First week in AUS!

Hello! Sorry I haven’t done a post in a while. The first place in Australia I went to was Sydney, and there I went to the Taronga Zoo and the Opera house. At the zoo I found out that there are spiders that eat birds, and they are 30 cm long! Crazy! The Sydney opera house is 67m tall and can hold 5,738 people. You cannot go inside the opera house for free, you would need to have a show ticket, or be with a guided tour. After Sydney I went to a holiday park for 2 nights, and it was amazing! There were 2 movies on a big screen every night, and there were pools, waterslides, a playground, and an adventure camp! I signed up for 2 of the camps and it teaches you what do do if you are stuck in the wild, what plants are safe to eat, and if there wasn’t a fire ban, how to start a fire. My dad then drove me and my family 4 hours (with 2 hour long stops) to Brisbane, where I am now. I went to the art museum earlier today and it was pretty exiting! I had a lot of fun playing around with the different machines in the science exhibit and experimenting. I played around with some circuits and learned the difference between a parallel circuit and a series circuit. The difference is that in a series circuit, there is one path for electrons to flow, and in a parallel circuit there are two identical paths for electrons to flow. I am going on a cruise in 2 days and am super exited! I won’t be posting anything on the cruse because there is no wifi, but will do a post when I am able to again. Please let me know if I can improve my blog in any way!

Here are some photos:

    Wow! That sounds so cool! How many bird eating spiders are in the world and where do they live the most?

      I do not know how many there are, but they live mainly in marshy/swampy areas and they are nocturnal. Also dispite the name, they rarely eat birds! It is also edible, and in South America they will take off the hairs, and roast it in banana leaves!

    Wow! The opera house looks HUGE. I bet it would look just as amazing inside as it does outside. I’m jealous your cruise

Leaving Singapore and going to Vietnam!

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 ...
