I found an interesting post called Around the World in 80 Days. It asks were you would go if you took a trip around the world. I would comment: That's a great question. I like the movie "Around the World in 80 Days and I want to read the book. I would go to Egypt to see the pyramids, China to see the Great Wall of China, Paris to see the Eiffel tower, and my favorite place to go South Africa to see the 2010 Fifa World Cup.

      If I was in control of the international blog site for a week, I would ask everyone to explain what type of government they have and what it does. You could learn about new governments that you have never heard about before. You could also learn about what things governments in other countries do. It would be very interesting.

       I learned a lot from blogging. I learned how to put widgets on my blog. I also learned how to comment on other people's posts. I even learned how to put images that are not copyrighted on my posts. Blogging is very useful.

The thought of putting a tax on soda so that people will not drink that much of it is going through everyone's minds. If you want to learn about the bad effects of soda then go to soda and your body. I would comment: I think that they should put a tax on soda because then more people would drink water. Water is so much better than soda.  You could have soda as a treat every now and then. 

     I have been given 2 golden tickets to any destination I want to go to. Who will I bring? Although it is very hard to choose just one person to come with me I will bring CP with me.  Where will I go? I am going to go to the Pyramids of Egypt. When will I go? I will go in December or January when it is cold in the USA so that the hot  temperature in Egypt will warm me up. What will be the best part of the trip? The best part of the trip will be when I am so close up to the three large pyramids that are over 4,500 years old. How will I get there? I will fly by Lufthansa. I will fly from Philadelphia International, Pa airport and arrive in Cairo, Cairo International (CAI), Egypt. Why will I go to Egypt? I have always been interested in Egypt, especially the pyramids. It would be such an amazing experience to see the pyramids.

I visited two new blogs. First I visited Jacob13's blog. I liked his blog because he had a lot of pictures that went with his post. He wrote one post about endangered animals. He also wrote a post on his camping trip. I also visited TennisPlayer26's blog. He wrote about a variety of different things. He wrote about education and math. He also wrote about integrity.

My role was to be the designer. I learned about how roller coasters work and what people want on a rollercoaster. Our rollercoaster is called Zero Gravity. It blasts off, from the force of the motor, starting it off with great acceleration. The rollercoaster gains more speed as it goes down the first hill. We made sure the first hill was big so that it would have great speed which follows Newton's Second Law of Motion. I learned that if you have too much weight on the rollercoaster that it will go to fast and go off the track. The rollercoaster needs kinetic energy from the first hill to complete the ride. I learned that the rollercoaster will keep going unless another force acts on it like brakes in Newton's First Law of Motion. I learned that brakes create friction that can slow down the rollercoaster. I learned that it is not easy to make roller coasters.

    I love to play soccer so much that I am on two teams. I played piano for five years until my mom said I could stop. Now I play guitar. Since it is winter and I cannot play soccer, I am playing basketball. I am a rollercoaster maniac and I want to design them when I grow up. I desperately want a dog but my dad is allergic to them. I like playing the Wii but my sister always makes me turn it off. I love soft serve ice cream and I think they make the best ice cream at the Cup.
