Today I leave Taiwan. My brother and I ate breakfast and then watched a little T.V. We did one more apartment check to see if we left anything. But there was nothing so we left for the airport. When we got to the airport lounge we had a few snacks then went to our flight.
TAIWAN
Today we woke up at 4 in the morning to go to Taiwan. I got my backpack on and we left. Our driver was waiting for us in the lobby and we drove to the airport in 30 minutes. We had to do our blog and school while we waited for the lounge to open. Finally it opened at 6am and we went in and had breakfast and relaxed. They had really good dumplings with shrimp inside and a lot of other yummy Vietnamese food. We finally boarded our flight and flew for two and a half hours. We arrived in Taipei in the middle of the day and met our driver, Joe. We drove through the city and saw a lot. He took us to our apartment and gave us a lot of local tips. I thought our apartment looked a little dark, but when we got inside, it was bright and nice. We walked around our neighborhood and got groceries. Then we relaxed at home.
VIETNAM
CAMBODIA
Cambodia!! We had a nice short flight from Bangkok and we were happy to get to Siem Reap. The immigration line was short. Cole and I were a little sad because Halloween was coming and we were going to miss it in Hermosa. But, we ended up having a great Halloween with candy, a Boo Basket, and carving melons and it was a good first couple days in Cambodia!!
Bangkok, THAILAND
October 19-30
Today I went on a flight to Bangkok. It is a cool city!! The buildings are so tall! Our building was tall too and had so much fun stuff! A pool, a gym, two playgrounds, a basketball court and tennis court! And a garden! Our apartment was on the 12th floor and there was a pigeon on our balcony that had two eggs in her nest! While we were there, one of them hatched! It was so cute, a little yellow fuzzball!
Chiang Mai, THAILAND
October 2-17
Hello! Today I am leaving Europe. We woke up and packed our things then walked to the Rome Termini train station to catch a train to Fiumicino Airport in Rome. We checked into our flight and went through security. We went to the gate and me and Cole went to the candy shop to spend our last Euros because you can’t use Euros in Thailand. In Thailand you use Thai Baht. We got on the airplane and there were screens on the seats in front of us!! We were SO HAPPY because this meant I could watch screens and play games for 10 hours!!!! Then the food came and I had mashed potatoes, carrots, a banana and a little dessert. Then I went to sleep. I woke up in the morning and played more video games. Soon after that, we landed. It was a FUN flight.
Elephant Nature Park, Northern THAILAND

Hello. Today I woke up and was really excited to go to the Elephant Nature Park. Mom and dad chose that place because we didn’t want to ride elephants because it hurts their spine. All of the elephants there were rescued from people who were treating them bad. For example, some people use the elephants for riding and for logging. They do this to make money. Just because elephants are big and strong, it doesn’t mean that people should use them as servants or do their dirty work for them. Logging is very hard on elephants and damages their body.

Hi. Today I am going on a train to ROME!!!!!! I am leaving Lucca. I woke up and my family, me and Anni went to the train station immediately! Me, Anni and Cole sat on a bench well waiting for the train to come. Finally it arrived! I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT I WAS GOING TO ROME!! I am excited to go to the Colloseum, go to the Sistine Chapel, and have fun! Now I will tell you some facts about the Colloseum. The Colloseum was originally called Ampitheater of Flavian. In there the gladiators would fight animals and other pepole. Gladiaters are crimanals. Back in the day when you broke the law, you would have to fight in the Colloseum. If you were that person, you would not know what weapons you would get or what you would be fighting.
Lucca, ITALY
9/5-9/19
Hi. Today I am in Lucca. We have a big wall around our house. Lucca is a walled city. The walls used to be for protection when there were a lot of battles over land and power, but now the are for people to walk or bike on. The walls are very high and make a big circle around the city. It is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo big we can take two hour walks on it. The path is so wide that there is a street on it with trees all along the sides. It is so beautiful!!
