My trip to United States of America

My trip in the USA was great! I stayed for 20 days in Long Island, New York, in a place called Northport Village. The house was beautiful and comfortable, and I hav my own bedroom!
The house was like 5 minutes from the beach! The beach was quite different compare to Brazil, and there were a lot of little rocks and jellyfish. The water was very cold, even on hot days.
During those 20 days in America, I went to Manhantan in New York City for 2 days to attend a training course in Leadership.
My friend who is named Tabata, has a boyfriend. He drove me to Hamptons, Mountak, Fire Island and some beaches in Long Island.
He invinted his neighbor; a lovely lady named Carol to join us, including his three children named Mary Grace, 16 years-old; Lucas, 11 years-old and Josie, 10 years-old. Theses children are from Tabata’s boyfriend. She didn’t have kids yet.
I did a lot of shopping in outlets, spent a lot of time in the sun and went dancing in clubs and parties.
One thing that I don’t understand about the United States of America: Why aren’t people interested to know about other things outside their country? Why is the journalism on TV only about USA?
When I returned to my house in Brazil there was a magazine on the table. It was the first thing that I saw, and this magazine was called Exame.
There was a Indian woman on the cover and the headline said something like: “We have a lot to learn from this Indian executive”.
At that moment I thought: “If I were in the USA, would this cover be possible? A cover with an Indian woman and Americans asking themselves what they have to learn from her?” I have my doubts!
Despite this, I definitely had a great time there! I miss it very much, especially my friend and the things that we did together, like jogging, bike riding, boat rides, etc.
