Jorn Utzon designed the Sydney Opera house in1973. The Sydney Opera house is an amazing buiding. During the race we came across a fast forward. Krysta and me got the fast forward! well Krysta did. We had to complete a puzzle in a time under 2 minutes. http://www.yourchildlearns.com/mappuzzle/seasia-puzzle.html <--- the fast forwared. Thanks to that fast forward we got to qestion 10. We went to the hotel called "The Park Hyatt"                                                                                                   

OMG The Best Race Ever In The Best Country Ever!!!!!!!!!

Hey it's Krysta.
Today we had to fly from Tokyo Japan to Sydney Australia. It was the best race ever because I am a major Australia freak so i knew almost all the answers of by heart. First we had to go to the Sydney Opera House and figure out who designed it and what year it was finished. We figured out Quiet quickly that Jorn Utzon is the architect who built this building and he finished it in 1973. Then we had to go online and complete "The Puzzle Of Australia And South East Asia" We were the first team to complete this puzzle so we got a Fast forward taking us from #3 all the way up to the last station which is #10. We finished the race while some people were still on 4. All i can say is i don't think we are getting eliminated anytime soon.

Japan

Hey its Krysta,
Last week we were in Norway but this time we had to fly to Tokyo Japan. To be honest Japans my favourite country because of all of the cool things there like mount Fuji but my favourite ting of all is anime. Speaking of mount Fuji, Riley and I had to go there straight after we arrived in Japan. There was many sightseers there and we also got to climb it. I think the most interesting thing for me is when we went to the imperial palace. The most fun thing for me though is when we went sumo wrestling. Did you know that to win a match u either have to knock a person down or out of the ring. A match usually lasts around a minute as well. Have you ever wondered hoe to tell who the best sumo wrestlers are? Well you can tell by the ropes around their waists.Later we went to the Osaragi Jiro Memorial Museum. When the day was almost done we had to figure out the name of a poisonous fish eaten in japan which was a puffer fish. Before stopping at the Peninsula Hotel, we decided to go get something to eat first so we went and got sushi. I think this has been my favourite race yet.

Ya man.

Hey it's Krysta
me and my older sister had to fly from London England to Norway Sweden. we kept poking the guys head who was sitting in front of us. When we first arrived we went reindeer racing but first we had to figure out all the supplies that we needed. before we could race we had to draw a detailed picture of everything that we found.later we had to figure out what the fjord was. turns out it is a long narrow river.it looks really cool. Also I'm sure everybody reading this has heard of a troll eh? Did you know that the towns of Trollveggen, Trollhatten, and Trollheimen are all named after a troll. who would name a town after a troll anyways? it weird what people come up with these days. then we had to do a biathlon which is a sport that consists of 2 parts. these 2 parts are cross country skiing and rifle shooting. 2 of my favourite things. once we were almost done the race we had to travel on a snowmobile to the capital of Sweden which is Stockholm.I almost made Riley fall off. Finally we stayed at the famous ice hotel in jukkasjarvi Sweden. I was cool to see what you can do with ice. talk to you next time.bye for now.
