Today we had a live camera talking to people in Indonesia. There was a teacher and a few students. We exchanged questions.  It was a great experience. It was fun and challenging to understand what we were saying, and it was probably the same for them..

1. I think blogging across cultures was a great idea. The experience of talking to different people around the world was amazing, and especially talking about our countries i really thought was good. Its not a bad thing but we are all in different time zones and it gets a bit behind with holidays and school days. Overall it was a great experience for me and i would recommend it to anyone. Also it doesn’t take much work to complete, it is a little but nothing too much.

Some sports we play are football, tennis, cricket, soccer.

The summer sports are now playing which is Cricket.

In my spare time i like to amuse myself someway or another.

My favourite subject at school would be Advance, because you get to go on Camps doing different activities. Which we have for three lessons every week. We have gone on a canoe Camp, where we canoed from place to place over three days, staying in tents everynight. We paddled down a beautiful river (Glenelg River) that runs through Victoria.  We also have gone on bushwalks, those were also three or four day trips. The first bushwalk was through a magnificent forest called Mt Cole, in Victoria. And i think you get the idea of what the Advance Program is. If you want to know more just ask me..

If i was touring Australia I would go to the Gold Coast, in Queensland. There are many reasons and they are, theme parks and water rides. Most of the time it is nice and sunny. Just the amazing views and amazing building structures. Another place i would travel is Ayres rock (Uluru) , which is located in Northern Territory, which is in the middle of Australia. I would visit Ayres is rock because of the beautiful landscape and Australian atmosphere. Another place would be the Great Barrier Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is located on the coast of Queensland

In Australia we dont have any Terrorist Attacks, luckily

There have been a tew threts but nothing has ever happened

In 2002 in Bali, there was a bombing, which killed 88 Australians and there was a total death of 200

Bali is a very popular tourist place for many Australians. At the moment the Government isn’t letting anyone over there because the Bali Bombers have just being executed (10/11/2008).

In the holidays I went motorbike riding, played cricket and helped my father around the house. It was mostly staying up all night and having big sleepins. In the second week I went to Melbourne to see some of my family and some old friends. I got lots of Prezzies and I liked them. Christmas was fun. Also I went water skiing and tubing. And I went motorbike riding, on a farm just out of Melbourne. Also I went shopping with my family in Melbourne. Also I went fishing at the beach and while I was there I went swimming. It was a great holiday because you didn’t have to wake up a 7:00 and worry about school..

This is Tag Galaxy.. a program that allows you to search for a tag eg. bikes, cupcakes, cricket, anything you are intrested in, that turns into a mini universe.

You can do this by going to www.taggalaxy.net following the steps there. Once you are completley satisfied with what you have you press the Print Screen (Prt Scrn) button. Then open paint and paste, hopefully the mini universe comes up, and erase what you dont want. When you are finished click File, Save as, and when you have renamed it just below it SAVE AS TYPE, make sure you change that to JPEG. Then get into your blog and open a new post.
