What I think of Sudan (Creative Writing)

Mom you won't believe what i have seen in Sudan. I have seen some of Sudan's physical features. I have seen islands, lakes, and mountains. I went to an island called Badien. I know now that it is one of the biggest islands in the Nile and the second biggest island in Sudan. I love islands and they are amazing. Also this island is inside a country. I mean do you see any islands in the UK, Canada, Mexico, and South America. This is really cool. Next I am going to talk about the mountains I saw. Man there is a lot. Did you know that there are seven main mountains in Sudan? That is a lot of mountains to climb. But the one that impressed me the most was Mount Kinyeti. It is the largest mountain in Sudan. Its peak is 10,456 feet! It was huge. I don't see how I could breath up there.

After all the physical features comes the Climate. Sudan is a very hot Country. The climate in the north of Sudan is around 90 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and that is just the winter! In the summer the north of Sudan can get as hot as 108 degrees Fahrenheit. The hottest months are in May and June. This is the time where I would not go to Sudan. I think the winter was good. It was still good weather for swimming even if it was in the winter. In the Central and Southern regions of Sudan its temperature was around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Then I thought, what would happen if it would rain? I found out that in the North of Sudan it rains 47 inches compared to the South where it rains 4 inches only. One thing that I did not like on both sides was that in the South there were sandstorms and in the North floods. After getting over the climate issues the Sudanese’s food boosts its self back up.

You should have seen the food! They had Shorba, Maschi which is tomatoes stuffed with chopped beef, Shata which is hot rice, Koftah which is meat balls, Creme Carmela and Cinnamon Tea. What I really liked was the Maschi. It sounded so good. Just think about some nice hot beef with tomatoes stuffed together in one big nice bundle. Man it make me hungry talking about it again. Also the Shata and the Kofta are a must to eat. Two dish that have to be mixed. The Shata is nice and hot and when you cut the Kofta open and it mixes with the rice it taste some good you won’t want to stop eating. Finally there is some mildly disturbing news to some.

After you have read this entire post about Sudan and you are convinced that you are going to Sudan to see me I have to tell you that there is something gruesome in Sudan that might be a stopper to your visit. The big news it that there is a war going on in Sudan and it is an inside war. There is a place called Duhar and under this post on my blog you will see a picture of where this war is happening. If you are okay with a fact that a war is happening in Sudan I you should come to Sudan. It would be a good place to stay.
