blog Challenges week 7


This weeks challenge is about holidays. In some parts of the world 'holiday' is refereed to vacation, like time of school and work. In that context my favorite holiday is summer vacation. Because I get off school for three months! I'm not the biggest fan of school so when I get of I am happy.

Every summer I go camping with my fore closes friends and some of my other friends depending on how many can come. It is so much fun. I have friends from all over so i don't always get to see them and when i do i go insane.
Summer is also nice because of the summer reading program at the library's, and I have so much more time. I love taking bike rides, swimming and sports, drawing. I like basically anything that's out side stuff. I also have more time to volunteer. I like to volunteer in a bible educational program organized by Jehovah's Witnesses. This is a link to a website that will explain it more.

I think it would be nice to go to Mexico, japan, Italy, Canada. Almost anywhere worm and sunny would be nice. I like to go sit seeing. If i did I'd take so many picture it wouldn't be funny. And I'll also try a bunch different food. i like Mexican Italy and Asian food the best. In my opinion raw is the best way to eat fish. Sushi.

climate change: What, How, Solution

Climate change is a change in the worlds temperature and weather patterns. Some believe climate change is caused by gases from cars, pollution and green house effect.

Green house effects is when green house gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide trap the earths heat thus causing the change in the world temperature which in turn causes more problems.

It effects certain parts of the world like that Arctic because ice is melting which is killing animals like polar bears. Other parts of the world are going throw droughts. Hurricanes and other natural disaster's are more common and kill and destroy a lot.

It effects us personally as well. If you think about it as an illustration. Some people take drugs that they are not supposed to take, by taking drugs they are destroying their body. Us as humans are giving the earth drugs, or pollution and stuff, and thus killing the earth. We all need the earth to survive because its the only place we can live.

There are ways we can help reduce climate change. Schools can educate its students. Families can turn lights and other energy using stuff off when they are not in use and conserve on gas. Communities can help by recycling, (save a tree) not littering or picking up liter.

I got all my information from http://watchtower.org/ and from stuff i learned in science class this year.

storie witht he use of pictures







japan man
















I like japan. i think it is a very pretty place. Sand gardens are awesome and i would imagine they are hard to keep up with all the sand, but they look cool =P . They also have old castles. Cherries blossoms is japans flower so when they blossom there are a lot of them.




Festivals are a big thing too. Whats common during festivals are floats called dashi, shrine's being carried in the parades, they have lots of food, dancing, music and some people dress up.




Another interesting artistic thing in japan is the fashion harajuku. and of course there manga and anime.
