Europe Letter Task

12/09/15


Dear Clarence Cross:

I'm sending this message for tell you about how different is the UK culture to ours (chilean of course). Well you were right about this place everything is different to their clothes from their ideologies even the the cars wheels are in the other side is like they try to tell to the world that they are not like the others countries, that they are the greatest country of the world and that's why they are different to us. These kind of thinking is typical of the English people is quite annoying that they think like that way, but whatever they practically own the world right? If I'm wrong we would not be talking in english right now.

You know that people at the UK have the best security system! I haven't seen anything like it! It feels like being at a James Bond movie every time is someone watching me with those cameras all around the city, not like Chile were with a little bit of luck we get a camera at the ATM's pointing at our credit cards code. And the best part of this place is that they don't use grille around their houses! Nothing like Chile were our houses looks like bunkers for all the security system that we have to buy for the thief do not dare to come inside. Even tho their food habits are different, they eat a lot at breakfast and they practically don't eat lunch, but they then eat again a lot at the dinner. I don't liked this habits I prefer the one we have in Chile is kind a more handy.

Well Clarence I have to go, I'm with a little bit of hurry, the UK is so different and we have a lot of things we have to learn about this country, like you told last time " there is nothing similar like the lands England" you were right, at least mostly because I still found some chileans habits better. We have to discuss it later then!



Sincerely, Juan Salgado
