Fox Glacier: An Adventure on Ice

by Anders Bruihler / Mar 23, 2013 / 0 comments

Fox Glacier, on the South Island of New Zealand, is one of the most accessible glaciers in the world. It ends in the middle of a lush rainforest, just 250 meters above sea level. It moves at up to ten times the speed of other glaciers.  And there are many glacier tours that let you walk on the ice of the glacier itself.

One of the most entertaining things to do if you go to Jogjakarta, Indonesia, is to visit the bird market. There are hundreds of birds, ranging from common to exotic, as well as many other animals. There are countless shops, each selling different things.

Playing Minecraft With Friends Across The World

When I lived in Montenegro, I used to play Minecraft with two of my friends.  It was a lot of fun for us.  When my family left Montenegro, I was sad that I wouldn’t be able to play with my friends anymore.  When I was in Chiang Mai, Thailand, for a week, I met two other traveling kids who played Minecraft, and I played with them when we could.  Recently, I decided to try to arrange a time for all of us to play over the Internet, to connect and have fun.

A Teen’s Top Ten Things to do in Montenegro

by Anders Bruihler / Dec 16, 2012 / 0 comments

During the three years I lived in Montenegro, I discovered great places and activities in this hidden Mediterranean country.  I’ve compiled the top ten things to do, from my teen perspective.  This list includes skiing in the mountains, climbing a castle on the coast, ascending to the top of a mountain, and zipping along a ropes course.  Most of these things I did several times, and all of them were very fun.  I hope you enjoy my top ten!

Orthodox Christmas in Montenegro

by Anders Bruihler / Oct 02, 2012 / 1 comments

As we drive down the street, fireworks burst above the illuminated Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ.  Sparkles of light brighten up the night sky.  Families walk towards the church, carrying branches.  We pull over and park on the side of the road.

As I step out into the cool winter air, I shiver inside my jacket.  There is no snow, but it is as cold as it will get here in Podgorica, Montenegro.  It is the Orthodox Christmas, the 7th of January.
