Hello Elias, it‘s very corious and interested. Some friends of me found gold in the American river near Secremento 4 weeks ago. Maybe all people in America know that. Here the hell is going on. Here are so many people they all want to find gold in the river and get rich with it. But only a few get gold. All the people got shovel‘s and water to clean the dirt. It looks very interesting. The dirt comes in a funnel and the bid rocks were sorted out. Then the water come over the leftover dirt and clean it. Than the dirts comes in a channel and there were sieves on the ground and the little gold nuggets hang there. It looks very exited.

Hello Jana,

I guess you heard from the Hippies in California. If you didn't, it's worth it. Hippies are young people who see no value in money and goods. They do not have an interest in opinion of others, neither they care about the opinion of their parents. They always wear colourful clothes and usually open and curly hair, even the men. It is fascinating to see how young people can think so clearly. They only hear musicians like Bob Dylan, The Mamas and the Papas. Hippies are also known for their openness in love and sex. They also take marijuana because they think it's going to make them more sprite-like. They are also opposed to the current war in America and their motto is "Make love, not war". I think it is so inspiring to watch people of such a young age who do not engage in the opinion of others and stand up for human rights, peace, openness and tolerance. I hope I can see them at some point and work for them. Hopefully we'll see you soon. Liv

Hello Julia,

Have you ever heard of the San Francisco Hippies?

I really want to see them once. Hippies are young people who have their own special lifestyle. They wear brightly coloured clothes and grow their hair long even as a man. They live as one large family, take drugs like marijuana and protest 1955 to 1975 against the war in Vietnam. At this moment they have the famous motto “Make love”. 100.000 young people have already attended the Summer of Love. I would love to go there too. All visitors should have flowers in their hair and the atmosphere there should also be just fantastic! They have a great taste in music and their clothes look really crazy and colourful. They are very important for encouraging civil rights, peace and especially tolerance and openness. The hippies have already done and changed so much in this world. I absolutely have to see them! Maybe you want to fly to San Francisco with me next month and see the hippies? I would definitely be very happy!

See you soon,

Emily
