Throughout the week we have continued to practice subjunctive. It seems like it never ends. Outside of class I have continued to think of my research paper. I have a few options that intrigue me but it's hard to figure out which I'd prefer to work on, specifically because the availability of data. I want to choose a topic that I am able to find a lot of information while also still enjoying what I'm learning. I have always been the kind of person that gravitates toward culture, specifically cultural differences. It intrigues me to learn about this, which is also why I researched the International Hospitality masters program at the University of South Carolina. I have enjoyed the cultural aspects of different countries, different families, and different regions. When it comes to my paper, I am leaning towards the studies of various festivals and how they reflect on the different cultures of Spanish-speaking countries.
Some of the festivals I have found:
 |
| Kite Festival |
 |
| San Antero |
The San Antero Donkey Festival takes place in Colombia. This is a festival where they decorate donkeys with clothing as well as make-up.
 |
| El Colacho |
Spain El Colacho - this is a festival I found that is literally about men jumping over babies.
These are the strangest festivals I've found around the world. It's almost tempting to solely focus on Spain because of the various different festivals they have in different parts of the country. For example, if you take a look at this website, you'll see 10 of the most bizarre festivals in Spain, one of them being El Colacho.

Ahora es el tiempo de otoño. Estoy pensando en las decoraciones de los estados unidos, y mientras estaba pensando, pensó sobre las decoraciones de España e otros países. Encontré este foto de Sagrada Familia. Que maravillosa! Los colores son magnificos. Esto es lo que ellos se hacen para navidad. Cuando busco fotos con las palabras "España otoño" encontré más fotos con hojas de muchos colores. El foto a la izquierda es de Toledo, una ciudad medieval. Cuando mira a los colores de los edificios con las hojas, se complementan muy bien. Después de mirando los fotos de otoño, empecé de pensando sobre la comida de otoño. Estoy curioso si la comida gira alrededor de las calabazas como aquí. Busca con las palabras "México otoño comida." No hay tanta comida con calabaza. Hay sopa como copa de tortilla. Hay recetas con frijoles y maíz, el maíz es similar a los Estados Unidos. Pero también, hay flan con calabaza. A mí, no me gusta flan, también no me gusta calabaza.
