Mexicans to America.

Large-scale Mexican migration to the United States began in the early 20th century, motivated by labor demands in the United States and political unrest in Mexico. Throughout the 20th century, major reforms to the U.S. immigration system played a role in shaping the size and character of Mexican immigration flows. Since 1980, Mexicans have been the largest immigrant group in the United States. As of 2013, approximately 11.6 million Mexican immigrants resided in the United States—up from 2.2 million in 1980—and Mexicans accounted for 28 percent of the country’s 41.3 million foreign born.

Immigration from Mexico to the United States has gone through four main periods. The first wave, occurring prior to World War II, consisted of agricultural workers recruited by private labor contractors, with the number of Mexican immigrants rising from 105,200 in 1900 to 624,400 in 1930. The Bracero program, from 1942 to 1964, ushered in the second wave, also consisting mostly of agricultural guest workers. The third, largely unauthorized wave began after the Bracero program was terminated and after 1965 changes to U.S. immigration law ended national-origin quotas and imposed the first numerical limits on Mexico and other Latin American countries. The majority of Mexican immigrants in this third wave were male, seasonal farm laborers who regularly traveled back and forth across the border. The passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) and subsequent investments in border security were a turning point, initiating the fourth wave of Mexican migration. IRCA legalized close to 3 million unauthorized migrants, including 2.3 million Mexicans, in return for tougher border enforcement and penalties for American employers who hired unauthorized workers. As crossing the border became more difficult, and as economic changes in the United States opened additional jobs to low-skilled foreign workers, immigrants began to settle permanently, bringing their families to live in the United States. Between 1990 and 2010 more than 7.5 million Mexican immigrants—many of whom were unauthorized—arrived.

More recently, Mexican immigration to the United States has begun to decline—marking at least a pause, and possibly an end to the fourth wave. Declining inflows appear to reflect the impact of the Great Recession, improved educational and economic opportunities in Mexico, and ever-tougher border enforcement.

Lamborghini Aventador.

Roadtrip. 

For this roadtrip through the United Kindom I have chosen this car, a Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4. This vehicle is built in Italy and it is one of the many uniqe cars by Lamborghini. With the V12 enige and carbon-fiber technology this car is one of the better cars to go for a roadtrip with. It is not just the enige or the cars interior thats good here, the cars look is also kind of challenging, still the car have a standar lamborghini look. 

This is where I live, in 33 albany St in Edinburgh, Scottland.
Edinburgh have been recognised as the capital of Scottland since at least the 15th century. I wanted to live here, because i think it is a quite and nice place.
The city have many festivals and celebrations during the year, some of them are known all around the world, this is when people in the neighbourhood are comming to gether and having fun.
Edinburgh also have a lot of historical buildings/castels.




The trip starts when I was going to the bank, The Royal Bank of Scottland. I went to the bank, to make the moneytransfer for my new lamborghini. I payed my vehicle, went out from the bank and went inside of my car when the thought of driving all day popped up in my head. Why not take a roadtrip when i finally bought a car like this?
I started my GPS, and found a route to London, aiming for Big Ben. On the tour I took the decision to make som stops on the route, in Newcastle, Leed, Lincoln and Cambridge.

The trip started through this road, headed for Newcastle.
I needed to full up my car with fuil, gaseline and to buy some food. I also had in mind to stop on something historical in Newcastle, to take a look on something nice in my country.



After a great burger on Mc Donald the trip went to King Edward Park.

.

King Edward Park is a wedding park, I chose to visit this place because I have plans to ask my girlfriend to marry me.
King Edward Park is a park with magnificent ocean and city views, great nature around the area, stunning etablished trees and blooming flower beds.
I think maybe I should use this place for my wedding, so beautiful.

.

.

The next stop was Leeds, here i started the stop with a little round of shopping, looking for a ring in Leeds shoppingstreets.

After this i went to the Leeds home stadium for a footbalmatch. Today Leeds was playing against Liverpool, a match that many people were waiting for.

It was late, but i decided to take the last trip to Lincoln before i checked in on a hotel for the night. I didnt want to check in to a hotel in Leeds, because of the little trafic on the late evening, so I went out to my car again and went for a speed test the last trip today. It is so great to drive so far with such a new vehicle, no car problems.

.

After a great night on this 4-stars hotel.
I didnt find this city so interesting, so after a quick drive in this city I found the route to the highway for the last trip before London. I set the GPS to Cambrige and started to drive.

.

For Cambrige I have decided to take the trip to the worldknown Harvard University. I had never been there before this trip, and I thought that that would be very interesting.

"Harvard University is a private Ivy Leauge university  in Cambrigde ,Massachusetts, established 1636. Its history, influence and wealth have made it one of the most prestigious universities in the world".

.

I met with some teachers from Harvard, they happily showed me around the shcool. I went in a math class, with som diffucult tasks, they asked me if I could solve it but it clearly was to difficult for me.
The trip now went to the last target and main goal for this roadtrip, Big Ben in London.

.

Finally I reached my last target, Big Ben in London.

Big Ben is the nickname of the Great Bell og the clock. Big Ben is located in the north end of Palace og Westminister in London and people call it the World clock.
The tower holds the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world and its the 3rd largest free-standing clocktower.

This was a great roadtrip, the car is so great on the road. An agressive car, I love that. I could visit many new placed that I have never been before and I also had a great trip through the road. No problems with the car, only some workers who builded on the road. Some time standing and watch them work before I could drive again. After all, I clearly would have done this again.

Creative Stunts, task 2. 

Nazneen is going down the stair; she finally decided to go over the road to visit the tattoo lady. Even though she is kind of scared and excited.
Nazneen came to the door, where she knocked, repeatedly before the tattoo lady opened it.

"Hello", Nazneen said.
"Hi, who are you", the tattoo lady answered quickly.
"I’m your neighbour, I’m living just across the road. I thought we could hang out, talk and maybe we can become friends somehow", Nazneen said with her eyes full of hope.
"Sure, come in. I’m sorry about the mess", the tattoo lady said while she turned in the door.

"Thanks, by the way my name is Nazneen", she said.
"Oh, my name is Helen, but people just call me the tattoo lady", she said while she was looking around the kitchen. "You want some coffie?"

"Yes please", Nazneen, answered while she went for the table.

Helen came with the coffee and they were just sitting there, for some hours, talking about everything.

"How are your work like?" Nazneen asked to just keep the conversation going.

"Its great, I love my work! Sometimes though it is difficult when people who are coming to my shop, with these difficult types of tattoos. Some of them are so difficult and takes so much time. However, at the end, they turn in to a great tattoo and it is kind of worth the work. I’m making a lot of money because of that." Helen said and showed me her tattoo on her back.
"Oh, not bad! I love your tattoo! Maybe you can give me one sometime?"
"Yes of course, whenever you want!" Helen said so excited.

"Great, thanks for the coffee! I’ll come back another day and maybe you have time then", Nazneen said and were ready to go home.
"See you soon!" Helen said and opened the door.

Trip

It was a long trip, down a long road with many, simular bushes on both sides.
The road was filled with a parkinglot, full of cars, a fotballfield, a park, trash.
In the end it went in to a gravelled road who ended at a top where you can see outwards a great landscape.

.

You cant smell anything out here, just normal nature.
The sound of a excavator are comming through the area, all the time.

Quotes.

"If you never been hated by you child you have never been a parent"


As a parent, you a have to do both difficult and hard challenges, at the same time you need to do great things for your child. I think when you have children, its kind of your work and your responsibility to control how the child are going to be when they grow up

I think this quote is a good way to say that you need to do stupid, but smart things that your child may or may not understand, those things can start a fight, but still you need to do that to protect your child against many strange things that they can do. If you dont fight, or argue with your children, then you clearly not are ready for the difficult task to raise a child.

Trip to Galdhøpiggen.

Last week we were on a trip to Galdhøpiggen and some other exciting places in Norway.

First of all we were in Hell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

.

 

 

When we came to "Helvete" there was a man, kind of a guide who just told us about the history around the place, what we could see around there and how the place works. After that we went down to the potholes and looked around, it was much water around the area and my waterproof Converse got wet.

 

 

 

 

After that we were in "Kvitskriuprestinn" '

Kvitskriuprestin is a dirt and rock columns. This is a natural phenomenon, this is happening when rainwater are washing moraine materials, leaving the rocks as big umbrellas covering the columns.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We slept in tent on a camping before we next morning went for rafting in Sjoa.

 

Not everybody wanted to do this, but it was really funny.

The rafting had different types of grades, hard and easy. This was a wet and very exciting trip. I think that all of the people who did this thought it was fun.

 

 .

 

We came back to the camping, took our things back in the bus before we went to a icedrift.

 

 This icedrift are, at the most, 60meters in the mountain. The icedrift are constantly moving and melting. Now, at the end of the seasong it has melted 40 meters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, at the last day we went to Galdhøpiggen. That was kind of the biggest target with the whole trip.

 

 

 The trip had different types of challenges, first of all it was a long trip on only rocks, then we had to put a rope around our chest, because we walked over a glacier with some cracks that we could fall in. Then we came to the bottom of the hardest part, the last trip to the top.

 

 

 

 

Galdhøpiggen is 2469 meters above sea level and the highest mountain in Norway. They say that when you are at the top, you can se 1/6 of the country.
It was a very great trip, nice weather and beautiful nature.

 

Songs.

Today I have listened to two differents songs and one poem about relationship.
-Donne: No Man is an Island
-Simon: I am a Rock
-Rogers and Hammerstein: You’ll Never Walk Alone

Donne: No Man is an Island

This is the one poem I have listened to. This poem is about how no one, no where, are standing alone, and how everything that happens to someone have something to do with someone else. It is a poem about how we humans stand together. 

Simon: I am a Rock

This Is one of the two songs I have listened to. This song is a song who is quite sad. I think it is about how relationships and how humans can hurt eachoters feelings and how this can destroy a person. In the lyrics you can read about a person who locks himself inside, from the world. How the person are hiding and defending himself. Simon, who have written this song are using "Rock" as a object to describe the feelings of the person in the lyrics has. 

Susan boyle: You'll Never Walk Alone

The last song is about how you can see the good things in the bad, no matter how bad it is. The lyrics in this song is mostly about how you should walk on. Example: If you break up with your girl/boyfriend, you should just move on, "Don't be afraid of the drark. At the end of the storm is a golden sky", this quote shows in the best way what the text really are about. No matter what, you are not alone.

If you're singel
