I've been practising Korean like crazy! On my runs I've been saying 'I like trees' in korean over and over again! I've also been going on korean sites and practising sounding out letters and words which I'm getting better at, I just don't know what the words mean yet, but that'll come later, if I know how to sound out words then reading will come easier I think. It's quite fun I have to admit.
Playing, hang gliding and paragliding is so much fun! That's what I've been doing lately. Traction kiting is quite fun too, like flying a massive kite that can pull you across a field :) Remember that song from Mary Poppins Let's go Fly a Kite, up to the highest height, let's go fly a kite and send it soaring!! Up through the atmopshere, up where the air is clean oh let's go...fly a kite!! I was singing that song in my head the whole time! Hang-gliding I think was my favourite, ever since I saw Fly Away Home I've always wanted to try it and now I have and I love it. However, I think the motorised ones would be lots of fun to fly too!
Anyway, I've been thinking over my trip and I think there may be some changes, some length of stay changes but I mean, that's bound to change quite a bit over this 2 year wait!

Why Travelling is the bestest :)
Traveling has been one of my favourite things to do. I'll start in Canada,
British Colombia-pretty much everywhere- it's soo beautiful there! Gorgeous and cute, so much green and abundance!
Toronto-I went to Niagara Falls and rode on the Maid of The Mist. Very wet and...misty! The falls are very large, much larger than I had imagined! Unfortunately, when I went it was rainy and kind of miserable but the falls did not loose their magnificence!
I've never set foot in the United States (i don't think that 5 hours in the LA airport counts...), I've been to Auckland, New Zealand-LOVELY!! I've only been on the North Island, and it was very green there too! Cloudy most days because I went in the winter, but overall very gorgeous! I visited Hell's Gate which is the most active geothermal field in the Rotorua area. It was very cool!! I went up the Sky Tower and watched people sky dive off of the top which made me frightened just watching other people do it! *eeek!* I visited Russell Kororareka and the Bay of Islands which was the most beautiful place I've ever seen!! IT WAS SOO PRETTY! Where else...Waitangi treaty grounds was very cool too, beautiful and very insightful! The Coromandel was also very very beautiful! If I go back there, I must visit the coromandel again!
Melbourne Australia- did the main touristy things like riding Puffing Billy (Australia's Favourite Steam Train, whom I think I love more than Thomas the Tank Engine!!) Visiting Philip Island, Healsville Sanctuary, Sorrento <3.
Lille and Paris in France, ahh! Paris! Beautiful!! Just as gorgeous as they say! La tour Eiffel! Versailles! Mont Saint Michel is absolutely my favourite castle in the whole world, well, tied with Hogwarts anyway. Versailles was spectacular and incredibly shiny. The Gardens were wonderful, oh my, there is way to much. I think that you should just do all the touristy things wherever you go :) Sightseeing is one of my favourite things to do while traveling, plus because I'm a camper I see lots and lots of things everywhere I go!
When I travel to Japan, Korea, India and Greece I can't wait to visit all the historical sights and see all the lovely scenery...!! Oh la la! I can't wait to go hiking too....OH I"m SO EXCITED! Too bad I have to wait so long...

A little bit about me...
Hello everyone!
I'm Heidi and I have a dream to travel to Japan, Korea, India and Greece. But before any of this can happen I still have to do some things. I have two years before planning to embark, I'm going to learn Korean, Japanese and Sign Language in these two years....I hope. Why? I've always been fascinated by Japanese and Korean culture, history and language. India, I want to volunteer my time for 4 months, I'm not sure what I'll be doing yet, either working in an orphanage or I heard of this program where you teach refugee tibetan nuns english! How cool is that? SAVE TIBET!! I love Tibet, Tibetan culture...everything! I don't think anyone has the right to destroy another culture at all! And finally, Greece because it looks soo beautiful...I want to go island-hopping, plus I love greek mythology so there!
I love Korean and Japanese dramas, which I am totally addicted too. (I guess, that's not too good...) Such as Sungkyunkwan Scandal, you're Beautiful...etc, etc <3 <3 I love asian music too. (DBSK, Jang Geun Suk, JYJ, Super Junior....and many more!)
That's probably enough to be getting on with for now!
Thank you!
Heidi
