Australia Part 6 "Goodbye"

This is my last chapter of Australia that I will be writing about. Finally it’s over haha, since I have six chapters including this one, and I haven’t really been writing about anything else.
Well a couple more days in Australia until we go back to the USA. My family and I were packing up and putting everything away in the suitcases. It took awhile packing everything up, since my family brought a lot of souvenirs and extra clothing. At the end of the day, we had a big feast or goodbye celebration with lots of food and relatives. My cousin from the US and I were hogging all the sashimi that we had. The food was great and I was playing with my other cousin from Australia one last time.
At the last day of our stay in Australia, it was morning and we put all our suitcases in the cars. I took some pictures of the house and one big group picture of everyone. We all got into the car and started driving to the airport. Once we got in there, and were about to leave into the plane. We said one last goodbye to our relatives in Australia. It was very touchy and some of my family started tearing up, because we probably won’t see them for another couple of years.
We all got into the plane and into our seats (I got the window side). Once we lifted off, I looked out the window and I saw mostly the whole Australia continent. It was very beautiful and sunny that day which gave me a great view. I saw the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and the blue sea filled with ships. When we got to a far away distance and couldn’t see Australia anymore, I sat back thinking to myself, yay another fourteen hour back to the US. I looked around bored, and saw my cousin sleeping again like last time in the plane. So I started watching the movies on the TV. The movies weren’t that great like last time, since its replying all the movies over again like “Dragonball Evolution,” “Monster vs Aliens,” and etc. While I was in the plane I was thinking about all the things I did in Australia. It was fun meeting all my relatives there and the great places I visited. Next time their probably going to come over to the US, and I will try my best for them to have the same experience like my stay in Australia.

New Statement of Purpose

In my first blog, it introduced all my other blogs that I have wrote in the past and soon in the future. I still plan on doing the things/goals I previously wrote on my first blog, and even adding more on this blog. So far I have finished a couple of my other goals from my old statement. Now I am still trying to do the same thing and still finish the rest of it. I have already written about food, classes/school, and most of my trip to Australia. I didn't really blog anything else after I started on my Australia trip, which is still going having already about five chapters. It seemed that I just want my blog of the week to be done and get it over with it. Sooner or later that blog will be done (hopefully), and I will move on to typing about my other goals in the future.

After I finished all my old goals, I'm going to have a couple of new ones. Of course writing and grammar is always number one of my important goals that I still have. I will keep on trying to improve on all of it, instead of procrastinating so much and playing video games all day. I realized after rereading some of my old blog post, I don’t really use a lot of my vocabularies words which was one of my old goals. So I will try and remember for my new goal is to use more vocabularies and improve my writing.

In the future I would like to write down about my ideas or things that seem interesting to me. In my previous posts, I wrote mostly about myself and what I do. I mean that’s alrite and all, but I want to write stuff that other people will find it intriguing and learn something that they normally don’t. I don’t want my blog to be just about my life and what I do on all my day when people are reading this. I want this blog to be more and helpful to others.

Australia Part 5 "More?"

Where did I left off, oh yes more trips. One day we left the house very early, got into the car and started driving off to somewhere in Australia. Later we all got off the car and started walking alongside the river heading toward a ferry station. We brought the tickets and went on the ferry. It was pretty cloudy and windy that day to make it better, we were sitting on the chairs outside. We were getting closer to an island that was filled with trees. I asked where we were going and my mom told me we were going to the zoo.
Everyone got off the ferry and had a choice of either going to a bus or walking to the zoo. The zoo wasn't that far, but we still took the bus and rode up the slope hill. Once we arrived at the zoo, we first took a break and had sandwiches for lunch. After that my family and I walked all around the zoo seeing extraordinary animals that we couldn't get to see back in the US. We saw koala bears, giraffes, apes, komodo dragon, and etc. It was very fun and we even got to see some penguins/seals in the aquarium. In the middle of the day, it started to rain hard and we had to leave. we took many pictures and got back to the ferry returning back to the house.
Another day, we went to see the Three Sisters which are famous rock formations in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. Don't ask me why its famous its just is, and we took many pictures while we saw the three Sisters. That day too, was very windy and cold. I was freezing to death, but while i was there it had a great view of the mountains lining up together.
We went and saw the Kiama Blowhorn in New South Wales, which blows water to a height about 60 meters long. I thought it was very cool and how to works to blow water up that high. Good thing it wasn't raining on that day, instead it was all sunny which was good. I took a video when it blew up into the air to show my brother and sister back in the US. All the trips that I went to were all very fun and exciting, because its my first time experiencing all of this in Australia.
