culture blog project

I like this project, i thought it was interesting to see what other people in the world thought of some of the big issues here, and what its like for them.  I think its definately the easiest project i have ever had to do.  It was cool reading other peoples blogs from other countries and seeing how different and alike we are.

My country's diversity

The U.S has an extremely diverse population, with  people who live here who come from every single country in the world.  There is now a larger total population of minorities than the white majority, with thousands of new people arriving on our boarders every year.  At my school alone I have friends of many ethnicities, for example Indian, Chinese, Russian, Jewish, Spanish and Ethiopian just to name a few.  Our country is usually very excepting of cultural and ethnic diversity, with very little racism still existing in the US. 

My favorite place

    My favorite place in America is probably Hawaii.  Ive always loved going to the beach, and Hawaii has some of the most beautiful beaches and best weather I have ever seen.  It is a great place for me to just go and relax.  The rainforests are also a very cool part of Hawaii, with diverse vegetation and wildlife, and many beautiful sights to see.  The people are very nice and welcoming, and I definately look forward to my next trip there.
