Holly Week and Easter
Esnglihs
That was my second Easter here in USA, but I didn’t like too much, because in my country is very different than here. We celebrate whole week of Holly day at the churches and all the own homes.
Well, I want to be honest and simple ok.
I didn’t like that week here, because I saw everybody here doesn’t closed the different stores or mall to dedicated to the Holly week. heir just thinking in working and they don’t care the God week, it’s no good for our future children. Maybe they will think different about God’s day. They just save Sunday I think it’s not good.

In that week we cooking lots different kind of food such as: Beans, spaghettis, rice, plantain, palm and others food from our towns or the other countries. We do that because is ones of the best tradition that we have in there. We have just one rule, we can’t cook beef, and other kind of meet for that whole week, because is bad for all of us.

This tradition have has been for many years ago, we have to cook days before, as soon as possible to got ready to eaten for the whole week, because it’s our culture. hope return to my country as soon as I and my friends finish these curses here. I also want to remain them that important is our culture and traditions.

Food Conference of South America

It was a good opportunity to practice our
English and shares our culture, through food, some pictures, music and video. I was wondered to do it because we took time to prepare and cooked the different kind of food that we have in our countries.

Even though we didn’t have enough audience it wasn't a problem for us because we did hard work to be recognized for our job. That presentation was in (UTSA) University of San Antonio Texas. There is a wonderful place to show whatever thing about our culture and country.

Everything was good, kitchen, cookers, place and us. It doesn’t matter the places, and situations, we are ready to do our best job and try new things that we have learned during those two years. That day we ate a lot food from the different countries; some of them was hot and had spice, but we didn’t care that, we just eating and enjoy the food.

So, I would like to do others presentations right there because that experiences maybe I will use in my hometown with persons of my community and share our culture and more than. In special when we go to some places where the peoples show different typical plates. Sometimes we learn how to prepare food from their countries.
