<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">My
sister and I went to Japan for almost two weeks during our december break. We
went to stay with our uncle who is working as an engineer there. We took the
Air Asia flight with our aunt and her children. Staying there was really
nice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">For
the first few days there, my uncle showed us how to go around using puclic
transport. We noted most directions in our heads. Then, one of the almost 14
days there, my sister and I decided to go around touring solo. So we walked out
the house a bit early and hopped on the bus and get to the train station.
Beforehand, I've downloaded a Japanese dictionary to find words to comunicate
with locals. It is a fact that NONE of japanese people spoke english and
EVERYTHING was totaly in japanese. Our uncle also provided us with a simcard
that allows internet connection just for the sake of being able to stay in
touch.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Pendant
quelques premiers jours là-bas, notre oncle nous a montré les façons d’utiliser
le transport en commun. On les a notés dans nos cerveaux. Il y avait un jour qu’on
a fait le voyage sans la présence de notre oncle et tante. On a commencé la
journée un peu tôt que d’habitude et a pris le bus pour aller à la gare. Avant
tout ça, j’avais téléchargé un dictionnaire japonais dans mon portable. C’est
un fait qu’il y avait personne qui parlait anglais et tous est totalement en
japonais. D’ailleurs, notre oncle nous avait acheté une carte de SIM avec la
connexion d’Internet.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">We
brave girls managed to get ourselves lost when we were using the train lineway.
What do you expect? Japan has the most railway lines in the world. We even
tried contacted our dear uncle but he only responded once. So, we just took any
train that we believed are right to get to Asakusa. And we accidently took the
express train and we actually went straight to another place!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="FR" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Malheureusement,
on avait la difficulté de trouver le vrai train. Il était évident que le Japon
avait le plus nombreux de chemins de fer du monde. Donc, on a pris tous les
trains qu’on croyait voulaient aller à Asakusa. En résultat, c’était le train
express et notre destination a devenue plus loin qu’Asakusa.</span><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Luckily,
we realized our mistake and we talked to an English foreigner who helped us by writing
down the names of the stations to get to Asakusa. After that, we finally took
the right train and get to Asakusa, the place to shop! Alhamdulillah, even when
we were lost, we were still calm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

résoudre à ce problème, on a communiqué avec un autre étranger qui a écrit les
noms de vraies stations pour aller à Asakusa. Avec son aide, on a réussi d’y
aller. Pour nous, cette expérience était bien parce que nous étions toujours
calmes même si on était perdu. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #274e13; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt;">When I
was 17, I represented Convent Kajang (my school) and also Malaysia to go to a
Red Cross/ Red Crescent Camp which was held in Xanten, Germany. I went there
with other students who came from other schools. I was the only one from my
school. During the flight to Germany, most of our group were placed closed to
each other. But I was placed in a seat quite far from my pals. But I was calm
as I was seated next to this beautiful and kind woman who became my friend. She
was in her early twenty. We chatted about many things. I was really grateful
and happy. Before parted, we managed to snap a picture together.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Convent Kajang) et aussi la Malaisie d’aller en Allemagne pour un camp de
Croissant Rouge. J’y suis allée avec des étudiants qui venaient d’autres
écoles. J’étais la seule qui venait de Convent. Pendant la journée à Xanten,
plupart d’entre nous ont été placés près de l’autre. Mais, j’ai eu la
chance d’avoir un siège qui était assez loin. Heureusement, la femme qui était
assis à côté de moi était gentille. On a parlé de pleins de choses. J’étais très
heureuse. Avant de quitter l’avion, on a pris une photo ensemble.</span><span lang="FR" style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-ansi-language: FR;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">After the camp, we were touring
around germany for a few days. During a bas trip around Xanten city, I sat
beside an old friendly man. I chatted with him. (<s>Sorry, didn't managed
to take a photo of him</s>). He said that he was with his wife but she
chose the last row of the seats. (We were in the middle). Even though he could
not talk in english that well, we used hand gesture well in explaining things
to each other. In the end of the trip, he handed me 10 euros. I was shocked. I
said thanks and greeted his wife. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Pendant un voyage en bus autour de la ville de Xanten, je me suis assis à côté
d’un vieil homme. Comme d’habitude, j’ai commencé de communiquer avec lui. Il
m’a dit que sa femme avait choisi de s’asseoir loin de lui. Même si il ne
pouvait pas dire des mots anglais bien, on a utilisé la geste de la main. À la
fin du voyage, il m’a donné 10 euros. J’étais choquée. Je lui ai dit merci et
aussi et j’ai dit bonjour à sa femme. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

My family and I went to China for a week from 22 to 28 december. We went to the
Beijing Snow World Ski Resort. Skiing was really fun. It is easier than
ice-skating. I've managed to fall for three times out of my two times skiing
down from the top. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So
basically, you need to wear extra thick clothings but you won't feel cold when
you started skiing. For those of you who would like to come to this Ski Resort,
you'll need to keep in mind that there will be a lot of
"ski-teachers" who will asked you "Do you want me to teach you
to ski?". My advice, DON'T. They will charge you dearly. One hour of
learning is 200 RMB which is about RM121.20. My guide also told me that
sometimes they will trick you to use the escalator to go up the hill and when
you can't get down, they will force you to pay to teach you to get down. Trust
me, just be confidence. It's okay to fall because when you fall, you'll learn
better.</span></span></div>

semaine du 22 jusqu’à 28 décembre. On est allé à une station de ski de Pékin.
Je préfère faire du ski plutôt que faire du patinage. C’était plus formidable. En
fait, vous devez porter des vêtements épais mais après vous ne serez pas sentir la
froid quand vous skiez. Si vous voulez faire du ski là, il est vraiment
important que vous savez qu’il y aura pleins de « professeurs du ski »
qui vous demanderont si vous voulez apprendre comment skier. Mon conseil,
dites-vous NON. Le prix d’apprentissage est tellement cher. Une heure de leçon
vous en coûtera 200 RMB (RM121.20). Mon guide touristique m’avait dit que
parfois, ils vont vous demander de prendre l’escalator pour monter la colline
et quand vous avez de la difficulté de descendez, il faut que vous les payiez. N’ayez
pas peur mes amis. Quand vous faites des erreurs, vous apprenez mieux. </span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
