//Today is Virgin Islands-Puerto Rico Friendship Day that is celebrated every year in the United States Virgin Islands!! This day is to commemorate all Puerto Ricans who lives in the USVI. PR and USVI has a long history together so in 1964, Governor Paiewonsky established this public holiday. As you can see, it coincides with, at the time, Columbus Day and it was done so on purpose. I don’t really have much to end it off but I hope this is a small intro to this holiday :’)

New York: I came as soon I heard-

American Samoa: Hello there, Mr. New York! Don’t you have more important businesses to attend to and not barge into my place?

Have you guys spoken to any countries? Which have been your favorites?

Manhattan: So putting aside the fact we know Tim and Alfred, we do speak to other countries. Well, since we’re the largest US city and one of the leading cities in finance and trade we…well mostly me- we talk to a lot of countries. Also we have a really long history of being a city of immigrants so. Anyways I tend to talk to Yao, Matt, & Rosario ( @hws-mexico ) more often than some other countries.

Brooklyn: Hm…so off the top of my head, I enjoy talking to Feliks and Esther the most ( @ask--israel)

The Bronx: I enjoy speaking with Seamus ( @vovas-hetalia-blog ) & well the superior of some other Caribbean islands Manuel (Puerto Rico belongs 2 @bombon-14 / @ask-the-aph-us-territories )

Queens: I think Rodrigo here has been misinformed because I talk to a better Caribbean island, Marcia ( Dominican Republic belongs to @ask-the-dominican-republic) and Yao.

Staten Island: Well I like to speak with Lovino (don’t think the feeling is mutual) and Ivan.

Manhattan: My favorite nation to speak with is Sara (Lenape Nation), well that’s not like her actual name, but she goes by that.

Asian American/Pacific Islander Heritage Month is here, and we are celebrating our sanctuaries’ unique historic and cultural identities. The Siapo (or Tapa) is one of the oldest art forms in Polynesia, and each design motif is a symbol originating from Samoa’s natural environment. The Siapo shown here was created for National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa by the Samoan artist Reggie Meredith, using a traditional Siapo mamanu form. The sanctuary’s visitor center, the Tauese P.F. Sunia Ocean Center, is octagonal in shape to match this Siapo’s eight sections (or motifs).

What's Puerto Rico's relationship with Florida?

Puerto Rico: We’re good friends. We share many interests and hobbies together. Not to mention that she’s one of the first people I always visit whenever I go to the mainland. She has always been there for me and likewise, I’ll always be there for her. 

US Virgin Islands: They also like to reinforce their chaotic energies and ideas to each other so you can imagine that they love to hang out and laugh at the face of death together. 

--

Florida: Hey, do you think I can fit fifteen marshmallows into my mouth?

US Virgin Islands: N-no!

Georgia: You’re a danger to society.

Puerto Rico: And a coward! Do 100!

Hawaii: “I can kiss you on the cheek or hug you-“

Hawaii: “SHUT UP, ALFRED!”

America: “NEVER! YOU HAVE TO DO IT ON THE LIPS!”

Hawaii: “Ok, ok, fine.”

Hawaii: “I am so sorry.”

Hawaiian pizza really is good. People are just mean. But other than that, are there any other foods you all have that mainlanders would consider "Bizarre?"

Guam: Our food isn’t weird. Apigigi’ is absolutely delicious! It has a sweet taste that makes it irresistible! And lemmai has always been apart of Chamorro culture since the beginning. Some of them just don’t know real food.

Northern Mariana Islands: To be fair, Kansas did tried them.

Guam: Did he liked them though?

Northern Mariana Islands: He said he didn’t like the coconut milk.

Guam: This country, I swear...
