'Welcome to Riyadh' (Corrected)

The Capital of Saudi Arabia, with 4 million inhabitants (2003 estimate), is situated in the very interior of the country, 300 km from the Persian Gulf , and 900 km from the Red Sea.Originally Riyadh was located along a green river bed, which in addition to sources of underground water allowed a rich agriculture. With extreme expansion in the area, all natural water has long since been allocated for domestic use and in industries.The economy of Riyadh is connected to the national administration, financial activities and other services. Industries include food processing, an oil refinery and chemical and plastics factories. Riyadh is the transport hub for the entire kingdom, both with excellent highways, the rail to the Dammam and the King Khalid International Airport, which hosts the majority of international flights and connections to all other airports in the country.Riyadh is largely a very modern city, dominated by high-rise buildings along boulevards. Some quarters are dominated by less impressive modern buildings from the earlier stages of the modern era of the kingdom. Most of the traditional quarters have been torn down, but some of the historical buildings have survived, of which the 19th century Masmak Fortress is the most noteworthy. Riyadh has one of the fastest growth rates of any city in the world. The original population, of Najdi ancestry, has long been blended with groups from all over Arabia, as well as foreign nationals.The older quarters of Riyadh are known as al-Batha'a, which also provides what may be called a city centre. The main business and residential areas are the Olaya and the Sulaymaniya

The town has origins that they date back to again at a millennium before Christ.

Bologna was always an important old city centre also in the epoch of Romans.

Bologna is famous for her beautiful arcade("portici"is the original name)and also for Two Tow

Towers: the Tower of the Asinelli is high 97 meters and the Tower of Garisenda is high 48 meters.

Bologna is also rich of churches between the most important there are the church of "San Petronio and Santo Stefano.

I only illustrated a very little part of this wonderful city and I hope you like it.

Malaysian Foods : Where Did it Come From ?

Nasi Lemak Coconut-Flavored Rice Meal.

'Diversification' is the key word when we talk about the traditions of Malaysian food, because Malaysian foods are very culturally and ethnically diverse. In this discussion I would like to give a talk about it through multi-ethnic in Malaysia: Malay, Indian and China. We do start with the civilization of Malay food.


In terms of history, Malay are origin of Sumatra, Java, Thailand, Sulawesi and also Polinisia. With the influence of these countries, it is not hardly astonishing that Malaysian cuisine exhibites a lot of qualities from these countries.

Here, some example :

If we go to the south of Malaysia, state of Johor where I was born, there are so many the village of Java and Bugis people who comes from Indonesia.

Now we travel to the State of Melaca to know about the historical development of the Chinese nation. The influence of Chinese has started to spread in the 15th century. It begans with a visit by Warlord Mr.Yin Ching and Chinese Cheng Ho.

To be continued....

My Home Work Dammam City

Dammam (Also Ad Dammām) (Arabic: الدمام‎) is the capital of the Eastern Province in Saudi Arabia.
Dammam is the largest city in the Eastern Province; Dammam Port is one of the largest on the Persian Gulf. Its port for import-export traffic is second to Jeddah's port.
It is served by the new King Fahd International Airport, which is about 20 km to the west, served by a three-lane highway. Other cities that surround Dammam are Khobar, which is a thriving modern economic hub, and Dhahran, which is the headquarters for Saudi Aramco, the largest oil company in the world, and Qatif, the populated fishing and agricultural town.
Together (Dammam, Khobar & Dhahran) the cities have a population of around 2 million, of whom 750,000 live in the city of Dammam itself. The local sports stadium is Prince Mohamed bin Fahd Stadium.
The city is located in eastern Saudi Arabia, with 744,321 inhabitants (2004 estimate). It is the capital of the Eastern Province with 3.3 million inhabitants (2003 estimate). Dammam lies on tip of land stretching out into the Persian Gulf, forming a large metropolitan and industrial area, with about 1.2 million inhabitants, together with Khobar, Qatif and Dhahran. Dammam is a major seaport, involved in a wide variety of export and import. It is a center for petroleum and natural gas, but also the center of all commerce in the eastern parts of the kingdom. There is some agriculture, largely dealing with livestock and dairy products. Dhahran has excellent connections with other urban centers of Saudi Arabia by highways, and is also linked to Bahrain with a causeway. Dammam is also the terminus of the railroad to Riyadh. The King Fahd International Airport is shared by all the cities in the region. Dammam is a modern city, but has seen less investments and fewer projects than Khobar.

The cities of Dammam, Al Khobar and Dhahran
In the early 1980s Dammam, the capital of the Eastern Region, was a separate city but so close to Al Khobar and Dhahran that the traveler could pass from one to the other in a few minutes. Al Dammam was first inhabited by a clan (Al hassan) of Al Dawasir tribe in the early 1923 - 1342 H. part of the family led by Sheikh Ahmed ibn Adbullah ibn Hassan Al Dowsary migrated from Bahrain and was given the chance to choose a land where to settle by HRM the late King Abdulaziz. Al Dammam was immediately chosen for its vicinity to the island of Bahrain as the clan hoped to head back there soon, but the British rule in the region made it very hard for them to move in every sense (dividi et impera) so they finally realized they had to settle there for good. Years later, Sheikh Ahmed's brother moved south where he and his family settled in Al Khobar, which by that time was already inhabited. However this tiny episode gave to Khobar a population boost and close ties with the bigger city of Dammam. The origins of the name "Dammam" is controversial, some say that it is onomatopoeic and it was given to the area because of a drum positioned in a nearby keep, when sounded for the alarm it produced a melody called "damdamah", others say that the name was given according to the Arabic word "dawwama" (whirlpool) which indicated a nearby sea site that Dhows usually had to avoid. The weather of Dammam is particularly very hot in summers.It is also very humid in those days and the humidity ranges from 65-95%.However in winter the temperatures can drop to -4 degrees Celsius.
With the continuing expansion of all parts of the Kingdom, the three towns inevitably merged into one, creating a single municipality known as the Dammam Metropolitan Area. Each of the three towns which compose the Dammam Area retain their own character and some local administrative functions but, in terms of its place in the Kingdom, the Dammam Area forms a single administrative entity

My Hometown Kangwon-do

Hi, I'm sunyoung. My hometown is the northeast province of kangwon-do which is one of the least populated, most mountainous and scenic in South korea. Historically , the province has been isolated due to its rugged terrain, and during the korean war it was the site of many fierce battles for strategic mountain tops. After the war, the area’s rich natural resources, including coal and timber, were industrialised, bringing road and rail links.
Outdoor activities come here, Wonju and then enjoy their spectacular mountain and valley hiking, swimming at beatiful white-sand beaches, white-water rafting, all of which are accessible by bus.

My home town Seoul (Mu il Suh)

Origin of Name The name of Seoul comes from the ancient word 'Seorabeol' or 'Seobeol', meaning "capital" Seoul belongs to the Temperate Zone featuring four distinctive seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. In the middle of summer, the city often records daily highs of over 30 degrees Celsius. In winter, Seoul is geographically influenced by the expansion of the Siberian high pressure and prevailing west wind with temperatures dropping lower than other regions on the same latitude. The rise and fall of the high-pressure system causes a typical cycle of three successive cold days followed by four warmer days, relieving people from freezing temperatures.
Korea is one of rapidly growth citiesin short time. A few ten years ago, Seoul had destroyed perfectly by korea war. However national initiated recomstructed. Now Seoul has a lot of skycraper and became energetic city. These development with rest place transformed. Up to now traditional royal place and structure make a composure impression on a people.

My Home Town (Hitomi)

Hi, I'm Hitomi from Japan. I'll introduce my home town.

The city where I was born is Tokyo, the capital of Japan, but I grew up in Osaka. So I'd like to talk about my home town, Osaka.

Osaka is located on the main island of Honshu, roughly in the center of Japan. It is common to devide Japan into the east part and west part. Then, the biggest city in the east part is Tokyo, that in west part is Osaka, which means Osaka is the second in Japan, in spite of being the second smallest prefecture by size. So the city centre is always crawling with people.

Talking of culture, Osaka is famous for 'Owarai' which means a culture of gag and comedy. This is why most people in Osaka are very frank and friendly. Many young people aim to be a famous comedian and enter a training company for comedian. In addition, there are also intresting food culture, so we can enjoy eating many local foods in Osaka. The most popular local food is called 'Takoyaki'(the picture below), made by flour and octopus. I recommend eating this one time. If you don't intend to visit Osaka, I'll make this for you.

Osaka is bound up with Kyoto and Nara, famous for Japanese traditional culture like temple, because they are located next to Osaka. Therefore if you want to visit Osaka, you should visit there at one time. I am willing to guide my hometown if you want to come!

My home town

Hi,I'm Martina!
I come frome Rome in Italy.I really love my city because it's a place in which you can see past and present at the same time.If you walk among the streets of the city centre you could see a stone that apparently is only a rock but that really is a piece of column dated from the roman imperior!In fact I think that neither all the people who lives in Rome,as me,know all the historical places in the city.
The other face of this aspect is that Rome is always full of tourists and there is always a lot of traffic because of this:especially at time as 8am or 6pm you can't go out of your home if you don't want to take 1 hour for 3km;and it's impossible take a bicycle because of the many slopes...Rome is building on seven hills!
I can't explain in these few lines all the characteristics,the monouments,the history of Rome...the only way to have an idea of what it is and of who its people is,it's to come there and see with your own eyes!So go and visit Rome!

My home town

Hello, I'm James, and I'd like to introduce you to my home town.

The town where I was born is called Felixstowe, and is on the east coast of England in the county of Suffolk. It's set between two rivers, the river Orwell and the Deben, and like a lot of the coastal areas in this region is famous for its esturies, and the old pubs that you can find along the rivers and coastline. Felixstowe really has three parts. Firstly there's the seaside with its pier (like Brighton) and amusement arcades and spa gardens. Then there is what's known as 'Old Felixstowe', which is the well off traditional part that includes a golf course, and is very quiet and residential. Finally, there's the newer part of town where the container port is. In fact, this port is now the largest container port in Europe, and has brought a lot of jobs to the town. A few other facts about the town; it is famous for having had the first radar in the world (during the second world war), it's close to Ipswich which is the local football team that everyone supports (winning the UEFA cup twice), and until the 1980s Felixstowe had its own bomb disposal squad due to all the second world war bombs that continued to be found along its coast!

If you are still curious about Felixstowe and have any questions, please blog me and ask. I'd be happy to tell you more.
