My poster! Maria

Hi guys!

I chose to split my poster in half, since I have a Norwegian father and Kenyan mother. I was born and raised in Trondheim, Norway but spent about 2 months in Kenya every year. 
The two cultures are completely opposite but both have wonderful values. I would say Kenya is very family and education -oriented while Norway is very liberal and people pretty much do whatever makes them happy. 
When it comes to the people, Kenyans are very open and inviting. They are extremely well mannered and always smiling. If you go to Norway you get the opposite! People are very kind, but extremely reserved. Norwegians don't talk to strangers unless they have to, but once you get to know them, they are wonderful. 
I chose to print out pictures of each country's currency and the foods I remembered and loved the most (mandazi, kransekake). Pictures of cities (Nairobi, Trondheim) to show what the countries look like. I put two pictures of East African wood carvings, (which are common all over Africa) because they were always in my family members homes in Kenya (also in my mothers house in Norway). I put the quote from the Lion King, to show the language (Swahili), whenever I explain my heritage I always refer to the Lion King so people understand what I'm talking about! : )
