Breakdancing
Breakdance is a dancing style that comes from the hip-hop and
rap cultures. Puerto Rican and African-American communities
started this type of dance in the 1970s. At that time, it became very
popular in New York City, and later, teenage boys practiced it in
the streets in other big cities in the United States.
Some movements come from the Kung-Fu martial art and other
gymnastics techniques. Dancers always do complicated movements
with the rhythm of hip hop and rap music.
There are important breakdance contests with participants from
different countries around the world. The winners are the dancers
with the most difficult movements.

For example, in the city center the streets
are usually more crowded, and there is more
traffic so drivers need to be more careful

In residential areas, traffic is calmer,

Fish is a very delicious and nutritious food. Eating fish is also

healthier than eating red meats, since it is beneficial for your heart,
eyes, and brain. Dishes that have fish in them are very popular
around the world, but especially in Ecuador.
They are present in the gastronomy of the four regions of the
country. In the Amazon region, for example, people eat a dish
called “Maito.” They prepare it with fish from the river (catfish,
pintadillo) and wrap it in plantain leaves. In the highlands, it is
more common to eat trout. Fishing for trout is also a nice activity
to do on the weekend. On the Ecuadorian coast, people eat a wider
variety of seafood. Thanks to the proximity to the ocean, the fish
are fresher and tastier in this region.
In modern times the different foods from the different regions are
more accessible, so it’s possible to eat food from the coast in the

great dinosaur fossils. Then she became one of the first paleontologists
