A comparison of Japanese and Australian Housing Japanese and Australian homes are greatly different; Japanese style and design is minimalistic and delicate compared to Australian homes which are quite spacious yet many are ‘cluttered’ with furniture when compared with the Japanese styles. The styles, design, size, construction and the traditions of the two are quite dissimilar. All civilizations use the materials in their building construction which are the most common.

Colonists in New England also had to grow their own food, so they had small farms. Many people lived and worked in town, and grew crops or raised a few animals on a small farm. New Englanders did not live on large, independent farms like settlers in the middle and southern colonies because they did not have either flat land or rich soil. The Chesapeake Bay area, however, had many bodies of water flowing around, through, or near it. The proximity to all of this water affects the environment of the peninsula, causing it to have a very moderate climate.
I am not from New York, so this was not one of the sites I learned about in history class. I enjoyed visiting the street though, and I learned a lot.

Slightly overgrown, weeds peak through the cracks and make an obvious division of the concrete into six concrete panels. The grass of the Grange is slightly dry. There are a few dirt patches and rocky places in the modest landscape. Two large, forest green bushes overtake the two main windows, darkening the house and hiding some of the details in a quick glance.

Like most foraging groups the Mbuti are mobile. The Mbuti move around mainly to allow an area to regenerate its resources. They make simple huts made with branches and leaves. This allows them to travel lightly and build in a day when they reach somewhere new. They don’t carry or have many of possessions because it is impractical when you live in one locale.
In Vietnam, when a person says he or she is going to settle down to America no matter what the purpose is: to immigrate or to study abroad, that person is always considered as the luckiest and the others look at him or her with their eyes of jealousy. People around the world think of America as a nation that can satisfy each person’s individual dreams and give them the opportunity to make their dream come true.
