Assignment 3 Gabe

The most influential trip I have been on is the one I took to Fiji. It was the summer of eighth grade and I embarked on a trip to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji alongside many classmates. While the Australian nightlife and the cool New Zealand countryside proved to ever so peaceful and exciting nothing compares to the polarity between two places so close together such as the Fiji natives and the vacationing tourists. Its fair to say throughout the trip I rode on plenty of planes and been through plenty of airports but the airport in Fiji was so much different. It was small, had no air conditioning, and couldn't have had more than three planes. On the bus ride to our resort we rode through the commons riddled with poverty until we came up on a bridge which took us across the river to a place so much different but so close in location. The resort was heavenly and again on the ride back home we went through the commons and it really taught me not to take things in life for granted.
