"The activity book is filled with crosswords and quizzes of different cultures but what I really liked was the way they chose a special word for each culture, like "saudade" in Portuguese. My favorite new word is "meraki" from Greek, which means when you love doing something so much that you dedicate all your creativity, heart and soul to it :) This was an awesome treat!"
