Today we had a person come to camp and she talked about bullying. I did not enjoy it. Some of the kids might have but personally I thought it was boring. I did enjoy the part where we wrote nice things about each other. I learned about all the different kinds of bullying. I did not like the part where we had to right our personal experiences.

It has an up/down environment. Asians eat lots of: rice, vegetables, but they eat less meat and dairy products then we Americans do. Instead they eat tofu, kimchee, and ramen. The president of Asia is Tony Tan. Here are some fun facts about Asia:
1. Asia is the largest continent by landmass and human population. The area of Asia is larger than the land area of the moon. (44.6K sq. km – 37k sq. km respectively.)
2. Asia has a population of over 4 billion people or better than 60% of the world’s population. This many people standing side by side holding hands would reach around the world at the equator more than 100 times.
3. More than half of Asia’s population is in two countries in Asia – China (1.3 billion) and India (1.1 billion). India is estimated to take over China in about 20 years or so.

In Bocce Ball you have 8 balls 2 red, 2 green, 2 yellow, 2 blue and a point ball. You start by a team throwing the point ball. Then after you throw your team colored ball you try to get closest to the point ball. You can also hit another teams ball. I liked bocce ball although it was hard cause you could not see the point ball because the grass was to high.
We made pasta/ ravioli. To make this pasta you need flour, water, salt, eggs and then you just combine it together. The pasta was good we made a chicken, spinach, and onion filling.

1. My favorite thing to cook was the lasagna, my favorite thing that we ate was Australian meat pie.
2. In the game “ Down, Down, Down” you stand in a circle and toss around a small ball, but every time you drop the ball you have to first kneel on one leg, then kneel on the second, kneel on an elbow, then the other elbow and then your chin. After you have to get on your chin you are out. The last person not on their chin wins.
3. In the game “Kai you toss around a ball (in our case a beach ball) You start out in a small circle. The object of the game is to keep the ball in the air as long as you can.
