Favourites

This Post is going to be about my favourite country I have visited outside of New Zealand. I have been to Australia, Thailand and Singapore.  My favourite was Singapore. Despite the constant heat and snakes! (aaaaaah!)It was my favourite because it was exotic and REALLY fun!  Some of the things we did there were:

  • Go on the night safari. We went on our first night there and didn’t go until 10 o’ clock ( to me it was 3 in the morning!) we saw a bunch of different animal but the tram had to stop for around 10 minutes waiting for a Tapir to move out of the way. We also saw a really cool fire dancer show where the guys ate the fire then blew it back out!
  • We went to Universal Studios ( Not the studio the theme park) and went on dozens of rides my favourite two ride were the Human verses Cylon which was based on Battlestar Galatica. On the Human one you are sitting down in a seat and at the start you go up this really high hill and stop at the top for a moment and go down the other side which is almost completely vertical. You can also reach the speed of around 85 Km per hour. The Cylon rollercoaster is one that you sit dangling from the rails it take upside down in big loops and cork screws. The two Roller Coasters are the highest battling roller coasters in the world.
  • We went to Singapore Zoo there was heaps of animals that  I had never seen before like Orang-utans and Fruit Bats!

If you have never been to Singapore you should go next time you have an over seas holiday!

Hunger-A global Issue

What is a hungry person???

 A hungry person is someone who doesn,t get enough to eat every day and is malnourished. Malnourished means that you are weak and have no energy to do simple things like walking. A malnourished person finds it hard to concentrate and studying drains alll their energy. The average person need atleast 1800 calories a day when someone doesn’t get those calories they are likely to be suffering from Chronic hunger. Their body begins to feed on itself starting with fat, then muscle tissue and finally organs. Death is almost certain when their body gets to the organ stage but lots of starving people die from hunger-related diseases since their body is weak to fight it the body shuts down.

Statistics:

  • 925 million people do not have enough to eat – more than the combined populations of USA, Canada and the European Union;Here is a graph of where the most hungry are in 2010 ( it meansmillion by the way like, 19 million and 239 million)

  • 98 percent of the world’s hungry live in developing countries; (Source: FAO news release, 2010)
  • Asia and the Pacific region is home to over half the world’s population and nearly two thirds of the world’s hungry people; (Source: FAO news release, 2010)
  • Women make up a little over half of the world’s population, but they account for over 60 percent of the world’s hungry. (Source: Strengthening efforts to eradicate hunger…, ECOSOC, 2007)
  • 65 percent of the world’s hungry live in only seven countries: India, China, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan and Ethiopia. (Source: FAO news release, 2010)
