Starting Off

just arrived at my last destination of this trip. Australia. I'm excited because I've always wanted to come over here since I saw that crazy guy in the yellow glasses. Its something that I saw you youtube, but also because I'm so close to coming home. I miss everyone like crazy. Well I started my trip in Sydne and went to the Opera house. Then layed around at the beach for a few hours. We really needed a break from all the walking around. it was really relaxing. We then went to Brisbane to check out some of the night clubs and restaurants. I wasn't disappointed at all. Amazing food and fun at the night clubs. Then the next day we say this huge red rock. I believe it was called The Red Centre. It is the biggest single rock in the world. Kind of reminded me of Red Rocks but red rocks isn't as big and that red. At least that's what i think. We saw a kangaroo, which i have never seen before. I didn't if I should be scared or excited. We left it alone and continued on walking around to see what we can stumble upon. We then later went to the Great Barrier Reef. We went snorkeling and I saw the flatback turtle and a bunch of other see critters. Toward the end of the night Australia looked beautiful all lit up. I am going to miss all this traveling and seeing different places everyday. But i need to go home.

China! My second to last place to visit on my long trip. Starting to miss home a little bit. But anyways we started off our trip around china at a place called called Guilin. This place was so green and just peaceful. Probably the most peaceful place I have been at yet. We went to into the Cuilin Reed Flute Caves. Now this place just took my breath away. This colors all around were amazing. They were changing as we went too. Its was like cool purples and blues. i went through the cave twice because I couldn't get over the fact that there is something like this in real life. Once i get the chance i have to look up the tales they have behind all the names they call that cave. I wasn't able to take any photos in there because it wasn't allowed. Its something that you have to go and see yourself! Next we went to Terra Cotta Warriors, Xi'an. Looking across the thing you saw about 8,000 soldiers. Pretty weird they each were too different too. Someone spent a long time probably just making one. Some must be still buried underneath. There big too! About six feet. These things are forever years old. So crazy how good they were at art so long ago and how they had to patients to carve something that big into rock. We then went to Bejing and saw the forbidden city, and the Banpo museum. Place is really interesting. So much history I love it. The day has to end now and i'm only staying in China for one night so I better go out and enjoy as much I can from here.

Moscow was amazing but I had to move on to my next trip. I landed down into India today. I'm not really familiar from the places to visit. Thankfully there was couple there that we traveled around with. We first went to Jaipur. It has been called the Pink City. Which I can see why, all these buildings are crazy pink and reddish. We walked around there and went to a some little shops and bought some food. We also bought some vases from some ladies that were on the corner. They were so cool looking, had great detail and you can tel that they worked hard to make that one vase. Then we went to Hawa Mahal "Palace of Winds". It had reddish stone that it was made out of. It kind of looks like a big crown. i'm not sure though. It was made by a poet is what the couple told me. That is probably why it got its name. Later on, we of course stopped at the Taj Mahal. Thing was huge! But also very beautiful. After that we left the couple and went to sleep. We will be staying here two more days. Then I am going to China. So hopefully we wont wonder off to far in this place.

Today I arrived in Russia. I went to go to a place i always wanted to visit. That is Moscow. When i use to play the Tony hawk game, i would always love to play with a level with Moscow on it. I know it probably not like the cartoon game but it still seemed a interesting. It was really cold outside. We went and visited this huge church. It was amazing had so many different colors all over. Seems like something out of a Disney movies. Next we saw Novodevichy Convent. It was white and gold. It counted twelve towers on this thing. I didn't know it was a museum until I started see people walking into it. Inside was just.... i can't even find the right word for it. Moscow has all these different places and just so different and I can't even imagine the history that are behind these walls. We proceeded to walk around Moscow. We should stop at a few coffee shops to warm up and just think back the places to visit. We got lost and found one of my favorite dubstep radio stations called Filth FM. We got a shirt from them and then was on our way. I decided to stay a week here because I just knew that I would love this place. I want to see everything around here and some places around Moscow.

We are visiting another Island today which of course I am pretty excited about. We are going to Madagascar. It is the world's fourth largest island. This was part of Africa but then it broke off. So since its kind of isolated from Africa the animals different than the ones that were Africa. I came a little too late to Madagascar because a majority of the Forrest was cut down. This place is still beautiful. There are things growing all around this place is amazing. This were coffee, vanilla, and many other varieties of plants. We saw Lemurs, which I have never seen before. It was a really interesting creature. We also saw the largest Lemur called Indri. I heard its really hard to see those because they are becoming instinct. It was black and white and made such a weird noise. I can't really put my finger on it what it sounded like.Then we saw a Fossa. It weird seeing something like that climb trees. Mainly because it looks like a dog. They has so many weird animals I can't even name them all. We didn't really have any destination on this trip. We just kind of ventured around. Of course we hung out at the many beaches. We also went snorkeling. Which I have never done before. We tried to stay away from the villages because we didn't want to bother anyone. We had a long day of swimming and hiking. Really i think its time to call it a night. I will stay another night here and then go to my next destination in Russia :D I'm pretty excited and I hope it isn't too cold over there.
