BEIJING

An amazing

experience

that you will

never forget!

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOWBasic information that would be important if you were here.

Beijing is based in North East China on the North Eastcoast of Asia.

Beijing is the capital of China which borders 14

different countries as well as the Pacific Ocean. Those

countries include Afghanistan, Bhutan, Burma, India,

Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Mongolia, Nepal, North Korea,

Pakistan, Russia Tajikistan, and Vietnam.

On February 26th 2010 Beijings population exceeded 22

million people.

The climate has a variety of different types of weather.

Their spring is mid March- Mid May which is mild but

sometimes dust storms come. July and August has heavyrains even though summer is mid May- mid September,

which is hot and humid. Beijings A\autumn is mid September- mid November which has mild days

and chilly nights. Then the long winter is mid November- Mid March.

The country got its flag in 1949. The four small stars represent groups of workers while the large star

represents the leadership of the communist party.

The State Emblem stands for the gate of heavenly peace in Beijing framed by grains of rice and

wheat that stands for agriculture and a cogwheel that represents industry.

Everyone in China can speak Chinese. Although there are different types of Chinese. The ones found

most common in Beijing are Mandarin and Putonghua; but most people speak Putonghua.

Chinas national color is red. Its used for luck. So is the number eight. The number that is extremely

unlucky is the number 4. This is because when you say the character, it sounds like the word death.

How people have changed the landscape of Beijing.

Beijing used to have little population and very little tourists.

The people havent changed the landscape as much as they

changed the things on the landscape. For example they rebuild

some of the 2,300 year old great wall to get more tourists to

come to Beijing. Before, people couldnt take a full- on tour of

that area of the great wall. Like I said, the landscape haschanged by itself but humans changed the things on the land to

get more tourists to the area.

Now that Chinas economy is growing, they are getting more

and more money to repair and change. From March 2007- April

2009 a big fixing of the Forbidden City was taking place. Theywere repainting the entrance. Now MANY more tourists go to

that area. The landscape by itself has made a small change but

the people put things in it to change the area, either for war or

for peace.

small change, big difference

EFFECTS IN THE PAST AND

PRESENT

Beijing has grown enormously since

half a million years ago. It used to be

small villages in areas surrounded by

mountains. Of course this is quite a

while ago. Some people lived in

limestone caves as deep as the widthof an elephant while others lived in

small huts made out of mud, and

sticks which makes a house sturdy

and about 1 ! ft. thick. With square

boulders on top of each other. Each

house had a hole in the roof for when

the people are cooking something

over a fire; the smoke would go right

out of the roof instead of floating

around in the houses. To carry food

and objects, the people could not

weave their own baskets. They made

clay pots which are much heavier

than baskets. They would mostly feast

on seeds, fruits and nuts. During the

cold, harsh winters the fire would be

the main part of childrens and

womans lives. Then during the

summer, everyone would be out and

about. Everyone had their own

religions, own freedom, and own

lives; but worked together to make

each others lives better and easier.

Sharing is caring.

Then everything changed later on

when the city became more

developed. In my opinion it became

better and more sophisticated. They

started electing emperors and people

began having bigger and better houses

with bicycles. Then out of nowhere amilitary officer elected himself

emperor because he thought he could

do it. He began letting in all these

foreigners into China. He thought it

was good for the country. The officer

(also known as the emperor) let the

Indians pour into China. They

brought their religions (Buddhism)

and cultures with them. That began to

give China ideas for new religions.

Chinas main religion wasConfucianism. As a result, the city of

Beijing is now a Buddhism (from the

Indians), Taoism (a religion made

from Buddhism), and Confucianism

(which is straight native to China).

Now the city of Beijing has many

different religions. Thanks to the

people. PEOPLE POWER!

Things not to miss!!

1. The forbidden city- is an amazing piece of ancient Chinese

architecture with an amazing story of history to go with it.

2. The superb wall of China is another one of the top tourist

attractions also because of its architecture and amazing

history, but that is only half of it. The wall was built over2,000 years ago and about 6,300km long and was still

unfinished.

3. Summer Palace is over 850 years old and it was built for the

emperors mothers 60th birthday. Another piece of Chinese

history.

4. The temple of heaven is known throughout China as the

Altar of heaven but can also be referred to as the temple of

heaven and earth. It is the temple that moved the capital

from Nanjing to Beijing in its 18th year. It was used for

offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.

5. Lama temple was built for the same reason that the pyramidswere built. When the emperor died the people placed his

coffin in the temple. Its another place where history took

place.

6. The CCTV building is an eye-popping example of modern

architecture at its best. Its used for news casting throughout

China.

POPULATION AND

RECOURSESThe city of Beijing was established

473B.C 221B.C. It was located in

NE Asia, China. At precisely 39o 55

minutes north latitude and 116o 25

minutes east longitude. 25.9% of

China is over 3,000 ft. and 18,000

km of coastline. People came to

Beijing in the past because they had

food and smaller mountains that

were easy to live in because theyhad caves about half the size of the

average apartment today. Today

people come to Beijing for work.

Many people work in major

factories which produce chemicals,

electronic equipment, farm

machinery, iron, steel and textiles.

Farmers who live outside the big

cities grow things like cotton, fruit,

grain and veggies. They raise

animals like ducks pigs and fish.

Coal factories provide 75% of

Beijings energy comes from coal.

Oil and natural gas also provide

energy. A project to build the

worlds biggest dam in progress.

Beijing has a population of 22

million+ in 2010. The majority of

the people are Han Chinese. Major

industries or businesses include the

media with the main company being

CCTV (which is television),

the press for the evening

news, people daily andChina Daily (which are

magazines). The reason

that people come to

Beijing is more for the

opportunity of a job,

food, and water.

Many people moved

to Beijing for business.

Many businesses grow

there because people know

that there is good business there sothey either changed companies or

the company moved them there. I

feel that they come for a better life

and better business.

95% of the Beijing population is

Han Chinese. They say the Han

people rule China because in the

earlier days everybody was fighting

and the Han brought everybody

together. Now Beijing is one of the

most recognizable cities in the

world. They are recognizable for

their amazing architecture and

historical monuments. Everyone

has a chance to life. If you move

your business to Beijing then you

will become more popular

throughout the world because many

countries trade with China. This

way, you can make a bigger profit.

Persuasive piece:

Beijing is a busy city with

people always moving about. Itslike every person is a bee on the

search for the perfect flower. Now

Beijing is one of the most

recognizable cities in the world.

They are recognizable for their

amazing architecture and historical

monuments. Especially Everyone

has their own religions, own

freedom, and own lives; but worked

together to make each others lives

better and easier. People treat eachother with respect and loyalty. Now

that Chinas economy is booming,

they are getting more and more

money that is flowing into the

country. Its a way to provide more

jobs for people and a way to provide

people a better life.

POPULATION AND RECOURSESWhat do we HAVE and TRADE?

WHAT DO PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THEIR TIME IN BEIJING?When I was in Beijing, I got the most amazing feeling when I walked onto the Great Wall at night. It was likebeing in a big room where I could do what ever I wanted to. It made me feel cozy and comfortable with the dimlight surrounding me. When I first walked on the Great Wall I felt like I had been taken back in time; especially

when you admire the stones that made very interesting Chinese history.

Population and Resources

The City of Hong Kong

Hong Kong was established in year 1841. HongKong is located on the southeastern coast of China.

Most of the Hong Kong is mountainous except for

the lowland areas in the north of the New Territories.

Hong Kong used to be part of China. But now, Hong

Kong is a different country.

In the past, people came to Hong Kong because

of the tradition. The tradition is from the late 1970s,

a lot of refugees from Vietnam came to Hong Kong

for journey and war.In Hong Kong, people came for

the jobs too. People can work for businessman, part-time job, fishing, educating, and other jobs. Some

people also came for better life or studying abroad for

success.

The population of Hong Kong in 2004 was

7,049,000. The major nationalities represented are

Philippines, Thai, Japanese, Indonesian, Indian and

Chinese. Some people visit or live in Hong Kong for

the resources because Hong Kong is part of China

and China has a lot of resources. The major

industries and businesses today include agriculture,

fishing, manufacturing, constructing, business service,restaurants and other jobs.

Today, people choose to live in Hong Kong. Due

to my research, people live in Hong Kong for many

reasons such as earning money (working as hard as a

bee), new life, new jobs, resources and etc. Hong

Kong has lots of opportunities and chances.

Therefore, Hong Kong is now a country that can

make people feel welcome and be helpful to people.

The Land of Hong Kong


9/87

Impact one the Past to Present!Hong Kong used to be a normal country/city like other countries. The

traditional language was Cantonese but majority of Hong Kong people

used Mandarin. There were a lot of traditions like living on the Boat for the

Refugees, Bun Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival etc. Hong Kong used to

trade things with other countries and earned what they wanted.

" The context is in 1839, there was a DEAL between China andBritain " and the deal was The Opium War. The Opium War is countrytrading rights and illegal opium trade. As soon as the deal was done, Britain

had a war with China, which brought Britain to control Hong Kong

because at that time, Hong Kong was part of China. Also Britain wanted

more land so they took part of controlling Hong Kong. The cause is all of these

situations made Britain to take over Hong Kong including Kowloon and

Stonecutters land for about 99 years.!! The effect is since Britain ruled Hong Kong; obviously, some rules orlaws have been changed. Hong Kong has weathered a lot of natural diseases asmuch as the money that rich people have. Hong Kong had an economy

decrease, which led to deaths of almost 300 people including the natural

diseases. After the control of Britain, Hong Kong was as free as pigs.

How have Humans Changed theLandscape

These pictures show how people have

changed the landscape of Hong Kong. Before in

the year 80s, Hong Kong had not much vehicles,

and the decoration was not enough to make the

cinema look more fascinating. The picture in the

past looks old and this street has only a little bit of

stores.

Then around the year 2000, humans changed

the landscape by reconstructing the buildings andaround the cinema, the road was as crowded as it

could be. They did this because to make people

come to Hong Kong by making the buildings

more advanced and fancier. Today, because of

this change, the city of Hong Kong is now like

more improved and looks improved a lot than

before and this picture has a lot of stores.

Memories in Hong KongJohn:

I went to Hong Kong Disney Land with my family. I really wanted to ride the roller coaster

but I couldnt. Because first of all, my brother has acrophobia and my mom doesnt like riding

those scary stuff. Only my dad and I can ride those rides. But unfortunately, my dad couldnt

make the ride. Plus we have to have someone riding together for safety. I didnt have any

companion so I just ate hat dogs in Disney Land.

Sun Joo:

I went to Hong Kong for the choir concert and I had extremely good time in Hong Kong. I

could enjoy the beauty of the view, the malls and the foods in Hong Kong. The prices of the thing

that are in the markets are really cheap and right for all of us. Hong Kong people are really king

and friendly. If I ask how should I go to go this place and they will take you to that place even if itslike 20 minutes and then go back to where they came from. You should visit Hong Kong and feel the

kindness.

HISTORY

Singapore was founded in 1819 by Sir Thomas

Stamford Raffles. In 1826 it became a Britishsettlement. And by 1869 the island was ruled by the

British and had at least 100,000 people living on the

island. The British made the country completely their

own, Building structure and houses of their own.

Anything local or cultural to the island was destroyed,

including cultural buildings and schools. The local

citizens had to work as slaves and workers for the

British. In 1867 Singapore became a crown colony

under British colonial rule.Eventually, the British left due to social and

governmental problems and some Chinese groups

started to immigrate to Singapore. This happened

during the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty, a man

named Sun Yat-Sen founded a branch in Singapore

where Chinese, seeking safety, could immigrate.

Eventually some Chinese ended up staying in

Singapore and the population grew massively.

Singapore started to take in some Chinese culture.

Over the years Singapore had other foreigners visit

the island, but then World War II hit and the British

came back to Singapore to battle the Japanese. The

British commander surrendered and the soldiers were

sent to prison. 25,000 local citizens were killed by the

Japanese.

Many years later a group was formed called the PAP

(peoples action party). It was lead by a man named

Lee Kuan Yew. He was a Chinese man born in

Singapore and wanted a new culture that was a mergeof Malays and the Chinese. But there were many

conflicts on the issue of which country Singapore

should belong to. But then in 1965, Singapore was

expelled from Malaysia and became an

independent country. And Lee Kuan Yew becamethe first prime minister. And because the Chinese had

immigrated to Singapore, thats how the Singaporean

culture was formed. The country has developed a

wealthy clean and wonderful lifestyle.

CHANGES TO THE LANDSCAPE

Orchard Road

Now!

Singapores Landscapechanges

The landscape of Singapore haschanged very much, with new

buildings, hotels, theme parks,

malls, houses and even

subways. People change the

landscape anywhere to make

money, shelter, and sometimes

its used to decrease the amount

of personal

transportation, or tosolve a problem with

the landscape. In

Singapore an example

of a changed

landscape would be

Orchard road. Orchard

road used to be a long

avenue of fruit,

vegetable and spiceplantations and

orchards with horse

pulled bullock

carts pulling

loads of the

fruits and

spices.

The landscape really started to

change there and in Singapore,when lots of buildings went up.

They started putting up houses,

buildings, hotels and even a few

mansions later on. All this really

started to take place in the late

1800s and early 1900s.

Basic Info

Singapore was established in 1819 by Sir

Thomas Stamford Raffles. It was located on theMalaysian peninsula. It was a trading port for

fruit and spices for the Europeans and then later

on it became a British settlement. People came to

Singapore at the time because it was a nice

tropical paradise and also for its trading port, but

British explorers settled there for the nice

tropical weather and if anyone on the ship had

scurvy or a sea sickness it was a good place to

stop to regain their health and strength.People come to Singapore today, not for its hot

tropical weather because the weather there isnt

tropical anymore. People go there today because

it is a wealthy, nice and wonderful environment

and lifestyle. Singapores streets are completely

clean and the airport in Singapore is a port to

anywhere in the world you can go anywhere in

the world from the airport.

Singapores population is rising but right now

its at 4,553,009 citizens; major nationalities

represented there are Chinese, Malay and Indian.

The industrial part of Singapore is very

interesting, most big industries in Singapore are

businesses that were started in the country itself,

like the Night safari and the Singapore zoo, they

are two of the wealthiest industries in Singapore,

but worldwide industries in Singapore include

HSBC, Panasonic and Singapore airlines.

People choose to live in Singapore today for thewealthy and clean lifestyle that you can have in

Singapore. Singapore today is one of the

wealthiest countries in Asia.

Since the ancient times Singapore was a trading center mostly used by fishing fleet and pirates.

Then everything changed when the British took control over Singapore. They controlled

Singapore for over 100 years. Singapore started to gain independence in the 1950s.! During World War 2, the Japanese came and occupied Singapore from 1942 to 1945.When the Japanese left the British came back. The effects of the war were food shortages, prices

for goods were high and there were a lot of strikes.! In 1965, Singapore became independent. Then the British finally left in 1971. It is now astable and wealthy place in Asia. Singapore has one of the worlds busiest ports. Ships from

China, Australia and Japan drop off stuff to Singapore before it gets anywhere in Asia. Singapore

became the key port, which is the worlds seventh largest central location.

Mountains surround it and it is by the

sea. Rome also had an island and a

city on it. Rome is a great place to live

in and visit.

In the past people came to Rome to

find a better life. There were lots of

jobs; so unemployed people came to

find a job like Chef of a restaurant,

working at a clothing store, being a

seamstress, making goods, or selling

anything at the marketplace, or

working with natural recourse such

as wood, clean water, stone, cement,

land and brick. There was a bettereducation in Rome at the time. For

people who lived in Rome never ran

out of food and there was always

water around. Some resources in

Rome are water, mountains, fish,

rivers and lakes, stone and paint.

Rome is one of the best places if you

need to get a job.

Today people come to Rome because

there are still signs of a better life.

Like now there are a lot more jobs still

unemployed people come for jobs such

as working at airports, becoming the

chef, being an actress or actor. People

also come to Rome because there are

landmarks and people get money off

of them by selling tickets or selling

things at landmarks. Some peoplecome because there is still a lot of

water and food and the marketplace is

a big hit. People just come to Rome

and enjoy it so much they stay and

live in Rome. People just love living in

Rome because its a start of a better

life.

The population of Rome in 2005 is

2.6 million. Some nationalities inRome are Jewish, German, French,

and Italians live there. This means

some people come for family reasons.

Most people that live in Rome are

Italians because Rome started with all

Italians; then came other people from

other countries. Most of the people

that live in Rome lived in Europe. The

population of Rome has increased

since 2005 to 2,756,916 now and it is

still rising.

Rome doesnt have any major

industries or businesses today. Rome

has always had small individuals

shops around the city. Some of the

shops are bakeries, clothes stores,

and future stores. Rome needs a

change, Rome needs your big business

to come and earn money and bring

Romes population higher. Rome

doesnt have any big shops or

business so move your big business

here, you will get a bigger profit and

become more popular.

ROME


22/87

Past to presentAncient Rome used to be one of the

most popular cities. Although Rome

was popular, there was never a

permanent leader because there were

murders that killed a leader more

then once. Rome was split up in

wards because the popularity was so

height that they needed groups. Now

Rome is whole, like a loaf of bread, not

touched. Rome also used to be

counted in its on walls for security

that people had to stay in their own

area of the city. Ancient Rome was a

popular and busy city.

The context Is Rome started bringing

other tribes in. One of the tides was

the Etruscans. All the visitors were

under Roman supervision to protect

their city if something goes wrong.

The cause is Roman control over a

tribe called Carthaginians who was

also a height power got out of control

that started war. Rome made a wrong

chose that made conflict that started

war.

As a result, a flame of fire

burned down much of Rome, as war

broke out. The result of that, many

died and many buildings got

destroyed. Now this has created

landmarks like the coliseum and

more. Now this is a city of romanceand shopping. Move your companies

here your get more and wealthier

then you either have.

People have changed Rome in the past by building the Coliseum. In

70 AD Vespasian the empire forced slaves to build the Coliseum. He

did this because he wanted entertainment in his city. Before this

change the city was plan and dual. People changed the landscape by

creating the Coliseum.

This picture is a trail how people

changed the landscape.

The empire build the

Coliseum .Before the land was

flat; nothing on it so the empire

built an entertainment center on

it for the happiness of this the

people. The building started in

approximately 72-80 AD. So it took about 12 years to make. What

was its use? They used it for gladiators to fight until injured or

death. They also put lions Vs

gladiator, till death.

Now it is a tourist

attraction. So shops have

popped up around it like

flowers. The shop owners can

make a better living of the

tourist. Other things that arehappening because of the

Coliseum are people stay at

hotels to see the Coliseum, so

companies get money from it.

THE PAST AND PRESENT OF

LONDON

London is a city made of brick, marble,

wood and blood. Through the alleyways of

south Kensington to the busy streets of West

Minister, London is full of wonder and mystery.

The past of London has been a valuable asset

to English culture and pride.

WW2 kicked of in 1939 when an evil

leader named Adolf Hitler invaded Poland in a

bloody campaign. This caused England and is

allies to declare war on the Germans. But the

war didnt reach London until 1941 during an

extensive bombing campaign spanning 3 years

and the British called it the blitz after the

German campaign called blitzkrieg. The

bombing of the major cities in England cause a

death toll (soldiers on the battlefield too) to

reach 360,000 British lives lost In WW2

440,000 less than WW1. At the end of the war

England had more trouble than they thought;

all the empire was collapsing under its feet! So

what they did was let the countries (India, New

Zealand, Australia, Canada etc.) have their

independence and so the empire was turned in

to the commonwealth. (Like the EU.)

The effect of the war caused England to

lose a lot of its wealth and power over its

empire but another well known fact about

England was that it was full of old buildings

and small roads and not many of them

survived the war unfortunately and paved the

way for new projects and buildings to rise from

the ashes of WW2 and also a very well known

battleship called the HMS Belfast (named afterwhere it was built) that saw battle in the

Mediterranean, Africa, France and Korea.

London has survived the retched grasp of the

German Werchmet air force and tells the tail of

Londons great victory

Did you know that

the running

footman Is still a

bar? And is in

south london? Well

it has a slight few

modifications and

a whole new floor

added. But the

running footman is

still very much the

same building and

same bar. The

original picture

was taken in the

1930s, and the

other in 2000s. but

they show the

change london has

gone through so

many different

things. I think that

it was bombed in

WW2 and had to be

rebuilt and

restored so it had

an extension was

most likelyadded.The running

footman is still the

bar Londoners love

and adore. The

person who posted

the photo said was

also a motel (like

most other bars in

England).

LONDON AND

YOU

London is like a bee hive

full of excitement, a

wondrous and mysterious

place to be with peaceful

rides and scary dungeons.

Through the alleyways

London has been tortured,

burned, plague, and

murdered by centuries of

blood and violence. A

single city, a single

person could change a land

and its people. This city

has had many historical

landmarks and fascinating

museums full of pieces of

art and technology, likethe science museum in

central London. The people

are as inviting as the

country itself with

festivals, races, and

triathlons. Life is a buzz

in London, but in the late

hours of the morning, the

people become silent when

going to their jobs, known

as Londons only quiet

time.

The Indianslived in Miamisterritories for a longtime because it hadamazing vegetationand it was very easy togrow food. Food grewso fast that it felt likeyou would never run outof it. Back then, the

plainness of Miami wasperfect for the Indians.

Then other peoplestarted to come becausethey found out aboutMiamis abilities to growfood and its wonderful,warm weather. In 1896,Julia D Turtle was

convinced that Miamiwas so terrificallywonderful so morepeople deserved to beable to go there and

enjoy theparadise. Theonly problemwas that there

was no way to get toMiami unless you

sailed for monthsand most people

didnt want to do that.So she met up withHenry M Flagler, one of

the only railroadbuilders in Miami andshe explained that inMiami there were only1,500 people and it wassuch an amazing placethat needed to attractmore people. So theystarted to plan onbuilding a railroad to

the other major cities sopeople could gettransported to Miami. Afew months later, therailroad was built.

Suddenly, more andmore people werecoming to Miami.

The population quicklysprung up to 30,000

people and by 1920,110,000 people called

Miami their home.People just keptcoming, and comingand coming so by1950 there werealready 250,000people living there.Then lots of buildings

and houses started togrow there and evenmore people wouldchoose Miami astheir favoritedestination.Miamis populationhas risen because ofone simple railroadthat was built in 1896

Effects OF The Past On The

Present


36/87

HOW HAVE PEOPLECHANGED THELANDSCAPE??

When the U.S.A was fighting in

World War II in 1941, Miami was

used as the training center for the U.S

military. The military was using the

hotels as military barracks so that all

the millions of people who were

fighting in the war could have a safeplace to stay. After the war ended,

the service personnel settled in

Miamis peaceful land. By 1950,

Miami already had 250,000 people

officially living in the city. Thats when

things started getting rebuilt, rNow,

you can see that there are no more

destroyed buildings. Everything is

new and modern. People had to

change the landscape so that it could

suit peoples needs and so that they

could prepare for the future. Because

of that change of landscape in the

1940s, Miami is an amazing tourist

destination and one of the most

expensive cities. All the new

technology gets to Miami at great

prices and in impeccable time. If thepeople hadnt made that change in

the landscape, Miami wouldnt be the

amazing city it is now and it would

not have had such a great economy,

past, present and probably future.

Airport In Miami Before The War

Miami NOW!!!

When walking into Miami, you can

already smell the fresh air surrounding

you and the peaceful sounds of the

trees swaying in the breezy wind.

Before the Indians came to Miami, it

was very plain yet gorgeous. Miami

was as peaceful as the gorgeous

waterfalls in Brazil and as beautiful as

a garden full of bright, sparkly flowers.

The Miami community is formed by

2,253,362 people most of which are

Spanish, Cuban, Haitian, British,

German, American, and Italian. Miami

is full of culture so people from all over

the world can come and feel like at

home. Miami served as a very

important place in the past. The U.S.A

used Miami as a military training center

back when World War II was ongoing

and there were thousands of people

taking cover in Miami. The hotels wereused as army barracks so the people

who were in the war had a place to

stay. Miami is the wonders of wonders

and the beauty of beauty. Come see it

for yourself!

RIO DE JANEIROWhat did You say?

I remember it well; one minuteyou could feel the rush of excitementgo through your body and the next

minute everything is very peaceful asif you were floating on a cloud.

The view up there was amazing, full

of color, bright green trees, and thedeep blue sparkling water againstthe white sandy beaches. I neverthought there would be anything so

calm and pleasant. When yousmell and breathe in that fresh air,the only thing you desire is just tolive in that moment forever. Theonly sound is the rush of the wind

against your face and the sound ofsilk floating against the pull ofgravity.

! Sweet mango, juicypineapple, pulpy oranges,

and more delicious fruits you

will seek to find Rio de

Janeiro. On, January 1st,

1502 was the day the

Portuguese explorers were ina search for different and the

best of the best resources

they could find such as the

sweetest sugar, or the dark

and smooth wood, or it

couldve been the juicy and

sweet fruits. IN Rio, even

more before the explorers

came; there use to be a ton ofhumongous trees that was as

tall as the Eiffel Tower in

PARIS, France. But now a

days, people work extremely

hard and some will actually

not stop until its the work is

finished. The top two jobs

they do are building and

constructing and farming.

One of the places that use to

be downtown of Rio, is

called Parca Maua. This

place use to be very polluted

and such. Now, there are

fewer buildings so that there

wont very much traffic.Come and enjoy this

incredible city yourself! This

is a opportunity you will not

be able to have anywhere

else.

Second, if you would like the earthy feel then Tijuca National Park/Mountains is the perfect place.

There you can enjoy a calm beautiful hike. Or if you would prefer, you can visit the national park

and learn about the interesting history behind the place.

And the last place is a humongous statue called Cristo de Redeemer. Its located on Corcovado

Mountain. This remarkable statue is ninety-eight feet high and weighs 1,145 tons! The purpose ofthis statue was originally to celebrate the centennial of Brazils independence.

People and Resources!Rio de Janeiro, located on the southeastern part down by the coast of

Brazil, was established in 1565. This exciting city borders the deep

blue Atlantic Ocean, beautiful Argentina, Bolivia and even more

beautiful and amazing other countries that also have theyre

interesting and different people. The population of Rio de Janeiro inthe year 2004 was around 5,850,000 people. Most nationalities are

Brazilian, European, Spanish and some Americans. People there are

kind, hard working, entertaining and exciting!

When people first went there, theyre desire was to live a better life.

Also, they had the sweetest fruit of all fruits and the warm shining sun

with a little breeze was like a trip to Paradise Island. Since they were

gratefully given the sweet fruit and other resources such as the most

delicate, dark smooth wood,

the people were able to start a trading business. Now, people

like to visit this place because of the warm weather, all year

long, the fresh air and some to be in more nature. The touristhere are coming almost everyday to see the different cultures

there are in this beautiful world.

For the people who live there, theyre jobs are mostly farming

and construction. The farmers love it here because the soil is

both well fertilized and moist. The recourses they usually grow

are delicious fruits! Now, the people who construct usually

build houses. They work really hard and most get paid very

well.

In conclusion, Rio de Janeiro has amazing land for growing and hard working people. I can unsure

you that Rio de Janeiro will give opportunities that most cities dont have.

!Places You Do Not Want to Miss!In Rio de Janeiro, you really have to visit these exciting and adventures places! First theres the

extraordinary Marcana Soccer/Football stadium! The football/soccer stadium, in 2004, had a

Past to Present!

Before Rio de Janeiro

was a city, it was just some land

near by Guandaro Bay. The

Tupi-speaking Tamie and

Tememio Native Americans

lived a simple life. The land

there was perfect. For both

living and some farming.

Until everything

changed when they came.

They was the Portuguese

explorers. The Portuguese

explorers were coming in

search for some resources, such

as sweet sugar and fresh real

wood, to sell.

It was January 1st

, 1502when the Portuguese explorers

had arrived. It was near the

edge of the southeastern part

of Brazil. Mistaking the

Guandaro Bay as a river; since

the bay/river was never

named, they figured they

would name it themselves.

Many years have pasted

and now everything has

changed. One reason the city

of Rio de Janeiro was named

after the river was because they

renamed the bay and thought

that Rio de Janeiro was a

perfect name for the city near

by. In English, Rio de Janeiro

means River of January.

All in all, the life and

culture has changed in many

ways. The city of Rio de

Janeiro is now a amazing andbeautiful place that involves so

much fun and culture.

Someday I hope I will be able

to go to Rio de Janeiro.

How Have People ChangedLandscape?

Downtown of Rio de Janeiro,there was a traffic jammedplace called Praca Maua in1920. Before, as you can see,there were more roads andcars, and people. Since then,

there had been a changewhere people reduced roadsand buildings. This happenedbecause it looked morecrowed and too muchpopulation. The landscapehas changed with moreapartments, houses, and jobs.

Now, you can also see thatthere is only one road insteadof there being an interstate.People did this because therewas just too much going on inone area and needed to bechanged. This picture wastaken around 2003-2005. Soinstead of keeping so many

buildings, people took somebuildings out of the area.Today, because of this, Rio deJaneiro in now much cleaner.

The country of Korea has such a confusing

history. Japan kept trying to take over South

Korea, and they actually succeeded, even

when South Korea fought back. But if we go

back to the B.Cs you will see that many

countries tried to take over Korea, and Koreahad to fight back to regain the country. For

example, the old China tried to take over

Korea, the Japanese tried to take over, and it

really was hard for Korea because Korea was

right in between the 2 countries-Japan and

China. But in conclusion, Korea took back the

land, and became an independent country,

and set Seoul as their capital.

There are varieties of opportunities or

resources in Seoul. For instance, if you are

majoring in Chemicals, textiles, technology,

Iron and Steel, or if you are good with cars,

you can be a vehicle assembler, etc. You may

also be involved in a telecommunication

service, or a printing and paper company.

There are lots of jobs in stored for you. Also,

you may choose to be a farmer, taxi driver,

subway workers, businessmen, and you also

could have part-time job.

Back to the Basics

YOU KNOW THAT SEOUL WAS A POOR

COUNTRY BEFORE? AFTER THE JAPANESE RULED

OVER SOUTH KOREA, SEOUL REMAINED A POOR

COUNTRY (THIS IS A PICTURE FROM THE YEAR

1969.) THE STREETS OF SEOUL WERE REALLY

POOR, AND ONLY THE RICH COULD AFFORD

CARS. PEOPLE ONLY USED BUSES, BECAUSE THEY

WERE CHEAP. THAT MEANS ONLY SOME HOUSES

HAD COMPUTERS OR TELEVISIONS. THAT ALSO

MEANS PEOPLE DIDNT REALLY KNOW ABOUT

THE OUTSIDE WORLD WHICH COULD AFFECT

THE PEOPLE.

The Han River

From 1969, people started to grow trees, and

the government decided to build roads, and

highways. Also famous companies such as Nike,

Adidas, Prada, Gucci, LG, Samsung etc came in,

and Koreas population grew. Therefore, people

decided to build condominiums, and buildings.

All people have Televisions even if they are

really poor. Also, every house usually has

computers. It is rare to find people without

computers or televisions. In conclusion, Seoul

became a developed city and it became easier for

people to live.

The City Of Seoul

There are also lots of places in Seoul you can go to, while

walking around, touring around the city of Seoul.

The COEX aquarium isone of the places you

SHOULD go to, when

COEX is awesome to

Aquarium, there is anIMAX cinema near by.

IMAX IS JUST

TOTALLY AMAZING.

You watch movies in 3D,

and the screen is just

unbelievably huge!

3. Cycling along the Han

River is really a fun thing

to do if you are a outdoor person. It is

especially fun when you

wake up early in the

morning and jog, or cycle

along the river.

4. Sometimes you might

be able to catch a Hi-

Seoul festival. There are

live concerts, food fairs,

laser shows at nights etc.It is really fun to go to

Impacts of the Past to

the Present

Seoul used to be a very, very poor city. Even poorer

than Afghanistan! But everything changed when othercountries like Japan, China, and Russia wanted to take over

South Korea. The context is that South Koreas economy

was so poor like a beggar on the street, so they couldnt

defend themselves even if they wanted to. In other words,

Korea was defenseless against these mighty countries.

The cause is that Japan, China, and Russia fought

over Korea, and at the end, Japan defeated China and

Russia, and gained control over South Korea.

After 35 years of ruling, Japan surrendered

to South Korea, and so South Korea gained

independence. The President of South Korea,

Park Chung-Hee, helped in making the

economy rapidly grew. The effect is that

President Park Chung-Hee tried to improve

South Korea, and built all the buildings, the

highways. I think that this president was the

best president among all the presidents thatSouth Korea had, because President Park

Chung-Hee wasnt selfish. He was willing to

give all he had to make the country better.

Also, South Koreas technology is rapidly growing and soon

will be more developed than Japan.

Koreas economy was so poor, that many other countries

targeted South Korea. After the battle of China, Japan, andRussia, Japan took over South Korea. But as Japan

South Korea used to be so poor, because of the 2 wars- Japan war, and

the korean war. but now, Seouls technology is rapidly growing.

As soon as you take your first

step from the airplane to the

land of Seoul, you will feel the

difference from the atmosphere

around you. Seoul used to be a

very, very poor city. Even poorer

than Afghanistan! But now you

will be able see the difference by

the luxurious shopping malls, tothe classiest restaurants. Some

major businesses in Seoul are

Electricity companies,

Gas, water works,

manufacturing industries,

wholesale retail,

construction,

transportation, real-

estate, business services,

Finance and insurance

companies and lots

more. And if your

company is a minor

company, you have no

trouble because you will

be able to have a really

easy time to find a place

to set your office up. If

your company is areally big

company,

the easier

you will get an office, set up a

factory, and all those things you

might want to have for your

company. From 1969, people

started to grow trees, and the

government decided to build

roads, and highways. Also

famous companies such as Nike,

Adidas, Prada, Gucci, LG,

Samsung etc came in. And YOUR

company may also be successful

in Seoul because LG and

Samsung started out from Seoul.

So consider coming to Seoul

because it is a technologically

advanced country.

! Sydney. What an extraordinary place to live in.Sydney is located in the southeast coast of Australia, in Asia

pacific. The land is unbelievably large, but all the population

lives in the main cities. Sydney itself has a population of over

4.4 million! If youre planning for a trip to Sydney or to

any part of AUSTRALIA, be sure to know one thing. Its

summer during Christmas, and winter during June~July, so

pack up accordingly. The average temperature for a year is

between 7-13 degrees Celsius, so its not like THAT hot- but

just a bit humid.

You dont need to worry about communication, because the

majority of people speak English; however, about 20% of the

people speak Chinese, Italian, Greek, or Arabic at home. So,does that mean that not a lot of people are Christian? No, the

official religion of the Australian people is Christianity. The

Anglican and Roman Catholic church has the most members.

Theres a special tradition going in Australia called

Australia day, where the people celebrate the past, present

and future of the Oceania. Parades and celebrations are held

that day. Some holidays that are held in Australia are:

Australia day Jan 26

Boxing day Dec 26

Anzac Day April 25
