Burma Days Pt. 2 Shwe Dagon Pagoda

Burma days Pt. 1: First Day

Our flight landed four hours and eleven minutes (when I started typing eleven) ago. Of course, we had to go through customs and immigration, get our luggage, and convert a substantial sum of money into Burmese currency, before we could leave the airport. Then (in the airport)  we met with the leaders of the pwo Kayin Seminary, and they drove us to our guest house, where we am now. So far I like Myanmar. It's a place where palm trees and other such plants grow. It's a tropical climate, with a low of sixty-four in the cool season. The leader of the seminary gave us dinner at the school, and today he gave us a tour of the seminary. He also gave us lunch and brought us to the national village, a museum of different tribal areas, with shops and houses and such. Then they took us to the Shwe Dagon Pagoda, and we stayed there for an hour and a half to two hours. There is one interesting thing in particular about this trip: a lot of people, mostly girls have wanted to take their picture with me. POOOTAAAATOOOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! After we went to the Shwe Dagon Pagoda, They brought us back to the seminary for supper. It was a nice supper, with rice and shrimp (a delicacy) and vegetables with a garlic sauce, as well as soup, and some other things. Then we came back to the guest house and have been there since. Today we also went down and payed for our tickets to the celebrations. Well, it's about midnight here, and 12:22 were you are (eleven and a half hour time difference), so I should probably stop. Bye for now!

Hi Guys!, Jordan here. In L.A., that is. Thats right, I'm in California! Unfortunately I will be leaving in

only a few hours. :( But then I'll be on my way to Burma! :) But I can't tell you about that now, because

it hasn't happened yet. :( I can, however, tell you about my stay L.A. When we got here last night, we

basically checked and went straight to our rooms. Mom and I did look and see if they had a hot-tub, but

they didn't. :( Then I watched a show on T.V. about the secrets of the earth that I thought was pretty

cool. Who knew the Weather Channel could be that interesting. :) Then we went to bed, and I woke up

early, early for here, that is, it was about ten for you guys, and didn't really leave my room (I might

have gone out into the hall) until about 8:30 (here), around an hour and a half after I woke up. I had a

nice breakfast (buffet style) at the hotels resturant, had a few scares with the elevators, had mom try to

locate Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasly), and Emma Watsons (Hermione

Grangers) handprints, footprints, and wandprints on the walk of fame. Then we went on a very nice

V.I.P. tour of Los Angeles, with a very nice driver, and the chance to take a lot of pictures. And here

they are (some of them, anyway):

Harry Houdini's star!

We fight for Justice, Order, and Coupons!

Ready for anything!

Expensive pictures with characters

The Manns Chinese Theater

Star Wars prints!

Welcome to Erebor!

Preview trailer for "The Desolation of Smaug"

The Harry Potter stars hand, feet, and wand prints! 

                                                                     

 I have (or had) the same size handprint as Daniel Radcliffe! (Harry Potter)     

A really expensive car. Somewhere in the millions

Well, thats enough for now! I may come back later and add more photos and captions, but I don't have much time and I shouldn't keep you to long, but check this post every once in awhile.

Bye for now!

"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey"

I went to see the Hobbit with some friends on Saturday. The friends were called the "Geek Fellowship." Going with 23 friends was kinda fun. The movie was AWESOME! It was one of the best (if not the best) movie(s) I have ever seen. And it fit perfectly with "The Lord of the Rings." And besides that, it shows why dwarves dislike elves, what Bilbo looked like 60 years ago, and that "Biffer, Boffer, Dwalin, Balin, Fili, Kili, Orie, Norie, Oin, Gloin, Bombur, and Thorin Oakenshield should meet "the Fellowship of the Ring." I am going to interveiw one of the people who saw it with me.

Me: Did you like the movie?

Elijah: Yes, I did.

Me: did you think it was close to the book?

Elijah: Not very, but in some parts.

Me: Did you like the things they added to the movie?

Elijah: Yes.

Me: Did you like the cliff-hanger ending?

Elijah: It was a good way to end the movie.

Me: Did you think it fit the "Lord of the Rings" storyline?

Elijah: It did.

Me: Okay! Thank you for your time!

Elijah: You're welcome.

That is the Interview of Elijah, I hope you find it helpful. All in all, I think they did a very good job on "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey." The sets and stuff (costumes, c.g.i., etc., etc., etc....) were very good, especially the dwarf kingdom of Erebor. And a lot of it (I thought) was similar to the books, though there were some differences. The End.
