In Australia!

 Hello! Today I am going to Australia! My time in New Zealand has been amazing and I would definitely recommend it. The people there were lovely and overall it was just such an amazing experience. The places in NZ I would recommend that people go there the  most are Aukland, Wellington (although it is very windy), and Christchurch. My favourite part of being in NZ was probably the Antarctic centre because I got to learn so much, and I got to feel what it was like to drive around in the Antarctic with a vehicle called a Hagglund! The driver would go around a course and tell people about the Hagglund. There were different stations for different things and my favourite was the one where they drove over a 1m gap! Apparently the Hagglund can drive over 1.8m gaps and rotate 45 degrees! Amazing!  

Here are some photos of my experience in New Zealand:

Leaving Singapore and going to Vietnam!

Image
First thoughts of Singapore. Singapore has been fun, but also pretty disappointing. The New Years Eve fireworks had no countdown and didn’t feel special because of that. I went to the ice cream museum but there was not a lot written about ice cream and for the cost, (which was $50 per person) was very disappointing. They give you unlimited ice cream but only a few flavours, and didn’t know if there were nuts in anything. The hostel that I stayed in was pretty nice, and was very close to china town! There were also lots of places to eat while walking around. The only thing that is bad about walking around in china town is the durian smell. Apparently durian is delicious, but one of the worst smelling fruit in the world. While I was in Singapore I also went to the gardens by the bay, and it had an Avatar experience! There was a screen where you could turn yourself into an Avatar person and it was so cool (but also hilarious)! Another place that was pretty cool is the science museum! Ther...

Leaving Vietnam

    Hello! I am leaving vietnam and going to Cambodia today. Vietnam has been way outside of my comfort zone, and I have not particularly enjoyed that. The worst thing about vietnam is how you have to walk on the street because there are motorcycles parked and food stands on the sidewalks. To make it even worse, there are motorcycles coming from every way and you have to dodge them while walking. I think the best thing about Vietnam though, has been how kind the staff are. All of them love kids and it is always so sad to leave.  I went to 2 cooking classes in Vietnam, and it was totally worth it. For the first one everyone got to cook 1 dish, but some people left at the end. The second one was a private class at a restaurant, and there were 3 things that all of us got to make. The first thing was pho, which is a very common dish in Vietnam. It is made up of noodles, meat (chicken or beef), broth, and veggies (bok choy, cilantro, lime, green onion, carrots). The next ...
