holiday memory

Back a few years me and my family including me, my brother, my sister and my parents went to Australia to visit my uncle and his children. when we arrived at the airport sure enough my uncle was there to pick us up and, just looking outside the window in the car seeing how hot and sunny it was, filled with palm trees and just amazing scenery. then we arrived at my uncles house an amazing white house in a gated community equipped with a tennis court, indoor pool, guest house and trampoline installed in the ground. while we were there i saw some of the amazing beaches, some of the wind surfers and just really cool beach front activity. after staying there for a couple of weeks we ventured out to an island off the cost of Australia where the Tasmanian devil lives in the island of Tasmania, there we went around the island looking at the fields and visited a zoo along with doing zip lining. At the zoo, i saw a variety of animals like the Tasmanian devil which looks like if a baby black bear with sharper teeth along with that we saw kangaroos and wallabies which really looked the same but cool nonetheless. on our way back we drove on a beach front road wandering around the coast of Australia before we arrived back in my uncles house in Melbourne in when we enjoyed Christmas there, exchanged presents spent a few more days vising an checking out the local malls and shops before returning home to Calgary. On a different trip we went down to mexico's biggest island, Cozumel, where we stayed a beautiful hotel, played volley ball, ping pong and swimming by the pool side bar, enjoying drinks. about halfway through the trip me, my brother and my dad drove around the island to see what it was like, in town it was practically shops selling fake items and selling cheap items which actually seemed less then that, one time when we were driving we stopped by a beach front restaurant but sadly there was people eating there from a cruise ship, meaning we had to pay more since they upped the menu, so for the majority of our stay by dad complained about how he wanted the "regular menu" over the "cruise menu" which was more expensive but we just ended up leaving since there was no point in staying and after we returned to the hotel we stayed their a few more days enjoying the sun and the beach before we left for Calgary.    

Numbers from the Book of Awesome

Number 425, "When you're merging into traffic and there's no traffic to merge into".

This is a great feeling when merging or changing lanes where there is no traffic, its a good feeling and kinda makes your day, to be able to calmly change lanes without speeding up or slowing down to much its much easier.


 Number 464, "When characters in movies visit a place you know".

This is kinda cool seeing a movie character or car chase set in your home city or a place you know, this sometimes brings back memories and gets you to think about where their are or standing by to make you remember.

Number 473, "When that social event you didn't want to go to gets cancelled".

This is always a good feeling so that you can do your own thing without having to go to that event.

Funny moments

I went hiking with my dad last weekend to a mountain plateau in where we hiked about 10km uphill and 10km return, When we were nearing the top we saw 3 huge grizzly bears probably a mother and her cubs. we were about 120 meters upwind from them and it was quite scary yet quite interesting by this is one of my first times seeing a bear up close like that. My dad had binoculars so we both got to see the bears and got to see what they looked like. I was watch Laugh for Gags a funny prank they did was they had an elephant with poke dots, in the beginning the victim would be pulled over by a cop who was part of the prank and while the cop facing the person the elephant would cross the road making it seem that the victim was high or had been drinking and asking the "cop" to turn around and confirm it but they wouldn't turn around and it was pretty funny. I was watching some Tosh.0,a funny shows which takes funny clips, breaks them down and practically the guy says a lot of funny things and wanders through many different topics like funny fails and internet topics. Key and Peele, those two guys are pretty funny, like it their videos, substitute teacher 1 and 2, alien invaders and many other funny videos along with their show on comedy central. Their is show called whos line is it, it an interesting show that may still be on that the host gives lines and they have to say something funny that goes along with it and is pretty entertaining to watch and see what the people on the show will come up with or what skits they will do on order to obtain "points" for them in the show. Conan, a talk show host who is like Key and Peele but he interview's celebrities and among other things also does skits like clueless gamer in where he knows nothing about video games and judges them.

Camping

I was in Scouts, a few years ago when i went to a camp in a place called camp Gardner, when we got there(we were staying there for a few days) it was snowing. we put up the tents and froze as we slept only to wake up to and extra foot in the morning, through the day we did events but mostly heard people talked and got permits to do stuff like use an axe, etc, That part was okay. For the most part it was annoying being surrounded by snow constantly, being so cold and all and crowing around a fire. On another camping trip i was brought along with my dad to his annual fishing retreat, in where i was surround by people who were much older than me talking about some somewhat odd stories, in the day we would go fishing to a local creek in the area and see if we could catch any,  my dad got a lot of fish i didn't really get any.One time my mom took me on a tour of the UK and we drove up and saw Ireland, Scotland and went to lochness and went to the museum there along with staying at a hotel along the lake. The museum was pretty cool and seeing the history behind the photos and legends following the lake. On many of my trips to  England i visited my family and saw the city of London, it was pretty cool seeing the city and traveling around because a lot of the buildings in UK are quite old like the city of bath has a lot of old building and is quite interesting to visit them like the roman bath and other cool buildings. Last Summer(2014) i went to Las Vegas with my mom and my friend and his mom and we wandered around Las Vegas, we saw many shows like the shows, Jersey Boys, Blue Man Group, Micheal Jackson One, The Jersey Boys was about an upcoming band and their experiences towards the path of stardom. The Blue Man Group is a comedian group dressed up in blue makeup who do not talk and preforms skits. The Micheal Jackson One is a recap of Micheal Jackson's songs with a few skits and dancing. We also wandered around Las Vegas and saw some of the local themed stores, along with going to the mob museum which is all about the mob's involvement in Las Vegas and how they invested some of their money into the creation of casinos and other buildings and games.
