All right pretend this is you: Here you are minding your own business when suddenly, you find your self in the most third-world
country you have ever been in. Now imagine it happened to me. Because it did! Now Veitnam isn't all that
bad but it is pretty third-world. When we first got into Hanoi I broke down in tears because how third-world it was.
Hue(Hwai) was a little better only because there was literally 3 million less people there. Saigon is better because
there aren't many street venders all together. But it might get even better.

One week ago(I can't believe I haven't been writing for so long) we went on a awsome canopy tour called Canopy Safari.
It had nine ziplines, three reples, and great hiking trails. We saw three poison dart frogs, an iguana, a snake-eating
bird who's name is unknown, a Jesus Christ lizard, a black river turtle, a cayman, a white ibes, a cattle egret, cattle, three
toucans, and squirrel monkeys. The ziplines were awsome. They hooked me to a cable with a pulley and I went zipping down
the cable. The repels were fun and scary at the same time. They hooked me up to the rope with a figure-eight desender.
The whole thing was awsome. If you ever find your self in Costa Rica, take a canopy tour with Canopy Safari.

We're in New Zealand!!!! I can't believe I haven't been writing for two weeks!(partly because the internet was slow and
mom and/or dad were on it all the time) Fiji was great but Plantation Island Resort, the place we stayed at most of the time
we were there, was too organized and it was just like a cruise. All the same people doing all the same things. But there
was a lot to do there. We rode a golf cart around the island(me and Dillon got to drive but don't tell anyone, we wern't
supposed to do that) We did a lot more things but I have to go.

Happy New Year everyone! I have survived yet another year and having fun while I'm at it. Right now we're in Christchurch
but I'll get to that later. Latest in our travels was Kaikoura. We are South Island, by the way. Now, where were we?
Ah yes, Kaikoura. We did a lot there. We swam with seals,(which was very cold) we rode horses,(which was very fun)and stayed
at this quaint little hotel. The swimming with seals thing was very cold and I didn't enjoy it much but I saw a few seals.
On the other hand, the horseback riding was very fun. So fun that I'm going back there next time we come here. Now Christchurch.
It is a busy place but fun none the less. Our hotel is by this huge park. And when I say huge, I mean huge. Today I think
we're going to a hands-on science place that sounds fun. No idea when, but I know we're going.

Weeeee! Here I am, upside down, in the middle of executing a very nice back flip on a bungy trampoline.

(que the music)
I come from the land down under! We are in Oz and definitely not in Kansas any more but it does remind me of New York
a bit. There is so much to do here! There's a monorail, an aquarium, a public park, and a Chinese Dragon Parade right out
side our hotel (we are in China Town by the way). We don't know what we're doing today but we might go to the aquarium, we
are going to go to the market, and we might go to a paddle boat place. That sounds pretty good to me.
