Roadtrip

We have been asked to write about a road trip tour of the UK. We decided then to travel around England. The reason I chose to go to England is because the history and the culture is so exciting. The car we intend to use in England is a pink Lamborghini with my dear friend of mine Charlotte.

 We started the trip to Manchester, we were watching a football match on a track called Old Trafford. Where would Manchester play against Liverpool. The battle was appointed 5-1 to Manchester. After the game was finished, we went to the hotel called Hilton Manchester Deansgate. We stayed at the hotel for three days and the second day in Manchester, we went to a famous museum called Museum of the university. Manchester Museum is a museum displaying works of archaeology, anthropology and natural history and is owned by the University of Manchester.

Manchester has a population with over 514, 417 (2013) people. Manchester has a history that concerned with textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution. Manchester was dubbed Cottonopolis and Warehouse City during Victorian era. The Victorian is a part of the British history and the British Empire, at the period of the Queen Victoria’s reign from 20 June 1837 – 22 January 1901 on the day she died. Manchester was the first and greatest industrial city in the world without challenge.

The second place we left for was Nottingham. Nottingham is a city in the ceremonial county of Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands of England.  Nottingham is known for the links to the legend of Robin Hood and lace- making bicycle and Tabaco industries. Nottingham has a population on 310, 837 thousand.  Robin Hood traditionally depicted as being dressed in Lincoln green, he is often recognized as "Robbing from the rich and giving to the poor" alongside his band of "Marry Men". Robin Hood became a popular folk figure in the medieval times and continues to be widely represented in contemporary literature, film and television. We lived at a hotel named Park Plaza Nottingham. We stayed in Nottingham around 3 days, by those days we went to the Robin Hood statue, and walked around in the city. The second day we went to a museum called natural history museum. ‘’ Since Wollaton Hall opened to the public in 1926, it has been home to the city's Natural History Museum. On display are some of the best elements of the three-quarters of a million copies that constitute its zoology, geology and botany collections’’ (taken from http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/article/22204/About-Us chapter 1 under Natural history museum). The third day we packed and left to the next city. 

The third place or city we left for Birmingham is England's second largest city. They have around 1.1 million inhabitants. The town has a nickname that is Brum and they have a dialect called brummie. Several Roman live there because the city was in Roman times when it lived life in the city. When we were at Birmingham, we just drove by. 

The last city we went for was London. We stayed at a hotel named park plaza hotel London for a week. The first day we went to madame tussaud. Madame Tussauds is a wax museum. The founder of the museum was a woman named Marie Tussaud. She was born on 1 December 1761 in a German-speaking family. Madame Tussaud has great tourist's attractions because they wax of both known and unknown. The second day we went to see big ben, and the London eye. Big Ben is actually called Great bells is the nickname of the main bell tower of the Palace of Westminster in London. Two aspects of how it was named. It is said that the clock tower should have been named after Chief Commissioner Sir Benjamin Hall. But it is also said that it may have been named after pro boxer Benjamin Caunt. The third day we went to the British museum. British museum is one of the world's most famous museums and famous. It is located on Great Russell Street in Camden in London. The founder was called Sir Hans Sloane, and was founded in 1753. Here we saw including Egyptian mummies, samurai sword, Greek states and Viking weapons. The main thing at this museum and why it was founded was because Sir Hans Sloane had his collection there. And the last days of the trip we shopped around for the most famous streets like Oxford Street, Knightsbridge and Bluewather shopping center.

This is how our trip went, what we saw, what we did, and where we went. It was an amazing trip where we learned a lot, and got to see a lot as well. 

Illusion is the first of all pleasures-Oscar Wilde

This quote is my favorite ‘’Illusion is the first of all pleasures.’’ I liked it because I agree with it. When you think of something before it happens, it can be a pleasure. When it is not an illusion, but it actually happens or you do it, it can be a lot different from your illusion. It can be a better pleasure or not a pleasure at all. However, when it is an illusion you can pretend, or think it would be great. I think this is a good quote. 

Schooltrip

Tuesday last week we went on a school trip. We drove a bus from our school until we stopped in Lillehammer. We ate at Mc Donalds and buyed food for the rest of the day and breakfast for wednesday in Lillehammer, then we drove to ''Helvete''. We looked at and walked in potholes in ''Helvete''. We selpt in tents at Heidal camping on tuseday.

We went rafting on wednesday morning, but some of the students stayed at the camping. Rafting was fun and cold when we felt in the water. We drove to a museum in Lom after we changed to dry clothes. After a look at the museum we walked in pyramids of glacial material. Then we drove to Bøverdalen, ate dinner, got our rooms and brought our stuff to the rooms.

On thursday went everybody except Sverre, Per Olav and I. We had to wait for the others in like 7 hours in the Juvasscab. After the 7 hours, we went back to bøverdalen and ate dinner. Everybody was just hanging out with each other after the dinner. My room mates and I, spent most of the time on our room, We talked a lot, joked, listened to music and danced a little.

Then it was friday and we drove the bus home. It was a long bus trip home, but it was ok. 

Here is a Picture of Maxi, Sverre, Madelen and I on the bus on tuesday.

Three songs

Today in class we listened to three songs, the first song we listened to is called "I am a Rock". "I am a Rock" says that you are alone, in the dark, hiding and friendship causes pain. Song nr. 2 "You'll never walk alone" says the opposite of what "I am a Rock" is about. "You'll never walk alone" says that you'll never be alone, and there is always someone there for you. There is someone out there who will support you and love you. The third song "No Man is an Island" says that every man have a meaning. Every man is a part of the main,
