Entry #4

Day three
The day started with a ig lecture from Mr. Mead. My group then completed the Rundle Mall investigation apart from one question. We then traveled off to the World Vision talk. I found it fairly interesting. We were told statistics, about different situations that World Vision is facing worldwide, and how World Vision responds to them. Most importantly though, most of the questions in the booklet were answered. Because the Central Markets were closed yesturday, we went to them again today to complete the investigation which was exactly what we did. Part of the investigat
ion was to eat a meal in the food court and describe it. So we had lunch there and finished that part of the booklet. I think that the three things that I enjoyed most about city week was going to the Central Markets and eating there, going to Rundle Mall eating and doing a bit of browsing after we finished our investiagtion and finally the interview at the Adelaide Convention Center because Mr. Bethely was such a nice man. After our stop at the Market we went back to the Mall for some more food. At about twelve, we went back to Pilgrim Hall to get changed and travel to City Beach where we played beach volleyball for a good three quaters of an hour. All groups participated in this event. The sand was burning and the sun scorched down. It was horrible having to put our shoes back on again because our feet were all sandy and sticky but dry at the same time. It was fun, but a little too hot fore enjoyment. There was half an hour of investigation before heading back to Pilgrim Hall to sign out and go home.

Day two
Today was my second day in the city. I had to sign in as everyone did before I leave the Pilgrim Hall. We started the day by going straight to the Central Market. Not all the stalls had opened yet, and the food court was also closed so we were unable to complete our investigation.
We walked down to the Town Hall for that tour which we were booked into. That only went for half an hour, and was cut even shorter due to the fact that our group needed to go to an interview at the Adelaide Convention Centre. Mr Gair Bethely was the person that we were set to interview. He was the head of training and development. We squeezed a fair amount of information out of him.
After we had an interview with Mr Gair Bethely, we headed to the State library. We started walking down there and me, James and Giorgio accidently left Sam by himself. But luckly we ended up doung the tour together. I found the tour very boring, as the giude kept on teach us how to use machines and what are they for. I alreday knew about those stuff that he taught us we didnt get much informatiion for our booklets. Because of the incident on the way to the Library, we had to stay at the hall for the rest of the day, which wasnt long thankfully.

After few hours, Mr Mead to let us go out and get some lunch, he finally let us go to the food court a few streets across from Pilgrim Hall. All of our group members were very hungry. I had a Cheese burger meal and a subway! The rest of the day was spent filling out our booklets and reading books in the shadows of Pilgrim Hall.

Day One
Monday, 26th October 2009
Today, the two english classes went to the Pilgrim Church. Unfortunately I was late in the morning so I missed the bus. Mrs Carman had to drop me off at the Pilgrim Church.
We had to sign in once we get in to the Pilgrim Church or once we leave the Pilgrim Church which was compulsory thing to do. My class went to the Treasury Tunnles Tour first and the group spilit in to two, boys and girls. We had to follow the guide to answer the questions about Treasury Tunnles. It was interesting for our group to investigate what the Treasury Tunnles was like. There were few of meterialistic conception of history has been well preserved of Australian history. I was surprised how well they were preseved. After our group finished our investigations, we headed back to Pilgrim Hall.

We then went back to Pilgrim to get our stuff to go to Rundle Mall. We had to do an investigation here but never ended up doing, instead we walked around and had a look at everything, we saw a lot of busker's playing fantastic music or attractive magic show! We then went into the Myer Center and had a look at some shops in there before going down to the food court to get some lunch. Me and Jake went and got some KFC while James bought some McDonalds and Sam had subway. Giorgio brought some lunch from home. After everyone finished eating we went back up to Rundle Mall, but on the way got side tracked by a skill tester machine where Giorgio tried to get chocolate. We ended up using $14 and only got two chocolates, it was a waste of money but was good fun.
After Rundle Mall we headed to North Terrace to try and catch the City Loop Bus. We waited until a bus came and i flagged it down but it didn't stop so we had to wait another 15 minutes. When the next one came Sam tried to flag it down but this one didn't stop either, turns out we were at the wrong stop so we didn't get time to get on the Bus and ended up going to the Grote St Library for a talk with a man named Andrew Bollen. He never showed up so we got more time to do an investigation. Me and my group went over the road to the Central Markets to do some of the investigation there. We went to the food court and Giorgio got some Black Sticky Rice and Soya Bean curd and i got a korean noodles with bottle of coke.
We then headed back to Pilgrim as the day was over. When there, we filled in what we would for the next day and signed out. I walked up to Wakefield Street with Henry, Jake and Simon to catch a bus back to school. Turns out there were a lot of people doing this as well. I got back to school and got on the school bus and went home.

Entry #2I go to city around twice a week so I know a way around it. The reasons for me to visiting city would be to catch up with friends. City has a lot of interesting things to do and eat. My favourite place in the of city would be rundle street and China Town. I love visiting China town and rundle street because there are always busy and crowded. The best fun I've had in the city is watcahing a really good busker. I think city generally very small and not much things to buy but I love it because the city is always full of people !
