Throughout my experience in 5th grade, I've learned a lot about the Philippines, which is located in a place called Oceania. The Philippines are well known for many reasons, but they have many things there that are very similar to what we do here in America! For instance, they are known to have a tropical climate; hot and humid, just like us down here in Houston! While this hasn't happened to us very much, they go through a LOT of natural disasters in the Philippines. Theses natural disasters can vary from Tornadoes to typhoons, which is another word for hurricane. They also do many other everyday things that we do in America; like parallel parking, horse riding, biking, that sorta thing! Yet, there are quite a few things that they do different then us, their cuisine is a mixture of Asian and a few other cultures. Another thing that they have that we don't is certain holidays, some of them celebrate things we normally wouldn't be fond of in America, or some just aren't related to American history or culture all together! The people of the Philippines are actually very hard workers, and they know how to survive! How are they survivors, you ask? They have grown accustomed to living in a part of the world where typhoons are considered NORMAL. But overall, we all know one thing. The Philippines are an amazing place in the world!!!
