-- MY HOMETOWN --
My hometown: Brisbane, Australia
By Nancy Hsu
in Brisbane,
Queensland, Australia – I’m 17, don’t have my driver’s
license and haven’t seen half of what Brisbane has to offer,
so perhaps I’m not the best person to be promoting it. What I
can offer, though, is an explanation of why I wouldn’t have
chosen anywhere else to spend my first 17 years of life.
Why I love Brisbane (a.k.a.
Brisvegas, Brissy, and ‘the sleepy little town’):
1. The Brisbane River.
It runs smack-dab through the
middle of the city, separating northern and southern Brisbane.
Search Google Maps for “Brisbane,
Australia” and you’ll see the vast expanse of the Brisbane
River.
Growing up, I couldn’t avoid hearing the many rumors surrounding
the
murkiness of the river. The most fascinating I’ve heard is that
it is shark-infested – which it obviously isn’t, but that didn’t
stop my mother from banning me from going tubing in it due to
the ‘possible sharks.’

Acadia is perfect for a president ... and
everyone else
The Mount Desert Island coastline at Acadia National Park in
Maine.
Mary Majerus-Collins/youthjournalism.org
By Kiernan Majerus-Collins in BAR HARBOR, Maine, U.S.A. –
I can understand why President Barack Obama and his family chose
to vacation at Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island in
Maine. The real question is, why would they want to go back to
Washington?
Acadia is beautiful beyond belief. From Otter Point to Thunder
Hole to the top of Cadillac Mountain, Acadia is tremendous,
peaceful, wonderful and extraordinary.
The political climate in Washington is not.
