Travel to Singapore | By Esteban A.
Singapore is a fascinating country in Southeast Asia. The main reason why its recommended by many people is because of its luxurious hotels, its airport called Jewels Changi Airport, and Orchard Road. But one hotel that it is really known by is “Marina Bay Sands,” which is next to the Singapore beautiful sea. It would astonish your eyesight, especially if you are at the infinity pool during a sunset. If you were to travel one day to Europe during a school break or just during vacation, I would suggest going to Singapore to experience so many things that aren’t that common to see here in New York City.
Facts: Some things about Singapore that is extremely rare in countries is that Singapore is a city-state, which means that the country only has one city.
Fun Fact: If you fly from JFK airport to any of Singapore’s airport, you will experiencing the longest plane travel in the world rounding up to 18 hours and 40 minutes on the same flight with no stops whatsoever.

Africa: Guinea Conakry | By Maimouna B.
My favorite city in the country of Guinea is Conakry. Conakry is one of my favorite cities because it is the city where I was born. It is sometimes very hot in conakry. There are black people in Conakry, who are beautiful inside and out. What makes us most beautiful is our culture and traditions.
There are so many delicious types of food in my country. For breakfast there is food like salad and plat. For lunch there is futi and guinea soup. For dinner there is attieke.
There is also a lot of animals in conakry. In conakry people don’t have pets like in United State of America. There are a lot of stray cats and dogs all around the country.
