Today in human geo we talked more indepth on the world leaders. There is a new leader in china and his name is Xi Sinping. He takes over the president position from Hu Jintao who was in the leading postion for ten years. His son is attending Harvard University and Xi also spent time in the USA. So he may run China in a more Demoratic fashion. We also talked about the assignment which is four questions for me 5 countries. I picked Afganistan, Iran, Mexico, Brazil and, Venezuela. So I will be working on that in my next post. It will take an hour which kind of stinks with all of the other work that I have to do but I've had worst definatily. So far I have to say, this is a fun class! I'm really enjoying it so far.

Today in human geo we talked about world leaders. I did not know that China's terms as president is 10 years. That is a lot compared to america that only has 4 years per term. In Iran there leader Mahmoud really hard to pronounce last name want to take the jews out or at least get them out of the middle east all because they are not muslim in a world that muslims flood the land. So he has bombs that he is trying to make to wipe out Israel. He thinks that only muslims can control the middle east. So he is trying to get rid of one group to make room for his own.
