Dear Grandma

I have decided to got to Malaysia for a month because I would like to learn more about how the Malaysian people sustain their lifestyle.

Even though I have been there before I really only learnt about the national food and some of the cultural traditions. 

I have heard that there are some very interesting people and places in Malaysia, e.g. 

• Kuala Lumpur is the biggest city and also the nations capital city, 
• Since 2009 Najib Raxak has been the Prime Minister,
• Legoland opened in 2012.

I would like you to come with me as I believe that you would really enjoy it...especially as it's much warmer than England at the minute!

Lots of love, 

Harrison

Day 1 Activity 1

Malaysia

I chose Malaysia as my country because of the many cultures, friendly people, mouth-watering cuisine, array of business', differing holiday options, historic and modern traditions and the complex religions that make Malaysia the country it is today. 

The other reason why I chose Malaysia was because I have been there on holiday with my family and I really enjoyed the whole experience, but as a family we really only scraped the surface when learning about the "tourism" facts and diversity of the country.

The haunted house on 13 Grim Street

The haunted house on 13 Grim Street

One spooky night Casper thought it would be a good idea to go and explore the abandoned, run down, old, 90s shack in the middle of the night.

“That house hasn't been open in decades” said his best friend Hades cowardly

“I know that is why you  are coming with!” replied Casper excitedly

“No I am not!” Said Hades

“Yes you are” replied Capser.

Hades realized that he wasn’t going to win this argument

“Alrighty then, I’ll go with you but if I die it is one you!” Said Hades cowardly

“We’ll set out tonight, meet at my place at eleven o’clock tonight”

“Okay see you then” replied then drove away to his house in a cemetery.

While he waited hades read up about legends of 13 grim street. He read about ghost, demons and the foulest monster in the DRACULA. The legend is that whoever enters either becomes DRACULA'S henchmen and are never seen again or you get turned in stone! When the clock struck 11 o’clock at the dot Caper appeared from his car with a big backpack on his back and in it was a bottle of garlic, 5 flashlights, matches, loads of water and lots of cheese and crackers.

“We’re ready to go, we’ll take my car.” Casper said definitely as if he was worried that if he let Hercules drive they would never get there because he would take a de-tour out of town for the whole night!

“Okay” replied hercules as if he was expecting  to drive out of  town for the night. They left the house  on their way to 13 Grim street.

As soon as he saw the house Hercules regretted the decision to come one this adventure. When they pulled up in the garden and looked into the window they could both see a cowering figure hiding in the window what it a ghost or a demon or maybe it was even  DRACULA who knows? They got out of the car and stepped on to the uneven  gravel path, climbed up the creaky steps and knocked on the door

‘KNOCK!’ ‘KNOCK!’ ‘KNOCK!’ No one answered but the door swung open they decided to have a look around first they looked in the kitchen, dining room and lounge there was no one there but qa kettle was boiling, there was hot food on the table and TV was showing the All Blacks vs Australia 2015 Rugby World  Cup final replay. Then there was a noise coming from upstairs and some on started to come down the stairs was it DRACULA, was it a ghost, was it a demon. No it was just an old man yelling at the men and waving his cane in the air.

“GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, NOW!!!!” The old man screamed. The two men looked at each over that started running out of the house the looked at the address of the house. They both realised straight away that the had come to 13 Sly Avenue not 13 Grim Street.

The two men drove home as fast a possible and never went near anyone's house again.

I wonder what makes a rainbow? I wonder why a rainbow is in an arch? I wonder why lighting is attracted to metal? I wonder how tornadoes are formed? I wonder what the difference is between a category 5 and 1 in wind speeds and movement speeds? I wonder what are the wind speeds in a sandstorm? I wonder how avalanches are formed? I wonder why the sun is so bright and we can see it when it is so far away? I wonder what is the highest speed of wind ever recorded?

I wonder why there are only 7 colours and not more? I wonder why lighting is all tree like? I wonder why clouds different colors and sunrise and sunset? I wonder why clouds look like things at times? I wonder which is bigger a tornado or cyclone? I wonder are winds deady? I wonder how strong of winds the weather station can with stand? I wonder how long does it take to build a weather station? I wonder what a weather balloon helps measure? I wonder what material is a weather balloon made out off?

I wonder why lighting is attracted to metal? Lighting is attracted to pointy things but metal is a primary conductor of electricity. Think that lighting is kind of lazy so i goes for the closest tall thing then it builds up enough energy to power 5 homes for 12 hours. In a lighting storm the several clouds in one cluster that is because the electric charge in the clouds attracts the other electric charges in other clouds, this is because electricity is drawn to electricity. When the is a burst in the clouds pressure that is when  lighting strikes. Lighting rod are made from a primary conductor of electricity and is also pointed, they also need to be placed up really high so the lightning doesn't hit a higher point, in auckland there is a lighting rod right at the top of Sky Tower.
