   I interviewed my coworker about her trip to Taj Mahal. She went to India to a Yoga’s course during one month.
   During this vacation she visited Taj Mahal. She mentioned to me that it is amazing place and a lot of people visit this place. Well, she felt like a big emotion seeing this increible building with her eyes.
   It appears like a perfect pearl the did to his wife with pure love and the people there look a passion architecture. It was more than she expectated, she said.

     -increible–> incredible
     -the did to his wife with pure love–> this part is unclear

   Hi Ryan, this is my second homework. I’m going to talk about Chichén Itzá.

   For this homework, I spoke whit a friend who visited that place the last year.
   She told me that been in that place was an amazing experience for her because it’s a magical place. She said that Chichén Itzá is a huge pyramid and used to be a temple for Maya’s God.
   She told me that Chichén Itzá have a lot off stairs and have two snakes on each side. Actually, she said to me that snakes are holy for Maya’s Citizens.
   She said to me that around that pyramid the people can found a huge Maya City and that Chichén Itzá is located in a National Park where the weather is very hot and inside of that place all tourist can buy a lot of souvenirs.

   Thaks!!! See you on Saturday!!!

   I interviewed my uncle because He visited Coco Island. My uncle told me that: He went to Coco Island as a volunteer. He stayed in the island for one month and He worked in different jobs in the island for example: clean the beach, cook and patrol in the beach.
   I learn about the island that: the island was indicated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. It is the only emergent island of the Cocos plate. “Cerro Iglesias” is the highest place in the island. The island have many Flora and fauna and the most important is that the island have fauna and flora endemism, the following list is the flora and fauna endemics in the National Park: 70 plants, 64 insects, 2 lizards species, 3 spiders species, 4 birds, more than 200 fish. Exist two versions about name of the Island, the first it’s because the island has many water inside as a “Coco” and the second it´s because the island have palms tree. The “Genius River” Bridge, It was made with marine debris.
   Finally He told me that the trip to island was an amazing opportunity and It’s gratifying to help the beautiful island. I will like to visit the island as a volunteer but I scared the sea snake and I need one month minimum of vacations.
   Regards,
   Marjorie

   My friend Helen went to Machu Picchu 3 months ago.

   She said it was a magical experience. The people was friendly. She said that a taxi driver told her: “Only thing you will be stolen here be your heart”.

   She traveled on a train and bus from Cusco to MP. On the way, she saw a beautiful landscapes.

   She told me that MP was hided by mountains and nature.

   She said was sad to know that many natal people cannot visit MP because of the price of the transportation, wich is very expensive.

   About the food, she said it was very cheap and delicious. She ate alpaca meat, corn with cheese, ceviche, tamal, beer called Cusqueña and a traditional drink make with eggs and lemon.

   Same as you posting this assignment, I was really slow doing it hahaha….But isn´t my fault, It was difficult to interview my friend, because he is a bussy man…working, traveling, family…. you know what it means, but finally it was done!

   Here are some facts about the Great Wall of China my friend told me:

   He went to China on a working travel, to share knowledge with Chinese people who works in the same company he does. It took him two days traveling from Costa Rica to China. He told me he went there because that place was in his pocket list of places to visit before he die, hahaha.He told me have being in that place was like a dream. He also told me The Great Wall of China had 21 126 Km long, but he just walked 1 km in one hour, because was a hard way there. He thinks that it really is a wonder of the world, and he doesn´t understand how this could have be done without today’s technology.

   My friend was in China for two weeks, he aet there weird things like duck´s heads, mushrooms and snails!!!! He told me it was good, but just for one time…

   He hopes he could be there again soon, it was wonderful, he said.

   See you Ryan!
