A Brief Glance at Rostin Yates The cathedral was the only unrefined building for fifty kilometres. Grasping at the sky, the peak of the church clawed the clouds, a shard against smooth architecture. It was dingy and the walls were covered in years of smog. It had fallen into abandon, its large oaken doors cracked and chipped. Inside, he withered on a pew worn from age and weathered from the bodies that once littered the church. His fingers were covered by the thinnest of skin. He was an ugly…

Pyrite, also known as fool's gold, is similar in color and shape to gold, and is easily mistaken for gold because it generally occurs naturally with gold. Pyrite, though, can be easily distinguished from gold by running some simple tests and doing some simple observations.

I really cannot compare other countries with Italy because of my lack of travel the past years, but there is one thing I can say about Italy that stood out from the others is that is a place where you literally feel disconnected and forget about your responsibilities and worries. On thursday evening, Jillian and I flew to Venice, Italy. Jillian really wanted to partake in the "hostel" experience and we stayed at Camping Jolly. It was not as scary as I thought it would be, but then again we did…

During my time in Paris, I was lucky enough to see various monuments that I could only dream of seeing. Each monument I saw is imperative to France as well as the city of Paris. As an American, being in France was interesting experience not only because of the cultural differences.

For example, the Arc de Triumph has a similar version called the Grand Army Plaza…
