And then began a very heavy rain. But we had umbrellas. It was great! Then we decided to walk around of Moscow. First went to the Temple of the Savior Chrest(there really was very beautiful) and then went to an exhibition of modern paintings and photographs. The exhibition was very interesting!

GOLDEN CORN AWARD

Last weekend I went to the corn eating competition in Mexico. Two weeks ago I was sitting in my kitchen and eating my favourite corn "Heinz". Suddenly I saw an an advertisment in the newspaper about Golden Corn award. I decided to take part in this challenging competition to be the best corn eater in the world. When I arrived to Mexico I saw a lot of fat messy mexicans that were eating corn "Heinz" before the competition. I decided to eat much more corn every day and in two days I was the fattest and the most messy in the competition. I won this award and now I am going to bring Golden Corn award to my country.
