Well, if you haven’t, let me tell you about Singapore. Singapore is an island city. Its population is about three millions people. Most Singaporeans live in high-rise apartments.<br />Uhm…Singapore is a beautiful city with lots of parks and open spaces. It is also a very clean city. You know, the business district is very modern, with lots of tall and new buildings.<br />Now, </span> let me tell you about the old section of the city. In Chinatown, there are rows of old shop houses. The government buildings in Singapore are also very unique and antique. They date from the British colonial days.<br />Shopping! Wow, this is the part that I like very much! Singapore is famous for its many good shopping centers. Most of the goods are duty free. It’s a heaven for shoppers!<br />What about food? Uhmm ..yummy..yummy. It’s delicious. Singapore’s restaurants provide Chinese, Indian, Malay, and European food, and the prices are quite reasonable. I bet you’ll like it.<br />Well, since Singapore lies near the equatorial line, of course, it has a tropical climate, with a nice weather in both dry and rainy season.Chuz.iem@http://www.blogger.com/profile/02342918948066299992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412533665602770163.post-71739318185357242252011-03-17T18:24:00.000-07:002011-03-17T19:30:28.160-07:00Niagara Falls<span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><br />Niagara Falls is a famous area of waterfalls. It is one of the most beautiful natural wonders of North America. It is on the Niagara River, about halfway between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The Niagara River forms part of the border between Canada and the United States. At Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada is on one side of the river, and the U.S. state of New York is on the other side.<br />Niagara Falls really has two waterfalls. The Horseshoe Falls are in Canada, and the American Falls are in the United States.<br />The Niagara River drops into a steep gorge or canyon, at </span> the falls. Most of the water flows over the Horseshoe Falls. They are not as high as the American Falls, but they are 2,600 feet (792 metres) wide–about 0.5 mile (0.8 kilometre). The American Falls are about 1,000 feet (305 metres) wide.<br />Beyond the falls are the Whirlpool Rapids. There, the powerful swirling water has carved a bowl out of the rock.<br />At night, coloured lights shine on the thundering falls. About 10 million people visit Niagara Falls each year.Chuz.iem@http://www.blogger.com/profile/02342918948066299992noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412533665602770163.post-68895306601482309342011-03-17T18:22:00.000-07:002011-03-17T18:24:07.367-07:00Easter Island<span class="fullpost"><br />Easter Island is in the South Pacific, 3,700 kilometres from the coast of Chile. On the island, there are 600 large statues. We don’t know who built them but they were probably constructed between 1150 and 1500. We don’t really know why they are there. The Easter Island.</span><br />Norwegian explorer, Thor Heyerdahl, believed that they were built by people from South America. To prove this, he made a simple raft and sailed there, all the way from Peru.<br />Archaeologists think that the statues represent dead tribal leaders. We don’t know why the statues left alone on the island. Perhaps they were killed by disease or war. Perhaps the builders used all the natural resources on the island. There are many unanswered questions about Easter Island.Chuz.iem@http://www.blogger.com/profile/02342918948066299992noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412533665602770163.post-78974977419715268672011-03-17T18:20:00.000-07:002011-03-17T18:22:26.125-07:00Borobudur Temple<span class="fullpost"><br />Borobudur is Hindu – Budhist temple.
