How different!

In my country there are many differences between men and women in all aspects: language, the way the greet each other, even the way they think. For example when men speak they always use the word "uon" it does't have an specific meaning but it is something that reflect masculinity. Women will never say that word in their speech, they tend to use the word "chama" which means gals, and they use all the time for example they usually say "hey chamas let's go to the mall" or "that dress looks beautiful chama!". When women greet they kiss on the cheek; That is something that men also do but not between them. they usually have a special greeting with their hands. Another very important difference are the conversation topics men always talk about hobbies o whatever that make them forget the everyday's problems, women instead talk about personals problems and try to help each others. In Venezuela men and women are have differences, however that makes relationships more interesting and bearable because they enjoy learning about each others

Snowboarding at Sunshine!

One of the most exiting things I've done is snowboarding. I went with the activity program to Sunshine during  the fall program, it was the best feeling I've felt. At first I felt a little bit scared about what could happen because I'd heard that some people had died there before. Also I was scared of getting on the gondola because I have a fear of height. Everything changed when I started snowboarding, all that fear turned into an adrenaline rush which made me fell so exited. The fact of going down the hill so fast make me wanting to start again and again. That was my first extreme sport I tired and the most exiting, i can't wait to try it again
