NAMASTE .



Are we all African ?

EP
===








National Genographic is running a project by collecting
DNA contributed by hundreds of thousands of people from around
the world. , in order to find out humankind's ancient migration stories.
And most of the DNA studies suggest that all humans today descend from a
group of African ancestors who—about 60,000 years ago—began
the remarkable journey.

So ... are we all African OR we're all the same ?

My " fatty " weekend .

# i can feel the coming of FAll as well as the coming of HALLOWEEN .

# How come the Wax figure sitting there can be so vivid like something " real " ?

# Made lunch for my sister , the bavette with tomato paste and shrimps ,
no recipe ... i just made it up myself with all ingredients i can found at home .
# Classic chocolate chips cookies , my first attempt to bake cookies .

very inside are soft like sponge .. Weirdo .

The Portuguese of Hawaii

HP
####

Today, there are many cultures in Hawaii that represent the island's rich cultural heritage. One of these ethnicities include the Portuguese.

The Portuguese brought the ukulele to Hawaii. This guitar-like instrument, the ukulele, is still used today. And even recreational games such as the Horse shoe.




They also brought Portuguese bean soup ( which my dad loves it with pieces of bread in it ) and other delicious treats such as, sweet bread malasadas and chouriço or linguiça. All of these scrumptious foods are still chosen today for meals and snacks.



Today, the Portuguese understand that there is an importance to preserve the Portuguese culture. This has marked a new trend among the Portuguese as a renewal of their ethnic culture. They want to keep their culture alive by separating it from the Caucasian culture.
