Hong Kong and Australia are the two countries that I chose to compare. When you look at the Hong Kong Pyramid you can see that the population increases around the age of 35, 40.
In the Australia the population increases at age 30, 35. Some differences in these two pyramid graphs is that in the Australia pyramid the birth rate increase was larger for a wider age group then in Hong Kong pyramid.

One place that I visited that was interesting to me was Florida. I went to Orlando for the National Youth Gathering with my church youth group. While we were there we got to see a lot of different things. We went to two beachs one on the Alantic side and the other was on the Gulf of Mexico side of Florida. which meant that I got to see the ocean! And see two different bodies of water. Florida was different for me because when were driving around it was very humid outside and then it would rain almost every day. There were also a lot of swamps and tropical vegetation around. We actually saw a baby alligator in a little swamp by one of our hotels. I was also in a little bit of shock because I am not use to big city life and the traffic that normally comes with it. But it was cool to be able to see someplace like Florida it really opened my eyes to what is really out there.
