  1. My favorite was Australia. Because it was more fun but India is ALL facts I love both but I love Australia even more I loved surfing and the Opera I like India because it has good juice and I think I would like the samosa if it didn't have so much spice. But I still like India. I loved this years Inter national fair more this year.

  4. It was really fun to surf in Australia. It surprised me on how hard it was to throw a boomerang in Australia. In India I bought my mom some some bracelets. The sheep fur on the patio in Australia was really soft, I also thought singing to queen Elizabeth for her birthday was fun. In India it was neat to try something new I really liked the samosa and mango juice. Learning about the Taj Mahal was also fun, did you know that it took 22 years to build it and about 20,000 people to finish the building do to all that marble they had to put in and designs on them. The sponge cake was really good and the sarsaparilla was really good it tasted like root beer.

  5. International fair was really good this year. The surroundings looked just like the real country. India was really cool! The mango juice was so good. The samosa was good. But I couldn't eat it because it was spicy. When I saw that Griffen ate his whole thing. How do you do that? The group were we got the stamp and learned about the Taj Mahal. It is a tomb. On the way out Walker and I ran back in and bought our moms bracelets. The problem was they didn't fit my mom. Today we went to Australia. It was awesome. My favorite part was surfing and throwing the boomerang. I hit the bird twice. Surfing was fun and I like the sunscreen. The Sydney opera house was fun. The cake and the sarsaparilla were so good. The sarsaparilla tasted like root bear. It was fun singing opera. Im looking forward to international fair next year. I wonder what the countries next year will be?

  7. I loved Australia and India so much that it is better than any other year. Even though I didn't go to Kinkaid last year. I still did see the countries last year. In Australia we went surfing, sang opera, through boomerangs, and learned some new things about animals. In India we learned about Indian weddings, learned what a life on an Indian farm , and learned how to shop in a market. That's all I have

  8. I think it was really fun to surf in India. I never thought that it would be so challenging to throw a boomerang in Australia. Singing for Queen Elizabeth in a opra voice was Fun . In India my favorite thing is shop and buy a comic book or bangles. to learn about weddings and Learn about the Taj Mahal. My favorite food is the sponge cake in Australia and my favorite drink is the mango juice in India. I never knew that it took about 20,000 people work on the Taj Mahal and took 22 years to build! The wedding dresses in India are orange and here they are pretty much all white!

  11. I did not know that throwing a boomerang could be so hard!
    I love surfing but you have to go somewhere far away, so I LOVED surfing at international fair! I loved both of the foods that I tried. The coins from India were very different than what we are used to. The sarsaparilla tasted a lot like root beer. Queen Elizabeth's birthday was very fun. I was surprised by the Indian market, it is very different than your regular day market. The mango juice was kind of sweet but it was very good.
    I loved International Fair this year!

  14. I thought that Australia was more fun, but India had more learning. The somas were so good! I love mango juice. Spongecake was very good. Sarsaparilla taste like root beer. Taj Mahal was really cool! Sydney Opera House was so cool we got to say happy birthday in Opera! The Beach was so cool! The yellow flag means danger. Blue and yellow flags together mean it's ok to surf. I didn't know that you half to wear red on your wedding, and you can't stand up for THREE WHOLE DAYS!

  16. I enjoyed going on the surf board to " hang ten '' in Australia. Did you know that in Australia at the beach the yellow flag means danger like a shark or huge waves or even jellyfish. I also enjoyed the spounge cake we got to have in the Sydney Opera house. In India I learned that most people there like spicy foods. Did you know that in India on wedding celebrate lastes for THREE DAYS!!!! The bride wears the colors red and orange on their wedding dress instead of white. I also learned that an empire build the Taj Mahal in honor of his love for his wife who had died. It took 22 years to build the Taj Mahal and about 2,500 people worked on it. So far i have been to Spain, Japan, Kenya, Ireland, Argentina, China, India, and last but definitely not least, Australia.

    I hope you learned something about India or Australia. Or both!!
    And that's a rap!!!!

  20. It's Douglas I know I'm not in your class anymore but a still want to share. I only have been to India but I do have some facts I would like to share. Number one I didn't know they had school during summer but they do have a month of winter break. I also didn't know that they had Tigers in India and one more fact I didn't know that weddings in India lasted 3 or 4 days. I have some more facts I need to go take a shower and go to basketball and of course to do my fourth grade blog. Have HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!
