Myer's Evidence of Learning

when we arrived I was so excited I really wanted to go on the luge but everyone wanted to go on the luge so I tried to be the first to the shuttle that takes you to the top of the hill. it was so fun going down on the first run after. I went to this movie spaceship thing that moves around. the movie wasn't that good but after this other movie place opened up and you would sit in a roller coaster thing that would move around, I watched a horror movie I screamed a lot. my highlight was everything my favorite was the luge. it so much fun racing I also loved the zip line. My challenge was trying to stay on track on the luge.

Day one:  first got my carry on bag ready and went to school waited for everyone then said goodbye and went to the airport waited next got our bags checked at that moment we waited until we could get on the plane once we got on the plane I played games on my iPad when we landed we got our bags and got a supershuttle to YHA that's where we were staying after we went shopping for lunches before long we went back to the YHA settled into our dorms then some people got Dominos for dinner and some people got Freg burger, I got Ferg burger it was a good burger, 6/10 burger I have had way better burgers.

In the morning I had breakfast, I had muesli then I went for a swim the pool tasted weird so I got out and read a book. I and my family decided to go snorkelling for the day. We scootered around to look for a good snorkelling bay, we didn't have to go that far about 6 minutes. once we got there I got my gear on straight away and got in the water my dad came with me. It was so amazing there was fish all over the sea floor and there were lots of coral but on the way out there was also lots of dead coral ;(. some of the coral was like a forest and there this huge piece of coral it was like a huge plate, I dived down and look underneath it was pretty cool there was fish hiding underneath, I saw a really awesome rainbow fish it looked like the rainbow in oil. after snorkelling, I hoped out and had some hot chips then we went home went for a swim watched a movie and went to sleep. this is a photo of us in Tirta Gangga now and five years ago. at the same restaurant.  th...

It's been so amazing watching the geckos in Bali, it's so awesome how it works. I always thought that the geckos had sticky feet until I found this. It's midnight and all is still except for a soft skittering of a gecko hunting a spider. geckos seem to defy gravity, scaling vertical surfaces and walking upside down with out any claws adhesive glues or super-powered spider webs. Instead, they take advantage of a simple principle: Positive and negative charges that attract. That attraction binds together compounds, like table salt, which is made of positively charges sodium ions stuck to negatively charged chloride ions but a geckos feet aren't charged and neither are the surfaces they're walking on so what makes them stick.... I found this really cool video on how it works  gecko vid

After Ubud, we went to Sanur and stayed in a villa. It was really awesome there. The pool was really nice, the wifi was great and the TV was English instead of Balinese, the beds were really nice to sleep on. Once I and my dad were driving along and saw a big kite it was really long. I went to the mall and there was so much stuff and had a big supermarket most of the stuff there was 10x cheaper than in new Zealand the food in the supermarket looked really different. we went to the beach to go for a walk there was lots of rubbish there. after Sanur, we drove to Amed the drive was 3 hours we stop on the way and we fed some monkeys the monkeys were shyer and less aggressive I fed the boss after that I feel asleep the rest of the way when we arrived in Amed we went for a swim and went to sleep.

Week one in Bali was so much fun. We stayed at Sankara Resort in Ubud. I swam in the pool every day, the staff there are so nice they would always ask how you were and how was your day. Ubud is so cool so many shops and cafes. My favourite cafe was Clear Cafe, the food there was so yum. We went to the Monkey Forest in Ubud it was really scary, the monkeys looked like they wanted to bite us. Some shops had amazing carvings. My three favourite things in Ubud was the pool, the Balinese people and Sankara Resort.
