What?

The capital of USA is Washington D.C, 

in Washington D.C you'll find the Presidents residence, the famous white house.

 But that's not the only famous city in the states, L.A are famous for gambling, partying and loads of fun and New York (The big apple) is famous for fashion, shopping and of course Times Square.

 Why New York is called "The Big Apple" is because John J. Fitz Gerald, a sports writer for the New York Morning Telegraph, wrote about a race around the big apple in the 1920s. In the early 1920s, "apple" was used in reference to the many racing courses in and around New York City. Apple referred to the prizes being awarded for the races as these were important races, the rewards were substantial.

The main language of America is of course English. In Mexico they speak a lot of Spanish as well.

And why is that? It's because the Mexicans derives from South America where the main language is just, Spanish.

The largest religion in the US is Christianity, practised by the majority of the population. (76% in 2008)

Where?

Picture from this site.

If you are going to visit America, there's some things that you just have see with your own eyes.

 For example the world famous Grand Canyon in Arizona, the Golden gate bridge in San Francisco and of course the Nigiara falls which straddle the U.S.-Canadian border. 

The highest mountain is Mount McKinley in Alaska, it's 6 194 meters above sea level.

 Before I die, I wish to see at least one of these things.  

And some things you just have to experience, like Disney world and Sea World in Florida, L.A and Times Square in New York city.

 If I would go there I would do a “shop-til-u-drop” and create memories that would last a lifetime.

Why I chose to blog about this country

I have chosen to blog about The United States of America. 

As long as I can remember I've always wanted to go there.

My aunt who lives in California opened my eyes for USA when I was a kid.

She visits Sweden every summer and always have so much fun things to tell us when she gets home. I guess I got fascinated by her enchanting stories and wanted to have as much fun as she has.

And not only do my aunt live in America, my cousin went there to study and is now married to the sweetest guy ever and have the two cutest kids alive. She is now living the dream. 

With a big house and a perfect family. And that's not it, my grandpa is American from birth, which makes me a quarter American. So I guess that is the main reasons why I chose this country.

Also because I could take some help from my American soul mate who also visits me during summer. But I'll come back to you on that one, I will totally dedicate her a own blog post. 

XOXO Rebecca
