Up and Running for Fall 2010!
Now that 2nd quarter is almost underway, it's time to update the blog. This is a great place for us to continue conversations from class. We've been looking at TransWorld Expedition, Nicolas Rapp's blog about his driving trip around the world. If you could interview him today, what would you ask? (Be sure to sign your first name to your comment!)

ReplyDeleteMy question:
ReplyDeleteWhen Looking at your blog, I've noticed that you don't visit major (by American standards, at least) cities. Why is that, or is it just me?
-Eddie Gao
I would ask him why he choose to go around the world, and how he felt when he bgan his journey. Also I would ask him how he calculated the money it would cost to finish this trip. Maybe I would even ask him what he liked and what he disliked from the foods he has already eaten from the different countries. Kirsten Ensminger
ReplyDeleteI would ask him why did he does this? I would also ask what has been his biggest problem besides the car on his whole journey? Those are the only questions I have right now.

Here's my question
ReplyDeleteDoes it ever get lonely driving around in your car? I know that there's other people in the countries/cities that he's in, but there would be other people with him in the car when he drives.
If I was traveling I would want to stop and see the beautiful views, so why are you leaving different places so fast? And which place has been your favorite?
ReplyDeleteI would ask him if he would ever try to travel around the world again, but this time try to take a different route and go through different countries
ReplyDelete~Elise Katz
I would ask him if he met anyone that impacted his life, and I would ask him what was his favorite food that he tried in a country (assuming he tried a new food).
ReplyDeleteEvvy DeWeese
I would ask him how he is going to ship his car across the pacific, since the pacific is so great a distance across. I would also ask him if he would stop in his trans-pacific journey, and, if so, where?
ReplyDeleteI would ask, did you think that the journey would be hard to do when you had to ship your car and also the posibility of beating your car there what would you do????
ReplyDelete♥ Autumn Shelby♥
I would ask Mr. Rapp what his favorite country he visitd was, and his favorite city, and why. Also, I would ask if he thought it would've been better if Nadia (or someone else) traveled with him the whole time, or if it was better alone. As well as those questions, I would ask whether he will leave the U.S. ever to live in another country. And if he answers yes, where?
ReplyDeleteI would ask him how does he translate with all different kinds of people all over the world? Also i would ask him if differents countries had a different kind of money how would he get there kind of money to get food,gas and stuff like that?
