The cultures of Burundi, in Africa, and the United States have many differences and a few similarities. For example, the populations are rather different in size. The United States, with its larger size, has a population of about 320 million, while Burundi has an estimated 6 million people habitating it. A commonality that both countries share is their religious views. The majority of Americans are Christians and about 75 percent of Burandi's people follow Christianity.

In the United States, there are many modes of transportation. We can easily hop on a plane, boat, train, or drive in our cars to get to any destination that we need to. In Burundi, it is quite the opposite. They have a definite lack of transportation options. There are hardly any paved roads, which leads to few people owning their own vehicles. They have many airports, but no railroads to aide in transportation.

In Burundi, their national sport is soccer, or futbol. Here we tend to enjoy the Americanized version of football, baseball, or basketball. Even though a few Burundi people have taken up basketball, the rest tend to be quite active in track and field. Some have even competed successfully in the Olympics in the sport. Perhaps their high level of activity and lack of resources is why the majority of the foods they eat are carbohydrates. The country of Burundi grows mainly sweet potatoes, bananas, beans, and corn. Here in America, it is commonplace for people to go on carb free diets.
