You made beautiful, colorful and expresive pictures. We have learned from your pictures that important for you is Thanksgiving Day and Halloween. You have fun on birthdays party, on shopping, school party, and you play Double Dutch on streets and you play basketball.
You like dance and watching TV. You're proud that you are Americans, you have your own heroes, you dream about a trip in space. In your churches there is very cheerfully.

Here are the similars and the differents of our cultures:
Similars: play games on the streets, watching TV, shopping, birthday party, school party, have fun with friends.
Differents: Halloween, Double Dutch, flight in space, national holidays.

There are some of the ideas that you presented that suprised us:
Happy Halloween - fun, party, happy, jokes, candies, drinks...
We don't have Halloween, we have All Saints holiday in Poland, and this is pretty sad and respectable holiday. We are going to the church first, and later we're going to cemetery to pray at the graves of ours dead kins, put the flowers on it and light a candles.
We're suprised that you didn't show any nature, forest, river etc. Only one picture shows a mountains on painting. Here, we have mountains, forests and rivers very near and we love to spend there our free time. We like your cheerfully churches.
What are rules of the Double Dutch? How long, how to move, who is winner etc.? Could you show us that, please?

Thank you for shown us your culture. We know Harlem only from a movie „Nun on the Run”.
It 's fantastic that we can touch your pictures from New York and read your words.
