Planes

Planes are rumbly flying things. There are different types of planes, Same as people. About a year and three quarters ago I went on vacation to Ireland, as you know. And we went on two flights there, and two flights back. I had so much fun on my vacation. Flights can be so long sometimes. That’s why they have TVs in them. But some planes DON'T have TVs so you might have to look out the windows. Luckily I got the ones with the TV’s. The plane company I went on was Icelandair.

When the plane takes off do you ever notice that it gets up above the clouds in about five seconds? The reason planes go about 300 miles per hour (AKA 300 miles you go per hour) a normal plane's maximum speed is surprisingly 600  miles per hour! THAT'S AMAZING, RIGHT! I have heard the shortest flight in the world is 59 seconds, about a minute. Are you shocked? It still costs a fortune, about $700 per person. Do you think it’s a waste of money? I do.

Do you notice that planes have oval windows like cleaning detergent holders. It's because a long time ago, planes had rectangular windows,but what do you think happened? Three to five planes crashed. So they changed the rule so I guess that is that.

Would you agree that planes have evolved. But what about three or four engined planes?  The reason they have more engines is because the planes are bigger. And if you have a two floored plane with two engines I think that's not going to lift any time soon.  Jets can go about 1000 miles per hour so they do have good engines. By the way, they do hold up to two people.

One more part:when you go to the washroom do you ever notice a smoking bin. That's because people sneak to the washroom to smoke off their lungs, and when they’re done they put it in there. I don't know why but that is that.

Did you ever go on a plane? Did you hate the ride? Did you enjoy it? Will you ever go on a plane again?

Dumplings

My favourite food is dumplings.  These are a thin dough that can contain any meats or vegetables.  Dumplings can be vegetarian (no meat) or non vegetarian (can contain meat).

I like them because it tastes yummy.  I like chicken dumplings the most. The things that you put inside the dumplings are called “kima” in my culture.  My mom makes kima herself and wraps the dumplings with a wrapper. Then she puts them in the container and steams them.  We can fry dumplings too. My favourite is when she steams them. I dip them in a sauce which my dad from scratch. It is a spicy sauce. 

Unfortunately, we don’t get to eat them everyday because my mother does not have the time to make. I am very pleased when she makes them though. 

Have you ever had any experience with dumplings, like perogies? What did you think of them? What is your favourite food and why do you like it? What makes it taste so good?

Video Games

William Higinbotham created the first video game in 1958.  It was a tennis game, kind of like Pong. Now obviously the games now aren’t the same as the games in the 1950s. The games nowadays are way more advanced.

For example, I went to the Rec Room today with my dad and I played a bunch of games.  The Rec Room is an arcade where they have many old-school video games. One of the games I played was giant Pac Man.  This is a game where a giant yellow mouth eats power pellets to get rid of ghosts who are chasing it. The ghosts keep re-spawning or coming back to life.  It was awesome because of the huge screen. It had great graphics. I also liked it because of the cool music. I would highly recommend this game.

Another game I highly recommend is Typhoon.  This is a virtual roller coaster game. It scared me because I felt like I was on an actual roller coaster.  My dad and I laughed a lot at this game. It was amazing.

I’m glad that video games are way cooler and advanced now than in the past.  I recommend making a trip to the Rec Room for a great experience.

What do you think about video games?  What games do you play? Describe one of them.  If you had the chance, would you go visit the Rec Room
