Blog post 24 - Summer break

For my summer, I travelled to Berlin for four days. During this time, we explored the history of Berlin. We saw some of the most historical sights of Berlin, such as the Berlin Wall, East side gallery and the Holocaust Memorial. After Berlin we flew to Copenhagen to board for the cruise along European countries, where we spent 10 days on this holiday. The first stop was Norway, then Sweden, Russia, Germany, and Denmark. Once we reached our final stop we flew to Masterdam where we spent 3 days on the heart of the city. After the end of he trip we flew back to Abu Dhabi where I have spent 2 weeks working on some summer work.

After 2 weeks I flew to Malaysia to meet up with Nadiah. We spent a few day in Malaysia, exploring famous artifacts of the city and enduring into the Malay culture. After Malaysia we took a bus ride to Singapore to spend a few days shopping and exploring the city. After Singapore we drove to Malaysia and flew back to Abu Dhabi. After a while my family and I went to Australia to spend to look at possible universities and residential areas.

And also because I moved country, so that will give them an idea that I might or will lose my heritage and what identifies me as a person. When I was still living in South Africa, I took Afrikaans as one of my second languages in school. From past experiences I thought it would be difficult to grasp on because I have only so little sources or background information about the language. Throughout the course, I improved on my pronunciation, which is obviously one of the most important area of a language. I achieved "A's" in the
