This is the logo of my school ” lecole des trois chaines ”

Hey mais ami! ( hey amigos )

School! I've got to say it is pretty awesome here.

First of all, Wednesdays school finishes at 12:00am, no uniform, they have a little restaurant where we eat lunch ( so we don't make our lunch ) and we can choose to go home and eat there and then come back at school and personally I like the slide, its huge like 9 meters high so when it's winter it's all frozen and slippery! You can easily slide and it goes super fast!

I like the humour of the people here in France, in my class and in all of the school. They are, let's say happy people. This is a beautiful area especially for a school, we have a mini forest and a little playground, they have a back field but what I really like is that it's in the country so that means that it's quite and calm and not as crowded. There's only 262 people in the school and my school in Australia has around 500 people.

Ok so now I'm going to explain about 2 games that I've never played anywhere but in France so I think that it's the kids who invented these games.

1: La chaîne

This is my favourite game it's like tip but different so; there's 3 people who are chosen they have to try and catch everyone else, everyone else has to try and avoid them and try to touch the other wall, if someone gets cached for 3 seconds he becomes one of them. This game we normally play at 30 people but it's only cause all the year fives play so there's a crowd we can say.

2: gamelle

So there's one person who counts just until 40, the others hide, when they've finished counting they have to stay at this place and look carefully for the others. The others have to try and touch the wall without being seen if the person who counts sees you they will call out 1,2,3 vu and the name of the person they've seen. It's best at 5 or 6 people.

Now lets change the subject

I would really like to talk about my friendships that I have made so I'm going to start by a girl that's called Lena. She is someone kind and funny but (in my opinion) she exaggerates a little, when there's a little problem like if she fell on her leg and starts laughing and gets up very easily and then when she looks at you she starts crying and says “it hurts, it hurts” but then you see her running at tip after she goes to sick bay it gets a little bit on your nerves but it's only a little winch of something that I don't like about her, on the bright side she is hilarious and is really nice and generous.

Alexis, he's the type that plays with the “cool kids” he is funny but I think he is a little bit aggressive with people but he doesn't realise because he does it for making jokes. I've noticed that when he's only with his friends and me he is different and really nice to be with.

The last friend that I would love to introduce is Marie. She is awesome, she's the person the most simple I've met she is the biggest in the family she has 10 years old like me, most of the time I play with her and her little sister Elise, she always sticks with Marie. We usually play alone and do our stuff together and then there are times where we play with Laura, Stella and Mayéliys at gamelle the game just above that I explained.

When I'm all alone at school and I feel sad I think of this photo that Marie and me found on the internet:

The teachers and the principal are all cool and I'm really happy with the class they put me in.

Well I hope you guys try out the two French games I love and explained for you.

Bye, only less than 4 weeks till I come back to my country Australia! Keep in tuned everyone and talk to all of you guys later.

Chow!

Merry Christmas

For Christmas I made a bucket list with all sorts of things that I really want to accomplish before the 25th of December. On my list I included:

• Make a snow man
• Bake a mud cake with all the cute Christmas decorations on it (with my grandma)
• Visit Carcassonne
• Record me singing a Christmas chorale.
• Do an angel in the snow
• Make a sock for “Santa Claus”
• And last but not least when we go to the snow roll down the hill in a ball.

Accomplished

Accomplished

All done I did: the worst shaped but delicious mud cake ever with my grandma, I made an pretty snow man, I visited Carcassonne, I singed really loudly and weirdly a Christmas chorale in my iPhones microphone while pressing the record button, I did I really big and beautiful angel in the snow, I made a big red sock with little pictures all over it for “Santa Claus” and finally I rolled down the mountain of snow in a ball and nearly BROKE MY FACE!

Oh la la la la la

Anyway it was a lot of fun because all of my activities that I did I was with my family my annoying but adorable family.

School: well for school we didn't do much, we decorated the class by doing a lot of art in our spare time. We had a Christmas lunch so with juice, ice-cream and a yummy main plate and that's about it for school. Oh yeah and we went to the movies to whatch “the desolation of smaug” the new movie that is 3 hours long! Well 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Albi: for 5 days I rested at Albi to see my cousin Jairo my aunt Claire and my uncle Onri. I slept at my grandmas apartment. I got to see the marvelous enormous church, I love going inside because it's all quite and calm and we can see the statues in stone that I really old and beautiful. My favourite thing at Albi was the hill next to the new house of my aunty I like to see the sunset from there cause your all alone on the hill where you see all the view of the village beneath you and you can see all the different colours of the sun like the orangey yellowish with a little pinch of red, magniffique!

Well I hope everyone had a great Christmas and that you all had a fun time.

Before I leave….

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Welcome to Germany! I arrived so we had to go to a festival with: Julia my aunty, Petra my grandma, Isralel the boyfriend of Julia, Charles the son of Isralel and of course me. We went to a festival with thousands of rides, games and german foods. My favourite ride was the spider spinner, my favourite game was grab it and my favourite food was the spicy sausage roll, yum. We have a place to go with Charles and Isralel every Saturday and Sunday so I will only tell you my favorite parts.

I woke up his morning and looked at the time it was 10:30 am so i ran into the corridor and peeked out the window it was completely black, then i turned to face the big clock on the wall and it said 5:00am! Anyway as soon as i saw that i ran so fast to my bedroom, i slipped and hit my leg on the table and when i woke up again petra asked me why i was limping so i just said short but long story. Today we started of by doing a mini bushwalk in the forest and a late breakfast.

When we arrived up the hill we saw two paths and decided that we wouldn't go on the paths because they lead onto the road so we went directly into the forest.

It's the beginning of autum so there's leaves everywhere, they even seem to block the streets next to the apartment, but there is a guy who comes with his machine and collects everything, sometimes when I go out to see the horses I see him infront of the stables collecting the leaves so I say hi.

Good night everyone!

Morning today we are going to the zoo with: Petra, Julia, Isralel, Charles and me. It takes 2 hours to get there so we had to be occupied. I played on my iPhone and then we played hide it, it's when you hide the bottle or an object. We also did magic tricks with cards and we played tiggle you in the tunnels because it's black. When we arrived we started of by seeing the bird shows, then we moved on to the bears than the kangaroos, monkeys, tirgers, foxes, snakes and elephants! We ate a crepe with Nutella before going into the enormous playground. There where houses, tunnels, hammacks, games of wood and mazes.

Tiger

Elephants

Urangatang (cute)

Fox (beautiful red fox)

Kangaroo

Now we've finished our little tour in the zoo it's time to go home and start to pack for after tomorrow cause I have a tiny luggage case but lots of luggage, anyway bye Charles!

Before I go to bed i will to watch the movie Police Los Vegas that starts at 7:00 and finishes somewhere around 9:00.

Movie was scary and funny.

Night!

Morning, I'll explain the plan for today: we're going to go to a friend to see her donkeys and her horses, she has also 2 dogs and 4 cats, after her daughter and me are going to the cinema to see smurfs 2 in 3D. After that we're going home and I go riding on Ulan. When I was waiting outside the cinemas with the daughter of the friend of Petra, we walked out to see if they where there but the moment we walked through the door it shuts and almost hits me. Anyway I'm at home trying to pack and before I leave with Petra to the airport, Julia will come to say goodbye. She will eat with us and we will play games together. There was a lot of traffic to get to the airport but we arrived just on time to get me signed in with my coach. I said goodbye and am going through security then the bus then I get on the plane.

Bye bye Germany! I had a fantastic time here!

Chuse!auvour!bye!

SERE-RUSTING.

It's the holidays now for two hole weeks and we have already planned everything here's my calendar: the first week I'm going to my grandmas place in sere-rusting and the second week I will go to my other grandmas place in Germany. Anyway where in the car now and we've just stopped to pick up Jairo my cousin and then we kept on driving for 1hour and 30 minutes. When we arrived I jumped out with my stuff and chose my room out.

These are my wallpapers in my room that I chose.

This is what it looks like next to my bed on the right side.

This is the wallpaper on the left side of my bed.

Yesterday Jairo (my cousin) and me watched gremlins 1 and 2 in the morning for 4 hours. After that we were about to start watching a tv series but Sylviane (my grandma) walked into the room and pushed us outside with her and forced us to play in the garden and do a little walk to breathe, I thought that was weird because I was breathing normally at least I think I was. Anyway we played on the swing for 15 minutes and after we played hand games for 10 minutes which was hard because I only know hand games girls like and he refused to do any of them so we had to think of our own ones. Next I played alone in the cabin and in the attic that's outside, it has lots of space and lots of games I can play with but I like it when I make houses in there like tents and stuff. Jairo wasn't going to enter in there cause he hates it, he thinks its boring and dirty I don't understand this because normally to boys it doesn't matter and I thought he wouldn't care cause he's 13 years old! Anyway I had fun by myself and when it was time to eat I was told to clean up the houses that i made and place everything where I found it cause all the things here are antiques and fragile because this house is already 100 years old and for 40 years my grandma has lived here.

This is the attic + cabin.

Lake in garden

This is the swing my auntys husband made for us.

For the rest of the day I'm going to make houses in the attic, play on the swing, watch a movie and play a game (-;.

Now that I've done all of that and the nine o'clock bell of the church rang, its time for me to go to bed so… night.p

Today we went to the beach with my grandma, step grandpa and my cousin (Jairo). The ride to the beach took 2 hours! The name of the beach was: Biarritz. I played a bit alone and collected shells and rocks, after I played with someone my age that I met on the beach. Anyway we bought something to eat at a cafe and ate it on the beach.

We went back to sere-rusting after that and for the rest of the day I packed my stuff because I was leaving tomorrow and I helped with the kitchen and I got it mow the garden with the tractor because we can't mow the garden with a normal mower, it would take 2 hours and a half at least, even with the mower it takes about 1 hour!

Tonight there was a movie on the tv so we stayed up until mammie Sylviane realised what time it was, Jairo and me knew what time it was but we weren't going to say that it was 11:00pm. But as soon as she found out she flipped and pushed us in bed so ….

night!

We arrived in Toulouse and Marion hadn't arrived yet so I played alone. I couldn't eat anything heavy because I'm going to take the plane tomorrow afternoon and I only can eat rice, so I ate rice for dinner for breakfast and for lunch.

Morning i went downstairs to eat my rice and asked Bruno when was Marion coming back and he said maybe around lunch time so while I was waiting for Marion, I prepared the cabin for Marion and me to play in. When they arrived we played all sorts of games in the cabin we made a garden, a bed, a bed for the cat that comes, we made a bench with draws that we used to place our things in and we made a double desk.

That's the cabins view in front but its bigger on the side. It's their grandpa that made it for Marion to play in.

We played in there all morning and then it was time for me to go to the airport. Marion and Sylvie came with me. Marion and I found music that we loved in the car on the radio and listened to it all the way.

Walking out of the car park and going in the airport. Marion demanded to carry the suitcase and refused to carry something else I don't know why?

At the airport checking in we are now going to wait for the coach at the park for kids in the airport. When he arrived there was one other kid with me that was going alone on the plane as well with the same coach. I said goodbye and passed threw security, then i waited with the boy and we talked for a while. We got asked questions like where are you going do you speak English or German and have you ever been alone on a plane before? The boy speaks French and nobody knew how to speak french so I had to translate. We where the firsts on the plane because where with a coach. On the plane I was next to the window and I slept most of the way.

Before going through security our coach checks our ticket with a machine that tells us if our tickets can be used or not.

Going through security. All good!

Night, goodbye France and hello Germany!

Now I'm at Toulouse in the middle of the country and I'm starting to get used to this house and my new family I'm really liking my bed its like a little cabin here, and also I have my own little table across my bed and the grandma of my cousin the one I'm living with made a little curtain on every side of the bed so when I want privacy or when I sleep I close the curtain. I already said goodbye to my mum at the airport (sad)!

But this is a photo of Marion, Yohan, Théo, sacha and me were we are at lazer tag but this lazer tag is a bit different it has a second floor where you play the game and the gun when you shoot there's an actuall line shot out of it and if you touch the line it's hot also the points are different. We played three times, each game is 20 minutes so we played for an hour.

Me and Yohan playing just dance two difficult! And the song is raining men!!! Winning now loosing.!

This is a photo of a little river with thousands of ducks and fishes. It's placed right next to where my cousin, yohan has his class for his feet because he has a problem with his feet, anyway we wait here until he's finished there's also a park with little games and a French bakery that we can smell even at the park my favourite in the bakery it's the muffins they make.

This is the big valley next to where we live and where here alone exploring the valley and the lake. We take always a little snack with jam and bread sticks to dip in the jam

Night everyone!:-b

Today we went to the circus we saw acrobats, dressage of cats, clowns, animals like camels that are as big as 5 of me, horses that did amazing tricks by themselves without a rider but with a trainer, lamas, magicians, monkeys and snakes.

RED LIKE CHERRIES! These are the monkeys we saw with a but completly red.

It's not always holidays for me either I do my maths every weekend and I finished my book already in Thailand long ago a month ago I think!:-b

School has already began it started 3 and a half weeks ago and every Wednesday school finishes at 12am at lunch time! Here they don't bring their lunch to school they can either go home to eat and play and then come back to school after the break or they stay at school play and after playing there's a place where you sit down and the school gives you your food it's awesome!(-;

I'm getting used to the area here we go biking to school every day and if you didn't already know we live in the country so the path is in the forest and the school is small but cool and the people here are nice and calmer than Narrabeen. I love my new room and my family is really supportive and they help me a lot. Night (-: (-;)-;/-;:-b

Everyone at the parking in Spain! Where going in this big house that has a pool and where staying here for three days and where going canyoning its going to be awesome! This is where we stayed in the country.

This is the canyoning the adults did but I don't have any photos of everyone doing it because we where in the water the whole time, it was absolutely beautiful and lots of fun we had slides that where created by nature itself that where made by waterfalls and rocks but you could easily slide down without getting hurt and also lots of high jumps that end up in the 3metre water. The water was so clear because where in the middle of the mountain here in Spain! But its freezing cold as well it's about 13 degrees Celsius our guide said. We are obliged to where 2cm thick wetsuits, a helmet and socks to go with our shoes that we take in the water with us because theres lots of rock where you could cut your foot really badly. The good thing is there's the sun but some of it is blocked by the mountain above us.

Go Olivier and don't fall down the 20metre drop that doesn't end in the clear beautiful calm water but in hard smashing rocks!

This is one of the cliffs that they climbed down and that's not all if you can see the rope continues a long long way down!

Yay Claire you made it half way already

Mathew waiting his turn above.

Your not dead? My mum at the end of the drop down the cliff.

Pascal my aunty has made it as we'll!

Our guide the pro he's not even holding on!

We're done now tomorrow where going not canyoning but all together a special river in the mountain with sun and slides and fun!

Night!

Now sitting next to the awesome river in the mountains not with a guide.

Wait…

Splash wait its not finished!

Ahh wait…

She wet everything hot on this rock nooo! Now we can't sun bake peacefully!

Swim. It's really fresh but so nice as well as the slide behind us that you really need to be careful with because its really slippery.

Bruno just arrived from the slide splash!

About to go down the massive slide!

Mums going down the slide and yohan is really stupid to do that because after he slipped because its really a slippery slide where you fall even when you walk! Now where all dried up and changed into our clothes we go to the house read and relax for a few hours then go in the pool one last time and after we played lots of French board games, after eat at the table and last but not least sleep.

NIGHT! (-: (-;

Hope you have a nice lunch to you and morning to me where going exploring today and tomorrow is the big day where we go back to sere-rusting and I go get arranged in my new house and new family my mum will go surfing in the France with her sister Claire and her niece jarrio for three days. While I rest in Toulouse where I'm staying for 2013 and up until march somewhere in the middle. After mums staying for two more days and after goodbye mum love you. Anyway where visiting a castle in Spain and after where going to go to a high lookout point where we see the whole town and the mountains which we will get to by a thirty minute walk, and after its our long trip back into France. Where In the tunnel under the mountain we just crossed the border line between Spain and France, and now everyone in the car is screaming out the window and in the car where in France whooo whooo! Where at sere-rusting now and where just stopping to get my big luggage case for France in my new room in Toulouse. Now at Toulouse, where already placing my things out and all my clothes, shoes and things. Now finished mums already back and now she sleeps one day and on the last day before the airport we go to the pool with the slide, current and massive pool. In the middle of the slide is a drop of 1metre that gives me a unormess shock and I was screaming the whole way through that I almost choked we did the slide 9 times and after we stopped and played in the pool and the current for a bit. Now at the airport giving kisses and huge hugs to my mum love you bye I cried a bit but now I'm not I'm more calm and I don't cry every night like I used to at the start of the arrival in Toulouse. Which is great!(-: (-; )-:

NIGHT!

Night again!

At my great uncles house with his wife and his cats. We are staying here for one night and I am having a great time so far they have a massive house and a pool! We had shrimp, salad, bread and rice, it was so nice. Before my great uncle we went to my great aunty and stayed at her lovely houses for one and a half days we saw The Loove but the cue was 1 hour and 30 minutes wait the man said, and we had to leave in 10 minutes so we took a lot of pictures but we didn't get to see the aboriginal painting I was crying because I knew miss Dickson wanted me to take a picture but I couldn't because otherwise we would miss the road to the country in France. If you can see there is a huge long line at the back for people who are absolutely desperate to go inside the Loove.

Too cute this is my little cousin in France at sere rusting outside the big house of my french family.

This is Jairo my cousin who is absolutely absessed with this game called dofus, it's when you play combats with other people and you make your own self.

This is Claire my aunty and the small girl is my cousin she's eight years old. Claire is also the mum of Jairo.

This is the game called dofus that Jairo (my cousin) was playing.

Pascal is the big one she is the lover of my uncle so she's my aunty and on her head is Alexandre my cousin and behind them is the swing. Pascal and my uncle Olivier are not actually married but they have a child.

Here this is the swing of the house my aunty Claire's husband builded it for us, right now their building a house that is so big and even has a pool! But for now they live here with Claire's mum my grandma Sylviane and the husband of Claire lives at a apartment so he can finish the house with his mates from work Claire goes to visit sometimes to help and also see her marrie.

This is Bondi the donkey that lives next door with his owner she's really nice and gentle, she can't harm you. You can feed her as well.

Big house small keys part one:

At sere rusting wondering what to do i walk up the stairs with Marion and just remembered that there was a door that never opened whithch ment it could only open with a key me and Marion tried a million times to try and find the key to this door but never found it and we also got into trouble lots of times by my grandma and jean-Louis but I should of new they where not going to let us scramble around their house for the key to a door that has been hidden behind carpet hanging on the wall me and Marion think we know where the door leads to. We think it leads to the atic witch is awesome because the atic has so much space and its really old and has chairs we can clean up and it's dusty and it also has lots and lots of old objects we really want. To play games up there I know we already can because there is a second floor and there's a door that leads up the stairs to the. Atic but where already playing down there but it would be just an adventure and cooler to find the key to the door only to use it when we need it.

Marion and me finally have something to do that is actually better than playing in the atic down below because this is a bit cheeky and I like cheeky and so does Marion my cousin.

Well now today it's time to go to Marion's house and get settled in. Night to you and good morning to me. But before we go I have to sleep so for me goodnight.

Last swim in water and last but not least view of the water.

Airport part one

At the airport Koh Samui with my 50 kilo luggage and mums 45 kilo luggage. We line up to check in so we can go on our flight and when mum gets to the lady at the desk she says could I please check in and the lady checks our flight and says your flight is tomorrow not today and mum starts laughing because she thinks its a joke nut case I say and after a few seconds she realizes that the flight is really tomorrow!

Airport part two

At airport wondering what in the world is going on and I say to mum just breath mum because she looks like she's gonna blow up her face is red her big mouth is screaming out things and her ears are starting to blow up as well. We ask a person at this weird shape desk outside if we could change our flight to tomorrow morning because our regular flight was at 9:30 pm and the lady at the desk said I could fit you in at 6:20 am so my mum said yes but now we have to get a hotel. By the way the flight is to Bangkok and when where at Bangkok we will go and explore with my mums friend who lives in Bangkok. QQ

Airport part three

At this new kind of hotel but it has an awesome beach so it was good enough for me it was really hot when we arrived but its only fifteen minutes away from the airport and the beach is twenty seconds walking from the mini house we have now at the hotel.

At the beach with delicious yummy fresh from a tree coconut there selling so many things right on the beach because there a bit poor and need money so they are clever and go on a very touristic beach and sell icecreams beach balls and balloons jewelry all sorts of things.

This is the photo of the photo of me holding a monkey called Simon he was on a man and I asked if I could hold him and he had this special camera that brings out an instant photo I will show you when i get back. He's really soft and he just climbs all over you. He's really lite as well.

I didn't sleep at all tonight to much partying on the beach and lots of fireworks any way I'm in Bangkok now the flight was only 45 minutes but I slept all the way I was so tired. But now I'm with a friend of my mum and where going to a massive market where I'm going to try everything.

At Bangkok now with my mums friend eating Thai pasta in the food court yum. Where at the biggest market I've ever been to and it's like a maze. There's food, clothes and lots and lots of souvenirs.

Lots and lots of stuff but I'm not holding them my mums friend is.

Trying on even boy clothes and swimmers (not pretty) they have the weirdest change rooms here they just blankets around wood in a circle, you stand in it and change.

Part of the market and so so many people.

In mall next to heaven and with my mouth drulling behind it.

I want all four of them! Mums says after eating and shopping well go to the airport and a can sleep a bit on the couch cause now where taking a flight to Dubai and its seven hours and we will arrive at four am in the morning and after where catching another flight to Paris and its six hours which means we will be at Paris in the morning at 11 or 12 am in the middle of the day.

Now going to the couch to sleep a bit I'm so tired night well good morning for you

[ This post is actually my very first blog post !! Happy reading]

On the 4th of August I got pushed into Saint Louis hospital in Bangkok from a wheelchair trying to not vomit and trying really hard to fight against my very unwell stomach

Inside of the Saint Louis Hospital I got injected with fluid with a large needle because i didn't eat any food or water in the past 30 hours. When the nurse was getting ready to place the needle in me I asked her is this going to hurt and she replied by saying yes it will a lot and that's all she said when we were in the room!

Now that I'm better I can finally enjoy the infinity pool that we have at the hotel in Bangkok. It's even bigger when your actually there it awesome!

About to jump in its warmer then I thought it would be except when I pushed my mum in she shouted out “Its absolutely freezing!” I only have one more night until we hop on the plane to go to the island in Thailand still. My mum said tonight we are going to Central world one of the biggest shopping malls in the world and her friend is going to meet us at the front of ToysRus!

This is my mums old friend when I asked my mum what does he look like she said he is almost bold he's old looking, hairy and very nice and funny

This is the boat we took from the air port to the island it's very old fashion but so fun and cool.

This is just a small part of our house at the resort outside, It's beautiful isn't it.

This is the other part of our house its got a wonderful view and bathtub( when we got there it was really dirty) It's really hot every day here it's about 32 degrees even at night it's 26 degrees sometimes 30 degrees!

This is the other beach called yuan the way you get there is by walking on a man made bamboo bridge and then walk on a rock to get to this point it's like a 5 minute walk from our resort. It's also a place to meditate.

On the beach now righting and taking pictures to show you guys I just went for a swim and the water is really warm here even my mum says so.

There are a lot of dogs and cats around here that live at the resort but this is my favourite dog I call him Marcy because I've always wanted a dog called Marcy so now I do.

This is my favourite cat here I call her sleepy because she's always sleeping in different places.

This is a part of how the sand looks like at the resort on the beach. It looks hard but it's actually quite soft when your feet are in it.

This is the boat that brought us here and it's also the right end of the beach.

This is the left end of the beach it's really beautiful.

If you look closely there's a platform where you swim to and there's a hammock a diving board and a sun baking platform it's really much bigger when your on it.
