Every place has something special

Since I have been in the United States, I have learned that there are common and different aspects between Venezuela and the United states. Even though both societies share some characteristics, the nature of their people has produced each association.
First, in the two countries you can find many kind people in the small cities. They can help you if you need some information and make you feel pleasant. Nevertheless this behavior changes, in the same proportion, when the people go to the big cities. There are beautiful natural places in both countries, but the environments are different as well.

 However, the social development of both societies has been different and some habits and conditions have made both associations unique. The American people have strong norms about responsibility, punctuality and other things, while in Venezuela sometimes the people forget how important these are. Otherwise, The United States' economy is more developed, which makes the public services, have good conditions and the persons can enjoy them, something that is not usual in Venezuela.

 It is really important to mention that the two societies have many good aspects and we all have to value them, care and improve as well. We have to learn from each other, the mistakes and the successes, be responsible as well. Both societies have left to lose good characteristics that we can recover. Could be interesting to be able to share the good thing of both society, but now I am blessed to have the chance to know and learn.

Have fun in Iowa City!!!!!

Since i have been in Iowa City, i had have many chances to know interesting places like the Reservoir, The Apple farm and The Coralville waterpark. The first place that i know was the reservoir. There, you can make a lot of activities including swim, taning, and play football as well.Even you can go to Solon and find the entrance of the Reservoir where yo can rent boat to go over the lake.
Two week ago, i went to the Apple Farmer to choise between all the kind of apple that you can find there. It is really funny, you can walk across the farm, taste all the apple that you want, choose more tasty and make a picnic as well.
The Labor Day weekend i was in the Coralville Waterpark, there are a couple of waterslides, a big swimming pool and one cafeteria. Is a good place to share with your friend, is close to Iowa City and the ticket is cheap.
In fact, when you start to share with the people who live in Iowa City you can realize that there a lot of places in Iowa to have fun.

Who Am I?????

Hi! everybody!!!

My name is Ambrosio Melendez,I'm 32 year old. I'm building this blog because i' like my classmate know something more about me and where i come from. I'm from Venezuela and i'm here, in Iowa City, Learnig english.

I was born in a city placed in the mid-north states named Valencia, but i grew up in Barquisimeto ( In the west of Venezuela). After i graduated from High School, I moved to Valencia to start my undergraduates studies in Chemical Engineering. In December 2002 i got my engineering's degree and I started to work with food process.

In 2003 i enroled in graduate studies in Food Biotechnology to consolidate all the knowledge in the area of food sience. I was working like High School teacher during a year while i was studying my postgrade. Evenmore, i was studying another graduate study about Teaching Skills for Non-Teaching Professional at the same time that i was studying Food Biotechnology.

After my teaching job, i work in a dairy and beverage factory like Production Supervisor in the Dairy Section for almos three years. Then, I feel that i should improve my english and apply for other graduate studies because they can still help me to expand my job's perspectives.

I'm trying to get these goal because in the neary future i'd like to start my family to continue with the life's cycle, and i'd like be able to have enough time to share all the home's activities.
