How to change a tire

Many women in today’s society that drive alone are clueless about how to change a tire. It’s important to know how to change a tire, especially if there is no garage. And most of the tools you need are already in your car. These tools include a jack, a tire iron, a spare tire, and road flares.

The first step is to set up the road flares. Next, the wheel nuts must be loosened. This should be done before the car is raised, using the jack. After that the car is jacked up. Then the nuts are removed. Then the wheel is removed and the spare tire is put on. Next the nuts are tightened and the car is lowered. The nuts are tightened one last time for safety. Finally the tools are tidied away. You are now ready to drive on.

As you can see, changing a tire is a very easy, but you have to follow the above steps.

A journey from Brunei to Sarawak

Thirty years ago, Hedley, with his wife Mary and daughter Katie, visited the Niah caves in Sarawak, East Malaysia. They traveled by car, boat and ferry.

They set off from Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei and drove to the border with Sarawak. They crossed two large rives by ferry, stopped In Miri for lunch and then continued to Niah, a small river township. Thin they hired a small boat and sailed upriver to a government rest house, where they spent the night. They ate with the small group of scientists who lived in the rest house and shared the cold drinks they had brought with them in a cool box. It was a remote spot, deep in the jungle. They slept in bunk beds with no airconditioning. It was a novel experience.

The next morning, they walked along a jungle path for half an hour until they reached the Niah caves. Inside the caves, which were very high, they saw men who climbed up tall bamboo poles. The men wore lights on their hats because it was so dark. At the top of the poles they scraped off birds’ nests from the roof of the caves. The nests were collected by their mates on the cave floor and packed into sacks. These nests were later sold and made into bird’s nest soup, a Chinese delicacy.

That afternoon, they said goodbye to their new-found friends in the rest house and set off on the long drive home. It was quite an adventure and one they would never forget.

Last summer I traveled with my family to Bahrain. We visited many well-known places, including the city center, Corniche beach and Bahrain museum. Our first stop was the Bahrain museum, which contains cultural things special to people in Bahrain, for example hand clothing, housing and how to provide food and drink to their family. I was surprised to see how simple the tools of teaching were. We heard many traditional stories about a groom on his or her wedding and music for divers when they go for fishing trips. Also, I learned the history of the schools in Bahrain and how the citizens of different countries loved people of Bahrain.

After visiting Bahrain museum, we continued to the Corniche Beach. We relaxed near the beach. We began to do interesting activities in the evening, including taking a bath, playing football on the beach, holding some funny games in the water and taking some pictures. Especially, we had a delicious sea food dinner.

In the night, we went along the beach, listened to the sound of waves, felt the salted taste of sea (more romantic) and that feeling was so wonderful. Then we came back to the hotel and went to bed at night to go shopping in the city center and bought a lot of gifts for my friends.
