Mulberry Street

When I went under anesthesia during my surgery I had the most amazing day of my life. As I fell asleep a unicorn named Gorge flew me too the famous city in the Philippines called Makati. As I was there Gorge took me to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, were the statue of Benigno Aquino, Jr was honored. He explained that Benigno was a governor for the Philippines, he was taken by the U.S. and put in jail and was on trial. After a couple years he was able to come back to his country and take charge again. Soon after his arrival he was assassinated. The Philippines then made a day were they worship him, made statues in his honor and renamed the Airport. I was fascinated by all this information that I didn't realize that he flew me to Bangkok, Thailand. While we were there a huge festival was going on, there was water being thrown, water being sprayed everywhere, and a beauty contest.Gorge explained that the reason there was a festival was because during April 13-15 was Thailand's New year. While he was trying to talk to me a group of little boys came up to me and started a water fight. Right before one boy soaked me Gorge got me out of there quick. As we were flying in the sky, Gorge said he had a couple more places we had to go and the next stop was Jiddah, Saudi Arabia. In Jiddah, we flew to Al-Balad which is old buildings that's history goes back 2,500 years.I didn't find that as entertaining as the next stop which was Nigeria, Africa. In Nigeria Gorge took me to another festival that had so many different dances and music. In different areas there were big circles that had groups of people doing cultural dances. As I was standing there one Nigerian girl pulled me into the circle were her friends and her were doing a dance; her friends and I had a blast! The dance than ended and Gorge said it was time to go to Agra, India. In Agra I saw one of the most beautiful places ever, the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is India’s most recognized monument and is also one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It’s a tomb that contains the body of Mumtaz Mahal, which is the wife of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. He had it built  to show his love for her. It's made out of marble and took 22 years and 20 000 workers to complete. I never wanted to leave but before I knew it I was waking up in my hospital bed. After my adventure I would get a minor surgery done everyday.
