On our last day in Hong Kong we went to the Ocean Park. We saw sharks, fish, and a dolphin and seal show. It was very fun and the last thing Kelly and I did was ride 'The Dragon'. It was my first roller coaster ride and I was a little nervous that I might get sick or freak out and make a fool of myself.
For Kelly, roller coasters are just a breeze. She took the very front seat. I did the same.
From there it was all hoots and yells. I'd do it again if I could. If you want to see how the ride went, click here- http://www.oceanpark.com.hk
Click on Park Explorer, then click the Headland Rides link. Click on The Dragon video.

That evening we took a ferry across the bay to a swing dancing place. At first I was really nervous because everyone there was a lot better than me. Kelly is REALLY good! As the evening went on I was about to watch how the pros did it and learn from them. By the end of the dancing I had loosened up and was having lots of fun.

Some tips (from Kelly) on swing dancing (mainly for leads)-
  • Dance on the balls of your feet. Not your heels.
  • Keep right hand firm, supporting your partner.
  • Relax left hand.

Alright! Byebye!

    My Aunt and Uncle on my dads side are really good at swing dancing! When we went down to Florida about two years ago my uncle taught us how. Anyway... bye, bye:)

  7. Haha! You're funny! I like your questions.

    Um... I answered in the poll (was it your blog? or Davids?) that I'm for both. I think both sides had legitimate things they were fighting for. The war was more than just about slavery, there were lots of other things at stake.

    I guess if I had to choose a side,
    it would be the North, because they ended slavery.

  8. Everybody thinks that the North were just trying to end slavery... they had slaves too, and treated them worse that the South. The South's slaves loved their masters... The North just used slavery as a cover up so everyone thought they were fighting for a good cause. But really they wanted to govern over all the South people... I bet you didn't know that:) Maybe... most people think the war was all about slavery, and it really wasn't!

  9. Yeah, I knew that. :)

    But I'm still for the North because, though their motives may not have been good, they still ended slavery by winning the war. :)

    Ha! So there!.... JK

    I assume you're for the South then...?
