Week 3... Off to Guyana!




Hi everyone! Happy Sunday! Today I am off to Guyana, a small country in the northern portion of South America, for the week. The cultural aspect I have decided to follow for the week has to do with the housing of this country. Thanks again to CultureGrams, I have been able to find some ways to decorate my house (specifically my room) to make it look like a typical home of Guyana. I will go out to the store eaither today or tomorrow and find things that are as close to traditional for them as possible, much like I did last week in Myanmar. Some things that I will look for and surround myself with include the following:
-silk flowers
-lace
-bright colors (I will probably hang bright and solid colored cloth)
-velvet on furniture
To be honest, I am a bit nervous about this week. I hope that what I will do will make a difference in the appearance of my room and that I will be able to find these traditional things in American stores. I will keep you updated with pictures and posts. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
