The place I am visiting this week is Argentina. Its in South America. Central America borders this continent. The capital of Argentina is Buenos. The country that border that country are Brazil, Chile and Uruguay. The GPS coordinatess of this place are 34º 00´,64º 00´. The climate is hot and wet. The terrian is flat almost everywhere. People here tend to wear alot of leather, i wonder why. It is important because it is that habitat of many of tropical animals. It is 4372 miles from to Argentina. I got to Argentina via commercial jet and a Cruise Ship. It cost $900 to get there. Its about 7774 miles from here back to Stockholm. My family missed me but they thought it was a great expierence.

Today i am in the capital of Sweden, which is Stockholm. Finland, Norway, Baltic Sea and The Sea of Bothnia border Sweden. The GPS coordinates of this location is 59°21′N 18°04′E. It was pretty warm and nice here in the summer. The place is a big flat archipelago. This place is really important because it is the capital of Sweden. Stockholm is probably about 5100 miles from Bangkok, Thailand, so it was sort of a long trip on a commercial jet to get here. IT cost me around $1100 to get here. And guess what, I almost lost my carry on today! The biggest difference from Bangkok and Stockholm was the climate.

This week i went to Bangkok! Holy cow it was such a long plane ride there. Bangkok is in Thailand, if you didnt know, and Bangkok is acutally the capital of Thailand. Some bordering countries are China, Burma, Mongolia, etc. The Indian ocean Borders Thailand. The GPS coordinates of this location are 13° 45′ 0″ N, 100° 29′ 0″ E. The place was hot, tropical, and dry, and was really flat. This place is important because its the capital of Thailand. Its probably 6000 miles from my last location, and I took AirFrance to get there. I got a 6 hour layover, so at least i could streach and get something to eat. This whole trip cost me $5308! I think these trips are pretty cool.

This week i went to South Africa! I landed down in Cape Town Intl. Airport. The capital of this place is Pretoria. Botswana, Zimbabwe, and other countries border South Africa. The place was a HUGE change from Antarctica. Freezing cold and windy to hot and dry. It was nice in shorts and a T-shirts. The Atlantic and Indian ocean border the country. The place was pretty flat and I saw Zebras and giraffes! I think this location is important because it is the home to many animals. The GPS coordinates are 5° 44′ 42″ S, 28° 11′ 25″ E if you ever plan on going here. Its probably 5000 miles from my last place. I used a commercial plane to get here, and it cost around $600. Lucky for me i had no problems getting there.

This week I went to Antartica. Yeah, that was probably one of the stupidest things I've ever done. Nothing like stepping in fresh penguin doo-doo. I went to Palmer Peninsula. Antartica is the most desolate place I've seen. Nothing borders Antartica, and theirs no goverment, no capital, nothing but melting ice. And I'm surrounded by water, too. The GPS coordinates are: 69° 30′ 0″ S, 65° 0′ 0″ W, if you ever want to come here sometime. Just have to find a crazy pilot. I know the climate is probably obvois, but its cold (duh), dry, REALLY windy, and icy. I bet this place is really old, because it was part of Pangea. The only thing I think Antartica is good for is housing for penguins. This is from almost the top of the world to the bottom! I had to hire some guy to fly me here, since their isnt any commercial planes that fly here. i payed him around $300.

Ughhh... That wasn't a fun trip. I went to Yamel Peninsula in North Russia. It was freezing there! It was a super long flight too. At least I had a 7 hour lay over in Moscow, which is the capital of Russia. It was interesting flying over Ukraine, which was pretty big too. Ukraine borders Russia so we flew over it. I foudn out that the coordinates of the place is 70° 40′ 15.17″ N, 70° 8′ 12.19″ E. It was pretty cold there. The ground must of been frozen for years! I also found out that the place is pretty young, only about 10 thousand years old. The place was all flat and kinda desolate. The people there were obsessed with reindeer. I don't plan on coming back here any time soon.
