Race Around the World
By: Tyeler
Region 1
Brazil
Dear God,
I am currently in Brazil, and it is the best day of my life. While I have
been down in Brazil I been looking at some new stuff like the
waterfalls, the animals and lots more interesting things. I also
learned how to speak in different languages like Portuguese,
Spanish, English, and French. Did you know that Brazil is one of the
largest democracies in the world? Brazil is also a federative
republic. Brazil is the largest country in the world and also known as
the fifth populous. As I was saying at the beginning how I saw some
interesting stuff like the waterfalls, well most of the waterfalls are
incredible, the waterfall that I saw is so wonderful I mean its like you
picturing its your dream home eating fruits and sandwiches and just
getting relaxation its just the greatest thing on earth.

Sub-Sahara
Namibia
Dear God,
I’m back. Well in the last letter I said I was in brazil.
Well I’m currently in Namibia. Namibia is really different
from Brazil. I learned that Dead Vlei is one of Namibia's
cemeteries. I also learned that all cemeteries are
different from others, this cemetery has trees instead of
stones. Isn’t that weird!? Have you ever thought about
kids being professional scientist? Well way back in the
day they had kids in the eleventh grade being
professional scientist. Well I wish I could write more but i
gotta go. So hope you see more in the rest of region 2.

Economy
• Namibia's economy is closely tied to that
of South Africa through a number of
institutional relationship's - in particular the
Southern African Custom's Union and the
Common Monetary Area - as well as
through extensive trade and financial
flows.

Egypt
Dear God,
•
I’ve now left Namibia and I’m currently in Egypt. I’ve been waiting to get
here. I heard so many things about Egypt. I plan on learning about the
different languages they speak, their economy, and more cooler things.
Throughout my presentation of Egypt you will learn more about it. Well gotta
go so I’ll catch u next time. I also learned that the ancient Egyptians thought
of Egypt as being divided into two types of land, the 'black land' and the 'red
land‘. I also read in an Article that is says “The regularity and richness of the
annual Nile River flood, coupled with semi-isolation provided by deserts to
the east and west, allowed for the development of one of the world's great
civilizations. A unified kingdom arose circa 3200 B.C., and a series of
dynasties ruled in Egypt for the next three millennia. The last native dynasty
fell to the Persians in 341 B.C., who in turn were replaced by the Greeks,
Romans, and Byzantines. It was the Arabs who introduced Islam and the
Arabic language in the 7th century and who ruled for the next 7th century”
Isn’t that weird? Well I can’t find out about Egypt’s weather but it seems like
the weather is on and off, like sometimes it can be cold and windy and
snowy, and sometimes it can even be warm, nice out, and other weather
issues. Well gotta go hope you see and learn more about Egypt throughout
this slideshow.

Economy
Lack of substantial progress on economic
reform since the mid 1990s has limited foreign
direct investment in Egypt and kept annual GDP
growth in the range of 2-3 percent in 2001-03.
The existence of a black market for hard
currency is evidence that the government
continues to influence the official exchange rate
offered in banks. In September 2003, Egyptian
officials increased subsidies on basic foodstuffs,
helping to calm a frustrated public but widening
an already deep budget deficit.

Middle East
“Turkey”
Dear God,
Well I’m back. I am now currently in the Middle
East (Turkey). I just got in so I don’t know what it is
like here. I plan on learning about their culture, how
they like to live there life, what there currency is,
and what there languages they speak, and
everything else that I can find out about Middle
East, Turkey.
I also plan on learning about what there
weather is like and everything else. I hope you see
more about Turkey throughout my slide show and
hope you will come down here in Turkey and learn
about all of the things I learned. Turkey is gonna be
great I will have a lot of fun.
I will hope that I will have a great time and
have the best time of my travelings days.

Economy
Turkey is divided into 16 provinces. In addition
to the capital and major ports, the country's major
cities include Białystok, Bydgoszcz, Bytom,
Częstochowa, Gdańsk, Gliwice, Katowice, Kraków,
Łódź, Lublin, Poznań, Radom, Tarnowskie Góry, and
Wrocław. The Turkish economy grew rapidly in the
mid-1990s, but growth has slowed considerably in
recent years. Throughout the 1990s the United

Region 5
Europe
Poland
Dear God
Well it’s been great to be traveling across the world. I’ve had so much
fun its been amazing. Well now I’m currently in Poland I just came from
Romania. I cultured a lot of new events and writings of old Ancient Egypt.
In Poland I plan to learn a lot of things like what languages they
speak, their race, their economy, and many other interesting facts about
Poland. I hope I will have a great time and hope you learn more about
Poland through my slides of Poland.
I have learned that Poland began to form into a recognizable unitary
and territorial entity around the middle of the 10th century under the Piast
Dynasty. I also found out that Poland was also a center of migration of
peoples and the Jewish community began to settle and flourish in Poland
during this era. I also found out that Poland adopted a new constitution in
May in 1997, after eight years of debate but public support was lukewarm.
I feel great about being here because I can explore everything here
and learn more things about Poland. I really hope I can enjoy myself just
exactly like I’ve been doing in all of my other countries I’ve been doing.
Hope you learn lots about Poland through my slides and hope to hear about
you being here one day.

Poland’s Economy
•
Poland is governed under the 1997 constitution. The bicameral parliament
consists of a 460-seat Sejm (lower house) and a 100-seat Senate (upper
house). Members of both bodies are elected for four-year terms. Poland has
steadfastly pursued a policy of economic liberalization throughout the 1990s
and today stands out as a success story among transition economies. Even
so, much remains to be done. The privatization of small and medium stateowned companies and a liberal law on establishing new firms has
encouraged the development of the private business sector, but legal and
bureaucratic obstacles alongside persistent corruption are hampering its
further development. Poland's agricultural sector remains handicapped by
structural problems, surplus labor, inefficient small farms, and lack of
investment. Due to political uncertainty, the zloty has recently depreciated in
relation to the euro, while currencies of the other euro-zone aspirants have
been appreciating. GDP per capita equals that of the three Baltic states.

Southeast Asia
Dili
Dear God,
Hey! I’m back! Well I really enjoyed myself
while I was in Poland. I’ve learned a lot. Well
throughout this presentation I have loved to learn
about their culture, their state facts, their currency,
religion, and languages. I also conclude that all of
my regions have similarities and differences. The
differences are that they all don’t have the same
money, the same regions, and the same history.
The similarities is that they have nothing in
common really. The only thing that they have in
common is that they all have differences.
Well gotta finish the rest of my presentation.
Hope you enjoy the final piece.
