Cultures

So in my hotel and restaurant management class we are doing a career plan assignment throughout the course of the semester and on career plan module # 2, we had to pick 3 careers we think suited us and also write two paragraphs on why working overseas is beneficial to being the hospitality industry. So it got me thinking about what cultures I want to experience, and let me tell there is a lot! I really want to experience the Latin countries, even though they can be annoying sometimes but if you learn the language and really get to know the culture I believe it becomes easy! My teacher said once in class that we should live overseas for at least 2 years in another country, which I am totally fine with that! I want to live in so many other countries and learn new languages, (I already know the basics of 2), experience different cultures and gain a respect for them. As you know I did live 5 months in Italy and at times it was annoying but I really did love it! I want to go back and really experience more than I did before! I think my mistake was going with people I knew, no offense to them, but I think I would have experienced the culture more if I went on my own. Now I know if I go to other countries that I can do it alone, when I studied abroad I was still pretty shy, and was unsure whether I was confident enough to do something like that without having the support of friends. Now that I did it with friends I believe I can do it by myself and get so much more out of it for me. Anyways here are flags of countries I would love to live in! I thought it would be fun to see who could guess all the flags without peeking on the Internet! I know not a lot of people read this so it will be easy to win! haha and I will make you cookies or something if you guess them all right! I probably make the best chocolate chip cookies ever or you can just get the satisfaction of knowing flags of other countries whatever you want haha.....anyways guess away! I will wait a week to see if anyone guesses...

So... I cheated. My dad helped me. and... I looked on the internet to make sure they were right. But I knew some of them. Does that count? And I took the time to look them up to make sure they were right. :) :) I just really like your chocolate chip cookies.
