This is Lauren. This is my first blog. I don’t really like traveling. After the touring, I just want to sit down and rest in my bed. But I have seen some good things:
Japan – My favorite place we have been on this trip is Tokyo. It was very clean and efficient and has great toilets too!! Some play music and the seats are heated too!

My favorite food in Japan was Ton Katsu – it was like friend chicken. We went to a traditional ryokan where we got to wear kimonos. We had a 12 course meal – it was good.

We went to Harry Potter World !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There was Honeydukes with all of this candy like exploding bon bons, sugar quills and choclate frogs. There was pumpkin juice too. I bought a wand at Ollivander’s wand shop – it was a holly or a different wand. The ride we went on was 4D, you could hear air, rain, dragons come at you and you turn and twist. You get surprised!

Hogwarts Express
The Flying Car!!

China – my favorite thing in China was Disneyland, it was so fun!!!!!!! We went on this Buzz Lightyear ride five times. Then we went to this Stitch encounter. When it started to turn darker, we went to the light parade. Then we saw fireworls. It was an amazing day! We celebrated our birthday there.

We also saw the Great Wall of China. We went up a ski lift to get to the wall. We walked along the wall for an hour or so. I thought it was cool. But then…we went on a tobaggan!! It’s like a sled, but you control your speed. It was super fun!

We have also been to Vietnam and Cambodia. In Vietnam we hung out and in Cambodia we saw a lot of temples. Keep it short and simple I say.
BANANAS!
