Hurling


Troy O'Sullivan here to talk about hurling here in Ireland. Hurling is the most typically Gaelic of Ireland's national games. It's an extremely fast sport played with two teams of fifteen. The goal posts resemble the ones used in rugby. Each half in a game is thirty minutes and thirty-five in semi-final and finals games. In the south there are extremely violent matches.

Irish Music

Hey, it's Troy O'Sullivan again to tell you about Irish music. Ireland is the only country with a musical instrument as its national emblem-the harp. Traditional song and dance are the most vibrant part of our culture. The oldest form of Irish music is generally called sean-nos' singing is a highly ornate, unaccompanied, individual style associated for the most part with songs in Irish. Traditional songs in English include national ballads and native Hiberno-English songs.

Hugh Jass here


Hey its hugh Jass today i want to talk about the famous anne frank. Anne Frank was born in the city of Frankfurt am main Weimar Germany but she mostly lived her life in Amsterdam. She was born June 12th 1929 and died in Early March in 1945 in a concentration camp during wwII. Her house is a museum in Amsterdam and its a good tourist place, so if your wondering where to go in Amsterdam than you must go here.

Belgium Flag


Hey guys! I haven't talked a lot about Belgium's history, so I wanted to tell everyone about my new found knowledge on the flag. Belgium's flag is black, gold, and red stripes in a vertical pattern. The flag was created based on France's flag. Belgium adopted the flag to show its independence and the colors of the flag represent the coat of arms. The country adopted the flag on January 23, 1831. The flag's colors are shown in the coat of arms, the gold stands for the lion, the black is the shield, and the red is the lion's tongue and claws. Hope you enjoyed learning about Belgium's flag!

Krzysztof here. We go to a lot of shows in Poland. I specially like play kind of shows. My mom likes opera, but I am not a big fan of it. I like comedy shows.

Sweden ...


Hey its Isabella again and for the last time, this is my last post. I hope that I have helped you learn more and more about Sweden. I have enjoyed telling you about Sweden and all that they do there. I learned a lot just by telling everyone about it. I hope that I can make it up here in Sweden just for a little bit longer. Like they say in Swedish "hej" which means bye.

Dario's Living


Hey everyone, Today I am going to tell you how we live here in Italy. Most people in Italy live in a nice place. Most of all Italy is beautiful so its pritty easy to have a nice place to live. I live in a great beatiful House that I love greatly. I have been living there for about 8 years.

German Etiquette

In Germany it is very rude to not use Mr. or Ms. unless invited to do so. In germany the common greeting here is a firm handshake. also when you go to a german's home it is common etiquette to bring them a gift of yellow roses, chocolate, or imported wine. in germany when invited to dinner do not arrive early arrive right on time because punctuality is important. when you go into someone's house for dinner do not sit until shown to a seat.

Dario's Job

Hello everyone, today I am going to talk about my Job and what I like to do. To get started I work for the government. Which means I know a lot of stuff, and if you work for the government in Italy that means big money. I have been working with them for about 6 years. I enjoy what i do and would change it for anything. Sometimes they let me go undercover which is awsome but often scary to. Although this might be a tough job I love working with them.

Attractions to see in Frankfurt,Germany






1) The Frankfurt skyline is a big attraction because of the sky scrappers, belonging to the tallest buildings in Europe.

3) The old part of Frankfurt call Frankfurt Romer is the most visited attraction. There you can find town hall and many parks and gardens.



4) Another site to visit is the Wartburg Castle. Germany has many many castles, and this one is right in Frankfurt, just 2 hours aways from most of the attractions.

Pride for Mother Italy


As an Italian i have an excess of pride for my provider. Living in possibly the greatest country in the world fills me with happiness everyday. Our colors can be seen everywhere from bike shops to our sports stadiums. Every person bleeds red, white, and green. Since this is my final post i would like evryone to know that Italy should always be a target when traveling. Just call me up and we can set something up.

sports in sweden

Hey its Isabella, today is going to be the best day ever. I get to go watch a curling match. Curling is a competition between 2 teams with 4 players. This game is always done on ice. The 2 teams take turns pushing the 42-pound stone toward big circle rings. For example like the picture at the top. The point of the game is to get the stones as close into the center as possible. The picture at the bottom is an example of the 42-pound stone that you have to push down the ice. I am really excited to see who wins.

Edinburgh Castle

And yet again, it's Ian. Today I'm going to talk about Edinburgh Castle. First of all, it is the home of the Scottish Crown Jewels. Apparently, there are indications of the castle being as old as second century AD. The location makes the castle nearly impregnable, but at the same time the basalt it is built on does not allow much water through, and providing water to the upper wards has always been problematic. This is especially a problem under siege conditions. The castle is also the home of Mons Meg, a six ton siege cannon.
