Top 3 Parts of Travel

Best:

1. I am so inspired but the traveling that I want to do it so much more for the rest of my life! Seeing this whole other culture, slang included, makes me just want to live here. Seeing new thinks that we really don't have back home just pushes me to NEED traveling and try and make it a part of my life forever!
2. Bonding withthe people on this trip reallywas one of the good things that came out of travelling with all the school kids. I really only knew about five people and the rest were pretty much total strangers. I am very pleased to have met and already be making plans to hangout for the rest of this summer. All these dinner snad rainy walks really have brought us together just through different situations all around.

3. Learning independence, like taking responsibility for your actions while on your own. You have to fend for yourself and make your own decisions without having mommy and daddy there to protect you or tell you what to do.

Worst:

1. Feeling bad. Overall feelins sick and not knowing what to do about it. Usually I would go to my mom when I am not feeling good and she just tells me what to take or what not to take but while on this trip you have to listen to your body and yuse past knowledge to cure yourself. You also really don't want to guess wrong becuase it could end up in you not participating and having a bad time the next day.

2. Not packing the right stuff or not packing enough. You really have no idea what situations you are going to run into so without any prior knowledge and with limited space you just have to pack whatever you can think of and hope it works out!

Today we got to go to the actually front steps of the Opera House, even with a little rain it was beautiful. After that we got a little free time before a boat ride so we walked around shopping and eating. Later we got to see a great tour of the harbor from atop a boat which was awesome! Riding through the bay was beautiful and a little cold, but it didn't stop anyone from staying on the top level of the boat! Lastly was the wildlife center that was full of the cutest and/or grossest animals. It started off with spiders and disgusting insects but then led up to the pretty butterflies and fuzzy koala bears.
