According to Nanjing Road by Travel China Guide, the Nanjing Road began “Importing large quantities of foreign goods, it became the earliest shopping street of the city.” There’s over six hundred businesses along this street, all of which are uniquely different and…

Basin every year, giving Egypt a fertile soil. Whenever the flood receded, the farmers on both sides of the Nile began to cultivate. That is why the Nile is their river of life. However, the scientists found the climate had a big change through the stalactites. And such a change no matter where it occurs, will lead to very serious consequences. The huge lake was completely dry at the time, which shows that the water level of the Nile is indeed very low, so that can no longer supply water to the…

with black vertical stripes, was incomparably beautiful, matched with a tailor’s eye for harmony by his pure white chest and underside and the black rings for his long tail.” (pg. 151), “My, my, what an enormous pink cave. Look at those yellow stalactites and stalagmites...Richard Parker’s tongue, the size and colour of a rubber hot water bottle, retreated and his mouth closed.” (pg. 179) Yann Martel didn’t create the image of the tiger being powerful or the fear it creates.

The Alhambra the complete form of which was Calat Alhamra, is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. On a rocky hill that is difficult to access, on the banks of the River Darro, protected by mountains and surrounded by woods, among the oldest quarters in the city, the Alhambra rises up like an imposing castle with reddish tones in its ramparts that prevent the outside world from seeing the delicate beauty they enclose. It was originally constructed as a small…

lake. The exact age of the limestone labyrinth is not known, but based on the dimensions of the crystal, calcite, stalactites and stalagmites, it has been in existence for nearly one million years. Stalactites are the formations that hold tight to the ceiling while stalagmites are formed on the cave’s floor and might grow up to the ceiling.

We got to see stalagmites, stalactites, flowstones, chandeliers and soda straws. We took lots and lots of pictures because if I didn't slow my family, I feel like they wouldn't have believed me. We spent about half our day there, and then after that she took me to the San Antonio Zoo…

The sacred space I chose is the Fatih Mosque, it also famous as Conqueror’s Mosque. It is one of the world most important and creative monuments of architectural history in Istanbul, where the East meets the West.

When Sultan Muhammad conquered Constantinople, he ordered his armies to apply the orders of Islam and not to…

“Click, click, click!” The life jackets sounded throughout the woods. My family and I were in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. And we were going to swim in a stalactites filled, fresh water, cave! It was cool to try something new, but I was also nervous and hesitant, because it was a dark cave. “Let’s go!” A man yelled who was wearing a big pair of goggles. We all headed down the yucky, old, wooden stairs. “Don’t fall, don’t fall!” I whispered to myself. “You're okay.” My mom responded…

form within the mountains. Unfortunately, out of the six thousand caves found throughout the country, only fifteen happen to be open to the public. Many of the caves have unique features called stalagmites and stalactites. Stalagmites are rocks, which rise from the ground while stalactites, much like Stalagmites, differ in that they are rocks, which hang from the ceiling. These rocks most closely resemble something us Minnesotans are all too familiar with, known as icicles. From the pictures…
