Growing up a phrase that always passed through my ears was, “Never talk about religion or politics to people.” Thinking about it now, I can agree to that statement under some circumstances such as an interview. Would not want to risk getting on the wrong foot with my employer! In other circumstances, I believe it should be talked about (respectfully and peacefully). If we are not having a conversation, how are we supposed to develop as an individual and as a collective nation. Some people would…

As it turned out, my trip that year was a wonderful experience because of the food, culture as well as the shopping experience. As I walked around the…

On Halloween they had apple cider and powder sugar donuts. For Christmas Santa Claus would bring the tree on Christmas Eve when he brought all the presents, but they would leave their tree up well into the New Year.
