Holidays in Other Countries

How and why English was used on these sites? What did you learn from them?

I think that the reason that English was used on these sites is because is a language that the majority of population in the world understand and has a easy access. 

I have learned that, for example, Peruvian families go to mass at 10:00 pm on the 24th,  so dinner is served at midnight, which is almost the same here in Colombia. I also learned how important is water on Thai culture and how do they enjoy New Year. Also,  it caught me by surprise that their New Year is on April and instead ours is on December; that really fascinated me.   

Each country have their own traditions and beliefs, and they make these part of their daily life. Traditions are important to the world. 

Personal Culture

How have either a sport, hobby, or music shaped your own personal culture? Give details to support your ideas.

Personally, music is the one that have 'shape' my culture. Since I was a little girl, music has been an important part of me because I sing. I always have sing. This, has been helpful and a personal therapy to me whenever I feel lost, depressed, sad, or why not? Happy or lively. 
I believe that music is an important part of all of us, and a think that bind us together, because EVERYONE needs music in their life. 
I don't have and specific gender or type, but if I had to say who my favorite singer is, I would tell you "Bruno Mars". I really love his music and he's a really great singer. 

Economic Empowerment for Women

I would lend money to Ericka Patricia, because she seems like a hard worker woman and her incomes have shown it. She has a plan and she knows how to apply it. Her ideas are really good and organized  and I believe that she can achieve her purpose.
