My trip to Hawaii

I would like to go once in my life to Hawaii. It is a tropical place, always sunny and has its own volcano.

In order to get to Hawaii I would buy an airplane ticket, because it is an island in the middle of the pacific ocean, far away from any land . I would have to fly from Toulouse to Amsterdam (Netherlands), from Amsterdam to Los Angeles (USA) and finally from Los Angeles to Honolulu (Hawaii). Therefore, I would be in three different countries and two different continents; the trip will take 36 hours, from which  half of them I would be in airplanes and the other half in airports. I would need 2,281 Euros to go there and come back.

One of the reasons why I want to go to Hawaii is the lights at night. You can see the reflection in the ocean.

Another reason is the colors in the sky and the amazing beaches.

The typical movie from Hawaii is Lilo and Stitch from Walt Disney.
The reason why I learned about this extraordinary place is because of my friend's grandparents, they lived there.

Number 12

                                      

2 X 2 X 3 = 12.

12 isn't a prime number.

In 12 years I will be 20.

½ of 12 is 6.

There are 12 months in a year.

There are 12 hours in an afternoon/evening.

Toulouse's Demonstrations

Yesterday, I went to Toulouse with my family. I saw lots of people in the streets, walking with signs that said "Je suis Charlie ".

Here are two pictures from  yesterday:

I have never seen so many people in the street and I was really impressed.

Hundred word story

The night arriving, an ant sleeping, two elephants competing to have a flag. Boats sinking in the sky, signs everywhere, number one on the road. Smiles in the sky, elephants are sleepy and tired; they are also still and sweating and in all types of colours. They are cold and sad; there are spots and colours everywhere, there are lines and two eyes, there are red things and black things.

However, if you look twice, you can also see a snake looking at the ant, a duck flying around and Mr Gregg with his halloween’s face!!!

It is amazing how many things you can see!

A Young Lady's Adventure

She met a big fat fish in the forest. Eyes were watching her. She was lost and she was wondering what to do. So, she asked the big fat fish how could she come out of the forest.

“Follow my friend the red dragon, and he will lead you to the village,” said the big fat fish.

So the dragon asked her, “Where do you want to go?”

And she said, “I want to go to the village.”

The way was long and boring. It took three days to get the village.

She said to the dragon, “Goodbye and thanks.”
