Conclusion__ "When in Rome, do as Romans do" We think that, after doing that incredible project, we know that this saying it's true, because you have to be respectful with other cultures and religions, and it's funny and enjoyable to learn new things of the places you visit, but we think is not the real truth, because, although we have to try new things, we cannot forget what we are. For example, if the Kenyan masai (a tribe) eat people, we cannot do it, because it goes against our morality, such as if we're Catholic and we go to mass every Sunday, we mustn't forget it even if we're on holidays. We have learnt a lot with this project and we have enjoyed a lot. Africa is life!
