The Fish Touching Museum

Today we learned about what kids our age in other countries think about America. First of all, they think of all Americans as overweight, saying everything is big in the U.S. They weren't trying to offend us by saying that, we were just curious about other countries views on us. They also think Bush is a dumbass which most people in America would agree with, but they thought Obama was a good president. I guess theres New Zealand trooops in Iraq because of a war we started. Those were just a couple of things I thought were interesting, I was also surprised that people in New Zealand would keep up with American politics but mom said it was because our decisions affect other countries like the troops from New Zealand in Iraq. They also asked about religion and other deep topics that I was surprised they'd ask us about after meeting us only a couple hours earlier. It was also pretty random like, Are you Christian? They were still fun to hang out with, we built a dirt jump and were taking mountain bike's off it. When mom and dad got home we ate and headed for the touching aquarium where the rules are that you can touch anything you can reach which was really fun. My favorite thing to touch was the Manta Ray because it was kinda slimy even though it's basically a type of shark. Most sharks skin is rough and dry so me and dad were both surprised. We were also able to touch fish, eels, turtles, etc. We were planning on playing tennis after that but all the tennis balls they had at the store were crappy. Me and dad went for a run at Rabbit Island while the girls sat on the beach and made a sand castle. Tomorrow we plan on hiking at the National Park we visited, we were planning on hiking it then but it was raining.
