Welcome to TCI's new "International" message forum! Since the TCI message board has participants from all over the world, we want our friends in countries outside the U.S. to have a place to bring tree-climbing issues that are specific to the country where you live to our community as a whole.

Please don't be shy! We understand that people who don't speak English as a native language sometimes have a hard time writing it. We're sure that everyone who posts here--including our English-speaking participants--will try their best to be understood by all, and that everyone will be patient with language barriers.

We look forward to broadening our discussion of tree climbing and learning from our tree-climbing friends worldwide.

On behalf of TCI and its membership,
Patty Jenkins

Je ne suis pas un estranger mais je vais ecrire ici. J'adore les arbres, et j'aime bien de gripper. C'est dommage mais je n'ai pas le faire en France ou Canada. Per chance je vais a France encore je vais gripper bien sure.

I'm not a foreigner, but I will write here. I adore trees and I like very well to climb. It's sad but I haven't done it in France or Canada. If lucky, I will go to France again (and) I will climb for sure.
Cordialement,

Maintenez en Plein Forme dedans Les Arbres!
Stay in top form in the trees.

Eu acho qui eu vou escalada arvores. Serimente eu tenho uma pergunta. Onde sao os povos de America sul? Eu estou na busca da garota de Ipanema. Eu preciso um chopp.

I believe that I'm going to climb trees. Seriously, I have a question. Where are the people from South America?

I need a Brazilian draft beer.

Google can translate foreign text provided the accent marks are typed and you can guess the language of origin.

Es muy bueno tener un sitio en la red donde se pueda ver informacion en varios idiomas. Muchos de los Escaladores de arboles y trabajadores en Arboricultura hablan Español solamente asi que es bueno tener este nuevo lugar. Ademas esta Organizacion tiene "Internacional" en su nombre. Espero ver pronto algunos mensages en Portugues, Frances e Italiano.

English Version for Patty;
It is good to have a site on the Web where we can see information in several languages. Many of the Tree Climbers and Arboriculture Workers speak Spanish only so it is good to have this new multilingual site. Also, This Organization has the word "International " as it's name. I hope to soon see postings in Portugues, French and Italian.
Gracias!

Well said everyone. Tree climbing occurs everywhere there are trees. I am very interested about trees of different countries and what lives in them.

Lets hear from those that climb these trees too. I know we have much in common.
