Amazing Race Entry 3
Hey it's Redmango! The next location that I am going to is the Tibetan Plateau. It is located in Asia in the Yunnan Province. The capital is Kunming. It is bordered by Tibet, Sichuan, Guizhou Province, Burma and Dien Bien Province. This country isn't bordered by any water. The coordinates for Kunming are Latitude: 25° 2' 20 N, Longitude: 102° 43' 6 E. Kunming has little change in temperature throughout the year. The temperature ranges between 15 degrees C regularly and through the winter it is about 7.5 degrees C. Also in the Urban areas it can get up to about 19.7 degrees C. The Tibetan Plateau is the often called the "Roof Of The World." This plateau has high elevations it has the highest elevation in Earth History. The Eastern part of this plateau is filled with deep forested valleys and high mountain ranges. Important history is that during world war II the plateau played a crucial role by preventing the Japanese from taking control. The distance between Western Australia and Kunming, Asia I am not able to find. We are going to go by plane but I can't find any prices.

Hey it's Redmango! I am going to visit the Western Plateau in Australia. It is located in Western Australia. The capital of Western Australia is Perth. South Australia and the Northern Territory border Western Australia. Also the Indian Ocean borders that side of Australia. The coordinates are 27° S, 144° E. Rain seldom falls in this region and aside from the permanent waterholes. The average rainfall varies in different areas. The average amount is between 100-350. It has the largest drainage system and is composed of the remains of the ancient rock shield. The Western Plateau covers two thirds of Australia. In Western Australia there has been many earthquakes that have been known to occur since 1824 when the European Settles arrived. The last earthquake that has happened in Western Australia was in 2001.

Hi my name is Redmango. I am 18 years old. I am going to travel across the world to find as many Plateaus as I can. I am going because I was doing some research on plateaus and they seemed very interesting to me. I am excited to go on my trip. Well I'll miss my family so they will probably miss me but they are excited for me as well because this will be a very fun experience for me.

Entry 5
Today is way different then the time that my character Eislek Butcher lived in. For one thing when a mayor is getting married he would have a private wedding. The government is different because 12 year olds can't work in a store like they could in my characters life. It's different with family because normally a 36 year old and her twin 39 year old siblings don't live together when they are that age.

Entry 4
Yesterday was so fun! The mayor got married to his true love. We all got to mingle with each other before the wedding and after. The ceremony was nice and then it came time for the reception. Everyone in our town was invited. We all danced and had a great time. Everyone got to meet up with each other when they normally couldn't because we were all working. But we all got the day off because it was the mayor that was getting married. The whole town had fun!

Entry 3
The only people I really interact with in my community is my family. But when we try to get the neighborhood kids to have fun we sometimes talk with their parents. Normally for breakfast I eat eggs from our chickens and milk, during lunch it is normally meat and some veggies from our garden and at dinner time it is rarely anything other then meat, veggies, fruit, milk and a little sweets for dessert. My family and I live in a village that has lots of hills and trees. We have some meadows but not many. We have a river behind our house that is where we normally get our drinking water but we have to boil the water to make sure that it is clean.

Entry 2
Our government is Republic. One of the laws that I agree with is that you have to be 12 years old to have a job. One that I disagree with is kids can't go to school until they become 14 because they are going to go to work instead of going to school. My family and I are Christians. There has been a few arguments because some of the mothers in our town want their children to start school at the age of 10.
