The funniest thing that's ever happenend to me- SeoHee

I went to Mongolia with my sister and some friends 4 years ago. We stayed a week, we went through exciting experience such as Mongolia traditional food, tour, etc.

One of the funniest experience, that's we went to the folk village. In fact, the folk village wasn't exciting but it was exciting our journey to went the folk village.

We divined two cars. Unfortunately our car was not good, some problems, it was cold and not working very well.

When we'd finished the tour and returned, we lost the way to return. There weren't any lights and any sign. It was too dark, we couldn't see any thing but we tried finding the way, we drove around for a hour. Suddenly, the car stopped and it was sounded very horrible. We started finding the problem. Finally we found it because of tyre. So, we waited our helper and then we arrived our place safely.

I wasn't afraid that situation. I was excited because I always imagined about adventure but I didn't have any opportunities. However, that situation fixed my imagination adventure and I never forget it.

Journey To Sherwood Forest (Abdulrahman)

The most dangerous thing I've ever done in my life is when I went to Sherwood forest inside a place called adrenaline jungle. It's about 45 minutes driving by car to the north of Nottingham, in the center of Sherwood forest there are different kinds of campaigns and tents inside the forest with a lots of things to do.

I chose to experience how the soldiers live in the forest with a group of friends equipped with a semi auto shotgun, military suit and goggles to protect our faces and facing another group inside the forest with dangerous traps, lots of trees and covers everywhere. Cooping with your group to accomplish missions is hard sometimes and it is difficult to defeat other group and avoiding traps at the same time.

I really enjoyed that day and we spent around 7-9 hours in Sherwood forest which is really a unique place and fun. I strongly recommend everyone to go there and enjoying the real life in a forest like Sherwood .

The most dangerous thing I've ever done

For my 26 th birthday there was a surprise waiting for me and I didn't know.

I woke up in the morning and my boyfriend told me that I had to put on confortable clothes because we were going to a place I didn't know.

I was blindfolded all the trip and when we arrived at the place and took off the blinfold I realised that I was to parachute.

After five minutes wewere on the plane with all the equipment, everything happened quickly and after ten minutes we were flying and ready to jump.

My heart was beating fast but I had a really nice instructor who explained all that was to happen then. We jumped, we were falling in the sky for about one minute, it was only one minute, but it felt like ten minutes, you can feel like you are stopped in the air. The most exciting moment is when you are jumping and after the falling when the instructor opens the hang glider it's like flying.

It was so beautiful... I recommend this activity that I did in Empuriabrava, Spain.

It was a beautiful day with blue sky and hot weather. When I was in the air I could see the mountains and the sea. It was perfect.

Michael Jackson, the "king of pop", by Valeria and Joanna

The "king of pop" was born in Gary (Indiana) on August 29, 1958. His carreer started when he was a child: his father created a boyband: The Jackson Five. Michael, at that time, started singing whit his brothers and sisters: Tito, Jermaine, Jackie and Marlon. His father forced them to sing and dance.

In 1982, Michael's solo carreer started with his first album "Thriller". With this song, the king of pop won 8 Grammy Awards and Thriller's video, directed by John Landis, is the most elaborate video in the history of music.

Michael Jackon is famous also because he invented a dance move, the "moonwalk". This singer seemed to be affected by a "Peter Pan syndrome", so he created his personal amusement park, "Neverland", with exotic pets and amusement rides; he also opened the runch for children's events.
There were a lot of rumours about Michael Jackson: people said that he was lightening the color of his skin to appear more white and he was accused to molestate children but the police didn't found any evidence in his house and Michael maintained his innocence.

In 1994 he married Lisa Marie Presley, but they divorced after two years: people said that their wedding was a publicity stunt. In 1996 he married Debbie Rowe and he had two children with her. Jackson became the most famous pop singer in the world: his mos famous songs are: Billie Jean, Thriller, Black or White and Heal the world. Succes was very stressful for him because he was a very sensitive man, so he started taking a lot of drugs and maybe that's the raison why he died on June 25, 2009 of cardiac arrest. His death was a real shock for his fans, because he was supposed to play a concert in London in July.
