WEEK 5
In Russia they speak russian. Brazil they speak spanish. In America they speak English. I learned that Russia covers a 1/9 of the earths land mass. Russia only has 142 million people. Russia has 9 different times zones. Russia has the worlds largest forest reserves and 1/4 of the worlds freshwater. I would travel to Russia again, to learn more bout it but not do this blog again. I learned from this assignment not really any thing, the only stuff i really learned bout is listed above.
