Well Room 18, it’s the final city in Ms H’s travel journey, Bangkok , Thailand.

Yesterday we walked around (well Ms H did, I just rode around in her bag!) the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Kaew. Then we took a river boat to tour the waterways of Bangkok. This is the home of Central Thais, river people who build their homes, livelihoods and capitals along the waterways. We crossed to the other side of the river to visit the temple Wat Pho. It was very hot and sticky.

Today we went for an amazing breakfast at a very flash hotel (that was part of an American Hotel Chain). You can only just imagine the smorgasboard of different food available. From bagels, buns and toast, to cereals, to bacon & eggs, to fruit & yoghurt to traditional thai food and soups. Incredible! (Ms H forgot to take a picture she was too overwhelmed by all the food!!)

Ms H couldn’t resist making me pose with Ronald McDonald, just to show you all, there was McDonalds everywhere we went!!

Finally, you can’t visit Bangkok without having your photo taken with an elephant!

See you all in a few days time - Can’t wait!

Today Ms H was very adventurous again and tried some more food that she’d never tried before. I wasn’t very hungry so I agreed to pose with the food for today’s challenge.

Ms H wan’t you to guess what culture last night’s tea belong to? (A clue: it’s not Thai)

Next you need to guess what culture tonight’s food comes from and there’s an extra prize if you correctly guess what its called.

Then there was dessert. No need to have you guess what that was. Yum yum!

I could not believe it, Kawekakea disappeared again! I think he is really enjoying himself on this journey!

Can you work out where he went this time and what else he did?
This is a challenge question - goodie bag prize for best answer!

When I woke up this morning, Kawekakea was already gone! Quite a few hours later he returned, exhausted and much too tired to tell me where he’d been and what he’d done.

Can you figure out which country we are in and where Kawekakea’s been and what on earth he got up to?

Something from the goodie bag for the person who best describes Kawekakea’s adventure!

Hey Room18, Ms H and I tried an alfajor for the first time.

Can you think what biscuit in NZ would be very similar to the alfajor?

First correct answer will win something from Ms H’s Argentinean Goodies Bag!

PS:  Muchas gracias to Gise, (a student that I have met here in Parana) for correcting my spelling of delicious in espanol!!

¡Hola! ¿Que tal?

I hope you are enjoying being with Mr E!  I am missing you all!  I thought I would share some photos of Buenos Aires and Paraná (that´s where I am staying in Argentina).

Buenos Aires is the capital city of Argentina. 

Paraná is the capital of the Province Entre Ríos so it is quite a big city.  It is 470km from Buenos Aires and it took 8 hours in a bus to get here.   This is the Paraná River.

Tomorrow my host mother - Carmen, is taking me on a sightseeing trip around Paraná. I will share those photos with you later.

I would love to hear what you are doing in class so please post a comment. If you can´t remember how to post a comment, ask Mr E (he knows how to do everything!)

¡Bueno! Ms H (Kawekakea is having a siesta!)
