Experience week trip

by 043077 on May 13, 2013

Last week, I had a fun time in Beijing for 5 days. We did a lot of things like sightseeing, bargaining for $20 Beats, climbing the Great wall and we ate a lot of food. I think during this trip, I was a risk taker because I climbed the hardest parts of the great wall and I made it I also think that I was principled because I didn’t fool around or get in trouble. (actual results may vary) On this trip, I got to meet a new friend called Zhi Wei. He was really nice and did pretty much everything with me. The biggest challenge on this trip was the Great wall because the terrain was so broken it was like stepping on sand. Blocks were missing, and the stairs were very steep. Also, I had a very fun time bargaining at the Pearl market. The prices there were so high we had to bargain for 1/10 of the price they offered. A lot of the shops there said no, but once we started walking away, they started shouting lower numbers The original price of my beats were $300, so when I said $20 she said no. Then I started walking away and the owner said $150, then 75$. The farther I walked away, the lower the price. $25! $20! Then I walked back and I got them for 20 dollars Overall, this trip was very fun and could possibly be the best week ever!

My Bird Creation

January 21, 2013

In science class, we had to make an undiscovered bird species. My strength of my bird is that it can run away from prey quickly. My weakness is that it can not kill its prey as fast, so it has a chance of getting away. I think my time was used sufficiently outside of class [...]
