Question one is do you speak another language other than English weather in South Africa at school we are taught at all and do do so yes I can understand with some pieces of it and my mom still speaks Afrikaans to me when she's trying to say something and secret from the kids or whatever and you know I can respond to her butt okay no I was just wondering if you to learn learning another if you grow up learning another language that was just wondering about you in particular and then you did say that children go to school with wait did you say with no shoes or that they go to school with shoes and they take them off when they go in yeah so it's when they're younger they don't have to wait until they are put in brake one and then they have to wish these into school and then they take them off while they're at school day and then they have to leave and it's just yearly because they want you to look Smart in your uniform when you're out of the school but wearing shoes is just not necessary and I mean Ethan way you'll go to the shopping malls with your kids and that's so interesting things and the reason why I had the question is because when I went to Japan I went to visit his school and they do not use their street shoes in the class they have different school shoes a basically they go with school I mean with their street shoes they take them off they put them in the little locker and then they take their school shoes but they have school shoes so that's why I was curious to see see it's I think it's so fabulous to learn about all of this little Mittens from Africa trying every country thank you so much for your time with a wonderful person station and we all learned so much thank you again I really feel like you all brought us into your country with the colors in the music I can only seven 1 and I were even getting a little emotional during those videos it's just so incredible that you actually make us feel like we're in the middle and Sylvia and Delia I have a question for you too if you're able to I'm you very serious from you two now you brought us all over Mexico and you showed us the color isn't in the music and the food and the dancing so I'm very curious just like in the United States we have different air right we have country areas where there aren't many people that we have cities where there are just a ton of people know we have beaches is it similar in Mexico where cuz I think a lot of people think of Mexico they think of a lot of activity in a lot of pain a lot of action but are there our area is much more country type of berry is and I'll part beaded that question is where did you to grow up and what was that area like You're So Vain mine my dad had different jobs around the country so yes there are different various different subcultures there the northern part the stallion part where most of our indigenous Community star in the southern end in the jungle over in the Northeast more like an industrial area it's more Eric is the desert and yes there are very small. is there big cities like Mexico City while the hot out or Monterey I was born in Mexico City my parents are from Mexicali when she saw Bordertown it right here in California California and some but I also lived in Guadalajara what you said the other big and very traditional City and any see another one which is a very small town in Sonora Desert sokai guys I was born in a state that is located in the Northwest which is Sinaloa we are famous for many beautiful things and we grow we grow our targets are so I only saw for tile that we really when you go to the grocery stores all those tomatoes and peppers are coming from my hometown it's super hot we usually we don't go there and June July because it's so humid to get out of the shower and you are sweating a lot so will usually go to go there in December people we are married and it's hot and humid but it's fun and it's not that super f*** I'm here by the state of Sinaloa and the copy from the capital of that state is culiacan we love baseball.
