Peacetopia

One of the location on my map is located 20 degrees north and 30 degrees east. There is large whirlpool in that Lake. When you toss something in, it never will be found. Never. The Peacetian scientist believe that it might be a entrance to another world. People who want to die jump into the whirlpool, which i believe is crazy.




In 3014 Peacetian Peace Believers or the PPB. Has traveled around the world to influence world peace, they have been to Rainbowtiton and Shareapore. The have visited Evildor but they refused any PPB in their country.



The Peacetian are so peaceful that they don't want to harness the Peacetopia Earth. They have done many things to keep they earth clean, which is to live in tipi. Tipis are made out of grass, famous traveler from a different world Lovatine. There is also a magical wishing cave, where you can wish any resource you desire.



The Flyrina Forest is full of surprises. It has all kinds of animals from big to small. Here we have flying pigs, and oinking birds. There are trees that are tall as the Everest. And trees that are short as ants. Many Peacetains come to relax and think. It was voted the most relaxing place in Peacetopia.



The Doveland region is where peace was created and believed in. In this large area, the people speak Domo. Domo is the only word that is spoken, the Peacetian understand each other by the pitch of the word. Aple Mountain Range protects the capital, Birdy. The Flyrina Forest is also there too. Come visit Doveland, an adventure you will never forget.

What I learnt from the family tree project

I learnt a lot from the family tree project because I never knew that in had a Jewish grandfather on my mom's side. My mom doesn't talk about him much. He left my mom when she was little because of his religion. He didn't want to leave but, he must marry another person who believes in the same religion with him. Religion. Now he lives in California, He is the father of his church. I have never meet my grandfather, and i plan not to because he is living his life fine without knowing he has a granddaughter. But i always wonder is he does know I'm living and breathing. 

I also learnt that my step-grandfather on my dad's can speak very well Chinese. He use to go to school in China. He lived there for two months but he speaks like he lived there for years. It was good that he went to school there because he wouldn't have meet my grandma. Here how the story goes. 

My grandfather was back from China. He was walking on the streets in the District of Columbia. He saw my grandma, he thought she was Chinese, but she turned out to be Vietnamese. He walked to her, to show off his Chinese skills, but my grandma didn't understand him. But he still fell in live with her, because she was so beautiful, and smelled like flowers. That is how my my grandfather and grandmother meet.
