What I thought was interesting about Iceland is that it is VERY healthy! but... They drink a lot of Coca-Cola so... they are a mixture of both I guess! I was shocked when
ReplyDeleteI saw Egypt was about the same size as Texas!
Something that mast be really shocked is that Iceland has no military at all!
I think these two countries are AMAZING for ifair . Here are cool facts about Egypt. It is the size of Texas, they have so so so so much pyramids.Here are some facts about Iceland . They love their Cokes. Their Anthem has NO words.
ReplyDeletePeople in Iceland live longer than people in the USA. Egypt is roughly the size of Texas. Iceland is part of Europe. Egypt is 90 percent Muslim and 10 percent Christian.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite facts are that in Iceland a volcano erupts every 4 years, in Egypt they love to play soccer and Iceland is considered part of Europe. It was surprising to hear that Iceland has no military. I had fun learning about both of these special places and I am so excited for I-Fair!
ReplyDeleteSome facts about Iceland that I'v learned so far are, there are 13 days of Christmas, and they ate BLOOD pudding. Also, Saturdays are known as candy day. Some facts about Egypt are, Christmas is on January 7, and it took more than 20 years to build the pyramid of Giza!
ReplyDeleteI think that how Egypt loves soccer is so cool. I'm hoping to learn more about the Volcanos in Iceland. I thought it was cool how Icelanders have one sibling. It's different how everyone has to learn how to swim in school. I wonder why Texas and Iceland are about the same size.
ReplyDeleteIceland is known as the land of fire and ice. Also the black plague killed half of the population in Iceland. Egypt's first pyramid was built in 2500 BC. The US is only 10 times bigger then Egypt.
ReplyDeleteDid you know 1 quarter of Egypt can't read or write? Also, Egypt's median age is 24!?
ReplyDeleteWOW! So young! Some cool facts about Iceland, are that they celebrate Christmas for 13 days? That's a lot of fruitcake! And most kids (young or old) have PHONES!?
LUCKY! I can't wait to find out more!
I wonder if ether Country celebrate birthdays. Iceland is not always cold. Iceland has 130 volcanoes only 18 are active. Egypt celebrates 13 days of Christmas. Christmas starts the 24 and ends January 6th. Iceland is known for fire and ice.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to learn that most people in Egypt have three siblings! I did not know that Egypt is ninety percent Muslim and ten percent Christian! In contrast, Iceland is mostly Christian. Also, I did not know that Iceland is considered part of Europe! It was so interesting to know that Iceland has no military! I really want to take a dip in the hot spring called Blue Lagoon!
ReplyDeleteHalf of the peoples religion is Lutheran church of Iceland. Egypt is roughly the size of Texas. Egypt has a cool language it has cool stop signs. Iceland has heated springs.
ReplyDeleteThe religion of most Icelanders is Lutheran Church of Iceland. It is interesting to know that in Icelandic please and thank you are the same word (tahk). Texas and Egypt are roughly the same size! Christian Egyptians celebrate Christmas on Jan 7, not Dec 25.
ReplyDeleteI have learned a lot from Iceland and Egypt! I am going to do 3 facts that stand out about Iceland and Egypt. First is Iceland number 3, a Volcano erupts every 4 years. 2, only 7 wild animals can be found in Iceland just like arctic foxes, mink, brown rats, black rats, field mice, house mice, and reindeer. 1, they have no Military. I wonder how do they stay safe? Now we do Egypt. Number 3, the United States is 10 times bigger than Egypt. 2, in February it is 57 degree F. 1, kids love fried chicken, fries, potato chips, and candy. And finally my wonder, what types of animals are there?
ReplyDeleteEgypt and Texas are almost the same size. They also love soccer. People in Iceland live longer than people in the U.S.A. Iceland was not always cold.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was interesting that Iceland has no military. And they have 13 days of Christmas! I learned that Egypt is roughly the size of Texas and most people have 3 siblings. I wonder how different it would be if I visited Egypt and Iceland?
ReplyDeleteFirst, my wonders about Egypt, though being in the Sahara Desert and being a ore mining and oil fracking country, is denser than most European countries which is weird because Europe is the densest continent and Egypt is in Africa the least densely populated continent and Egypt is not even the densest country in Africa. Now onto my Icelandic wonders first how does Iceland only have 6% of its citizens being farmers if it does not import that much, also how does Iceland have the largest glacier if it is smaller than Louisiana. Next, my new learning about Iceland the children have to learn to swim during school, also Iceland was a poor longer than it was wealthy, Icelanders enjoy the 5th longest life but are poorer than the United States of America which is not saying much Canada is poorer than the United States of America. Iceland is so healthy that they decided to drink coke instead of milk and candy instead of fish. Next Egypt has more people than Texas which has 27,904,000 people, California which has 37,586,000 people and Florida who has 21,956,000 people combined, though it is only ten square kilometers larger than Texas. Modern Egyptians have on average three siblings which is a little amount compared to Africa where on average it is five siblings. Also on my free time I studied Egypt and I found out on average Egyptians are not healthy they have 34% of people are obese United States it is only 30%. Egypt also is now a ore and oil mining country not a farming or a lumber country like it used to be.
ReplyDeleteEgyptians Christmas is 7 days long. Egypt have lots of facebook users. The people live long in Iceland. Iceland drink lots of coke!
ReplyDeleteOne of the things I thot was interesting was that Egypt has about 12,0000 people. Did you know that Iceland is the second largest island in Europe. In Egypt the oldest permed is 2,000 years old. In Icelandic please is Takk.
