I would like to share my experience with you. I was born in the Czech Republic. That is in the center of Europe. But, I also spent one year in America, and I will continue probably my life here for the next several years. I’d like to compare the two cultures.
Let’s start with Europe because it is still closer to me. Countries in Europe are very old. There were many wars in Europe’s past, yet a lot of culture was saved. We can find a very old colosseum in Rome where gladiators were fighting for their lives. Venice is well know for her transportation through canals on boats. Paris has its Eiffel Tower and the most famous museum in this world, the Louvre. We can find any culture in this museum. It is too big to see all of it in one day, and it makes you want to go to France again and again. Also if you decide to take a tour through Europe, you hve to visit definitely Prague. This capital city also has really old culture, and it is in pristine condition. You can find here Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, the astronomical clock and so many others sights.
In summary, Europe has really old history, and there are so many different types of architecture such as gothic, renaissance, symbolism, romanticism, realism, baroque, rococo, secession, and others.
America, on the other han
d, isn’t as old as Europe, so it is not easy to find such deep culture here. Everyone knows of the Statue of Liberty that is in New York that Mr. Eiffel made for America. This country took a culture from other countries–like Asia, Africa and Europe. Immigrants brought their own ideas and cultures from their homelands. In America, there is no one culture; it is a mixture of many, many different cultures. American people are so proud of their country, and they show it on every corner with flags and the Pledge of Allegiance. Also, there are so many states in America and each of them has a different accent, dialect, food and culture.
While America doesn’t have as long and as rich a culture as Europe, you can find here beautiful architecture, national pride, and a diverse culture.

gnificent. All the food was made with simple ingredients; however, every bite appealed to every taste bud. The presentation of the dishes was glorious. Although simply decorated, every dish was so attractive that I almost didn’t want to take a bite. The simplistic style of cooking produced the ultimate enjoyment of taste. There are no words to describe the absolute ma
gnificence of my culinary experience. Hirooichie opened the door for me to observe the artisanship of Japan.

and her family moved to Mexico. She and her sister were both placed in a school where no one spoke a bit of English. This situation forced her to become fluent, and she still believes the best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it. She returned to the states and attended Georgetown University in Washington D.C. At Georgetown, she majored in Global Health and studied other languages including Portuguese. Though her degree is in Global Health, she decided that she wanted a career that was more hands-on. After college, she got a job as a Spanish teacher for elementary kids in Rhode Island. She had always wanted to teach high school, so when she heard about the job at Palm Valley she decided to pack up and move across the country. She packed up her car and her puppy Logan and drove across country. She is getting settled at Palm Valley, and she is extremely excited to coach Cross Country for middle and lower schoolers.

her mom again mentioned teaching (and the summer breaks!). Ms. Lee started to consider a career in Education. When she went down to Baja California on a mission trip where she worked with local children, she was hooked. This experience helped her realize the value of education and inspired her to be a teacher. After many years in New York, Ms. Lee was very excited to leave the craziness of the city and move to the peaceful Coachella Valley.
