In Texas however, school usually goes from 1st grade to at least 9th grade. Where Sabastian lives, there are beaches and tourists. Where I live, there are no beaches, but that doesn't mean that there are no beaches in Texas. Norah lives in a 3 level house, while I live in a 2 story house. My neighborhood can be quiet sometimes. Norah's neighborhood is quiet. My school has 6 classes (not including some flex periods + lunch and PE) Norah has 8 classes. Like my neighborhood ,because I live near a park, people play outside. A lot  of kids play outside in Alan's neighborhood and children play outside at night. In the mornings, there is traffic most of the time in my neighborhood. John lives near DC so there is traffic from there.]]> 2017-11-10 00:33:17 UTC https://padlet.com/weirz/yz0reigccsyn/wish/205548249 weirz https://padlet.com/weirz/yz0reigccsyn/wish/205551520 Where Sabastian lives, some popular food are BBQ, which is in Texas to,tortas  Fritas (fried dough) which might be found in Tex-mex restaurants. Uruguayans love mate, a herbal infusion (see photo below).

Uruguay also became independent in 1828. Like Texas but with Europe, Uruguay used to have (maybe still) immigrants come from Europe. Norah has a history with a chief named General Dodge, who helped make a railroad go through Norah's community.Also, where John lives,there is Washington D.C, and the Appamadix court house.]]> 2017-11-10 01:14:37 UTC https://padlet.com/weirz/yz0reigccsyn/wish/205553315 weirz https://padlet.com/weirz/yz0reigccsyn/wish/205554435 For art, Sebastian has street singers,annual book fair(there are book fairs in Texas to)theaters,acrobats,museums,and painters.Norah has abstract art and a very diverse culture. In my neighborhood, there are murals near highways and one on the side of a restaurant and they are all very pretty. John has history buildings, like museums. There are many museums near my house such as the art museum and science and history museum.]]> 2017-11-10 01:24:43 UTC https://padlet.com/weirz/yz0reigccsyn/wish/205554435 weirz https://padlet.com/weirz/yz0reigccsyn/wish/205555609 There are many different cultures in the world and all of them are very unique. Where Sebastian lives, a popular sport is soccer, which is also played in Texas. Uruguay also has different costumes, because they are influenced by so many cultures. Where Norah lives, there are new creations around her,new cultures, and Norah gains new knowledge by different cultures around her. ]]> 2017-11-10 01:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/weirz/yz0reigccsyn/wish/205555609 weirz https://padlet.com/weirz/yz0reigccsyn/wish/205557164 Question #1 = How has your opinion of the part of the world where your pen pals life changed?
when I first started writing I learnt that there are more meaningful places out there and that places other Texas aren't just there. Everywhere life is moving on and culture is changing in other than just Texas.
Question #2 =Are people more similar or different that's you expected?
People are more different and unique than I expected. I thought most people lived the same as Texas, I was aware of different cultures and thriving communities but not as much as I am now.]]> 2017-11-10 01:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/weirz/yz0reigccsyn/wish/205557164
