Activity 2

On Google, research the country that you have chosen to visit and write, in your own words, three interesting facts about that country. They must be facts that weren’t already provided on the World Map.

My country was Australia . My first fact, that Australia is the sixth largest country by the area it is pretty big but not to big to beat Russia and Asia. Fact 2. Did you know that Australia's name came from the people in Latin Australia actually means southern so that is pretty cool to know where the name came from.Fact 3. Australia held two Olympic games the first one was in 1956 in Melbourne and the second one in 2000 in Sydney.

I knew this fact new Zealand changed their flag, because I had researched this and found cool things and I shared it to my family when the news came on with New Zealand is about to change their flag. Australia had claimed their Flag eleventh of January 1903 but claimed their flag on September the 3rd 1901. We claimed our flag on twenty fourth of march 1902 but started using the flag since 1869.

Activity One

After you have read the quick facts about each place you must choose ONE country that you would like to ‘visit.’ On your blog post the name of the country and tell us why you have chosen to visit it. Please give, at least, two reasons for choosing the country.

I have chosen to go with Australia because it has a great tropical vibe to it, and also they have their own kind of twist in sports, although I love sports I still love the way that new Zealand play's but in Australia it is great to learn new things . I have also been to Australia for a sporting event for my sister and we stayed with heaps of family members and we stayed in Brisbane for two tournaments in wakaama then drove to Melbourne for a relaxation time.

I did actually know that Australia has six states but what I did not know was that they had a gem called the opal gem. Australia is a great place and I know that some family members stay in Sydney so sometimes I learn some things from them, and since my grandparents had taken recent trips there I learn a couple things from them too.
