What music did I listen to this week?:

I heard a lot of different kinds of music this week! For starters, when I rode the subway or was walking around the city, I sometimes had an earbud in to listen to my own music such as Taylor Swift. I stayed in a hostel with a French cafe that played all French music. Whenever I was eating breakfast or enjoying a snack break in the cafe, I heard famous French songs. Many shops were also playing Lunar New Year music. Although this isn't music, it's also worth mentioning that I listen to a lot of audiobooks when I take public transportation. This week, I listened to the first two Harry Potter books! They are my favorite books to listen to so I re-listen to them at least twice a year.

What activity was the most fun this week?:

This week I had the opportunity to try something I have always dreamed of: bungee jumping! That is the activity where you have a super strong rubber band attached to your legs and you fall off of a super high platform and then bounce around on the band. I was very excited to try something new! Fun fact about me: I don't like heights! So standing on the platform getting ready to jump was super scary for me. I almost quit! But I wanted to be brave and show myself that I could do scary things. So I took a deep breath and literally fell forward! It was one of the most fun things I have ever done in my whole life!

What did I read this week?:

I read a lot of books! This week I finished two books and started a third. I also did a lot of reading in French and Chinese on Duolingo as I practiced the languages.
