My Trip!!!

Hey guys, Blogger 22 here! This month I went to Italy and Switzerland for my Halloween Vacation. The trip was beautiful! We landed in Milan, Italy and saw the Duomo! It was colossal! The stone was engraved with the most intricate detail. The inside was bigger than huge! On coming out of the Duomo I ate gelato, which put simply is a form of ice cream. But it's better than ice cream. It's more creamy and its not as sweet, but it is delectable and it melts in your mouth. Italy has a variety of sweets apart from gelato as well. They include tiramasu, cannolis, biscotti, etc.                        


From Milan we took a 2 and a half hour train to Interlaken, Switzerland. There were snow capped mountains and the valley were green and beautiful! The scenery looked as if it was a canvas that an artist had painted on. While we were in Interlaken, we took a cable car to the snow capped mountains and ate at a restaurant. The restaurant rotated 360 degrees to allow a complete view of the mountains. Atop the mountain was also a 007 museum for James Bond! For 30 minutes, we got to experience what it was like to be a British secret service agent!


 After Interlaken, it was                                    time to go to Lucern. We took another train and once we got there, it was SHOPPING TIME! We bought lots of chocolate! We bought cheese too! Next stop… Venice, Italy! Oh, it was so beautiful! There was water where there should have been road. We got around by water taxi and walking. We went on a gondola ride, which by the way I was in total awe of the narrow passages and how well the men steered the gondola. We even went to an opera! Most people think that you can't understand anything in an opera and its basically just a lady singing high and weird notes. But it's so much more than that! Yes, you can only understand the words if you speak Italian, but the way they sing is worthy of a standing ovation! Their gestures help you understand the story, you might not even need to know the lyrics.
We went to see glass making. Do you want to know why european glass costs so much? It' s because they do it over and over again. If you get one imperfection, the whole thing is garbage. Unfortunately, our trip came to an end after we went back to Milan. But the experience was so breathtaking that it compels us to go again.

Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars

Image
Hi there! Today I was watching a movie on Netflix called "Harriet the Spy: Blog Wars!" It is a Disney movie starring Jennifer Stone. A girl named Harriet Welsch is determined to win the title of class blogger. While on her "mission" Harriet realizes that the best thing to blog about was right in front of her! Harriet's entire school is obsessed with this new pop star named Skander Hills, the star of   the movie her father was producing called    Spy Teen .  But as she became more popular at school because of her blog, her friends had started to abandoned her. Before she knew it, Harriet had blogged about being "best friends" with Skander, and to prove it she went to extremes! She snuck onto the set, into his hotel room, and even followed him home! The final straw was when she posted on her blog that Skander hates his fans. Her father was about to lose the movie deal, that's when Harriet stepped in. Somehow she convinced Skander to do the movie.  ...

Penguins of Madagascar

Image
Hey guys! I recently just saw a movie called Penguins of Madagascar. The Penguins of Madagascar movie was about four penguins who are on a mission to defeat the evil octopus, Dave. The funny thing is, that they don't even remember Dave! The octopus doesn't  like the penguins because when he was in the New York Zoo everyone was interested in him, until the penguins came. The cuteness of the penguins distracted everyone from the cool octopus. The poor thing was shipped from here to there, always losing to the penguins. Finally, he had had enough! Dave was through with always getting ignored. He hatched a plan to change all penguins, not just the four, from cute and cuddly to mean and ugly! There are four penguins: Skipper- the leader, Kowalski- the smart one, Rico- the crazy one, and Private- the cute one. No one thought of private as a real member. They only kept him in the team because he was cute! But, when Dave turned all the penguins into mean and ugly monsters, Priv...

A Little Princess

Image
Hi everyone! I picked up a movie yesterday called A Little Princess.  I  had read the book, but I hadn't seen the movie. I thought, "It should be interesting to compare the movie to the book." With that in mind, I bought it.  The movie was a touching story about a little girl named Sara Crewe. Sara's father, Mr. Crewe, had to go into war. He put Sara under the responsibility of Miss Minchin's Seminary for Girls. When they arrived, Miss Minchin was there to greet them. She seemed very kind. The cold truth was that she was more interested in Sara's wealth rather than Sara herself. Miss Minchin lead the way to  little Sara's  room. While there, Mr. Crewe had to bid farewell to his daughter, for his boat would leave in a few minutes. He gifted his little princess a doll from France which he named Emily. "Whenever you miss me dearly," he said to Sara, "tell Emily. She will send me a message no matter where I am. When you hug her, you'll rea...
