Winter Exhibition, Psych I Dipped to Colombia

Hello I’m back with another post. About the Winter Exhibition I wasn’t at. This year it was a group project and I’ll get into more detail below.

Exhibition:

So, this year the exhibition was with a group. My group was the largest because 2 of us left. Jordyn to Jamaica and I left to Colombia (more on that later on). Anyways in my group was Kyle, Jason, Gabby, Jordyn, Fraser, and of course, myself. Our task was to create a story and bring it to life in a room. So get and idea for this we read a few different stories to learn how to set a mood or make the room tell a story.

That’s why we also got to go on a field trip to an escape room which was pretty fun. However it also had to include a bit of science. In my recent post about chemistry, I talk about my animation with Fraser. Well this time we kind of had to combine 3 group’s animations in to our exhibition.

In my opinion, probably my major contribution for my group was designing, cutting out and assembling the cash for our project. Below are the samples.

I honestly think I could’ve stepped up and gotten more involved because ultimately our story kind of got voted out and cast away. I

Now for the probably more interesting and definitely more fun part of this post.

Colombia:

On January 19th, about 33 hours before the start of th exhibition I was at the airport headed for Colombia.

I had a 1 day stop at the beach in Cancún and then headed for Bogotá, the capital of Colombia. It has an elevation of 2600 meters above sea level, the third highest capital city in the world. The day I arrived, my uncle took me on a hike up to Montserrate, a hill in Bogotá that goes up to 3100 meters above sea level. Surprisingly I wasn’t too exhausted and it was a beautiful view.

Probably the biggest difference between Colombia and Canada was sheer population density. There are 5 million more people in Colombia than there are in Canada and it’s almost ten times smaller. Here, motorcycles are for recreation, in Colombia it’s very important form of transportation since they’re a lot more maneuverable than a car.

In the middle right of the picture, you can see a police motorcycle cutting between cars.

When I got back to Vancouver it sounded deserted after Bogotá, where cars are swerving and honking, motorcycles cut between cars and there are street vendors everywhere.

However one of th highlights of my trip were some beautiful waterfalls at the end of a hike over to mountains.

Well you reached the end of this post about the exhibition and why I skipped. Sorry about the lack of pictures a the top but I didn’t really take any.
