Slumdog Millionaire

The movie is about a young boy, named Jamal, who wins a tv-show called "Would you like to be a millionaire?".
I think this was a great movie. The music, the screenplay and the characters created a fantastic movie. I especially liked the way they brought out the poverty of India. I think it is good that they used an issue like that, combined with love and hate. They chose a non- typical theme for the movie.

I also liked that the movie was a bit different from other movies. Other than that the movie was great, the acters did a great job as well. I think Dev Patel used his character very well. He managed to show us who watched the movie, which person Jamal was. Jamal was a very shy person, honest and brave. Jamal could do anything for his only love Latika, and that touched us viewers very much. I think Salim, was a very good character too.

Perth. 09.10.09

I arrived at the airport around 09.00 a.m. I was too exited to go to bed, so I just went to the hotel, ate som food and got out a map and a compass. I wanted to explore the city on my own this time, not with some guide bus.





















Originally Perth was located for the safe inland position during colonial times. The area around the city, had extreme meaning for the Aborigines.





























I went to see kings park and botanic gardens. That is made up of 400 hectares of parkland and gardens and is Perth's most popular tourist attraction. It is located just outside the city centre. And the park has breathtaking views over the city and swan river.































I was done with the park, and thought about seeing some historic attractions. Like the barracks, that were used to hous enrolled penisoner guards and their familys in the mid late 1800s. It was really exciting!

Perth was beautiful, and autumn in Perth is just like an extension of summer :)

I really enjoyed my Australia trip, and will always remember the beautiful things I have explored :)

Canberra. 08.10.09

I arrived at Canberra international airport, five a.m. I was driven directly to the hotel, where I fell asleep five minutes after I came in the door. I used the morning to eat a special breakfast on my porch. For breakfast I was served fish with rice. Dinner for breakfast!

I was thinking about a trip to Canberra nature park, National museum of Australia and Captain Cook memorial jet. The nature park trip went into the bush. I spotted kangoroos, koalas and many, many bugs.... All in all it was a beautiful park!

I took the bus into the city, and stopped for some food. I asked about a dish that could be made quickly, and then I was thrown something they called a "wendy's" in my hands. It was quiet in Canberra, beautiful, magnificent! And a trip to Captain Cook memorial Jet made it all better. It looked like a fake geysir, a water stream that splashed up into the air. Very beautiful too look at. The jet can reach up to 147 meters, quite amazing. The jet was invented by Queen Elizabeth the second i 1970.

I took the bus into the city, again, and it was time for the National museum of Australia. It was absolutlig BRILLIANT! It was the masterpiece of masterpiece all over! The museum itself was very interessting, and when the dark came along, it let a dark "carpet" over the museum.

The evening came on, and I went into the dining room for a last meal in beautiful Canberra. I ate a excellent squid.

The day afterwards I was going to take the trip to Perth!

Hobart. 07.10.09!

It took a very long time travelling to Australia. Over ten hours! I finally got to the airport, sat down and waited for my luggage. I can remember how warm Hobart was, compared to Norway. Even thou it was autumn, there where 34 degrees in the air. But the cold wind made it a bit better.






























Hobart is the capital of the Australian island, Tasmania. Tasmania was founded in 1803, as a penal colony. A penal colony is a settlement used back in the old days, to exile prisoners from the population. Hobart is one of the oldest capitals in Australia, after Sydney. It's always very warm here in Hobart, they rarely get snow in the winter. Imagine that! Christmas without snow can't be a good thing.



I decided to start my day, by taking a trip to Hobart's Port Arthur historic site. That has been Tasmania's most visited tourist attraction for the past several years. On Port Arthur historic site you can tour the ruins of the penal settlement. They say that there are ghosts touring there at night!



























It was very interessting visiting Port Arthur, but I was so tired when I got back from the trip so I took a shopping trip at a mall before I went strait to bed.



I went to bed after an amazing day!
