CULTURAL TRADITIONS:


louangphrabang, Laos:

this city is known for its many buddhist museums and the people are very religious. it is also a very nice place to visit, with lots of nature and few buildings, perfect for exploring.










Hawaii:

 hawaii is characterized by its "Hula" dance, which is a symbol of their culture, for them it is more than a dance, it is their life, the bridge that connects with their ancestors. this culture seemed very nice to me because through the dance they express themselves. something i don't understand is if the women spend their whole life dancing or they can study and also have a life like the others.








Mexico:

the day of the dead in mexico is celebrated on november 2. in this festivity people go to the graves of their relatives and decorate them, make parties, and also present offerings. the main symbol of this festivity is the skulls.



 






Polynesia:

Polynesia is one of the 22 sub-regions in which the UN divides the world. this culture is characterized by canoe trips exploring new communities, meeting strangers and being friendly. these people have colorful clothing, are also very cheerful and dancing people. their culture resembles Moana's Disney movie.



Colombia:

the colombian culture is special, due to the high diversity of people that live there. they are happy, dancing, friendly people that make your stay wonderful. they have a high exotic variety of flowers, and one of the biggest exports of colombia is coffee.




The Best culture for me:

the best culture for me is always going to be colombia, because i love its diversity, the people, the places, the food, among others. the people here are very friendly, they always help people, they are respectful, happy, very dancing, all this inspires us to always be close to a colombian. their wonderful places they have, like the 7 colors river, the tatacoa desert, the amazon which has many exotic animals and a lot of nature. these places make colombia love or at least they make me love it. talking about colombia makes me proud because in spite of all the bad things that have happened and that still happen, we cannot leave behind the wonders that it brings, that is why I make an invitation to look more at the beauty that colombia has for us, than the bad things and learn to love it.

They said that this night is when the spirits could be seen with live people for this  helping them not to get lost and find the light. live people had to be costume to not suffer any damage, because the channel between live people and dead people where they could be found, evil spirits also passed by.
