 Egyptian tradition credits the uniting of Upper and Lower Egypt to a king called Menes. But that is merely a word meaning 'founder'.

 Although Egypt has a lot of beautiful historical sites and places to visit, I would not like to live her. I get hot easily and I wouldn’t want to wear all that clothing. Egypt is also kind of strict for the dress code as well. People in Egypt like to look people in their eyes for respect but I think that kind of weird when people stare at me in the eyes when talking the whole time.

The Portuguese were the first European settlers to arrive in the area, led by adventurous Pedro Cabral, who began the colonial period in Nonetheless, sugar soon came to Brazil, and with it came imported slaves. In the 19th century coffee took the place of sugar as Brazil's most important product. The boom in coffee production brought a wave of almost one million European immigrants, mostly Italians, and also brought about the Brazilian republic.

 The coffee planters virtually owned the country and the government for the next thirty years, until the worldwide depression evaporated coffee demand. For the next half century Brazil struggled with governmental instability. The immigrant Portuguese language was greatly influenced by the numerous Indian and African dialects they encountered, but it remains the dominant language in Brazil today.The Brazilian dialect has become the dominant influence in the development of the Portuguese language.

WHAT I LIKEDWHAT I DIDN’T LIKE  Brazil has won the soccer world cup five times, more than any other nation. Every Brazilian city has at least one soccer stadium!  Soccer is a good sport to play it keeps you in shape and makes you have nice soccer legs..!  There wasn’t nothing that I didn’t like about brazil. I search for awhile trying to find something but I couldn’t find anything.

 I don’t think I would want to be any other country then my own. The United states is a great place to live. Its diverse with all types of people and cultures. There aren’t really strict rules that everyone has to live by. People can be themselves for the most part. So I like where i am and couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.

 I’m not sure if I would want to live in brazil but I would love to visit there. Brazil is such a beautiful place and has a lot of places to visit and tour. Hopefully once in my life time I will be able to go to Brazil and visit that is one of my life plans to do.
