Food for thought.
Hi its been a long time since I posted something but with two small children, that's how it works. Anyway I met a woman the other day at our park for the community and she was there with her 15-month-old son. We started talking and I discovered that he was originally from Argentina and also as I had come to America at the age of 24-25. I was fascinated that his culture was so similar to ours. The road is their family structure and reactions to the situations are very similar.It comes from Argentina and his native language is the Spanish. He was talking about how Argentina has people from all backgrounds and most of them were descendants of Italian and Arabic countries. I was so happy listening to everything he had to say about their country, people and food. Their food consists of salads, Pasta, fajitas and most importantly fillet which was regular. This was mainly due to the influence of Italian and Spanish.Another interesting fact was that when we listen to Spanish immediately we think but Mexican in Argentina history, indigenous people were murdered and exterminated and why have no less Mexican and Italian influences and more.Also like us they are very curious and social. As I said even if we buy bread that we ended up talking for hours and family is the core. It was a pleasure to meet and interact with it.After I returned home, did me think that the world is in fact so small. There are many countries with its own unique culture, people and different qualities but they share some similar Customs and features here and there that makes us think about why we have so much violence and wars.Peace...You think about it
