My summer break india/nepal trip part 1

June 24th and 25th 2023 Traveling

 

On the day we left we had to wake up at 3:00. We bought an uberXL to fit our 4 suitcases and 3 carry-on 

bags. Once we arrived at the airport we checked in with Delta. We would be taking Delta to New York. 

After we finished checking in we took a bus to a different terminal.Then we boarded the flight to New York 

on an airbus. We landed in New York and after four hours boarded an Air India Boeing 777 to reach Delhi. 


To me my Air India experience was unpleasant in multiple ways. First my TV did not work and was the 

same with many others. Then once my dad and I switched seats because he did not care about the TV 

working although he got it to work later and said i could have it I discovered that there were barely any 

movies for kids to watch. To make matters worse a kid kicked the back of my seat almost the whole flight 

making it hard to relax. Also on the flight we met an Air India employee and she said she would talk to Air 

India about the flight quality.


The next day we landed in Delhi and took our final flight on an Air India airbus to Kathmandu. When we 

landed we met the Botsplash team in the airport itself. We went to Shaligram hotel and happened to see 

monkeys. Then we ate momo’s and drank lime soda. After we finished drinking we decided to go out to 

dinner. For dinner I ate an egg thali. A thali is a platter with rice and different small items of food. After we 

ate we started feeling a bit tired from the travel and so we said bye and returned to the hotel and fell 

asleep immediately.

       On Friday after the power went out, making our whole neighborhood suddenly dark, my parents decided to go to their  work to get internet. Having nothing better to do other than read but it was too dark I decided to listen to music and  an audiobook, while looking out of the window with my only source of light being a small flashlight. However before  my father, left he boiled water and put it In a thermos so I could make ramen later,      Because I had nothing to do I used the hall to practice volleyball. At times there was enough sunlight to read by a  window or do a diamond dots sticky puzzle. When I got bored I would see if anything had happened outside by  going into my room and looking at the window which overlooked our front yard. Since I didn’t want to waste the  battery from the flashlight I tried to stay near a window as a source of light as much as possible. For dinner we went  to Red bowl and I got s...

My expirence at the Whitewater Center Rock Ride Paddle camp

Image
  The Whitewater camp called Rock, Ride, Paddle is a one week long camp in which you do various activities throughout the week. Some of the activities include whitewater kayaking, rock climbing, and mountain biking. There are other camps like Adventure camp but they are not focused on certain activities. Below are the activities we did and how each of them were. Whitewater Kayaking Whitewater kayaking is when you ride rapids and learn how to control a kayak. The first thing you learn is  how to put on the gear and after that you learn how to wet exit if you flip over. After that you get in the  water and practice. We were supposed to kayak for around 2 hrs per day but the first day that we were  supposed to kayak they were testing the water and didn't want people in the water. So on the second day  we spent 4 hours kayaking to make up for the time we missed. On the second day we first swam some of  the rapids to understand how they flowed. Then we rode the ...

Why we shouldn't give participation trophies

            The tradition of giving participation trophies started in 1922 when a basketball team in Ohio gave its players the trophies. They give kids participation trophies to make them feel good about playing the sport. The trophies are usually awarded to the players that don't score high. However, participation trophies are not only awarded to kids they are also given to older age groups and for other activities not just Basketball. Then, an author for a newspaper named Victor Martinez started talking about participation trophies being bad for kids, in 1998.  Unlike many kids that like receiving participation awards because it makes them feel special I feel that they produced an effect that makes kids feel overconfident and when they fall it is worse.  I play a lot of sports and when I get a trophy when my team or myself get a trophy for doing nothing, it feels unfair. To me getting a participation trophy is like getting a participati...
