Taiwan
By: Sammy
As most of you know, I have been to Taiwan recently. The time there is different from the U.S. time. The time at Taiwan is nine hours before U.S. time. Do you know why? The reason why Taiwan is nine hours before U.S. time is because that it has a different time zone. For example, if it's 2:00 at night in Taiwan, people in the U.S. are eating lunch! If in Taiwan it is 11:00 in the morning, it is 8:00 in the afternoon for U.S. people. Have you ever been to a place out of California that had a different time zone? If so, how much hours was that time ahead or before U.S. time? Why do we have time zones?
October Break
By: Anika
This October Break was fun and relaxing. For the first week on Monday I was home with my mom and playing with my goldfish. From Tuesday to Thursday I had a friend come over to my house and either we played shopping, board games, or restaurant with real food and water. Next, on Saturday I went to my friends house who sadly was going to India for good on that Monday. On Sunday we went to my friends house again to say goodbye and we stayed home. Then Monday through Friday Me and my mother were cleaning the house for a festival that was coming up called Diwali that is the festival of lights. During those two relaxing and fun weeks was a festival called Navratri. Navratri is a festival where my parents were fasting for nine days but only eating sweet potato with milk and my brother and I only eat vegetarian and we have to eat a special type of salt. This October break was fun and such a relaxing time. What did you do in your October break? What did you like the most and why did you like it?
