Dream country to visit: Now this is a hard question to answer!! I really want to travel, and yes I travel with work but I want to travel like a tourist and go to really amazing place. I can’t pick a country as such but a few of my top to go places would be Machu Picchu, Victoria Falls. But I also want to go to China and Ireland… Actually I pretty much want to go everywhere.
What was the last thing to make you laugh out loud: Hahahaha. Yesterday my 2 Kiwi friends showed me this Kiwi tv commercial about drink driving (its called Legend) which was hysterical. Then we sat and watched news reporter bloopers and Japanese game show bloopers for a couple hours, was so funny haha.
What was the last dream you remember? There is this cartoon called Avatar the Last Airbender (one of my favourite shows!!!!!) and in the show there are different tribes and they control the elements like earth fire etc. Well the last dream I had was about the show and I had the ability to control the elements was pretty cool! Then I woke up and was pretty gutted! haha
One word to describe yourself: Different
