Its me Alan and today I am going to tell you where I come from and my cultural background.
In India instead of dollars the currency is rupees and everything is cheap compared to New zealand and other countries. In Thiruvananthapuram 50 rupees is 1 dollar in new zealand. Thiruvananthapuram is a nice tourist spot. There are lots of beautiful places in Thiruvananthapuram.
In Thiruvananthapuram the temperature typically varies from 74°F to 91°F and is rarely below 71°F or above 94°F. There are lot of beaches in Thiruvananthapuram because it is in south India and because it is near the sea. India is the second most populated country in the Earth.In India languages, religion, music dance, customs etc vary from place to place as there are 29 states. Me and my family came from Kerala state, in southern part of India.
Kerala also know as God's own country and is rich in coconut trees
Most of our families live in ancestral homes along with grandparents. Families are always bonded together. We don't find much Old age homes in India as the grand parents are taken care of by their sons. We respect each other very much. We are not allowed to call any of our older ones by their names, but instead we have to address them by respectful names like aunty, uncle, chechi, chetta, appacha, ammachi etc.
There are lot of festivals in India. Here is a list of festivals in India :
So that's it I hope you liked my blog post and please write me a comment.
Hello Alan, its me Parwin! I see you are also doing the SLJ, the challenge is on!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your long blog post as it included a lot of information about your culture but also about India and it was great that you included extra information too. I know know a lot about India!
While I was reading the timetable thing, when it said Eid ul fitr, it caught my eye because in my religion, we also have that and we also have Eid Qurban as well! We also don't call elderly's by their name like they call some people Miss or Mister, we call them Khalay or Kaky. Khaly is said to a lady and Kaky is for a Man.
I think that you did an awesome job, but maybe if you presented on a website or something, it would make it even better! But you still did an awesome job!
Which festival do you enjoy the most and why?
Awesome work!
Looking forward to your next posts,
Parwin

Kia ora Alan,
ReplyDeleteWell done on completing another Summer Learning Journey activity. Keep up the good work and keep those points rolling in.
Wow, you have made Thiruvananthapuram sound wonderful and you have used great descriptive words to help me imagine just what it is like. How long have you lived in New Zealand? Do you like it here in New Zealand?
I really like the table you have included with all of the festivals on it, well done.
Until next time, happy blogging :)
