11:00 AM - Monrovia, Liberia

When: March 10th @ 11:00 AM (5:00 PM in Liberia)

Where: Monrovia, Liberia

Who: Anora David

We first had trouble connecting to our speaker, Anora David, because there were internet issues in her city of Monrovia. Liberia is in Africa, and Monrovia is the capital city, with about 30% of the country’s population. We were able to connect with our speaker briefly, but we got disconnected again just a few minutes into our call. We believe she is still having connectivity issues. A fun fact about Monrovia - it is actually named in honor of U.S. President James Monroe because he favored the American colonization of the country in 1822. We could not reconnect with Anora, so we had to end the World Tour on that note.

10:00 AM - IceCube Array, Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica - IceCube Neutrino Observatory

When: March 10th @ 10:00 AM (March 11th @ 5:00 AM at the South Pole)

Where: IceCube Array, Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, Antarctica - IceCube Neutrino Observatory

Who: IceCube Neutrino Observatory

The second to last stop on our world tour is Antarctica. We were able to talk to 4 different scientists about some of the science that happens down there. They showed us a presentation entailing the details of the IceCube experiment. Their base is in the middle of Antarctica, right at the South Pole. McMurdo is a base located on the coast of Antarctica and is the first stop on the scientists' way to the South Pole. When the scientists make it to their station in the South Pole, there is a library, greenhouse, gym, music room, and anything else that they would need to live at the base for a year inside. In between the months February and October, the scientists are isolated because it is too cold for the planes to fly. They have put 5,484 IceCube detectors into the ice, with some going so far down they almost reach bedrock. In the summer, the snow is mild enough for the scientists to go outside and make repairs to their outside instruments. Some of the station duties include refueling transportations, gathering weather data, and releasing weather forecasts. One of our guests showed us the tool that they use to make sure that they always know where the South Pole is located. While the base will occasionally get earthquakes they don't get any other natural disasters, just exuberant amounts of snow. The snow and ice though comes from the wind carrying it inward from the coast. The scientists told us that the hardest part about living at the base is acclimating to the climate. The weather is very cold, windy, and dry.

Where: MYSTERY CALL - Johannesburg, South Africa

Who: Matt Dalton

Our last mystery call. It is quickly determined that they are in the southern hemisphere. A little trickery came into play as the interviewers asked for the time. From his answer we were able to confirm the time zone he was in. After that it was only a simple matter of asking for the weather. From his answer we were able to tell that they are located in South Africa. After listing off a few cities, Johannesburg was the correct answer.

After figuring out his location, he began to explain his situation. During the entirety of the call, he was in Low Shade. Low shade is where the government attempts to save power and try to use light as much as possible due to their poor electricity generation. He also explains that they are experiencing political strife and some violence.

Then he talks about some of the foods they eat in South Africa. He said most of the people there eat chicken, steak, currys, and pap. One of the places that he said is a good place to visit is The Kruger National Park. He said the park is a great place to go when touring South Africa. Some of the traditional clothing that people wear is bright colored patterned clothes. The city he is in is more modern than other places in South Africa.

In Johannesburg, the weather is pretty warm. Right now, the weather is in the high 80’s. The weather is mostly sunny. In South Africa, they are enjoying summer right now. Some of the animals found in South Africa are bats and owls, but foxes, genets, meerkats, and other animals are found in the suburbs. Gas in Johannesburg is about 22.27 South Africa Rand. The average cost for a house in Johannesburg is about R1.65 million.

Common misconceptions:

• Everyone drinks tea
• It’s always raining

Life after the passing of Queen Elizabeth:

The whole country was shocked. The country went into almost instant mourning. Since then, King Charles has taken over, although he has not had his coronation yet. It will happen on May 8th, 2023.


The Tower Bridge and The London Bridge are two big tourist attractions. The London Tower is a major attraction. It’s an old prison where the crown jewels are kept. The Thames River is a big river they have. Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, and the Big Ben Tower are also big attractions.


There is food from all over the world. They mostly eat sausage, eggs, and baked beans. A big difference between the United States and England is that soccer is called “football.” Rugby and Cricket are also very popular sports. The misconception of not caring for teeth isn’t true. The UK has primary school (elementary school), secondary school (6th-10th), and college (11th+12th) then go to a uni (our college). They call the subway “the tube.”


The holidays are mainly the same, but there is an additional holiday the day after Christmas. It is called “Boxing Day.” There are wild foxes and rats that roam the city. The two main religions are Christianity and Islam. However, London is very diverse in cultures and religions. “Hiya” is commonly used for greetings. In London they don’t say “trash” or “trash can” they say “rubbish” and “rubbish bin.” You can’t drive in London until you are 18 instead of 16.

When: March 10th @ 12:30 AM (March 9th @ 8:30 PM in Hawai'i)

Where: MYSTERY CALL - Kahalulu, Kaneohe, O'ahu, Hawaii, USA

Who: Kimberly Jones

Northern hemisphere, Kahalulu, is where the location is. It is hot and sunny. They usually have dry weather. It has a lot of bugs and is a more outdoorsy place. Hawai'i would be a good place to move to if you like fishing, swimming, canoeing, and doing many other active activities. There is a sovereignty movement that they have going on there. Hawaiian has its own language. There is a lot of connection to culture. Everything is very expensive like housing and shopping. Lichi is a very popular food in Kahalulu. Hawaii also has American food, Asian inspired food, and Polyenesian food. The traffic is horrible and you would be stuck in traffic forever. The Chinamans Hat Mokoli’i is a small basalt island located in Kaneohe Bay near Kualoa Ranch. The graduations are huge. The houses in Hawaii tend to be old. They tend to have modern technology, but the house designs tend to be older. Not everyone is welcome into Kahalulu. Many people don’t see people from other countries as welcome.

A misconception is that it is a paradise to live there. There are hurricanes and bad weather. You have to have a job because you have to pay for how expensive it is. It is very difficult to care for a full family and pay for a job. If you are going to spend money there it would be better to buy from local groceries.

There is a lot of multigenerational housing. Landmarks in Hawaii include Na Pali Coast State Wilderness, Waimea Canyon State Park, and Lihue. Kahalulu is very local and most people know each other. There are a lot of chickens, feral cats, and geckos. During whale season there are a lot of whales. There are also dolphins in the oceans. There are a lot of restaurants. There also are some restaurants from America like Chick-fil-a, Wendys, and Sonic. Sports in Hawaii include surfing and stand-up paddleboarding.The Albizia tree is a tree farmers are trying to get rid of because it has turned into an invasive species.

It was currently 9:09 PM over there in Kahalulu.

Hawai'i is a great place to live, except for a lot of financial problems and weather problems.

11:00 PM - Cambodia

When: March 9th @ 11:00 PM (March 10th @ 12:00PM in Cambodia)

Where: Cambodia

Who: Tan Huynh

Currently in Cambodia, it is 12:00 pm on Friday. If you would like to take a trip to Cambodia, it would take 3 flights, 24 hours, that's a total of 40 hours to get to Cambodia from Dallas.

Within Cambodia, lies many old monk monasteries. Most of them are so old they have 700 year old trees growing in them. A lot of temples can be found throughout the city as well.

A lot of the food eaten in Cambodia is not vegan. It contains fruits, vegetables, peppers, oils, spices, and a lot of sugar. Most of the food that you'll eat will often be eaten with sticky rice and a source of protein.

Tuk tuk, like cars, are a very common source of transportation. Containing three wheels, it'll hold up to about three people driven by one man or woman. It would cost $1.50 depending on the destination. Tuk tuk is a good source of transportation for the people of Cambodia because the cost of cars is more expensive than here in the states.

The difference in money between both Cambodia and the U.S. is very different. 4,000 riel is equivalent to one U.S. dollar. With one dollar you can buy a meal in Cambodia, unlike the states.

The language of Cambodia is khmer. They have two sets of alphabets they have to learn. When writing no spaces are put in between words. The grammar is similar to English, the difficult part is the translation.

School is a large cost that comes out of many families' paychecks. School cost about $2,400, but much of the city is wealthy due to agriculture, clothing and textiles, and the several logging industries that provide most of the money for the people living there.

A tradition for the people of Cambodia is the cleansing of the Buddha. Once a year they’ll wash the Buddha as a sign of respect, to clean off what will be left behind . It's like their own new year. Another festival that is practiced for the period of three days is the water festival. Over the next three days, the people of Cambodia will have water wars.

The country of Cambodia as a whole is a welcoming society that’ll guide you through beautiful areas in the country.

(note that the most practiced religion is Buddhism)

9:00 PM - Cypress, Israel, & Sudan - Archaeologist via Nashville, Tennessee, USA

 When: March 9th @9:00 PM

Where: Cypress, Israel, & Sudan - Archaeologist via Nashville, Tennessee, USA

Who: Scott Huff - Archaeologist

What is an archaeologist? “People who deal with things people left behind.” Writings carved into stone, ancient buildings, pyramids, etc. They dig in the dirt in foreign countries searching for answers to their questions they must present to the government, and they’re only allowed to dig where it seems as though people had lived. They’re never on the site for more than a month. Anything found in a month takes about a year to publish. They have to finish one project prior to starting another.

This specific archaeologist has had about 12 visits to Israel finding buildings, Canaanite temples, and much more. On his first trip to Israel, the search team had found shards of ancient pottery from 3,000 years ago. On a recent trip, his search team found four rooms, two entry ways, and a hallway of a Canaanite temple. People used to even live in “tells”, and when they wanted to build a new building, they would just build on top of it. EVERYONE LIVED IN ISRAEL.

In Sudan, ancient pharaohs were found. Search teams have to dig under pyramids due to the Nile River. Some pyramids have underwater rooms and halls. Bones and ceramics are often found. The bones help archaeologists estimate what people’s diets were back then and what most people ate. Experts would come in to examine the ceramics. The experts would identify where the ceramics originated from and what their purpose was. Pottery found in Sudan was made for holding expensive items: perfume, oils.

People will use the cities after their original purpose. Some ancient cities were covered and are merely hills now. When wanting to build something new, they wouldn’t tear it down, but they would smooth out the surface and build over it. This created multiple layers of buildings underground. Even digging has a different purpose. Archaeologists used to dig until, “they found something shiny.” Now, archaeologists dig for answers. Artifacts are even deemed valuable depending on what questions the artifacts answer. The most valuable discovery being Hittites. It’s an ancient civilization found in present day Turkey, and they developed the earliest indo-european language.

8:15 PM - Little Rock, Arkansas, USA - Meteorologist (THV11)

When: March 9th @ 8:15 PM

Where: Little Rock, Arkansas, USA - Meteorologist/Journalist

Who: Skot Covert - Meteorologist/Journalist (THV11)

Our next stop is Little Rock, Arkansas! We are talking to Skot Covert. He is a meteorologist and has to be prepared in case of severe weather. He says it is very wet and rainy where he is. Skot was always scared of thunderstorms when he was a child. Eventually he learned more about storms and tornadoes. Over this time he came out of his fear of storms. There he gained his interest to be a weatherman.

Arkansas can have many different weather types throughout the day. A meteorologist is the only job where you can be 50% wrong and still not lose your job.

Other than being a meteorologist, he is the only scientist in the building. Also on Fridays, he goes out to help his community by helping get dogs adopted. This really shows how heartfelt he is and what a good person is.

Skot says that the biggest misconception of being a TV meteorologist is that they get paid a lot. This is probably the exact opposite of what actually happens. He also informed us that FedEx and Walmart have their own meteorologist team so they can know what type of weather they will encounter when shipping.

We were all shocked when he told us that he has won an Emmy! When he attended college, he took a class that had nothing to do with weather. He later remembered his childhood dream of being a meteorologist. He started doing stories about many common problems in the world. A couple years ago, he did a story on duck hunting! He said duck hunting is very popular because Arkansas has the best temperature for them to have a great habitat. His boss entered his story to run for an Emmy. He never thought he would win against other people who have been doing it for years. He then comes to realize that he won!

For work, his wake up time is 2:00 AM! Everyone was fascinated by this fact. It's not typical for people to wake up that early. He has to be at work by 3:00 AM and then be on set at 4:00 AM. This is because he has to wear makeup and get camera ready. He must have to go to bed super early just to get up at this time.

Lakes can cause different temperatures. Who knew lakes could give off winds. We live near Lake Lewisville, therefore that's why we get some of the weather that we get. The hardest part for him of his job is telling people the information that is necessary. He also only gets 3 minutes to talk about the weather! Sometimes he has to tell people life threatening news and jam it into 3 minutes. He says it's very scary to do it.

Arkansas can be known for agriculture. They grow the most rice than any other place. A Lot of the chicken and rice from the supermarkets came from fields in Arkansas. Walmart also started in Arkansas in the headquarters. In Arkansas there is a place where you can go dig your own diamonds. If you find a diamond, you get to keep it and take it home.

From what we know of the weather, climate change is a big thing in the world right now. At one time they had what is called “solid science”. This is basically when they were making no new discoveries and were just stumped. From this, overtime they have had science change.

We really appreciated talking to Skot about his job and the culture of Arkansas. Onto our next stop!

7:30 PM - Ukraine - Refugee

 When: March 9th @ 7:30 PM

Where: Ukraine (Refugee via Texas)

Who: Natasha Griboyedova

Natasha Griboyedova is from Ukraine and says that big cities will build in such ways that people can make much of anything. Natasha also painted a rooster, her backstory was that she painted her impressions back to her childhood. She drew those things to help her see how beautiful the world was. She also had a rooster that attacked anyone that came near him/her, and she drew another painting of a crab and a painting representing seven days of the creation. Cool facts about Ukraine are orthodox church is one of the religions there. Ukraine also has a lot of churches and people go to worship there on holidays. Ukraine developed communities of the Church of Christ and she is a member, and these are some of Ukraine's religions. Her hobbies in Ukraine are growing vegetables, grains, and other plants. She was also teaching at the international school and helped teach culture from Ukraine, and she made a movie with pictures about dumplings. She also noticed the difference between the US and Ukraine is that we are not into war and not into violence, and due to that, people in Ukraine work everywhere.
Natasha is also a translator and can speak English, Ukrainian, Russian, and a little bit of German. She says that she was affected and other people by the war by explosives and seeing other people dying just because of Russia. She keeps seeing missiles from Russia destroying other buildings in Ukraine, and a big part of the electricity is cut off. It also cut off a bunch of communication. She said lives are lost, and “human lives cannot be fixed”. A lot of Ukrainian people left the country because they wanted to protect their loved ones from death. Natasha's family are living all together all in the same house due to the war and would not want anyone to get in a situation in which Natasha is in. Her husband and some other family members are still in Ukraine. She went on the train to leave, and there weren't many places left, and due to Poland the Ukrainian people had a place to go. 7 million Ukrainian people left their own country due to Russia. Germany also helped the Ukrainian people to find a place to live. Norway, Sweden, and Finland also helped Ukraine due to this hard time. She also helped try to save Ukrainian people by leaving the country, but they were too scared to live and said “where do we go next”?
Previously she had plane tickets to leave Ukraine, but the airlines did not accept Ukrainian people, but everything went well in the end. Ukrainian people like to hear traditional music and classical music and more. Superstition is also known in Ukraine.

5:30 PM - Okayama, Japan

When: March 9th @ 5:30 PM (March 10th @ 8:30 AM)

Where: Okayama, Japan

Who: Mari Sawa

Mari told us that in Okayama it is 8:30 AM on March 10, 2023. She told us that her favorite part of living in Japan is the cleanliness. Everywhere you go, you take off your shoes inside buildings. Whenever she would come to the US, she would notice how much cleaner it is Japan. In Japan, there are no yearly exams, but instead there is an entrance exam for both high school and college. Many students participate in after school activities. Another aspect of Japan that Mari greatly appreciates is the safety of Japan. She never feels like she is in danger when she is outside.


The culture in Japan is also different from the United States. Cosplaying is a common thing to do and never really ridiculed as it might be here. Another common part of Japanese culture is reading manga and watching anime. Here in the United States, if you watch anime, then it is more of a style that you like, while in Japan, it is just something that everyone does. The currency that they use is the Japanese yen. Their biggest holiday is the New Year. There is a big break during the New Year, which allows everyone to spend time with their family and friends in celebration. Public schools all have uniforms from elementary school through high school. Individualism is a big part of the American school system with things like school awards, whereas in Japan that doesn't happen. Group projects and team awards are more popular. Major parts of American culture originate from Japan. Things like Pokemon and Nintendo Games are from Japan and have become popular in more places than just Japan. The three most popular sports in Japan are baseball, soccer, and volleyball. McDonalds is very popular in Japan, but it is far cleaner and has much better service than the McDonalds in the United States.

The national bird of Japan is the crane. It represents longevity and prosperity. Shintoism is a common religion. It believes that there is a god for everything and there are over 80,000 differnets gods. Japan is far more modern and forward than what most people believe, and Mari highly suggests visiting if you get the chance.

4:50 PM - Monterrey, Mexico

When: 4:50 PM

Where: Monterrey, Mexico

Who: Andrea & Carolina Martinez

Our next stop is Monterrey, Mexico. The people we were able to interview have lived in Monterrey most of their lives, although they did move to the United States for a few years, and they have family from the area. Along with many other people in the area, they follow the Catholic religion. They told us that while learning a new language was difficult, it was a thrilling new experience to go to a new country. When they were able to move back to Monterrey, it was exciting to be back in their home country.

Monterrey is called the city of mountains. They say that the school system is very different, but they are very similar too. They say that it is very indoors, and outdoors in Mexico. The mom says the public education is not as good, which is why she pays for her daughter to go to public school. She says the subject math is very similar in both schools. They say that they rarely have any animals in Mexico. The mom says the houses are built in the mountains which is why it is referred to as the city of mountains! They say the city is pretty big, and the daughter says it is one of the most popular cities in Mexico. She says a lot of people live in her city. The population is about 5.3 million people just for the metroplex. The interviewers and the interviewees happily speak Spanish to each other. The family says that they alternate between speaking English and Spanish in their house.The Mom says that they have phenomenal beaches there. In the town that they live in, the family says that quinceanera parties aren’t as popular. The family talks about special traditions that they have. The mom says that the school is similar when having breaks. She says that all schools in Mexico have a break when we do.The daughter says that there is a humongous difference between the private and public school in Mexico. The Mom says that the public schools are “not so good, compared to the private schools.” The Mom says that they have 2 really good private and public colleges. The Mom says that the city Monterrey is one of the most important cities in Mexico. The mom says that she works in Real Estate. She also comments that people go to Mexico just for the good colleges. The daughters' hobbies are reading and listening to music. One major attraction is inside of a mountain. The mom says they have shows in there. The mountain has lots of stalactites. The daughter says her favorite thing about Mexico is everything. On the other hand, her Mom says that she loves the people, she comments that the people are very kind to you. She comments on the beaches about the smooth soft sand and the wonderful blue oceans. The family says that they liked Dallas (Which is where they lived before.) but not as much as Mexico.

4:15 PM - MYSTERY CALL - Misawa, Japan

When: March 9th @ 4:15 PM (March 10th @ 7:15 AM)

Where: Misawa, Japan

Who: Amy Phillips

We had a very pleasant surprise for us. One of Mrs. Gore’s friends have joined us at the start of this call. As this is a mystery call, we have to pinpoint her location using questions. The interviewer starts off the interrogation by asking if she is in the Northern hemisphere. She gives us a yes, and we’ve confirmed she’s in the Northern Hemisphere. With a lucky guess, we find out that she is in Asia, and in a string of fortunate events we find out she’s located in Japan.

Finally, we have pinpointed it to Japan, but that only helps us slightly. We still need to determine the exact city that she’s in. We quickly throw out guesses on the most popular places. However, none of those are where she is located. Seeing us struggle we are given a few hints. She informs us that she is in the snowiest inhabited place in the world. Along with that, we were told that she is in a very small and rural area. After that it was only a matter of process of elimination. After a while of throwing out questions and getting wrong answers, we finally stumbled across the right location. With an eruption of cheers we found out she was in Misawa, Japan.

Misawa is a military Air Force base located near the coast of Japan. Her job there is to teach people that are in the military. Mostly the children of the people who have come to serve. They are a completely American school located in Northern Japan. Since there is just so much snow they don’t really let it bother them. They play in the snow no matter what. Sometimes the snow piles up as high as an 18 wheeler!

3:30 PM - Sydney, Australia - Sydney Zoo

When: March 9th @ 3:30 PM (March 10th @ 8:30 AM)

Next stop, Australia, Mate! We are going to be looking at the Sydney Zoo. At this zoo they have 4,000 individuals and 100-150 species. They have many endangered species there. The camel is extinct in the wild but there are many out in the world. Lions are really popular and so are meerkats. The zoo is about 40 acres in size. They have 6 venomous animals that are shown at the zoo.

Sydney is not really dangerous. They just have little small animals that should be known to stay away from. The weather has recently been really dry and warm. There has been more rain in the last 2 years than there has ever been before. The largest animal is the Blue Whale. Sugar gliders, when they are born, are about the size of a grain of rice. When they are in the wild they eat tree sap or wildflowers.

Sydney is 17 hours ahead of Texas. In the wild, if you try to pick up a koala you are probably going to get bitten or scratched. The most common animal at the zoo is the fish. Dingos are very good climbers, and they can only breed once a year. They are very close in relation to the dog.

The big tower of Berlin, the “TV Tower,” is the main point in the city. “Dem Deutschen Volke” is on the front of Germany’s government building. The Brandenburg Gate is the main gate, mainly used for going in and out of the city.

There are many cultural differences between Germany and the United States. Amanda had to first learn German, and then she had to learn the cultural differences. Germans eat lots of sausages. They also intake lots of international foods because people from 192 different countries live in Berlin. Citizens also eat lots of Turkish foods. Moving from home was hard, but there are so many things in Germany that make it worth moving. Germany has a reunification day, and it was made to remember the reunion of the country.

There is a lot of diversity in Berlin when it comes to old and modern buildings and the architecture in Berlin. The winter is very cold, and it gets dark around 3-4pm. Groceries and household bills have been affected by the war of Ukraine and Russia. The prices have gone up for more supplies.

Who: World War II Museum - National Museum of the Pacific War

Fredericksburg, Texas is the first official stop of our world tour! Here we are visiting the National Museum of the Pacific War. The Uncle Sam balloon was donated to the war materials, and it is kept in the museum.

The first exhibit, dedicated to Pearl Harbor, contains a video. This video explains the events that took place during Pearl Harbor. The video uses pictures, videos, and voice recordings to tell the story. The museum obtains a Japanese midget sub, AJ-19.

The second exhibit had a room for the Japanese-Americans. The United States viewed the Japanese as a national threat. They were kept in concentration camps, and the only way the Japanese could leave was to join the American Army.

The third exhibit, dedicated to Jimmy Dolittle, had a huge plane in a room. Dolittle raiders lived in Comfort, Texas. Dolittle’s worst day was when he had to leave his plane to fight for his country. His best day was when his parachute worked and he was able to fly to safety.

This museum has many important artifacts and we were able to learn about each and every one of them. We also got to learn about many important people that served in the war, such as the Sullivan brothers. This museum contains so many facts that help shape our country into what it is today.
