THE IMPACT OF THE
PAST AND THE PRESENT
! Before, Melbourne used to be a smalltown owned by traditional settlers such as
Aborigines of the Kulin Nation, the traditional
owners.
Then everything changed when John Batman
came in 1835 and bought around 240, 00
hectares of land from the Aboriginal leaders.
The concept of buying and selling was new for the
Aboriginal culture. They received tools, flour, and
clothing as payment.
The trading was very one sided and the people who
bought it got much richer, and wealthier, compared tothe Aboriginals.
As a result 10,000 Europeans living in the area in the
1840s eventually got wealthy from the gold fields
built around the city. While the Aboriginal people
due to the loss of their land, had lower population.
Other Aboriginal people were killed in violent battles
over the rights of some land, a vast number also died
from hunger because they had no food as they rely onnature for their food source and living. Lack of food
and water also ut them at risk of man diseases or

Anecdote: Werribee Open Range Zoo
! I just love going to Melbourne WerribeeOpen Range Zoo! When my family strolled inside
the zoo everything was just so natural, and
miraculous, because there were lots of intriguing
trees, and different types of fascinating animals. But
it was just beginning to get better because I bolted
into a safari car and the worker took us to a wide-
open place where we could see giraffes, zebras,
hippos, lions and other interesting species close up. I
loved when we got to the zebras because feeding
them was really entertaining, but also unpleasant
because the zebras ate it like they havent eaten forcenturies, and all the spit, muck, and liquid from the
food kept bursting out.! My family especially enjoyed petting theanimals; after taking a tour around the zoo, the
worker took us to a souvenir store. The souvenir
store was tremendously wide because it took me
awhile to find my way back to the main entrance! I
really loved the store because for instance, there
were a lot of stuffed animals, the workers were really
polite, and there were a lot of souvenirs to pick! I
will never forget my trip to the Melbourne WerribeeOpen Range Zoo!
The businessman and explorer John Batman established the city of
Melbourne in 1835. It is located at Port Philip Bay, in the southeast of
the continent. Port Philip Bay lies just across Bass Strait from
Australias island state of Tasmania. In the past, people sailed toMelbourne because the Victorian Gold Rush was happening and
people wanted to get some land and resources. Today people come to
Melbourne because it is safe and clean, living is affordable,
transportation and driving is comfortable and nice, health and
medical care is reliable, there are a lot of job opportunities, and the
crime rate is very low, the city ranks highly in international research
on livable cities, and education and childcare is highly excellent.
Currently in the city of Melbourne, there are 3,850,000 million
people living in Melbourne. There are 60 different nationalities and
there are multiple religions; but the most common religion is
Christian, Muslim, and Jewish. The major industries and businesses
today are the automobile industry, financial sectors, information
technology and tourism. Today people choose to live in Melbourne because there are a
lot of opportunities, safe, good education, healthcare is reliable, childcare is highly
excellent, and living is very affordable. Therefore Melbourne is now one of the best livable
places in the world. If I were to choose a country that is comfortable, less pollution, affordable
living, a lot of job opportunities, and medical care is reliable; I would choose Melbourne with no
doubt.

Did you know that Bangkok currentlyholds the Guinness record for having
the longest name of a place?Apparently Bangkok is just the shortversion because the citys ceremonialname is Krung Thep MahanakhonAmon Rattanakosin MahintharaYuthaya Mahadilok Phop NoppharatRatchathani Burirom UdomratchaniwetMahasathan Amon Piman AwatanSathit Sakkathattiya Witsanukam

services in Bangkok, many people want
to live there. Right now, there are about
10 million people in Bangkok. Bangkok
has a true international culture with a
sizable population of immigrants from
China, Japan, India, America, Europe,
Taiwan, South Korea, Nigeria,
Malaysia, and Singapore. In the year
2011, Bangkoks economy had been
highly damaged by the flood that had
quickly spread all over the city. Theflood disaster had been described asthe worst flooding yet in terms of theamount of the water and peopleaffected. But the good thing about theflood is that now, people are moreaware and prepared for any future
natural disaster. After the flood had
been stopped, Bangkoks economy hadrocketed with many new shopping
malls and buildings. The newlyestablished airport in 2006 had attractedmany travelers to come to Bangkok.
Many feel that Suvarnabhumi airport
will be at the center of Thailand's
growth and economic development. So
dont miss the feeling of the rich taste
and the beauty of this city now.

Ten years ago, Thailand had value forest
and natural resources. There were
barely any natural disasters so nobody
was afraid. Rice fields are being cropped
properly with no problems and new
factories are being built. Thailand was a
wealthy country with many new citiesand buildings being built. Bangkok is the
business heart
At the end of July, 2011, triggered by the
landfall of Tropical Storm Nock-Ten, and
the storm caused a huge flood. The
flood soon spread through the
provinces of Northern, Northeastern,
and central of Thailand along the
Mekong and Chao Phraya river basins. In
October, flood water reached themouth of Chao Phraya and inundated
parts of the capital city, Bangkok. There
were three areas that caused the flood.
Expanding of the cities, deforestation,
and the climate change. First of all, the
expanding of cities had really caused the
flood. The government had many
projects to build several of new
constructions in major cities and urban
areas. The land that once used to be
empty was now filled with roads and
buildings. The problem is that projects in
several areas were not set up with a
suitable system of drainage. So when the
monsoon came, the water cannot be
drained and it will eventually cause
flooding. There were also many people
that invaded into the forest. They had
cut down many trees that were never
regrown. There were both legal cutters
and illegal ones. Eventually, there were
not enough trees to absorb rainfall. All
of those problems had eventually caused
a flood.
The flood disaster had been described
as the worst flooding yet in terms of
the amount of the water and people
affected. The World Bank had estimated
for this disaster to be the worlds 4th
costliest disaster as of 2011 surpassed
only by the 2011 earthquake and
tsunami in Japan, 1995 Kobe
earthquake, and hurricane Katrina in
2005. The World Bank had also
estimated 1425 billion Baht (US$45.7
billion) in economic damages and losses
due to flooding as of December 1,
their homes and lost the ones they
love. More than 500 people died.
Floodwaters have swamped more than
two-thirds of the country, submerging
rice fields and shutting down hundreds
of factories while over 900,000 families
and businesses have been impacted andhundreds of lives have been tragically
lost. It was the worst flood since the
last 50 years.
The Environment
The environment in Bangkok had
changed a lot because of the airport,
Suvarnabhumi Airport. Many foreign
investors, and visitors come to Bangkok
and they are filling up the airport of
Don Mueang. So the government
decided to start building a new
airport, Suvrnabhumi Airport. The
new airport was designed to protect
from the flood and various natural
disasters. The airport is located in
Racha Thewa in Bang Phli district,
Samut Prakan Province, about 25
kilometers (16 mi) east of
downtown Bangkok. The nameSuvarnabhumi was chosen by King
Bhumibol Adulyadej and refers to
the golden kingdom hypothesized to
have been located somewhere in
Southeast Asia. The place that used to
be patty field is now a newly established
Suvarnabhumi Airport.
The former Prime Minister, Thaedksin
Shinawatra, completed the construction
of the airport after the 30 years ofplanning and debate. The airport had
officially opened a week after Thaksins
government was overthrown. The
airport is one of the worlds largest
airports. The airport includes 130
passport control checkpoints for
arrivals, 72 for departure, 26 customs
control checkpoints for arrivals, 8 for
departures, 22 baggage conveyor belts,
and 360 check-in counters. There are
100 additional counters for passengers
without luggage, 107 moving walkways,
102 elevators, and 83 escalators.
Suvarnabhumi Airport have an advanced
airport information and management
system (AIMS) costing 2 billion baht,
replicating that of Athens International
Airport, which is recognized as one of
the most modern airports in the world.
One of the most modern airports in the
world, Suvarnabhumi Airport is
equipped with advanced technology to
help provide accurate and speedy
information to enhance the safety andcomfort of air travelers. The airport was
officially opened for limited domestic
flight service on September 15, 2000
and all international commercial flights
on 28 September 2006. Suvarnabhumi is
the 6th busiest airport in Asia, and the
busiest in the country, having handled
47.9 million passengers in 2011. The
airport has the world's tallest free-
standing control tower (132.2 meters /
434 feet), and the world's 4th largest
single-building airport terminal (563,000
square meters / 6,060,000 square feet).
! The study noted that without anew airport, Thailand's economy in
general, and the country's travel and
tourism industry in particular, would be
much affected. Many feel that
Suvarnabhumi will be at the center of
Thailand's growth and economic
development. It is expected that during
the first five years of operation
Suvarnabhumi Airport could occupy
twelfth or thirteenth place as growth in
the commercial airline industry rises
rapidly in the Asia Pacific region.Because of this airport, it is easier for
the visitors to travel around the city.
When they arrive, they could take the
Airport Like (Sky train) that connects
with the airport to the main citys Sky
train, BTS.

King Rama 1 founded the city of
Bangkok in 1782. The Thais were
originally from the Yunnan River,
China. First the capital city of Thailandwas Ayutthaya, and then the Burmese
robbed and destroyed it. So then the
capital moved to Thonburi but that
didnt last for long. After that the capital
city, Bangkok, was finally established.
Bangkok is located in the central of
Thailand so that it has full protection
from other city surrounding it. For
example, the flood in 2011, the
governments did the very best to protect
Bangkok by trying to move the water
way so that Bangkok doesnt get
damaged. The Chao Phraya River,
which is the biggest river in Thailand,
passes through Bangkok and that is a
good water source.
Bangkok is a major center of the cutting
and trading gemstones and also a
production of high quality of gold. They
also produce silver jewelry. Since
Bangkok is the capital of Thailand,
there are many buildings, supermarkets,
and public transportation for people to
access easily. So many people come to
Bangkok because of the good resources
of food, easy access public
transportation, many good schools and
shopping malls. Everywhere you walk
in Bangkok, you will find a restaurant
so it is easy to find places to sit and
dine. There are also many foods on the
streets, which are cheap and delicious.
And also there are fresh marketseverywhere and are cheap. Thailand is
known for its famous cuisines,
traditions and architecture. Many
foreigners come to try out the cuisines,
and go to temples. There are many good
schools and universities since primarily
to graduate. There are also hospitalseverywhere, both private and public.
The doctors and nurses and the staff
generally speak good English. There are
a lot public transportations like the
Skytrain, MRT, Taxies, Buses, Tuk Tuk,
underground train and the Airportlink.
So that if you take the trains, or
skytrains, you dont have to fight
through all the traffics. In Bangkok,
there are also many shopping malls with
amazing designs and new items and
also many famous brands. So people
would love to move to Bangkok.
Because of the good services in
Bangkok, many people want to live
there. Right now, there are about 10
million people in Bangkok. Bangkok
has a true international culture with a
sizable population of immigrants from
China, Japan, India, America, Europe,
Taiwan, South Korea, Nigeria,
Malaysia, and Singapore. Bangkok is
also believed to have approximately
400-600 illegal immigrants from
Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma), Russia,
Ukraine, Pakistan, Nigeria, India,
Bangladesh, China, and so on. 95% of
the Thais are Buddhist. The Thais got
their religion from the past generations
of the Chinese. King Rham Khamhaeng
introduced Thai language in 1283, the
language consists 44 consonants and 48
vowels with 5 different tones makingfor it hard to learn.

started the Cultural Revolution making the
days of the Chinese dim and lonely.
However, today, many people from othernations enjoy living and visiting Beijing.
In fact, the population of Beijing is 17.4
million people now. From 17.4 million
people, 5.1 million, which is nearly 30%
of the Beijing population, are migrant
workers. The Great Wall of China, one of

Beijing was like a freedom place. Until
Mao Zedong established the first Chinese
communist government on October 1st,
1949.Peole were able to live peacefully in
their daily life. In fact, the Cultural
Revolution originated from here.
Then everything changed. The communist
government tried to create a new society, he
was aiming to restore capitalism. Becauseof that, for ten years between 1966 and
1976, chairmen Maos Red Guards tried
to destroy traditional customs including
books and clothes. Factory owners had
more power and workers were paid to
produce more. This is called as the
Cultural Revolution. People who had
foreign connections were treated viciously
while musicians, dancers, surgeons, anduniversity professors were moved to the
borders of China where they were forced to
do work.
Then everything changed, in 1977, Liu
Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping, then the State
Chairman and General Secretary, favored
the idea that Mao should be removed from
actual power. Then, nationwide pay was
raised. In addition, government allowed
the return of markets, which Mao closed
during the Cultural Revolution.
Consequently, farmers were able to produce
various different types of food, and made
more money by themselves in their own
land. Also they were willing to harder as
they benefited from it directly.
As a result, the city of Beijing population
went down and even the ones who
survived, left China shortly after the
revolution was finished. Also most of the
economic activities stopped. Cultural
Revolution brought up a huge number of
Red Guards who protected Mao and
destroyed various amount of ancient
buildings, artifacts, books, and paintings,etc. Furthermore, Chinas education
system was brought to nearly close
down. The university entrance exams
were cancelled after 1966 and werent
restored until 1977. Cultural
Revolution was one of the awful things
that happen in Beijings history.

! What do you think the wall in the picture is?Can you believe that this is the Great Wall of
China, one of seven wonders in the world? This isin Mutianyu and called as Mutianyu Great Wall,
which was made on March 2008.At a glance, it
looks like an antique tower that went through a
long battle.The way is blocked with rocks falling
apart and building jumbled with dirt. It seems that
the wall is about to fall down. In fact, this was built
in the 5th century BC.It is so old and damaged
now that no tourists would want to visit.
To our surprise, the Great Wall of China has
recently changed its face from before.Another
picture on the left displays the new Wall whoserenovation was completed on April 2009. More
amazing is that all this change happened in only
one year! The structure of the wall became tourist
friendly and more secured. In addition, the city
government added more blocks to places that were
missing and broken before. They cleared out the
way and cemented a whole chunk of blocks to
make it look better. The city government sought
these changes in the Great Wall of China becausethey want the Wall to represent true Beijing and so
that more tourists willvisit the city. If the Wall
turns into a tourist friendlier, neater and cleaner
place, then more people from other countries
would also come to see it. Then, Beijing would be
more famous and many people would want to live
there.

Different sections of Beijing'sGreat Wall satisfied many of my
different interests. The greenery
around me enchanted my path. I
was inspired by view of the high
mountains. It helped me become
fit and refreshing. This is not all, I
was able to reflect on Beijings

The Great Wall has the pure

to Dubai because of the culture and the nice
homes to live in. Dubai has a lot of major
industries like, petroleum, aluminum, cement,
fertilizers and petrochemicals that help bring in
the money. Their farmers grow dates, vegetables,
and watermelons along with raising poultry for
eggs and dairy products. They also build ships,
sell handicrafts and textiles. In the past Dubai
was the place where oil was discovered and so
Dubai became really rich because of the oil. They
started developing from a desert to a really big
city. The religions in Dubai are mostly Islam.

THE IMPACT OF THE PAST ON THE PRESENT AND
POPULATION
The Impact of
the Past on the
Present : Dubai used
to be a small fishing
town dependent of Abu
Dhabi until 1833, it then
became a British
protectorate in the 19th
century. Dubai became
an important port of call
for the British to use for
their steamers to get to
India. In 1971 Dubai
became part of United
Arab Emirates. In the
early 1960s oil was
found, and in 1966 their
production of oil began.
In 1971 they announced
an oil field and a
supertanker dock was
constructed. As a result
of the discoveries from
1970- 1990 greatly
increased the UAE's oil
and gas reserves. By
1992 there were 4 oil
producing emirates that
had produced an
estimated total of 98
billion barrels of crude
oil. They also produced
5.2 trillion cubic meters
of natural gas reserves
resulting in their ability
to sell their oil and
natural gas to other
countries which made
them rich.

JERUSALEM HISTORY EFFECTS
Before the Arab Israeli war, Jerusalem usedto be containing mainly Jewish people. The city ofJerusalem had over 300 landmarks and touristattractions including the old city, the temple Mount,and many, many more. Jerusalems population wasaround 746,400 people in 1945. There were wide-open pathways to walk and Israel had open borders.They had all those things all the way up until theArab-Israeli war in 1946.
Then, everything changed in Jerusalem.There were troops from surrounding countriescoming in through their open borders and the nextthing they knew, over ten of the Arab states ofJordan, Yemen, Syria, and Egypt were going againstthe idea of Jewish settlement in the middle east.Most of this was happening because no Jews hadever been to the Middle East and the other countriesbelieved that no one would. Most of the surroundingcountries of Israel were made up of two mainreligions. Christian and Muslims.
The Arab-Israeli war was by far thebloodiest war that Israel has ever fought in. Thoughthis war didnt really harm Jerusalem in any way
really because most of the fighting was justhappening around the borders of Israel. Mostlybecause Israel was able to keep the Arab states out ofthe country. Though there was a chance of Arabtroops invading other parts of Israel though. Buteventually, the Arab states werent able to end upconquering Israel. And just like the rest of theupcoming wars later on in the century, Israel won theArab war.
As a result, Jerusalem is now its ownindependent city containing 3 different religions.Two of which settled in Israel during the war theChristians and the Muslims, in which came from thesurrounding countries of Israel. Jerusalem now has
the name of the divided city because eachdifferent religion has its own quarter. The Jewishquarter contains most of Jerusalems landmarks.Jerusalem is one amazing city. You might not haveknown, but Muslims and Jews do not get along wellbecause of an ancient rivalry. Yet they still have toshare a city. But remember, there was only one thingthat caused this: The Arab Israeli war.

! The city of Jerusalem wasestablished in the 4th Millennium BCE. It
is located in the Middle East of Asia and
East of the Mediterranean Sea. Jerusalem
is one of the oldest cities in the world.
Modern Jews descended from Israelites
and Maccabees. Abraham (the father of
the Jews) was sent to Israel by god in the
4th Millennium BCE. He was a famous
man and had many followers who tended
to follow Abraham to Israel.
! In the past people came toJerusalem because Sir Abraham had over
100 followers, who had all followed and
claimed they were sent to Israel by god as
well. Jerusalem was then ranked the #1
holiest city in the world. Many more
religions moved into Jerusalem to support
their gods, though most of them came
during the Arab Israeli war in 1947. The
city attracts many tourists with their
temples, churches, and synagogues. The
most major businesses revolve around
services, such as schools, tourism,
religion, and government. Business plays a
fairly small rule in Jerusalems economy.

Must dos in Seoul:
The Amazing Seoul!
I will persuade you!
! Visiting Seoul is like a fantasy coming true right in front of you!It used to be united until the war when the place got destroyed. The Koreans
just couldnt agree with each other coming from the 2 different parts, so their
second instinct was just splitting up after the 1st option (which was war) failed
and didnt lead to anywhere. It was like waking up an innocent sleeping baby!
But, with the faithful yet strong citizens, Seoul managed to become itself again
and keep fighting till the end. Seouls vivid variety of 10,627,790 people help
in keeping your company in the hard times and share the good times with you
too!
The modifications in the City were enchanting! For ex: Seoul City Hall,
built by the Japanese during their brutal annexation of the Korean Peninsula
used to be a very important building where Japanese and Koreans used to do
their official and financial work etc. So previously, if you just strutted in like
you were going for a picnic, they might have just shot you, but now they wontbecause of the eventual transformations! Seoul is like a bowl of sweet and sour
soup and you can never be sure of the adventure that awaits you, so get ready
be indulged by the city that may eventually become your home town!
SEOULAnd the amazing wonders hidden behind
this elegant name!
The National flower of South
Korea is Mugunghwa (rose ofSharron).

How the Past affected todays life in
Seoul
Korea used to be a united, peaceful country. People from north andSouth Korea used to work as a team and worked together. Korea used
to be beautiful and was the site of the worlds fair. It had towers anold building and it was the ultimate city everyone wanted to visit.
It was all going well until USA came to war because Korea was becoming powerful and they thought Japan was next,and since USA traded a lot with Japan they had to stop this. In 1950 the war officially began.
Actually, Korea was split up into north and south after the Korean War, the North having a communist governmentand the South a democratic one. The Koreans just couldnt agree with each other coming from the 2 different parts, so their
second instinct was just splitting up after the 1 stoption (which was war) failed and didnt lead to anywhere. They made Seoulthe capital upon the founding of the Joseon After extensive searches, the founding king, Yi SongGye, decided to build his capitalwhere today's Seoul stands. The decision was based not only on the city's geographical location in central Korea, but also using the prevalent geomantic principles of the time. It was morepeaceful there and the perfect spot!
However, the effects of war were terrifying. There was unemployment and so many people had to quit their jobs to besoldiers and ended up losing their lives. There was poverty and families got split up into North and South Korea. More than100,000 were killed and the country was split up into two devastated pieces of land.
After this sudden war, the countries ignored each other but till date, the North Koreans have been trying to take
control. Recently, one of the main leaders; Kim Jong Il died and that gave the South Koreans a slight spark of hope but northKorea is determined to fight and its not over at least not yet.
Where in the world is it!?!?!

(INTRODUCTION)
Korea in general used to be very eco friendly and clean. People usually took good care of
the earth and it was a very fresh and friendly place to be. But in recent years things havebeen changing. People started cutting down trees for industries and building and they started
projects to help Korea develop more. People also changed the city for money because after the
war, they were becoming poorer and poorer so they needed more inhabitants to come and
start making businesses in Korea. Before, Seoul wasnt the ninth largest consumer of the ozone
(depleting chlorofluorocarbons) layer but now, it is! Korea intends on spending 194.4 billion
won ($193 million) on fixing and rehabilitating the city.
Seoul used tohave
minimized
buildings and
there werent
too many of them as you can see in this picture. Today,
there are soil erosions and flooding because of
deforestation, pollution, too much land use and less
habitat preservation. In North Korea, before the warstarted, they built a dam at the base of Mount
Kumgang (1638 meters deep). It caused consternation
in South Korea during the mid 1980s. In 1987 the
Kumgang San Dam was a major issue because it took up a lot of space and impacted the environments.
Now days as we can see, technology really affects and changes the environments.
Do you see the difference? The same exact same
place! But since more people are coming in everyday
and new businesses are starting, it has entirely
changed and taken anew form! This picture was taken
in 2003! Since more people have moved into Seoul
overtime, There is more traffic, additional high rise
building, less urban surroundings, climate changes
and a lot more. Actually the climate changes are
affecting the water supply and food security. Weather changes have been noticed and more diseases are
spreading and if we want to make a change and save our planet, we have to make that change NOW!

PAST AND PRESENT
Kuala Lumpur used to be nothing but a muddy place in
the middle of Klang and Gombak River. Theneverything changed in 1857 when Raja Abdullah and
his brother (Raja Jumaat) sent 87 Chinese laborers up-
river in search for veins of tin. They found some tin in
the meeting point of the Klang and Gombak Rivers and
named it Kuala Lumpur (muddy confluence). Kuala
Lumpur became a tin mining town and was know as
The land of gold. Kuala Lumpur was packed with
more and more Chinese laborers brought in after many
had died from mosquito-borne, malaria. Kuala Lumpurbecame a busy highway with boats packed with miners
moving upriver and boatloads of tin being sent. As a
result, the city of Kuala Lumpur was rebuilt as a new
and popular city and is now the capital of Malaysia.
In the 19th century many Indians came from South
India too, fleeing a poor economy. Indians were mainly
brought in by the British to work in the rubber industry.
Kuala Lumpur is now a multi-cultural city. Its made
up of Muslims, Indians and many Chinese. The
population is now reaching over a million people and
has about 1,580,310 people. The most famous mall in
Kuala Lumpur is The Petronas Towers that was built
with Islamic structures. The building is built with
blocks of the Islamic star. Kuala Lumpur is a great
vacation and tourist spot now.

Kuala Lumpur is a like a hot cup of
nasay lemak from all of its steamy,
attractive surprises! It used to be
known as The land of gold. The
resources Kuala Lumpur had and still
has (tin, water, fertile land, etc.) are
the jewels of the city. The sources
brought many people to Kuala
Lumpur from different places and
added a variety of colors to the city.
K.L had a population of about
1,580,310 people. Kuala Lumpur
used to be packed with miners but
now its packed with buildings and

1857 when Raja Abdullah and his brother
(Raja Jumaat) sent 87 Chinese laborers
upriver in search of veins of tin. Kuala
Lumpur was located in the meeting point ofthe Klang and Gombak rivers where some tin
was found. In the past people came to Kuala
Lumpur because of the tin and its richness,
and Kuala Lumpur was known as The
Land of Gold from its tin supplies. Many
people also came for its valuable natural
resources (water, fertile land, trees, forests,
mountains etc.). Today people come to Kuala
Lumpur because of its tourist attractions(Petronas Towers, etc.), malls, modern
structures, education (schools), restaurants
and because it is well maintained. People
come because Kuala Lumpur is warm and
sunny all around the year and has no very bad

Kuala Lumpur due to its resources,
opportunities and attractions. Kuala Lumpur
is a wonderful place for everyone. There are
variety of jobs to chose from, many tourist
attractions and proper maintained hygiene and
space. In the 19th century many Indians
came from South India, fleeing a pooreconomy. Indians were mainly brought in by
the British to work in the rubber industry.
Therefore, Kuala Lumpur is now a multi-
cultural city. Its made up of Muslims,
Indians and many Chinese. Its one of the

Kuala Lumpur has really changed!!!!!
Soon, Kuala Lumpur was established as a city. Kuala
Lumpur used to be packed with miners but now its
packed with buildings and more buildings. It doesnt
look the same anymore! There are more buildings, more
attraction and more structures. Humans have used the
resources and made a lovely city! The most famous
towers in Kuala Lumpur are the Petronas Towers thatwere made with Islamic structure to honor the Islamic
religion. The Petronas Towers are built with blocks of
the Islamic Star. Kuala Lumpur has really developed
from the old days. A small mining city to the capital of
Malaysia.
Kuala Lumpur was a large muddy area that wasnt
even noticed at first until 1857 when the Chinese came
in to mine for tin. As the tin got dug and taken, many
people settled in this land. Many traders like Indian
Muslims came and soon established an official religion,
Islam. More and more traders came in making Kuala
Lumpur a trade mart/center and bringing more
cultures in (Hindu or Tamil, Muslim, more Chinese).

MOSCOW RUSSIA ! MARCH 1, 2012
Past to presentMoscow!!!!!!!!!!!!!Moscow is located at theNortheastern part of Russia. Moscow,
in the days of the Czars, was the Trad-
ing post of the Northeast on the banks
of The Volga River and was also the
capital city of Russia. After WWII,
USA and Soviet Union emerged as the
two superpowers. Many countries were
supporting either of the superpowers.
Moscow virtually became the center of
half the world. Its beautiful towers
stood for years without complaint. The
city itself attracts people by the thousands. It boasts one of the best and
longest subway systems in the world. It also has the palaces from the time of the Czars such as Kremlin, and
beautiful churches. The communist government built beautiful and broad boulevards and infrastructure. Moscow
was the center of the superpower fighting for supremacy in space, military and global influence. Moscow was a
very busy but calm and quiet place filled with people.
Then everything changed, towards the end of the Cold War (1986 onwards). The Soviet government started
spending too much money on weapons, and the Space Race. Since the soviet government owned everything, the
country was closed. Their trade with other countries was mostly in the Barter Way rather than cash.
The people started to get unhappy that their government was not providing them with enough food and health -
care. On the governments side, they were using the money still for the country to outpace the Americans. Since
the Soviet government started using too much money on weapons and the Space Race, all services and standing
military were starved of cash and support. The military police that were controlling the people of countries under
soviet rule started to become weak. The government was not spending enough on the military and the salarieswere not being paid so the morale became low. Within Soviet Russia, people were unhappy and distressed, as they
were not taken care of. The Russians were protesting in the streets of Moscow.
Soviet Union was made of many countries not only Russia. These were Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia,
Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
When the revolution in Moscow began, the people of these countries stared to declare independence, as the con-
trol from Moscow became weaker. Meanwhile, the effects of this action by the people, was so powerful and fast
that the Soviet Union did not even have time to recover. Finally, on December 25 1991, for the last time the Soviet
flag flew over the Kremlin and Soviet Russian president stepped down. A new president was elected, and the new
Russian flag flew over the Kremlin. Soviet Russia had collapsed and the countries that were under Soviet rule
were free and formed into separate countries. As a result, the city of Moscow and Russia had a big struggle recov-
ering from the complete collapse for the next ten years.

MOSCOW RUSSIA ! MARCH 1, 2012
People of Moscow
Moscow is situated on the banks of Moskova River. It lies in the western part of Russia, in the Euro-pean part of the country. The first reference to Moscow dates from 1147 when Yuri Dolgorukiy called upon
the prince of the Novgorod-Severski to come home, brother, to Moscow. Nine years later, in 1156, PrinceYuri Dolgorukiy of Rostov ordered the construction of a wooden wall, which had to be built multiple times,to surround the emerging city.
Its favorable position on the head waters of the Volga River contributed to the steady expansion. Moscow de-veloped into a stable and prosperous city for many years and attracted a large number of refugees from acrossRussia. By early 15th century, the population surpassed 50000 people. Contemporary visitors said Moscowwas awesome, brilliant and filthy. The city was resilient against fire, famine and fighting. In early 17th century,its population topped 200000 making it the largest city in the world.In the early 1930s Josef Stalin launched an industrial revolution, instigating a wave of peasant immigration to
Moscow. Moscow became a centre of military industry. During the Cold War, the aerospace, radio-electronics
and nuclear weapons ministries operated factories and research laboratories in and out of the capital (Mos-cow). By 1
