Public holiday Labour day / Rainbows End Amusement Park
I know that there were many interesting rides in the
rainbows end amusement park that I would like to talk
about I will start off with the invaders. It is a very scary ride
that is like a double Viking boat that could spin its self 360
degrees. The next is the 3d animated graphic ride. Its a
moving seat and its really cool. The third is the gold rush. It
was not so cool but its a little scary because there is an old
prospector guy that was sitting on a fully loaded gold cart.
And the last thing I am going to talk about is the bumper
boat. It was faster than the Thai forms and it was a bitwetter too. Today we had a lot of fun and by the time we
went home we went up stairs and take a nap.

the security check again. We entered the baggage claim
then I found out that my bag belt had been gone so I asked
my group leader what happened to my bag. She said that it
might be opened at Singapore. I lost the bag belt but that

things inside. Luckily, they were still in there. Then I went
out to find my father then went home.
