    The question that I will answer is Vaelntina’s question: Is Hawaii an

    Yes, Hawaii, is a constituent state of the United States of America. Hawaii became the 50th U.S. state on August 21, 1959. Hawaii is a group of volcanic islands in the central Pacific Ocean.

    The islands lie 2,397 miles (3,857 km) from San Francisco, California, to the east and 5,293 miles (8,516 km) from Manila, in the Philippines, to the west. The capital is Honolulu, located on the island of Oahu.

    Fun fact: Hawaii was the last Country to join America (50th) after Alaska (49th) also joined in 1949

  30. James Year 5 ! says:

    I know that The Amazon River might be arguably the most famous in the world but just 4km beneath it runs an underground waterway. Named after the head of the research team who discovered it, Rio Hamza is not a river in the traditional sense.

    Interestingly, it actually flows vertically to depths of around 2km before then changing direction to become near enough horizontal. Even though it is as long as the Amazon River, this subterranean flow holds nowhere near the same volume of water, despite being wider.

    I also know that Although many of us may think of guinea pigs as pets, in the above Andean countries they have been eaten for centuries. Traditionally, guinea pigs have long been used in highland communities. They were bred in large numbers to provide additional heating in houses, used in shamanic rituals and eaten on special occasions.

    Guinea pigs are usually served fried, baked or roasted and look alarmingly similar to their living state – they are even served complete with their gnashers! Although guinea pig isn’t the most appealing dish to look at, many love the taste, claiming the meat has a gamey flavour and the crispy skin is comparable to chicken.
