LED lights help the world

What are LED lights?
Professors Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura made the first blue LEDs in the early 1990s with that they combined the curently made LEDs red and green to make white LED lights. With that today we use LED lights in many things computers, phones and-you get the idea. Nov, 2015 LED light bulbs only cost 7-8$ at Costco.

How can LED lights benefit for me?
LED lights conserve electricity which makes it a whole lot better you can save you can save about 45$ a month if you switch to LED light bulbs. The savings are about $1.50 to $2 per light bulb. The LED bulbs in our house are brighter in our house. Every room without LED lights look dimmer. Even though the LED bulbs use less electricity than the older bulbs. It may seem expensive but it is really beneficial over the course of a long time. One of your incandescent light bulbs are using the power of 5 LED lights! It is so amazing you save more and it's brighter.

If I switch to LED lights how am I helping the environment?
With LED lights you are using nontoxic elements so they don't make toxic waste that can harm the environment. If you switch to LED lights you are helping the environment big time. For example fluorescent strip lights contain mercury which is poisonous to humans and animals. If you switch to LED lights you can save energy and help people who use fire as a light. For example, if you gave every African family an LED lamp they can save energy and help themselves to get a more officiant light source.

Conclusion
If everyone switched to LED lights I think we can make a big difference in our world. Want to help stop global warming? Switch to LED lights you conserve energy, don't poison the environment, save money and have a brighter. If we all switched to LED lights I think we can make a brighter future.

Taiwan: Japanese Pork Chops

    The elevator took nearly forever. I stood there in a trance as I watched elevator go up and down each time passing our floor. "I'm going to use the stairs!" I called out and as I predicted the minute I said that the elevator came. We came up to the restaurant and soon realized the line was tremendously long. Good thing we put a reservation I thought. Even though the restaurant is small it was surprisingly very comfy. The food took a very short time to come, not only that it was tasty. I ordered tonkatsu it was so good that when we finished we packed everything on the table.

While we were walking back to my grandma's sister's home I said,"That was the first time we packed white rice!" "That is because it was that good." my mom replied.

Taiwan Trip: National Museum

In Taiwan me and my family, we came in a bus and went up by elevator in to the Taiwan National Museum. We bought our tickets, grabbed a audio guide, stamped our hands and got in the museum.

This is what it looked like outside.

Below are the four best art from china in my opinion.

The Taiwan National museum was famous for the jadeite cabbage. The cabbage was a statue wrapped in jadeite. If you look closely you might see the small little jadeite grasshopper on the leaves.


Mmmmmm pork.....rock? This delicious looking piece of rock was found by the sculptor. He added a little bit of texture and BOOM...a delicious piece of pork-rock.



This ivory sphere was made from one elephant tusk. It has 24 layers with designs and all 24 spheres can independently spin. This was called Demon Art since it was almost impossible to be made by human hands.






The Pit carving is my favorite piece. It is an olive seed carved into a boat. On the boat it has 8 people. They are inside. There is a table with food, plates and utensils. The windows and doors can open and close. You can see the expressions of the people in the boat. There are 300 characters on the bottom from the artist.

Can you see why this is my favorite ?
