Ok so for the past few days we have not had internet. So we got to a hotel on Wednesday and it did not have internet and it was late at night the first day. In the morning we woke up and went to eat at the Fat Dog and it was really good. Then we went to the post office and picked up a box so we could ship some stuff back. When we had that sorted we laid around enjoying the day off. I only got a few hours of sleep that night. In the morning we woke up around 7 and got ready to take Fat Amy back to Jucy. And no, I did not spell that wrong. When we arrived we hurried and put are/our bags into the shuttle and headed to the airport. We got there around 12 and you could not check in until 2:45. So me and my dad fixed the overweight bag problem and went to eat after the others got back. Then we waited to check in. When we did we headed to security and waited the 3 hours until the plane left. Then we left New Zealand and headed to Melbourne. I am writing this now so we are still at the Melbourne airport. At 3:30 in the morning we will leave for Malaysia. So for 2 days the schedule is get here at 12 take off at 6 get to Melbourne at 8 (4 hour flight but there is a 2 hour time change) wait for 6 hours. Take off at 3:30 take a 8 hour flight to Malaysia. Land. Have 4 hours to go through customs and stuff. Take off again for a hour flight to Pe Nang. Check into hotel and rest. That is what tonight and the beginning of tomorrow will be like. Now there will be a 13 hour time difference. It will be harder to communicate with you guys back home. When we got there everybody basically took a nap. When I woke up it was like 9:30 at night and my parents got here with the food. It turns out the car broke down and they had to take a cab back. Anyway I was basically sleep eating. When I woke up the next morning it was 7:18 a.m.. I looked out my window and got excited because I saw a squirrel. In New Zealand there were like no animals and then you get here and they have tigers and snakes. Later we found out that the “squirrel” was really a monkey. Yes we can see monkeys from are/our room. The day went on and we just kind of hung out enjoying not having to be on time at a certain place. Then I went and watched a movie because there was nothing else to do. During the movie I started playing Wipeout on my Ipad. Then my sister burst into the room demanding to play. In the next few minutes I ended up with bruises and it felt like a broken nose. Then we got some food for dinner ate and went to bed. I was waken up this morning by my dad at 7:30 and he said you could hang meat in my room because it was so cold. I got up did some school which took forever because the internet is slow and read a book for school. Then my mother and brother bribed me into going swimming. I went and swam for a good couple of hours. Then we went to the little store in the parking deck. Then later in the day we went to the night market and ate and went to look around. We found lots of illegal stuff going on in there. Some stuff were pirated movies and knockoffs. For example for about 19 dollars you could get a pair of beats. They were not very good knockoffs either. You could tell the difference in real and fake beats. Then they had Louis Veton purses for about 8 dollars. When we got home we were all sweating and tired. In the morning we were picked up by a nice person who would be the guide for the day. The first stop was the butterfly farm. It was pretty coo. If you can remember from one of my previous blogs my sister is afraid of insects. When we got in there there were thousands of insects flying around or crawling on the floor. When one of the people who worked there picked up a horned stick bug my sister lost it. She started crying and wanted out of there. During this whole time there was a butterfly on her hat and she didn't know. I knew how she felt with the fear and all because of whale watching. I felt bad for her but my brother was laughing and my mom was telling us to ignore her and my dad was trying to calm her down. Then she got better. Then she started again when a butterfly landed on the bill of her hat and was crawling toward her face. My dad got it off and I kind of yelled at my mom and took my sister to the exit. She was still crying when we got out of there. Then in the building there was a museum so we went to that. Then I thought she cried at a butterfly farm. The next stop was this coffe and tea place and we bought plenty of that. Then we went and got money and headed to this fruit farm. I didn't know you could make nutmeg juice. It was pretty good. Then we headed to this temple that I do not know the name of and there was this HUGE sculpture of this lady. I also found out that I am year of the dragon. My statue compared to my siblings and parents made theres look like a toy a 2 year old would play with. Then when we got done looking at that we went to the snake temple. Snakes go in and out on their own. They are pit vipers which are poisonous snakes. They are not defanged but the incense in the building kept them calm like smoke with bees. While we were there we got to hold a boa constrictor. I was kind of freaking out because it wrapped its tale around my arm. After that we went to the store and headed home. In the morning we woke up and tried doing school. At one point people decided to do some renovations upstairs. My mom was really getting annoyed so she took us to the pool. While we were there we met a 9 year old girl and her mom from South Africa who were basically doing the same thing we were. They have been gone 9 months already. Then when we got home my mom pulled back the back of my swimsuit and gasped. My sister laughed and took a picture and showed me. Where my swimsuit was my skin was paper white. Where it wasn't was the colore of a apple. It is a good thing I have my dads skin because when we get sunburnt it turns into a tan. It doesn't hurt that bad. Also when I saw this I said it might hurt a little later and my sister said that was the understatement of the year. Later we ordered some food and started to watch tv because there was nothing else to do. Then my favorite show was about to come on but my brother, sister, and mother wanted to watch this other show where you could see animals eating other animals. My dad wanted to watch the other show with me. Then I made the argument that you could see that show just by looking out the window. They won so I got super made and said Beyonce is coming for them. Then I went in my room and started playing the ukelele. Then I started writing this blog.
