LOOK THROUGH THEIR EYES
Have you ever sat back and wondered, wondered what other people from other places are like?
Most people do, but are afraid to admit it.
I would fight you to the death.
Just to show you,
that there is not beauty only in America.
In my mind I have traveled many places.
Places that I hope to one day see with my eyes.
I have taken trips to far away villages,
In far away countries!
I have friends that are Muslim, I have friends that are Roman Catholic.
I have friends that are Jewish, and I have friends that are Christian.
Although the religions are not the same.
The people are.
I have learned that a teenage boy, will always be a teenage boy.
An adult female, looks for the same thing as every adult female.
Even though in different places, Love, Lust, and Greed, are all the same.
PLEASE DO CONTINUE READING
I have learned many things through these new friends.
Languages, cultures, habits.
But the most important thing that I have learned is not to judge a person.
Do not assume someone to be something, they will surprise you.
I guarantee it.
INDIA

The native people of India cover themselves for safetly from the scorching sun but the clothing they wear also catches the breezes, that blow during the day.
The Indians never need to wear winter coats or heavy material except in the north, near the Himalayas because the tropic of cancer runs throught the southern end of India.
Foods and ways of eating
In India, the native people eat friend vegetables and curries, made of a poultry and special sauces made of spices.
The natives also eat hand picked and grown rice which is cooked and usually eaten with a special curry called 'dar' which just happens to be filled with India's famous spices.
Indians also make their own breads. There are different types of bread in India, some of which are called 'rotli, 'puri', and 'naan'.
Most Indians are brahamns in the northern part of India and they do not eat meat, some do not eat eggs.
However Indians in the southern parts of India are called Punjabis and they do eat meat but differnt families don't eat certain kinds, depending on religion.

There is a game, called sick cat. People try to get away from the sick cat. If you get tagged then you hold the part of the body that got tagged. The last person left, wins.
Music
Brazil's music is based on Indians playing reeds, Portuguese playing violas and singing, Africans playing their thrilling rhythms.
The carimbo' is a large drum. It's made of a hollow tree trunk 1 meter tall and 30 cm wide, with deer skin on one end.
Music best captures the nations heritage.
They dance the Samba, which is there national beat.

Brazil uses a lot of alcohol.
Their diet consists of meat, rice, beans, cheese, and eggs.
Lunch, for them, is most important.
Common drinks include lemonade, milk, fruit juices, and soft drinks, coffee, and mate (an herbal tea) enjoyed in the southern states.
Fun fact about Brazil: The worlds largest producer and exporter of both sugar, orange juice, and coffee.
