death run


The last cross country ever yasssss  

At first I was really nervous and just wanted to get it over and done with. After the first lap of the field I was actually beginning to enjoy myself! It soon began to get a little harder since I was getting kinda puffed. I just kept on running. During the second lap of the astro turf my legs felt like they were starting to fail me. My knees began to feel unsteady and my thighs and calfs felt like they were burning! As I was running towards behind the steps people were cheering me on and it gave me this extra little bit of power and I started to run a little faster. As I was running towards the finish line all of these people were screaming at me (in a good way) and it made me start to sprint and eventually. . . I finished the cross country!

I definitely think that I showed perseverance during the cross country. All I wanted to do was to lie down and breathe. But I kept on going because I knew I had to and I did not want to get a DNF, did not finish. 

People were supporting me and they were supporting everyone else too. In my perspective, everybody showed Empathy. It was so cool to see other students supporting other students!

I am sooo happy that I never have to do it again

HEYYYY  (so this will be my last blog post)

So last night we came back from Goa. Yesterday we had a swim in the sea it was very dirty as there was a lot of garbage on the beach. There are men on the beach trying to sell you a beach  lounger. It can be very annoying as they just follow you around saying "please please buy this from me mine are better"  but we just put towels down on the sand. There are then more people that come around asking if you want a massage or if you want to bye a top or some gewlery. We didn't get anything.

Then we hoped on a plane to get back to Delhi. And then we ariver do at like 730pm

BYEEEEEE

HELLO

So I am going to talk about the things I don't like and what I  have done in the past 2days

LOW LIGHTS 😭😭
People. there are so many people here! In Delhi there are 18 million people. So in one city there about 4 times as many people in NZ. So it is very easy to get lost and there are a lot of poor people but I will talk about that soon.

Beggars. Beggars are poor people who follow you around asking for money and they just stand there and stare at you. But you should never give money otherwise more poor people will want money from you. It is very sad. There also beggars at the traffic lights who come and knock on your window asking for money. And there are 2 year olds out on the streets trying to get money so they can eat! In the whole of India there are 78millon homeless people and 11 million are kids.


Spicy food. You wouldn't think that all the food here is spicy but you're wrong - all of it is. I am to scared to try McDonald's here because that will be spicy to! I have just been living on sushi and fries as they are not spicy. Mum asked for spicy on our first day thinking it would be kiwi spicy but noooo her mouth nearly burnt off.

Smell
 The smell is sooooo BAD this is because there is rubbish everywhere and people just go number 2 on the side of the road 😷😷  and there and cows walking on the street as well and they poo everywhere



Yesterday I rode a camel and and elephant that was really cool the camel was really painful becouse it was very bonie.

Namaste from INDIA 

In the past 4 days we have done quite a bit. Here are some of my highlights so far:
Rickshaw ride. There are millions of them everywhere. You  catch 
them just like a Taxi. The first ride can be a bit scary as the Indian traffic is crazy. Every one uses there horns all the time and it is really noisey.

Animals on the streets. So far we have seen a lot of animals walking free range on the busy roads. We have seen cows, goats,  camels, dog, pigs, monkeys, horse and donkeys. They are much skinnier then the animals at home. 


Taj Mahal. This is one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. 
It is made of marble and it has precious stones inlaid in to the 
marble. When we visited There where thousands of people and it was 42 degrees.

Good bye more tomorrow
