No one enjoys going for a walk and then noticing that the streets are littered with trash or people refuse to clean up after their pets. If you were in Center City however this would never happen. There are many things already in place that would lower the chances of you seeing these nuisances. First there are trash cans in Center City virtually on every street corner. Secondly their are "please curb your dog" signs posted up all over every park and trails. These are both due to the face that when tourists come to visit Philadelphia most of the traffic is in the Center City area, which requires us to keep these parts especially clean.

¡Hola, amigo! : How to ask where are you from to someone
As you can see in the picture below, the word tú at the end of the question means that you are talking to someone around your age. Ud. is when you are talking to an older person.
tú = person around your age
Ud.= person that is older than you, such as an adult
The word soy means I'm and de means from. So if you put it together, you get, I'm from. If you are from that place and you live somewhere else, you would have to say , pero vivo en. Meaning that you live somewhere else from where you are from. This is similar to saying, I'm from. You would just need to add, pero vivo en, after the place you are from. So its, Soy de (a place of where you're from) pero vivo en ( a place where you live, instead of where you are from).
¿Y tú ? = And you?
Yo tambien = Me, too.
* All questions in español has an upside question mark before the question, another question mark, that is not upside down, is after the question.
*Exclamation points are similar to the question marks in questions. It has an upside down exclamation point before and after the sentence.

¿De dònde eres (tù)?
¡Gracias! *meaning "Thank you!"
¿Qúe Día es Hoy?
*miércoles and sábado are the only two days that have accents on top of them
Hoy es lunes. Mañana es martes.
Hoy es martes. Mañana es miércoles.
Hoy es jueves. Mañana es viernes.
Hoy es viernes. Mañana es sábado.
Hoy es sábado. Mañana es domingo.
