How the blog is

This blogging thing is really great. Everything that we learn is really interesting. It is really cool to talk to people in different countries and states. And also, get the point across that everyone in Texas isn't a cowboy.

One thing that I didn't like is the complexity. It is really hard to read Korean if I don't even know what it looks like. So, I wasn't able to communicate with the Koreans. This was basically the only downer. Yay!

Diverse Populations in the USA

The United States is a country of immigrants. Therefore, most of the people living here have ancestry somewhere else. So yes, we have a very diverse population. Especially here in Texas and in Austin. We have large numbers of African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Caucasians and everything in between. We have a very diverse state and city.

Favorite Places in the US

My favorite place in the US is Washington, DC. I thought that it was really cool because that's where the president and many other important people live. Also, you see it in movies a lot and it's cool to actually be there. Another reason is, those people cross states A LOT. Texas is the 2nd biggest state, so when we cross state lines, it's sort of a big deal and an interesting experience. But up in the northeast, you can't really tell Maryland for Virginia, or Delaware from New Jersey, or New York from Connecticut or Massachusetts from Rhode Island, etc.

Terroritst Attacks in the United States

We haven't had any terrorist attacks since 2001. But, many people in our government and across the country think that we are still vulnerable. It is a big topic right now, as the presidential elections are taking place this week on November 4, 2008.

Anderson High School--Blog Post for 10-18-08

Anderson is really diverse with a lot of different cultures and clubs. I've only been there for about 3 months, so I'm still learng about it.

Illegal Immigrants

In Texas we have a lot of illegal immigrants from Mexico. Texas shares a very large border with Mexico and you can definitely see the Mexican influence in places such as San Antonio. The U.S. has Border Patrol officers and extensive fencing to keep these illegal immigrants out of the U.S.
