For the December Break we went to Mumbai and Goa. Mumbai is India's second biggest city. Goa is my hometown and it's a 45 minute flight from Mumbai, you can aslo go to Goa by train. Goa is a wonderful place and is full with beaches and a little bit of rice paddies, just like Bali! Except Goa is less devoloped and their beaches are dirty. I didn't really want to swim in the sea, just looking at it made me vomit.
In Mumbai we had to attend my dad's cousin's wedding. I had to wear a suit for the first time in my life. My dad said that I looked like a buisness man!!!! Anyway, we celebrated Christmas with a special mass at my dad's school and his classmate was the priest!!! It was a very special christmas for my dad and me, because I got an I pod Touch for Christmas!!!!!!!! Yipeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
We celebrated New Years by going for a midnight mass. The New Year was a special day for my mom and dad because it was their wedding anniversary and it was my mom's birthday too!!!!
We had to go to 3 family reunions during my trip to India. 2 from my dad's side and one from my mom's side. Next I got to visit my grandparents from my mom's side personally because I had to do a school project where I had to interview my grandma.
Finally we had to go back home to Jakarta, it was a long flight,but it felt nice being back in Jakarta again, away from the hustle and bustle in Mumbai.

Celbrating Christmas in India was special for my dad, because the priest who was celebrating the mass was my dad's class mate and the fact that the mass was located at my dad's school. It was a special Christmas for my dad, but not so much for me. I knew the next day I would get get my christmas present which was an i-pod touch!!!!

- 3 idiots
Avatar
Avatar was a movie I watched in 3D!!! It was basically about a person named Jake who is a soldier who is in a future army trying to destroy the heart of Pandora. Pandora is a place where these creatures live. These creatures are called the "navies" and they look simillar to us, humans. The Commander of the army tells Jake to close his eyes, then they put him into a machine and it transforms him into one of the Navies. He had to transform into one of the Navies so he can tell all the Navies to evacuate from where they are living. Jake told them this, because the army wants to attack their tree where they live. In the end Jake wants to be one of the Navies for good. Finally since the army shot down their tree where the Navies live. Jake had decided to fight back and the Navies won the battle.
Avatar is made by the director of Titanic, his name is James Cameron. Avatar has been the most expensive movie in the history of all movies. The cost to make this movie is.......... DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!
200,000,000$$$$
3 idiots
3 idiots is a Hindhi film, which is actually based on a true story, when the father forces his son what to take up for college. Here the father forces his son to take up engineerig, but he's actually the class clown. While his two other friends were about to get expelled from the engineering college because of him. In the end he runs his own school, which is located far away from the cars,the noise and the pollution.
The main actor is Amir Kahn. And I think this is a "must watch movie" so as Avatar.
Celebrating Christmas
Celebrating the New Year
We celebrated the new year in Mumbai by going to church, then we went to a high end restraunt called "Salt and Water". It was a special day for my mom and dad, because it was not just only the New Year, it was my mom's birthday and it was my parents wedding anniversary too!
Visiting Family
The reason we came to India, because we could visit relatives and family. I had to go for two family reunions, two from my dad's side and one from my mom's side. Also I visited my grandparents with my mom. The Reason I had to visit my grandparents personally, is because I had to interview my grandma for my English and Social Studies project. Not only that I video taped the interview.
In the end it was a really nice holiday!!!

His name is Henry von Falkenberg, but he is called The Falcon. His memorial had a special device to scan only one barcode which was the barcode on the box of candy. This device opens a vault stored in his grave where all his diamonds are located. When Nick scanned the barcode under the device in his grave, the container was empty and there were no diamonds.
Later Nick got a letter from a person he met in a bar when the Diamond brothers with were looking for clues. Her name was Lauren Bacardi. There was a small package under the letter, it was a diamond which was the size of a peanut.
