections, participating in this blog, or hosting chats.
3. We've created and are currently hosting a website for St. Andrew Mission Orthodox Church in North Hollywood. The website is undergoing upgrades, but here it is:
