Computer World

During the occupation, the Virus discovers that Computer Land rain a lot. The whole idea about the occupation is about the electric mines. The Virus running out of electric because they only have three mines but the Computer World have way more mines then that. Most of the citizens in the Computer World lives near the RAM river to have easy assess to the water because it most of the mines locate out in the ocean. The Virus blocked all of the entrants to the ocean so that the people have to pay for them for electric. The Virus cannot adapt with the raining climate in the Computer World because in the Virus World, there is no rain, only desert so they have to move back to the Virus World but some still stay the continue the occupation.

Many of the Virus soldiers are dead be cause of the climate changing. That makes it easier for the underground resistance. The resistance are making plans for years and finding a good time to attack. The resistance led by a person call Microsoft. The head of the resistance is in the wires forest because that the place where the virus never go in. It has many rains, all year long and it can help travel information fast. Not may people live in the wires forest because there is no food, the wires tree cannot be chopping down, and the forest is very dens so it will be easy to get lose. The resistance has to know very well about the forest for make it to be there head place and them have to depends on the food sources outside and it have to move carefully.

The development of chip farms help the resistance to get more advance chips so that they can upgrade the anti virus groups. The number of the Virus soldiers still decreasing. The resistance group moves out of the forest and relocate near the river so they can easily move. The Anti Virus groups started there attack, first in the village near the river where most of the Virus army stay. The Virus army surprise by the attack and they try to contact to the Virus World for back up but the signal get blocked by the Anti Virus. The Virus are out number and they are hopeless. Most of the army killed by the Anti Virus and some surrender and get in jail located in 40 degree South and 55 degree east. The Anti Virus groups quickly put up the Ice Wall around the border of the Computer World to keep out the Virus. They also create the headmaster in the Southeast of the World so it can be well protect and Microsoft gets to be their leader.

What I had learn

I learnt one thing about Chinese culture is the food binding. Long time ago, wealthy woman get one of their feet wrap in some kind of wood shoe like high heels so their foot will stay in one shape. It shows that the wealth women don't need to walk with their own feet, they have servants to carry them around. I also learnt that many of my friends is half Chinese and half Vietnamese.

Some of my friend also come form different place in the world like France, USA and Germany. I also learn that different part of the world have different culture and tradition like in Asia people mostly follow Buddhism but in North America South America and Europe people mostly follow Christianity. I love when people present about food because i really like food and i can learn more about the different of food between different regions.
