Holi Festival

       There is a certain festival that I would love to go that is held in India. Can you guess what it is? Its Holi,also known as the festival of colors. It is a spring festival that is celebrated all across India. Holi is an ancient Hindu religious festival. The colors that you normally see in photos are made of herbs and and flower petals. As well as being a hindu religious festival it is also celebrated outside of this religion. A lot of Holi celebrations start the night before holi were people gather and people perform certain religious rituals and dances. In my opinion I think that Holi would be an amazing experience because I would someday love to be apart of this festival.

Bizarre foods in India

https://food.ndtv.com/food-drinks/8-bizarre-foods-indians-eat-708501

          Some bizarre foods in India that I have found are truly interesting. From the state of Goa there are frog legs. The frog legs that they use in Goa are those of the Indian bullfrog, which is famously know as the 'jumping chicken'. There are many more bizarre foods in India such as snail stew and steamed hornets from the Indian state of Nagaland. Nagaland is home to more than 15 tribes with many distinctive taste which includes steamed hornet larvae, snail stew, and get this, SILKWORM CURRY! In conclusion, India is a crazy place with many crazy foods and I don't think I'd try them anytime soon.

STORMS IN INDIA

In India there was a huge dust storm with fierce winds, lightning strikes created by a strong dust storm that has killed more than 110 people and injured hundred more people. Most of these deaths were caused by walls and roofs falling over on people in the middle of the night. Also a lot of wind spread electricity cuts and water shortages. And in the state rajasthan 35 more people died and over 200 were injured after winds downed 8,000 electric pole,uprooted hundreds of trees,destroyed house and killed livestock. Dust storms are are common in this part of India in the summer but loss life on this scale is unusual.

India

            I choose India because I thought that because it is such a big place there could be a lot of it to write about. some of India's food includes: Biryani, Panipuri, Kadhi those are some of the foods.
India has many festivals such as Holi, Republic Day, Maha Shivaratri. One of their biggest festivals is called Diwali. Diwali is a festival celebrated about the light, they use firecrackers and
other things to represent light.Things that children do for fun in India are sports, arts and
crafts and other things. One of their biggest game played in India is called cricket.
Cricket is a game with two teams of eleven players each. The Bat called a wicket and three wooden stumps witch two balls sit on. My favorite is the festival called Diwali whats your favorite thing?

Universal Studios in Singapore!!

There are many cool places and things to do in Singapore.  Singapore is home to many places that we don’t have in the United States.  Singapore has animals that the US does not so that makes their zoo’s cooler and more exciting.  Their gardens are amazing! They have a place called Gardens by the Bay which looks like a place in Wakanda from the Black Panther movie. But the best thing of all is that they have Universal Studios there.  Theirs looks exactly like the one we have in the US. It is also kind of expensive too. It cost €71.10 which is 85.16 in US dollars.  For my family of 4 it would be $340.64 and that’s just for 24 hours. This is South Asia’s first and only Universal Studios theme park, featuring 24 rides, shows and attractions in seven themed zones.  Of all of the cool places their I would like to go to Universal Studios

India es mi País (hehehhehehehehe)

The East Asia country that I chose was India because my parents are from India so it's one of my favorite countries. Some food that Indian people eat include: Biryani, butter chicken, chana masala, and more. A special celebration in India is Diwali. It is India's biggest festival.When you celebrate Diwali, you use sparklers and fire crackers because it's a festival of lights. Diwali is celebrated every year on different dates. In 2018, it's on November 7th, in 2019 it's October 27th, and in 2020 it's November 14th. Now I'll tell you what Indian kids like to do for fun. Indian children love many different things including crafts, games, and sports. A sport that is played a lot in India is cricket. And since India is a very hot country, you can do lots of outdoor activities. And I want to know, what did you find most interesting about India from reading this? Was it the food? The celebrations? The activities? I personally love all of them. :)


Visiting Maldives


       One place in South Asia I would like to visit is the Republic of Maldives. I would like to visit the Maldives because they are in the tropics. They have tropical food such as Fihunu mas, coconuts, Garudhiya, Mas huni, bajiya, and masroshi. Fihunu mas is barbecued fish that has been basted with chili. They also have really good weather year round. The Maldives has a year-round hot tropical climate. Another reason is it's known for its beaches, blue lagoons, and extensive reefs, I would love to go swimming or even learn how to scuba dive there. So basically I want to go to Maldives since it's like the Bahamas.
