Burj Khalifa

Hiya Chummies,
If you read my Plane Experiences. Then you will know that I went to Dubai in the half term and went up the tallest building in the world! It is called the Burj Khalifa fornally known as ( Burj Dubai )and is 828m high! The highest observation deck ( the highest the general public can go) is 555m. You can buy flats in it which are pretty pricey...It was opened on 1st October 2009. Here are some pictures of my visit up there!







The Architect (Adrian Smith) got a bit bored when the Burj was finished so he decided to make an ever bigger one! His next building is supposed to 'Cheat The Wind'. It will be called Kingdom Tower and is in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It is going to be 1008m (more than a kilometer!) It will be finished by 2017 if everything goes to plan and there aren't any delays. Here's a picture of it.
See ya' later, Alligator.

Plane Experiences

Hiya Chummies!
I just came back from Dubai on the plane... god it was awful. Since I was little, I have had a habit of sleeping for takeoff and landing and during the flight I have been wide awake and cranky as hell! My brain always seems to go into depression mode on flights and I always think about the bad things in life and everything and everyone that makes me mad and upset. I then mourn in silence for however long I have stuck in that hell whole... Cheery huh? I am going to share with you my experiences of flights. The ups and the downs, the escape plans and the breakdowns. Let me describe my Dubai flight first.

 It was miserable. I was in economy which I didn't mind but I got really angry when they gave me egg for dinner. I HATE egg. Uh... Just writing about it is making me queazy. So I didn't have any dinner. Also, for lunch they gave  me a fruit salad with kiwi in it! a). In America it's a silent rule that if you need to feed a child you don't know you don't give them nuts or kiwi. b). Who puts kiwi in a fruit salad for people they don't know!!!!!!! ( incase you don't know, I am really badly allergic to kiwi and am in risk of anafalactic shock- basically dying...ish search it up!
          I know that people always complain about people kicking your seat and that is mostly done by small, annoying young, nose picking little boys. But you get to a whole new level when someone is constantly opening and closing their front pocket the whole time! When you are doing it, you don't really realize that you are, in theory, pulling and pushing at someone's back! The guy behind me clearly doesn't read my blog because it was like, every time he read a word, he put his book away then got it out again for the next word! ( not a very sufficient reading process if you ask me...).

Then you get to the awkwardness of when you are either travelling alone or separated from your travelling buddy on the plane and you need the loo. They are most likely asleep, watching those tiny tvs or eating and you can never pluck up the courage to ask them to move! Is it just me, or does it seem like your seating neighbours have infinite bladders? Also, it seems to me that the only time I EVER  need the loo is when the seatbelt sign is on??? uhhhhh!! middle class problems...
I just want to apologise for not posting lately before I carry on because I have actually been working on and off on this post for a week or two, it is just taking so long! So I won't bore you with this post for much longer.

The complaining flyer:
There was a man sitting a few seats away from me breaking pretty much as many rules as he could. He had his feet up, seat back,laptop up, no seatbelt... and that was just for take off... Members of staff kept on coming over but couldn't tell him off because they had 'done something unspeakable!' ( apparently ) From what I gathered, something happened like, he booked a business class seat and there was an overflow in business so he was moved to economy. He was very clear on the fact that the airways company ( I'm not saying who I flew with because I actually really like the company!) did everything wrong and that he would NEVER be flying with them again..... ha ha ha!
When we collected our baggage, we waited for 45 minutes until ours came out! ( bearing in mind we had fast passes on our cases) so we got really bored and there was a huge spillage of wine/vinegar all around the conveyer belt and it was mank!
That's all I'm going to bore you with this time ,
See ya' later, Alligator

Beautiful Cornwall- October half term

Hiya Chummies!
Sorry I haven't posted in aggges but my life has been very busy at the moment! Anyway, today I am going to be doing a post on Cornwall! I have been going to Cornwall (Polzeath) every holiday since I was 6. I'm not going to lie to you guys, it is quite a boring place in the non-summer holidays. All the traders are only here in the summer. The traders are people who sit on the beach and sell you good quality stuff. Some of them do Henna Tatoos, Hairbraids and sell little bracelets. Anyway, they aren't here which is annoying. Here are some pictures of the beautiful place! ( and my garden)......(and dog).....






















I have no idea what I have done to the pictures...
I am in Polzeath at the moment!
I'm sorry this has had to be a short one but I am very busy.
see ya later, Alligator!
