Karate Tournament

Last week on Sunday, March 21, I went to a Karate tournament. Part of it was good and part of it I didn't like. There were many people in every age group so they gave awards to 1st to 3rd place. I won first place in strongest kick. I thought I would actually win in strongest punch, which was another event, instead. I didn't win anything else. I didn't like the instructors and the rest of the tournament because they were unfair. Like my friend when he went there once he did the sparring (fighting) event. He was I think was a purple belt or probably higher. They made him face a brown belt, which is close to black. My friend would have won him but the sensei's were unfair to him.

African American History Museum

On October 27 I went to an african american museum. It wasn't too good though. I didn't learn too much. After that I went to the science center and I saw the air and space exhibit. I saw the apollo 11 ship. I also saw a model of a astronaut's suit. They said that it weighed 180 lbs. on Earth.

Disney Concert Hall

Yesterday, Saturday, December 26 I took a free tour of the building and some of the auditoriums of Disney Concert Hall. It was built by Frank Gehry. I got to see many parts of the building and I also got to see the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion again. I also got to see the founder's room of the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion. They had three giant chandliers. The place where the chandliers were bought only had two, so the buyer had to make another one. Also they had made a golden dome on the ceiling and it echoed. The builders didn't know that it would echo also.

The Barber of Seville

          Yesterday I got to see an opera called The Barber of Seville. Most of my class got to see it. Usually the tickets would have costed $175. But we all got it for free because my friend's mom was looking for discount tickets for her son. So the head asked what school, his grade, and his teacher. And luckly the head knew my teacher. So the head donated 43 tickets. But the opera was cool. At the end one of the guys was singing really loud at the right pitch for about 2 minutes. The opera was 3 hours long. Alot of my friends were there. It ended at about 11 o'clock!
