Trip to Japan

Tokyo-Yokohoma

I left Denver today at 6:15 a.m today. I arrived here in Tokyo the next day around 8 or 9 in the morning. As soon as I landed in Tokyo I left the airport and checked into a hotel really fast, because I knew I am going to have a great time here. Out of all of the places in the world I have really been wanting to visit Tokyo. Finally I made it. Tokyo reminds me of Las Vegas back home in America, with all of the lights and so many people around. Tonight I think I am going to enjoy myself and go out to a night club. Wow last night was such a great night, i even made some friends. So today my friends are going to take me around Tokyo. The first place my friends are going to take me is a amusement park called Toshimaen/Hydro Polis. Toshimaen/Hydro Polis is just like a Elitches that I have back home in Denver. I had so so so much fun here. So after we left the amusement park we went out to dinner for my last night in Tokyo. After dinner i am going straight to the hotel and going to bed, because I got a early flight in the morning to Yokohama, Japan. I arrived in Yokohama at 12:00 p.m. As soon as i got to Yokohama i hurried and explored around because i only had today to explore around. So the first place I went to was Chinatown, Chinatown was so amazing to see. Chinatown was filled with amazing temples. The temple that mostly caught my eye there was the Kanteibyo. The reason why this temple caught my attention was because it was filled with colors all over. This temple is the center of attraction in Chinatown. Well after i was done exploring around i went to the hotel and start pack up my things for my trip back home.

Trip to Mexico

mexico city- cancun

I left Denver,Colorado today at 11:20 a.m. today, I landed in Mexico City at 2:30 p.m. As soon as I landed I went around exploring. While I was exploring I ran into a city called Zocalo. Zocalo was really nice and popular place in Mexico City. Zocalo is the largest plaza in Latin America, and is second largest in the world after Moscow's Red Square. After I got done exploring around Zocalo,I decided to check into a motel and spend the night here. But in the morning I would head to one of the nicest places in Mexico. Cancun here I come. It is 9:26 a.m. I am heading to the airport to catch my plain to Cancun. 12:35 p.m I have arrived in Cancun, as soon as I landed I went to go find a motel for a 3 day and 2 night stay, because I knew I was going to have a great time here. The motel I checked into was called Riu Palace. Riu Palace is right on the beach, I can see the sun peek over the water first thing in the morning. Well after I checked into my motel I went around exploring again, so for the past 2 days i just walked around looking for more things that would amaze me. My last and final day in Cancun, I just relaxed on the beach waiting till it was time to catch my plain later on today at 4:30 p.m.

I leave Denver at 11:00 a.m. I landed at 9:00p.m as soon as I got here i just checked into hotel in a little town called Asyut and went to bed because today was a very long long day. I woke up around 12:00 p.m and left and explored around. While i was exploring around I ran into the University of Asyut. After i got done looking around the university I just left and went on with my trip to the Western Sahara in Africa also. when I got here I went to a little town called Samara. Samara is a great little city I saw so many things. Samara is the largest city in Western Sahara. This city was the only city not ruled or found by the Spanish, this city was founded in 1869. In 1934 this town was destroyed by the Spanish, but than was rebuilt and is still here today. Im glad that my last day here was on a good note.

Trip to South America

Ecuador-Colombia

My trip to Ecuador. Today I am going to Ecuador in South America. I leave Denver today at 12:30 p.m. I am really excited to explore Ecuador. I landed in Ecuador at 6:45 p.m. As soon as I landed I went out on a adventure looking around seeing things I never saw before. The first place I went to look around was Riobamba, in Riobamba they hold a lot of festivals. The festivals are amazing. The festivals only are held in December all the way to January 6th. April 21st there is also a big festival, and November 11th is the day they declared independence from the Spanish Empire's, but then was retaken soon after. But on this day Riobamba holds a big festival. These festivals include colorful parades, and music. I had a fun time at the festival in April because I got to try many many different foods. After a week or so I left Ecuador and headed on to Columbia. Columbia I have heard great things about it, so I decided since I am out here exploring around in South America that I should check out Colombia. When I got to colombia I walked around and visited Bolivar Plaza. The Bolivar Plaza was really interesting, but the most interesting part was the history of the Palace of Justice. The Palace of Justice was built in 1921 and destroyed by a fire during the Bogotazo in April 1948. But than was rebuilt on the north side of the BolĂ­var Square and destroyed again in November 1985 by the guerrilla movement M-19 during the "Palace of Justice Siege", while the army tried to take control of the building. The ruins of the building was kept untouched for four years until the government decided to demolish them and construct the new building that currently exists. Finally after learning all of the history of this plaza I left and went to a hotel because the next day I had to catch my flight back home.
