Madrid was already a
pretty wealthy city long
before, because of the
Spanish Empire, and then
the economy boomed
even more after the
Spanish Civil War. The civilwar outburst was caused
due to a rebellion from
General Francisco
Franco, and also due to
unchecked violence in
1936. Gen. Franco, the
Spanish national forces,
Italy, Germany, and
Portugal supported
Gen. Franco’s revolt.
They supported him with
ammunition, troops,
bombs, and tanks.
The last part to the civil
war was in Madrid. After
heavy bombardment
Madrid could hold nolonger, and General
Franco’s troops were
able to come and take
over the city. They
booted out President
Manuel Azana, and
Franco installed himself
as dictator.
After his installment asdictator,
Madrid’s
economy
started to grow
even more.
Franco
planned and
industrialized
Madrid. Due tothat cause,
people from
the rural areas
like Barcelona, Valencia,
Zaragoza etc. moved to
Madrid.
It wasn’t until the 60’s
until Madrid reached its
full potential. From then
the city had modernarchitecture, continuous
flow of tourists, and the
city was growing
wealthier by the day.
Now it is the city with the
highest GDP in Spain. It
also became one of the
most important countries
in Europe because of the
cultural, economic,
industrial, educational
and technological
growth within the last five
decades, because of
Franco’s revolt and
modernization plan of
Madrid. Madrid nowdays hold the, plane,
chemical, electronic
devices,
pharmaceutical,
processed food, printed
materials, and leather
goods industry, all thanks
to the civil war.

Population and Resources in MadridMuhammed I in 852 established the city of Madrid
in order to build a fort. Madrid is located in the middle
of Spain, and is on a high continental plateau, this is
important because high areas such as Madrid are good
for building fortresses. In the later years people from
Tuscany, Italy started to travel to Madrid, and then
when the Roman Empire reached its height, it used
Madrid, in order to defend the Iberian Peninsula. When
the Roman Empire fell, the barbarians (Visigoths) came
and took over Madrid. In the middle of the 20th
century, after the Spanish Civil war, people from the
rural areas of Spain, migrated to the North of Madrid
because of the thriving Middle class communities.
Today, some of the popular jobs in Madrid include,
industrial workers, lawyers, doctors since the following
major industries, such as airplane, leather goods,motor vehicles, electronic devices, pharmaceuticals,
printed materials, chemical industry, are all in Madrid.
Also, Madrid has a set of excellent universities for
students who are willing to go to college in Europe.
People nowadays choose to live in Madrid because
at night it is very calm. People there like to go out and
have a sip at the bar. Also, Madrid has a lot of
affordable luxury villas, nice culture, lots of exciting
sport (soccer, and bullfighting), and admirable art,
architecture, and fashion. Lot’s of students, local and
international, live in the Madrid area because of the
Universities.
Now, the effect of Madrid having many job
opportunities, good schools, and dependable
communities, is he population swelling to 3.15 million
people and counting. There are different nationalities
represented in Madrid, including Catalonians, Spanish,
Portuguese, and American, etc.
WHAT CHANGED THE LANDSCAPE
Football and the Spanish people are inseparable.This article shows you how love for the game offootball changed the landscape of one of themost popular cities in Europe, that is, Madrid.

!One of the things people didto change Toronto’slandscape is to build the CN
tower. People built the CNtower because theTorontonians had a desire tobuild a large TV and radiocommunication tower. TheCN tower was built back in1976 and before the CNtower was built, the skylinewas mostly small buildingsexcept for some tall officebuildings but when theTorontonians built the CN
tower, the skyline looked
taller and more modern withthe tall building. The CNtower makes Toronto
different today because itmakes Toronto seem modern,because a lot of the moderncities have a lot of tallbuildings and it makes theskyline seem taller. That isone of the things thatchanged Toronto’s landscape.
! Another thing thatchanged Toronto’s landscapeis the sport stadium,
Skydome. The Torontonians
built the Skydome becausethey had a smaller stadiumand they wanted to build abigger stadium to holdbigger events and morepeople. The Skydome wasbuilt in 1988 and when it wasbuilt, it changed thelandscape because theskyline seems more lit up,due to the lights inside thestadium and the spotlightsgoing into the sky at certaintimes. The city’s landscapehad changed due to the
Skydome because it lights up
the city because of thespotlights and the lightsinside the stadium. That isanother way Toronto‘slandscape was changed.
! The city of Toronto was originallyestablished in 1793 and it was named York.In 1834 it was called Toronto. It was foundand established by Governor John GravesSimcoe because he believed it would be agreat location for the capital of UpperCanada and thought the location would beless vulnerable from attack by Americans. Itwas first named York after Prince Fredrick,Duke of York and Albany. The city wasnamed Toronto by the Huron tribe whichmeans “place where trees stand in water”.Toronto is located in Ontario, off the coast of Lake Ontario. Some opportunities in Toronto
are education, housing andjobs. Some resources inToronto are oil, fresh water,sweet water fish andbanking. Some of the majorbusinesses in Toronto arehome depot and universityof Toronto bookstore. It hasexcellent public transportsystem and it is the culturalcapital of English Canada.Because of all these things,the population of Toronto is2,503,281. The nationalitiesin Toronto are English,French, Chinese, Irish,Scottish, Pakistani, SriLankan and Indian. Peoplelive in Toronto because it is
the business and financialcapital of Canada. Those aresome facts about thepopulation and resources of Toronto.

T O R O N T O G U I D E
! In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s,
Toronto was an important city. It was a
major banking and marketing center of the
west and it was the center of industry and
transportation in Canada. It also had rich
metal and it was an important railroad
center. When World War 2 occurred some
good things happened. There was a rapid
population increase of people that weremostly European. This happened because
the Europeans wanted to get out of their
country due to World War 2. There was also
an industrial expansion. Because of the
rising population, Toronto created the
Municipality of Metropolitician Toronto
(MMT), and that lead to some important
changed to the city. One important change
that happened is that Toronto built the
world’s 1st computer-controlled traffic
system. That affects life today because if
they didn’t build the MMT, Toronto would
be like a traffic madhouse. Another way it
affects us today is that they built a lot of
houses to hold the growing population, and
if that had not happened, we would have
less houses for the people that live in
Toronto. Another thing that the MMT didfor Toronto is they supplied them with
more water. That affects us today because if
it had not happened, Toronto, in later years,
might be like the Sahara desert. Those are
some things that affect us in the present in
Toronto.

Comments by Citizens"“Paris is the most beautiful city in the world, because of its wonderful buildings and monuments. It has a very
interesting history and there is a lot to learn about here. I have lived in Paris for over 4 years and have been as
delighted as always to have a job, home and family here in Paris. There are many good opportunities for a
variety of things, such as jobs, companies, schools, homes and many more.” –Pierre
“Paris is a city of lights, love, good food and wine, and it is a city of culture.
The artists here are the most famous ones, such as Monet, Manet, Degas,
Seruat, Cezanne, Rodin, and a few others. Living here is a tremendous
experience. Honestly, I have to admit that Paris has the best shopping
experiences anyone could have. They also have food that delights anyone,
with a rich experience once they have a bite, no matter if it’s big or small. The
French dessert that I adore the most is profiteroles because as soon as you plop
them into your mouth, the creamy goodness fills it up and the ice cream adds a
touch of flavour to the melted chocolate as you take each bite making the chocolate taste delicious with the
dessert you are eating. Since, I have been traveling around the world for over 7 years now and my main home is
here, in Paris, I prefer it here than all the other countries I’ve stayed in the past.” -Andrea
Fantastic Profiteroleswith creamy vanilla ice
Paris is the city of lights, if you’ve been dreaming of a place to relax, shop, and

wondered of what paradise looks like, then you need to go to Paris. It is located in the
central northern part of France. It has 2 islands, Ile Saint-Louis and Ile de la Cité.
Paris has many wonderful, interesting monuments and places to go visit. The food

precious dreams will come true. If you were bored on a lovely day, people would

A little about Paris’ History
Discover How People Have Changed the Landscape of ParisThese pictures show how people have changed the landscape of Paris. Before, in the
middle age when the Champ de Mars was established by achurch community as a parkland, it served two abbeys thatwere located on the border of Paris. During the 18th century,
the park had been appropriated in the name of the state, forthe purpose of assembling the École Militaire.(Military School)It got its name as a reference from a Roman god of war.Before, in the year 1765, the Champ de Mars was closed to thepublic and only available for military use. The Military schoolwas built for cadet officers from poor families as an academiccollege. Just before the French revolution in 1789, the Champde Mars began opening to the public. Then in 1790, it hadbeen used to celebrate the constitutional monarchy of France.But during the year 1791 the park had been used as a rallying
point when a group of Parisians wanted a petition (A formallydrawn request, often having numerous#names of those making the request, that is addressed to a person or a group of peoplein authority or power) to remove King Louis XVI from theoffice. During that rally many people were massacred since thesoldiers opened fire on the crowd. After that the Champ deMars remained opened to public, and the city of Paris made ita place where people like to go, beautifying the place: theyplanted more trees, and added opened grass. Despite thisdeadly event, people still visit the park and is quite a popular place that tourists go andvisit. One of the major changes of the Champ de Mars was the construction of the Eiffel
Some IMPACTs of the Past on the PRESENT
Paris used to be plain; had no tall monuments, short houses/buildings and didn’thave many tourists. In the late 1800’s Paris was completely renovated. Under NapoleonIII, Baron Haussman made a plan to beautify the city by repainting shabby hovels andhacks making them into shimmering 6 and 7 story high, white stone buildings. He
made big parks with beautiful green lawns, with nothing interfering with its view. After
hat, Paris had become a classy center for arts and cultures. Some of Paris’ scenes havebeen immortalized by works of painters, meaning they made them immortal, living forever; never dying, and remembered forever. Then everything changed when theEiffel Tower was built. It was built for the World Exhibition in 1889, but a lot of the Parisians complainedabout the monument. Some said it was too high and that it created a big shadow over the houses andbuildings. It was actually the world’s tallest building from 1889 to 1930! It is the world’s most visited paidmonument and the tallest building in France .The Eiffel Tower was only meant to stay for the duration of he World Exhibition, but Gustave Eiffel (the creator) spent a lot of money to build that monument and leftt. The Eiffel Tower was built on March 31st 1889, and took 26 months to complete. It took about 18,000
parts. There were 3,000 workshop drawings; they had 700 engineering plans, and 2,500,000 rivets to raise
his monument. It weighs 7,300 tons and it measures 1,050 feet long! Since the Eiffel Tower becameopened to everyone, tourists began to come. France was making money and the Eiffel Tower became avery famous landmark. On the 20th of November 1913, the Eiffel Tower was used as a giant antenna toexchange wireless signals with the U.S Naval Observatory. (In Arlington, Virginia) Today the Eiffel Towers one of the main attractions for tourists and is still used for radio transmissions. Imagine Paris without the
Eiffel Tower! There would be fewer tourists since; there would be less to see.

Dubai used to depend on gold and
pearls for money. It was a successful portcity by the early years of the 20th century
full of ships and a souk (market in Arabic)full of merchants and shops. They started
to explore for oil and in 1966 theydiscovered oil in the area. They decided to
export the oil for money and they wereable to build more and more buildings.
Today, Dubai is a major exporter of oil.Dubai is producing 240,000 barrels a day.
In ranking, it makes the third most oilproducer in West Asia ranking below Iran
and Saudi Arabia. In the world, it is ranked
as the sixth largest producer of oil. Withthe money from exporting oil, the growthof the city is multiplying and many grand
developments are being built like the BurjKhalifa which is the tallest building in the
world, the Jebel Ali Palm Island which is
made entirely of dug out sand from theocean and can support buildings and
houses, an indoor ski slope in the middleof the hot scorching
desert and a five star deluxe hotel called the
Burj al-Arab. Dubai hasa GDP per capita of US
$36,175.966 and wasranked as the fifth
richest country in 2008.That is how the
discovery of oil affected
the Dubai today.
The PAST and the PRESENT
DUBAI
Resources and the PeopleThe city of Dubai was established 224 AD when the Sassanids occupied the area.Since it was located near the sea, it was used as a trading post later on in the 7thcentury. In 1894, Sheik Maktoum bin Hasher al-Maktoum declared a tax exemption
for foreign traders which made people flock to the area.Today, oil is extracted after the discovery of oil in 1966 which can be sold for a
massive amount of money. In Dubai, their major industries are construction,
engineering and the extraction of oil and gas. People come here because it is a safe
place because the government implies strict consequences for committing crimes and
there is no income tax.
The population of Dubai today is 1.3 million which represents: 17% Emirati, 9.1% other Arab
countries, 42.3% Indian, 13.3% Pakistani, 7.5% Bangladeshi, 2.5% Filipino, 0.9% European, 0.3%
American and 5.7% other countries. It’s like one flavorful cake!

This is how people inDubai have changed the
landscape. In the year of 2000, there were no artificial
islands. Then by 2002, they
started to make artificial
islands. They made theseartificial islands by collecting
sand from the ocean andpilling it all in an area using a
hose. It makes an arc when it
sprays over the specified areaand it looks like a rainbow.
They finished one islandnamed ‘Palm Jumeirah’ in
2007. They did this because
they want people to buyproperty on the island. The
developer of these islands isgovernment owned so when
people buy property on the
islands, the money goes to the
government. Today, becauseof this, it is an icon of the city
because these islands arefamous around the world for
its shape and tourists go to the
islands which is an opportunityto make money which is why
many companies flock
here.

Worthwhile places to go!Burj Khalifa
The Burj Khalifa is the world’s tallest building.
You can take a tour up the building and see
Dubai up high. It gives a adrenaline rush
looking down but you get a beautiful sight of
the city.
Ski Dubai
Ski Dubai is at freezing temperatures in the middle of the desert!
People come here for all year round skiing. For experts, come and
conquer the high slopes!
Wild Wadi Waterpark
Wild Wadi is located next to Burj al-Arab and Jumeirah beach resort. It is home to
the fastest water slide out of North America with a speed of 80kph!
Desert Safari
This desert safari includes a ride on car through the beautiful sand duneswhich feels like you can crash but it is completely safe, a traditional Bedouin
style dinner, belly dancing and a night in a tent.
Burj al-Arab
Burj al-Arab is a classy and luxurious hotel which was rated as
a ‘5-star deluxe’ hotel but when a British journalist came, she
named it a 7 star hotel. A 7 star hotel seems much more better
to some people than just a 5 star hotel. Also, playing tennis on
the helicopter pad is a unique experience!

Wild Wadi Water Park and beat
the heat of the desert. “My most
unforgettable experience at thewater park was conquering the
Jumeirah Sceirah. You go down
at a whopping speed of 80kph!
It was the thrill that made the
ride enjoyable. This ride cannot
be compared to anything in the
world! The staff was really
friendly and helpful when I gotlost and there are much more
rides which are good for young
children. I think this is a ‘must-
go’ place in Dubai.
Andrew says that the
highlight of his travel to Dubai
was looking at all the projects
going on at Dubai. “When I first
arrived at the airport of Dubai, I
was astonished at the design of
the airport. It very modern and I
have not seen another airportlike it. I asked my taxi driver on
the way to my hotel about the
projects they have going on. He
said to me “The airport is just
the beginning”. I was surprised
at what they have built! At night
time, the dazzling lights are a
sight to see. The one that stoodout for me was the Burj Khalifa.
It is the world’s tallest building
and resembles a needle. I
thought it was a feat of
architecture. I am an architect
and I come back to Dubai often
for inspiration for my projects.

of Seoul which respects the

Seoul became the Star in

This paragraph will tell you about how
people have changed the landscape of Seoul.Before, in the year of 1969, Seoul was like a very undeveloped city with not a lot of businesses, small buildings, still farming,
and the buildings were built sidewaysbecause they had enough land becausebefore Seoul didn’t have a lot
businesses, so they didn’t needed a lotof buildings. Then, around the year 1975,
people in Seoul changed the landscape by constructing gov ernment buildings, and business
buildings and the people in Seoul w as forced to build these buildingsbecause in that time Seoul was being controlled by the Japanese. Today, because of
this change, the city of Seoul is now like Singa pore or United States because of all thebusiness buildings that made the economy go up. People say that Seoul is one of thebiggest cities which is full of business buildings.

IMPACT OF THE PAST AND THE PRESENT
This paragraph will tell you some in-
formation about the impact of the past on the
present. Seoul used to be a not fully formed
country with low technology and had no
power, so it was conquered by Japan. It had
a lot of resources for instance, wheat.
Seoul became allies with America
because of the Korean War (June 25, 1950
to July 27 1953) as a result, Seoul became
the capital city of Korea. .U.N made an
agreement with Seoul that America will sup-
port Seoul, but Seoul can’t make weapons
without their permission, so as a result, Seoul
got a lot of help from America and the U.N.
Seoul was part of the Korean War, so
the buildings were destroyed. Seoul rebuilt a
lot of new buildings and persuaded other coun-
tries to make business in Seoul. Seoul tried to
make new businesses for instance LG and
Samsung. Seoul also made more places for the
tourists to visit.
Seoul is now a developed city with a lot
of buildings. The working city Seoul has a
popu-
lation of 10.7 million peo-
ple. It’s full of business
buildings. It has a lot of Land-
marks to visit. Seoul is restless because even at
night or midnight the buildings are ongoing
and
the stores are mostly 24 hours because if the
business people work until midnights than
they will have to eat at midnight, so the stores
have to be open and that’s why the stores are
all opened even a midnight.. Today, because of
all the things that was done in the past Seoul is
now an industrial city. Even though Seoul is
one of the wealthiest cities in Asia, it’s still
trying to develop more.

Have you been to Hokkaido? If you haven’t, then I can teach you about Hokkaido. Hokkaido is
located near the sea, and it is important because Hokkaido has a lot of food that are can get from
the sea. It means Hokkaido has lots of seafood, so many people can eat lots of seafood, and it
famous in Hokkaido, too. After the war, people began to build much more buildings, tall buildings,
and other structures. By the many more buildings, the Sapporo got many famous places than
before they change Sapporo city, so Sapporo changed their images. It means that the Sapporo
become much more commercials city, by they got many more buildings. Meiji’s government have
came to Hokkaido, and they started develop Sapporo in Hokkaido. And Hokkaido is still
developing, and it will continue to develop by the people. So if you have been or visited there in
the past, then you can go and see how Sapporo changed, and there will be more new things, too.
And if you wanted to know some things about Sapporo, then I think maybe you can go to
Sapporo and look some other things what I share with you by your eyes, so that you can
understand more things about Sapporo in Hokkaido.
I asked my father and my friend about Sapporo in Hokkaido. My friend said
she enjoy going to Asahiyama Zoo in Sapporo because she likes to see the
seals. She also went to a hiking park where people can see animals walking
around the forest and a waterfall. On the top of hill, there is an observatory
where people can view sceneries and different sights.
I asked my father has been Sapporo also. He said there were many kinds of
food. For example beans sprout, noodle soup, seafood, Genghis Khan, sea
urchin, salmon roe, herring, and kelp. Small red beans, milk, cheese, white
chocolate, corn and rice are also popular in Hokkaido.
So they said Sapporo is a good place to go. And there are many people living in Sapporo, but not as crowed as Tokyo.

Hokkaido used to be a mean city because in the old time, when
the Russian and other international people came to Hokkaido for
they to talk about their future and trade their things, but theyweren’t admitted to enter because of Hokkaido’s policy. So
Sapporo missed to talk with them about the future. But Meiji’s
government starts to develop Sapporo in Hokkaido. Then many
things were changed. Then the people found there are many
natural resources in Sapporo. For example irons, and steels. People
started to work in coal mining, and paper manufacturing. After
World War II, Hokkaido’s economy developed very well, and
Hokkaido founded huge natural resources than before, too. As a
result, the city of Sapporo is now developed more than before
Meiji’s government come to Sapporo and develop Sapporo. And people made new roads, new airports,
and new harbors. Hokkaido is still developing, and it will continue to develop by the people. So if you goto the Hokkaido, then you can see changes of Sapporo. And if you have been Sapporo or visited Sapporo,
then you can see the change of there and maybe you can describe the changes.
History of Sapporo
I’m going to write about Sapporo in Hokkaido. It is a city found in the
northernmost part of Japan. The population of Sapporo as of 2010 was 1,896,207, and most of the people speak Japanese,
but many people in Sapporo are Ainu. People there believe in
Buddhism, Shinto, and Christianity which was introduced by
William Smith Clark. Sapporo has many greens. For example
river, and forests. The average temperature of Sapporo is 8.5
degrees in each year. There are four seasons in Sapporo,
which are spring, summer, fall, and winter. During winter,
Sapporo gets a lot of snows, so the winters are very cold, long,
and harsh. Sapporo has many famous festivals, but the most
popular festival is the Sapporo Snow Festivals which happens
at beginning of February each year. The main attractions inthis festival are snow sculptures like palaces, giant pyramids which are made by ice,
and some Japanese cartoon characters which are made by ice. Other
famous festivals in Sapporo are the Lilac Festivals in May, the
Yosakoi-Soran festivals in the beginning of June, and the Clock
Tower Festivals in middle of September. I tell you what is Clock
Tower. Clock Tower is the tower with the Clock. It so simple!!
There are also famous landmarks in Sapporo, like the Sky
Resorts, the Clock Tower, and the Agency of Hokkaido. The famous
foods in Sapporo are melon, salmon and some seafood, rice. And milk. Sapporo is
also famous for bears, cows, and horses. So I will tell you that Sapporo is a goodplace to go for people who likes snow or who likes to play with snow because
Sapporo has most long winter each year than some other city in Japan. So they can

I’m going to write about the changing landscape of Avenue Park in
Sapporo city in Hokkaido. Avenue Park was constructed in 1912 and it was
renovated in 1926 and 1989. The first time, Avenue Park only has small buildings,
not much green gardens, and it was a residential place. Then they began to build
much more buildings, tall buildings, and other structures. Because they wanted it to
become a commercial area, so that they thought there will be more people. But many
buildings which were built in 1926 are not here in Avenue Park anymore. There are
much more structures, for example, a fountain, more plants, more trees, more tall
buildings and more new buildings, more people, and a tower. There are many new
buildings. And there is many buildings for the commercial and more buildings for the business. They
changed their landscapes because the buildings were very old for that time and they wanted Avenue Park
to have a new image or to become popular places. Today Avenue Park is totally different than before they
change Avenue Park. Because today’s Avenue Park got more buildings or more new things, and it shows
how Sapporo city has changed by 1926 and 2011. And if you have been to the Avenue Park before it
changes, then you can go and see ow Avenue Park changed in the years.
My city is Hokkaido. People start making Hokkaido at 1950. Hokkaido is located near the sea, and it is
important because Hokkaido has a lot of food that are can get from the sea. It means Hokkaido has a
lot of kind of foods that are seafood. People came to Hokkaido in the past because they wanted to talk
with them about their future or what they are going to do for help the country at the Hokkaido. Some
good things in Sapporo are that the economy is very high, and the government is very good and nice.
Hokkaido has many different kinds of resources. For example the clock tower,
marimo, salmon, scallop, Ainu, and some other things. Hokkaido’s businesses are
basically about environment. And they have some other
businesses. For example work at the ranch, farming, work for
sightseeing, and fisherman. 5,521,534 people are living in the
Hokkaido and there are many Ainu people. This was known
by 30, September. 2010. Hokkaido has to have good manners.Hokkaido’s nationality is the constitutional monarchy. And
Hokkaido’s governor is Harumi Takahasi. Harumi Takahasi is
helping Hokkaido to develop well, controlling Sapporo, and
saving Hokkaido. So the people who are living in the
Hokkaido can live happily, and it will be affect for the people
who will come to the Sapporo or visit to the Sapporo in the

! Hi everybody, my name is Leamas Grant, andI am one of the lucky citizens of London here to sharean experience of mine with you about London. Thissubject was too elementary for anybody! Let me dothe honor of telling you the time I moved here.Straight from the airport I wanted to explore the soonto be my permanent home. With my brother Charles,we took a taxi cab to the London Eye, for he was just
begging me to go there the entire plane ride. At theLondon Eye, I have to tell you, my brother did not exaggerate when he told me that I would be amazed by the beautiful view. After that, we ate a scrumptiousLondon delight, which were fish and chips. The foodwas so tasty that if we left it alone all the ants in theworld would fight over just a bite of the meal! Iordered that about three times. Back to theadventuring, Charles agreed to visit one of Europe’sproudest collections of sea life, The LondonAquarium. The London Aquarium was just
bewildering and bursting with beauty! We decided togo to the indoor SEGA theme park, which by the way,is the largest one in the world! That place was pretty chaotic, but that was part of the fun! Could you imagine a Sonic the Hedgehog roller coaster?Because I could not believe my eyes! At the end of theday, we checked into the hotel even though we did not eat dinner, because the lunch still made us feel like a pig stuffed with delicacies. Quoting Frank West,“London is like a diamond in the brightest light… it shines so brightly and is a very valuable jewel. If you get lucky and find a diamond, you are not as lucky asliving in London.” How lucky I was to be relocated toLondon.
Enter the amazing world of London!

If you are planning to go on a vacation or
move permanently, London is the place for you.
he population is 7,122,200 from 1997. London is
ocated in the U.K, which is located on the northwest part of Europe. The temperature is a nice five
entigrade during January and a pleasant eighteen
entigrade during summer in July. London is not
mountainous and only has hills on the border of the
ity. Having 34 bridges, that makes it obvious that
here is huge river in the city called the Thames
River. London is the smallest city in the U.K,
ecause it is only 1,572 square kilometers and is
bout 0.65% of the space in the U.K. That is pretty
mpressive considering it is the capital of Northern
reland, U.K and Great Britain. Like a bee, London
s small and successful.
n London there are amazing Landmarks, like the
ondon Bridge which was rebuilt in the year of
209. It is the oldest bridge in the U.K. When it
was rebuilt, people added homes and stores next to
he bridge. London can also show off its
uckingham Palace, the home of the royal family.
was built in 1705 by the Duke of Buckingham,
hen housed George III, and at 1837 belonged to
Queen Victoria. During summer 18 out of 600ooms are available to the public. Also, taking 36
ears to make, to build from 1675 to 1711, St.
aul’s Cathedral was rebuilt by after the Great Fire
y Sir Christopher Wren. It has a unique dome.
ondon is symbolized by a very familiar attraction,
he London Eye. It is the tallest wheel in the world
hat lets you watch over the beautiful city 135
meters above the ground. The London Eye has
ecome an icon, because it is the most popular in
erms of attractions, as it also is the highest earning.
10,000 people go there in one day, so that makes
over 3.5 million people going there each year. Did I
also mention a gallery called The Nation Gallery? It
contains paintings of the famous artists likeMichelangelo, and even Leonardo Da Vinci’s oldest
works of art. This museum on Trafalgar square has
more than 2,200 paintings from internationally
known famous artists.
I should speak about the people too. Their official
language is English. Most people in London are
Christians, some are Catholic. People from
Bangladesh and Pakistan usually belong to the
Islamic community. Indians believe in Hinduism,
and there are also some Jewish people from the 19th
century who were refugees from Russia. Traditions
and customs that Londoners celebrate is the Notting
Hill Carnival where there are floats and children
dress up in costumes. This goes on for three days.
Fall and Spring have the same tradition which is
celebrated twice a year; Fashion Week! This is
where people show the clothes and work of world
famous clothes designers. There is also an event on
the last Sunday of January, where people dress up
in clothes from the 17th century as they remember
the passing away of Charles I. As for theircelebrated holidays, there is obviously Christmas.
There is also Boxing Day on the 26th of December
where bosses give employees clothing, money, and
food, which is also the start of Christmas sales.
They also play sports like hunting foxes on Boxing
Day. If you read further on, you will see that
London is actually a very interesting city.
London Eye has a large source of income and is a must see for the
people on vacation. Though the line is long, the time that you are in
a capsule which is completely safe will make you feel that is was
worth the wait.The London Eye gives you the chance to peer over
the city and its wonders like you were an eagle soaring in the sky.

! Things through
history have altered things
in the present, but
numerous things have
changed since the GreatFire. London in the year of
1666 was crawling with
diseased rats which had the
disease known as “Black
Death” or the bubonic
plague. The context of the
situation was having most
of the houses being
wooden, and things like
oil, hemp, hay and more
flammables were contained
in some of the houses in
Thames Street. On top of
that, the method of killing
a fire back then was not so
efficient. That was great for
a fire to start.
In 1666, the cause of many
changes was The Great
Blaze. A fire started in a
bakeshop for the king, andit spread in the middle of
the night. The fire was hard
to stop because of all the
wood and flammables, so
the massive flame
continued on unpityingly.
The fire went on for about
three days, which is a long
time. When the fire died,
London was surprised at
what happened to their
beautiful city.
At the end, there were
many awful things that
happened. The aftermath of
the fire was 13,000 houses
burnt down, 89 churches
had been destroyed, and 52
guild halls did not survive
the fire. The fire was very
merciless because it lookedlike someone dropped a big
bomb on London. Lots of
people were poor and
homeless since their shelter
was burnt down. Because
of the fire, 80% of London
was ruined.
Unlike the unfortunate
effects of the fire, thedecent effects lingered on
all the way to the present
day. London learned a
lesson to not use too many
wood structures, and that
event also greatly
improved efficiency of
the fire fighters. As a
matter of fact, another
good thing the fire was
kill many of the rats
carrying the plague,
reducing the disease of
“Black Death”, saving
many more lives to
come. Also, the
representatives of
architecture and
government were happy
about the fire, thinking
the tragedy as anotherpositive thing for London.
Since 80% of London was
wiped out, they viewed it
as a good opportunity to
rebuild the buildings that
were there to make it even
better. They basically
rebuilt London to an even
better London then the one
in 1665. A good example
of that statement would
be the St. Paul’s
Cathedral London has
today. Their
architecture is now a
good path to retrace
London’s long and
interesting history to give it
a unique tone and more
tourists. If you want to
learn evn more of London’s intriuging past,
you can visit all the
awesome and cool castles
it has to offer.

Humans have changed thelandscape of London very impressively. A very great example of that statement wouldbe the major economic centerthat London is proud to calltheir own, Canary Wharf. If you look closely at the old Canary Wharf, you can see on thebuilding, it says “Canary Wharf”. Now, if you do not recognize it, the tall building inthe middle of the modern
Canary Wharf is the Canary Wharf Tower.!Before the 1980’s, Canary Wharf had a pretty flat, low populated landscape. TheL o n d o n D o c k y a r d sDevelopment Corporation,owned by the government had a responsibility. Its responsibility was to use land and buildings,
roots on commercial andindustry related things, and toh a v e a g o o d l o o k i n g surrounding of London. Sincethey had to fulfill their job, they decided to turn the old and dirty looking, flat landed, with littleactivity, Canary Wharf into oneof the most massive economicpowerhouses in the world.When they gradually started tob u i l d i n t h e 8 0 ’ s t h e
government produced a very urban icon, which would beextremely wealthy, and isprobably a huge part of London’s economy. The picturetells about everything I will tellyou.
! From a very smallnumber, they now have over15,000 people employed there.From a flat landscape, Canary Wharf was transformed into a
landscape of high rise andbustling with activity. Just look a t t h e p i c t u r e . A l m o s t everything there is lit up. Thereare tal l bui l dings, cars,everything! It is like a flowerwhich’s life stages has beenreversed, because first it wasdull and wilted, whereas now, it is in full bloom, looking asbeautiful as ever. Transforming
this place may be one of the best choices the government chose.If you are looking for goodbusiness, that modern, stylishhigh rise of London is the placefor you to go.

Another Experience :! “I remember my experience in Hanoi. It was great, the people, culture and of course food. I love
the food there, especially the symbol of the city, Vietnamese Rice Noodles (Pho). The spring rolls are
excellent, made of fresh vegetables and meat, the true Vietnamese taste. People
say that Vietnam has the best quality bread. I agree, I remember tasting the
delicious ingredients mixed with the rich texture of the bread. The bread was
crunchy and cooked well; it was the best bread I have ever tasted. I alsoremember going to a great place known as the Old Quarter where there were
many street stalls selling a variety of things, toys, food, clothes, souvenirs, plates
and many other things. I bought unique and hand made silk scarves, and was
amazed at how fine and beautiful there were. I bought many souvenirs that
resemble Hanoi and Vietnam as well. I was walking down the small pavement
where something caught my eye, it was the extraordinary, hand made, unique
and elegant traditional Vietnamese dress ( Ao Tai). I bought one immediately
and took in the dazzling patters and designs. I continued my journey by going
to the Water Puppets show which was much better than I expected. I love
Hanoi and I know that I had a great time there.”

Why Did People Go To
Hanoi
Hanoi is in Vietnam with the Red River
flowing around it only 85 miles away from the South China Sea.
! Hanoi was established by the
Emperor Ly Thai Tho in 1010 AD. At that
time, Ly Thai Tho made Hanoi into the
capital.
! There are many opportunities
in Hanoi mostly provided by the Red
River. The Red River allowed Hanoi to
have flat fertile land which has excellentquality for rice growing, a daily product
eaten by Vietnamese. The traditional rice
growing has helped Vietnamese by giving
them food, jobs and money, earned from
selling rice. The Red River was also used
for shipping, transport and fishing. 92 %
of Vietnam’s exports are marine life.
Water was another resource provided
from the Red River. Therefore, the Red
River has been an important part of
Vietnam as well as Hanoi. Hanoi is also a
great place for education. People say that
Hanoi is the centre of education in
Vietnam. Hanoi has many excellent
universities with high standards of
learning. Students move to Hanoi
because it is the best place for education
and more educated people, means more
business more Hanoi. Hanoi’s schoolsalso give the best opportunity to
succeed in finding a suitable career.
People also go there because of the
location, it is close to water, meaning
more jobs and food and better chance in
planting. People also go there to relocate
business, as Hanoi is becoming the place
for business and companies, that why
recently, major companies are relocating
there.
! Hanoi is easily accessed and has
many twin cities like Russia, Korea, China
and many more.
! There many industries and
businesses in Hanoi such as Canon,
Honda, Electric and Electronic industries,
Silk Scarf, PetroVietnam and Beer
companies.
! In 2010, Hanoi had a great
population of 6,232940 people. Vietnam
had a population of 87,375,000, making it
the 13th most populated country in the
world.
! The main nationality is
Vietnamese and the Religions are Roman
Catholic and Buddhism. The main
language spoken in Hanoi is Vietnamese,
but French, Russian, German and English
are also spoken in Hanoi by older
citizens. French is spoken because of the
influence left behind by the French, after
and during the First Indochina War.
German and Russian are spoken because
of business and connections. Russian was
spoken because it was part of the First
Indochina war, interacting with Vietnam.English is now a language that is learnt in
most schools in Hanoi.
! Hanoi has many opportunities
and is much like Paris, a mix of the old
and the new.
Learn About The Past
Hanoi used to be a city of bikes. People
would sell fruits in baskets while walkingor cycling to earn money. Citizens were
very close and fr iendly. Neighbors would
know each other very well and be close
friends, inviting them over to each other’s
houses. The citizens of Hanoi are like a
great big family.
During the time of December 19, 1946
– August 1, 1954, the First Indochina War
took place. This was between the French
Union’s French Far East Expeditionary
Corps, which was led by France and also
supported by Emperor Bao Dai’s
Vietnamese National Army against the
Viet Minh, which was led by Ho Chi
Minh and Vo Nguyen Giap.
The reason for this war was because
Vietnam was seeking their independence
from France and also to oppose the
Japanese occupation. France demanded
the Vietnamese to surrender and pass
the Hanoi forces to them, allowing the
French to have the responsibility,
however, Vietnam declined and
responded by attacking the French
electric plant and other installations. This
caused the French to seize Gia Lam
airfield, taking control of the central par tof Hanoi and other Provinces.
This resulted in the death of 10% of
Vietnam’s population. It also had many
positive effects on Hanoi, one of them
being the change in Hanoi’s culture. The
French culture influenced the culture of
Vietnam. Citizens also learnt to bake
pastries and bread. Bakeries were then
built as people started to sell their bread
for money. This helped the economy as
some people say that Vietnam has the
best quality bread.
Another effect is the architecture as
some French buildings were left behind,
catholic buildings and churches were also
built and left behind. These buildings and
churches helped Vietnam and Hanoi gain
lots of money as they became famous
tourist attractions.
As you can see, the First Indochina War
had a great effect on the present Hanoi.
Hanoi, a mix of old and new.

! These pictures show how
people have changed the landscape of
Hanoi. Before, when Hanoi was very
peaceful, it was a city full of nature,
much like a huge forest. They had
many healthy trees and plants that
made Hanoi a clean and unpolluted
city. At that time, there were no
apartments, only small buildings that
were three stories high. Each little
building would have up to 20 rooms.
The rooms were like miniature
houses. They were old fashion and
eco- friendly. Hoan Kiem lake was the
Pearl of Hanoi, and it was clean and a
beautiful natural eco-system. It would
be refreshing to take a walk and
observe nature. After a few decades,
humans changed the landscape by
cutting down trees, polluting natural
eco-systems, war and also building
projects. They did this because they
needed money, space and land. War
started because of several things, one
of the most important ones is the
First Indochina War. Vietnam was
seeking for independence, the war
affected Hanoi dramatically. This war
destroyed the city but left some
French influence behind. From looking
at the two pictures, you can see that
on one picture, the background behind
the structure is trees with an old
structure behind. On the second one,
you can easily see the buildings
proving that Hanoi did change by
constructing buildings. The
constructions used trees, money and
also the demolishment of old
apartments. However, the money was
needed. Space and land was needed to
build tall apartments, to fit more
people which meant more money.
Money was used to develop the city
even further making it the city it is
today. Today, because of the change,
Hanoi is now like a developed and
modern city but still leaving a bit of the past.

Hong Kong B Noah
Hong Kong is a unique city because of the fact that it has
seamlessly blended Chinese and European cultures. This
started in 1644 when the British decided they wanted to have
an area near China so they could trade with the Chinese. The
British left Hong Kong in 1997, and made a permanent
imprint on the Hong Kong people. This is shown by the fact
that the people of Hong Kong enjoy watching horse races,
hang out in clubs, and eat international food.
An example of Hong Kong’s improvement is the Peninsula
Hotel. In 1928, The Peninsula Hotel was created near the port
so that there is a luxurious place for rich people to stay in once
they arrived through ocean liners. Today, it has changed andyou can easily notice the difference from what it was and what
it is now. A large improvement between the old and the new is
that there is a tall 30-storey back tower built into the rear of
The Peninsula, giving it more accommodation for guests and
its distinctive “throne” shape.
In this introduction, I have given you a little bit of
information about what there is to find in this small city. As I
am sure that you want to learn more about this colorful place,

Peninsula Hotel 1928
Hong Kong’s Changing
Landscape
The Peninsula Hotel is an
example of what people have
changed in the landscape of Hong
Kong. When it was opened in the year
1928, the Peninsula, founded by the
Kadoorie family, was a place that was
created near the port so rich visitors
would have a luxurious place to stay
in once they arrived through ocean
liners. It also plays a large part in
Hong Kong’s history because, when
the Japanese conquered Hong Kong,
the highest Japanese officers stayed inthe Peninsula Hotel.
In 1994, people changed the
landscape of this area by building a
tall tower in the back of the
Peninsula, thus expanding it. This was
done to have more space for guests.
The hotel has also been in a few
movies.
Also, as you can see in the old
image, there was nothing across the
Peninsula building. If you visit the
hotel today, you will see a large
planetarium that was built across it in
1973. Because of this change, the city
of Hong Kong, or this area
of it at least, is much more attractive.
Peninsula hotel now
The People of Hong Kong
Hong Kong, as a city, began in around mid-1600. It was turned from a
countryside province or merchant village into a bustling metropolis by the British.
It is located on the coast of China, which was vital to its development, due to the
fact that it could become a port or a fishing area. People only went there in larger
numbers after the British arrived to join them in the trades and work with them.
Hong Kong today is a successful city. There are several job opportunities provided
in this city, including mining, banking, teaching etc. In Hong Kong, the resources
are fishing, the mines and the trade that come into ports. It is a nice place to live
and be in today because of the improvements the British made in their 353 year
rule. When the British arrived, they gave Hong Kong access to the latest
machinery, technology, and more. Some of the largest companies in Hong Kong
in 2010 include China Mobile (Hong Kong) Limited, Hutchison Whampoa, Dairy
Farm International Holdings,!Yue Yuen,!Hang Seng Bank,!Cathay Pacific Airways
and Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC). The place is also
very modern with good mass transport and communication systems.
There are about 7,089,705 people in Hong Kong in July 2010. The country has
not, however, attracted people from all over the world. The population of Hong
Kong is mostly Chinese, with about 95% being local. Other than that, 1.6% is
Filipino, 1.3% Indonesian, and the rest comprise the different nationalities. The
people in Hong Kong also speak multiple languages, mostly Chinese dialects: 91%
Cantonese, 3% English, 1% Mandarin Chinese, 4% other Chinese dialects, andthe last 1% from other languages.
The Hong Kong Chinese are unique than other Asian areas because they were
colonized by the British. Local folks like to watch horse races, hang-out in clubs,
and eat international food. The people here also have a generally higher level of
living and are always on the go. But they also relax on weekends to reduce stress.

Shanghai
This is about old
Shanghai when was
Shanghai made? Why do
people from other
countries come to
Shanghai? Well I can Ianswer that! The Yuan
imperial government
created Shanghai. In
1915 The British had war
with Shanghai so they
had to trade stuff for
money and resources.
Shanghai is in Shanghai
and this is important to
shanghai because needslots and lots of recourses
and money to survive!
In Shanghai there are
opportunities in this city
because Shanghai lives
next to sea water so
they are very lucky that
they have an important
resource. So people
need lots and lots of water because there are
300,000 foreigners in
Shanghai. Shanghai
spends 350 billion Yuan
on six pillar industries
over the next 5 tears.
People sell technology,
automobiles, electrical
and mechanicalproducts in Shanghai
so maybe that’s why
Shanghai is so wealthy!
There are over 10 million
residents in Shanghai
which is 25% Koreans,
15% Taiwanese and 25%
others!

Shanghai’s impact of the past on the present
I was researching about Shanghai and I am going to share theimpact of the past on the present in Shanghai. Here are somefacts. Shanghai used to be called “Shen” After local Bamboofishing trap. Shanghai is China’s largest and greatest city!!!Jiang Zemin is the guy who came to power in Shanghai in1992. He is also the premier of Zhu Rongji.
Jiang Zemin change the cit Shanghai what he did is made thetaxes lower, made a rule that the size of a family that comes toShanghai has to be fewer than three people but that s toosmall for me! And he made Shanghai bigger than before! Sohe did make an impact of the past on the present. So rightnow Shanghai must still be big and because of him the city
Shanghai hAright now must still be big! Shanghai is
more unique, beautiful, colorful and bigger.

! Kyoto is a very historical
place with many ancient, old temples
and buildings that are still seen today.World War II was going to change
how everything was in Kyoto today.
At the end of World War II, the U.S
was planning to hit Kyoto with an
atomic bomb, because it was “The
Center of Japan”. When this was
going to happen, a man named Henry
L. Stimson chose not to hit Kyoto
with the atomic bomb and took
Kyoto off the targeting list. He did
this because he believed Kyoto
shouldn’t be bombed due to its
culture and political importance. This
has affected Kyoto today, because the
reason why Kyoto has old buildingsand temples is because there was no
bombing that destroyed all the
historical and ancient buildings and
temples in Kyoto. These old buildings
and temples have become tourist
attractions, gaining money for the
city. Although Kyoto has also been
affected by other wars, they were
able to rebuild what was destroyed,
so they are able to have these things
they have today.
The Impact from the Past to Present...
ANCIENT TEMPLES AND
SHRI NES SEEN TODAY
! These pictures show how
people have changed the landscapeof the Shijo Ohashi (Shijo GreatBridge) in Kyoto. The first ever ShijoOhashi was built in 1142. It wasn’tsuch a gigantic bridge, it was actuallyquite small, so it wasn’t actuallycalled an Ohashi. It was surroundedby bits of water in different areas.Behind the bridge was a town withhouses and short buildings andbehind the buildings and houseswere a few mountains. It also wasn’tas crowded and wasn’t filled with alot of people. Although it was quitesmall this bridge played an importantrole, because it allowed both theGion procession and pilgrims tocross the Kamogawa River. Then acouple of centuries later, in 1857, thefirst real Shijo Ohashi was built. Ithad a couple of changes since 1142,like how the Shijo Ohashi was muchbigger than it was last time, but stillwasn’t as crowded. It also wasn’t asstable as it could’ve been, because itwas a wooden bridge on stonepillars. It looked some what the
same and still had the same style of buildings behind the bridge. Theyagain built a new bridge in 1874,because it was washed away in aflood by the Kamogawa River. This
time the bridge was made of iron
and had 4 lamps on each side. It stilllooked the same as the other twobridges but looked a bit sturdier. Thebuildings still looked the same butthey got rid of other oldconstruction. Then, around the year1913, they again rebuilt the bridgefor it to be wider and have a largeramount of space. It was made out of concrete and had an arched design.The design they made took a loteffort and took some time. Butagain, during a flood in 1935,driftwood got stuck in the archeswhich made the flood destroy manybuildings in some nearby areas. So in1942, they again built a new bridge.Humans changed the landscape byadding more water that surroundingthe bridge, and adding morebuildings. It was much morecrowded and looked more stable. Itis also a bridge that’s still standingtoday. Also today, because of thischange, the city of Kyoto is nowlooking like a modern city becauseof this bridge. They have had so
many experiences and toughchallenges they had to go throughwith and it was worth it. As Kyoto isa historical and wonderful city.

BOGOTABy: Santi
You might have been to ECUADOR or VENEZUELA or even BRAZIL but you
don’t know the best things of South America if you haven’t been to Bogota the
biggest city of Colombia and the most modern city in Latin America. The
Spanish people arrived in 1499 and created an establishment which in 1886 it
was turned into a city named Bogota, Capital of the Republic of Colombia.
There are still monuments around Bogota that show scenes from whenBogota was ruled by Spanish people. Bogota develops more and more each day
becoming one of the biggest trading centers in South America. Today there are
people moving to Bogota everyday from America, Europe, Asia and other
countries from South America and around the world for jobs, better hospitals,
better education, land, and food. The city advances technologically and
cultural each day with new discoveries on how to improve the city and new
ways to end poverty around Bogota.
Bogota is like the inside of a computer, little sparking things and wires
going around making everything work one hundred percent perfect. The
economy and political problems pop up each day but thanks to the great
people and community they solve all those problems. So come to Bogota, Kick
back, relax and have no worries in your mind. Because in Bogota the only risk
is to never want to leave.
8/7/2019 Vergel Final Relocation Guide
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vergel-final-relocation-guide 56/86
BASIC DATABogota is the capital of Colombia located in the
North part of South America. The population of Bogota is about 7.19 million people all across
Bogota, but the whole Metropolitan area (Bogota,
Medellin, Cali in the middle of all of them) is about
8.25 million people. The city lies nearly two miles
above sea water (data recorded in 2007). The
weather and climate is usually cold and cloudy
about 55 degrees F and 13 degrees C. In winter the
tips of the mountains are covered in snow but the
main city is not. The main symbol of Bogota is
three stripes, yellow top, blue middle, and bottom
red with a big brown eagle in the middle. The main
and only language in Bogota is Spanish. The main
religion is Roman Catholic. Some traditions and
Customs in Bogota are Easter week which is Palm
Sunday, Maundy, Thursday, Good Friday and
Ascension. There are other holidays like Christmas
and Halloween that are still celebrated the same.
Some other holidays in Bogota are Carnival, St.
Josephs, and Independence Day on July 20th. Somecommon landmarks are Bolivar Plaza, Tequendama
Falls, La Candelana, and the Gold Museum. The
topography of Bogota is mostly the main city
surrounded by lakes, rivers, tropical jungles and
forests.
In the 1920’s Bogota used to be one of the most
modern, safe cities in Colombia and a big adding
center for coffee and other products. At night it was
safe for kids to go out and play in the
neighborhoods and there wasn’t much need for
security. The streets were clean and full of people
and crime was very low. The government had no
problem handling the law.
In the beginning of 1950 some people that had
almost nothing in life turned against the
government and joined rebel groups thinking they
could “help” the people. Drug cartels started to
expand and hired more and more people to fight for
them.
Rebel groups started to kill and kidnap people by
planting bombs around the cities to cause terror. Italso influenced more people to create rebel groups,
some groups fought for land or money and some
groups fought just to destroy the government. Drug
cartels started sending tons of ships loaded with
drugs to U.S. starting a war between the cartels and
the U.S. government. When drug cartels,
paramilitary groups, rebels and mercenaries joined
forces to create the terrorist group, F.A.R.C
(Armed, Revolutionary, Forces of Colombia) (inEnglish) some of the following events happened:
Cartel wars around Colombia
Kidnapping entire communities
Training teenagers and adults to be rebels
Bomb planting in the cities
Assassinations
Hostage situations
Law corruption
Today, different governments fight to stop this war
against drug cartels and rebels but it is still the
biggest change of the century in Colombia and it
expands through cities like Cali, Bogota and
Medellin ruining the wonderful things of the city.

POPULATION AND
RESOURCES IN BOGOTA
Long ago about 500 years ago the Muiscas moved to Colombia for resources such as food, gold,
natural minerals, wool and a chance to create a new community/establishment. When the Spaniards
moved to Colombia they took the Muisca’s land and gold and made it their land. The Spanish
people created a bigger establishment that spread all across the borders of Colombia, and named
their capital city, Bogota.
People moved to Bogota for jobs, land/place to live, and education. In the past people from around
the world moved to Colombia mostly for resources like oil, rocks like emerald, sapphire, and
farming and cattle jobs. They also moved to improve their new land and making it safer and better.
Today there are people moving to Bogota everyday from America, Europe, Asia and other countries
from South America and around the world for jobs, better hospitals, better education, land, and
food.
The main industries/companies today are clothing, textile, cement, food, automakers, commercial,
banking and farming. People choose to live in Bogota because it’s a good trading center, and there is
a wide variety of jobs.
Today there are about 7.4 million people living in Bogota at the moment most of them work at
political jobs or commercial jobs. Most of the men/adults must join the army after high school and
serve the military for a year. Ninety – five percent are Roman Catholic and more than half of the
population are Bogotanos.
Most people today move to Bogota for a job that gives them enough money to live. Most people live
in the suburbs and work at banks, commercial businesses, political and financial jobs. They also
come for the variety of places to live, not only houses but buildings, penthouses and farms across the
mountains.
A woman named Luz Cruz who now lives in the Philippines with
her children, but lived mostly in Bogota tells us about a typical day
in Bogota. “In a normal Saturday would go with my friends to La
Zona Rosa for some shopping and lunch.” “We would meet at one
of the restaurants and have a typical lunch of Arepas with butter,bean soup, chorizo and corn.” Luz is a fan of shopping so she likes
looking around the clothes part of Zona Rosa and buy her self a
purple dress made from silk and a handbag made of sea shells. Luz
likes to keep up with today’s fashion.
Anecdote from a typical citizen in Bogota
8/7/2019 Vergel Final Relocation Guide
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/vergel-final-relocation-guide 58/86
People in Bogota have changed the landscape the landscape by constructing buildings, houses,
factories, roads and war, violence between people and crimes. People changed the landscape of
Bogota because there were too many people and lots of land so people started to build more houses.Before Bogota was even turned into a city it used to be full of forests and jungles and just small
families living on farms.
In 1490 when ships filled with explorers from Spain started going everywhere, they found Bogota,
Colombia where the Muiscas lived and started to chop down trees, dug out plants and grass and
started creating a city. The Spanish people arrived in 1499 and created a establishment which in 1886
it was turned into a city named Bogota, Capital of the Republic of Colombia.
Today Bogota is filled with skyscrapers, buildings, roads, highways, shopping malls, stores, houses
and cars everywhere. Places like the Colombian cathedral in Bogota are still kept.
Cathedral in 1920 Cathedral Today
Those two photos show the same cathedral in 1920 and today. The difference between the two photos
is that in the one in the left the cathedral was surrounded by trees and grass fields while in the photo of
today the ground was covered in cement and the tress where cut down.The main thing I have learned about the landscape change of Bogota is that when the land was turned
into houses and buildings people moved in with their families and businesses/companies and as more
people moved in from different countries the land was expanded more and more until it became a big
city and the capital of a country.

Tokyo was called Edo until
1868. When Edo era ended
the emperor moved to Edo,
which was renamed Tokyo.
So now Tokyo is the capital
city of Japan. In the Edo era
there were no telephone and
most buildings were made
of straw. In 1863 the
Tokugawa shogun ended
and imperial rule was
recovery.In Meiji period (1868-1912)
Japan began understanding
western civilization.
Buildings made of stones
and bricks. Major roads
were paved with round
stones. In 1869 Japan is first

was very big for Japan. In

worm by men, and hats,high collars and skirts were
the high fashion. In 1882

gardens were opened in
Ueno. In 1885 the
government system was
decided and Ito Hirobumi
became Japan’s first Prime

Japan in 1889 Japan
organized the government
system of new state.

Shanghai is located in a
country called China.
They Area or region is inAsia. The population

Shanghai (In 2010).
Shanghai is located

Yangtze River Delta
and halfway along
China’s eastern
coastline. The climate

This is about old
Shanghai when was
Shanghai made? Why do
people from other
countries come to
Shanghai? Well I can I
answer that! The Yuan
imperial governmentcreated Shanghai. In
1915 The British had war
with Shanghai so they
had to trade stuff for
money and resources.
Shanghai is in Shanghai
and this is important to
shanghai because needs
lots and lots of recoursesand money to survive!
In Shanghai there are
opportunities in this city
because Shanghai lives
next to sea water so they
are very lucky that they
have an important
resource. So people
need lots and lots of
water because there are
300,000 foreigners inShanghai. Shanghai
spends 350 billion Yuan
on six pillar industries
over the next 5 tears.
People sell technology,
automobiles, electrical
and mechanical
products in Shanghai
so maybe that’s whyShanghai is so wealthy!
There are over 10
million residents in
Shanghai which is 25%
Koreans, 15% Taiwanese
and 25% others!

Shanghai’s impact of the past on the present
I was researching about Shanghai and I am going to share theimpact of the past on the present in Shanghai. Here are somefacts. Shanghai used to be called “Shen” After local Bamboofishing trap. Shanghai is China’s largest and greatest city!!!Jiang Zemin is the guy who came to power in Shanghai in1992. He is also the premier of Zhu Rongji.
Jiang Zemin change the cit Shanghai what he did is made thetaxes lower, made a rule that the size of a family that comes toShanghai has to be fewer than three people but that s toosmall for me! And he made Shanghai bigger than before! Sohe did make an impact of the past on the present. So rightnow Shanghai must still be big and because of him the city
Shanghai hAright now must still be big! Shanghai is
more unique, beautiful, colorful and bigger.

Changing LandscapeIn the year 1925, Martin Place used to be
just an area with buildings and carriages. Afew years after the Commercial Bank
Company who lives at the end of Martin
Place was joined by the Bank of New South
Whales. They both decided to build a new
Martin Place. Martin place soon turned in
to a Pedestrian Plaza in 1969, and
upgraded in 1999. The GPO is still a
landmark but the cars and cabs are all
gone. Martin Place began to change, the
buildings are bigger and taller, there are
stoplights, fountains, restaurants, andmore. Martin Place was improved and was
opened in 1978. The people who changed
Martin Place wanted to make more
buildings for others to stay in or they could
build buildings for people to work in.
Martin Place is different from before but
there is one thing no one changed. As you
can see the old clock tower still stands from
a long time ago. The old clock tower would
be a reminder of the day Martin Place
improved. And now the tower is a
landmark and Martin Place became
famous, which attracted more people.

As a tourist I don’t really know about all of
Moscow. To me though during two weeks
of intensive touring around the city I think
I’ve gathered enough knowledge to tell
you that Moscow is indeed such a
wonderful place to be! During the first
week of Moscow my wife Janet and I went
to Red Square, Bolshoi theatre and the
Tretyakov Gallery. I never knew my brain
could be packed with so much fascinating
history! During the second week Jane and I
just chose to kind of lay back and enjoy
our vacation. We went to a lot of
parks ,shops , cafes, restaurants and malls.After these two weeks of embracing
Moscow I confident to say that Moscow is
the most exciting place to be in!
A
NE CDOTE S !
As a Local of Moscow I know about all
of the beautiful Moscow inside out! To
me it is the perfect place to shop and
have fun day and night. For the daywhen I get out of school I just chill with
my friends at the Loft Cafe, at night me
and my friend Susannah go out to Miami
Bowling and try to finally get a strike
three times in a row. Sometimes the
whole family goes out to Gorky Park for
the day and at night we might go to this
amazing restaurant! Or sometimes I stay
at home and chat while doing my
homework, any way it is still fun. Afterspending my whole life in Moscow I
think I have the right to tell you that
Moscow is definitely the place for me.
Get to know Moscow A Bit Better
Moscow is a welcoming
city that has the most
outstanding tourist attractions.
It is in the country of Russia
which is in the far eastern side
of Europe. Moscow’s
population is a rough
17,000,000 (2009) including
illegal and legal residents.
Moscow is located on the banks
of Moskva a river which flows
just over 500km, through theeast European plain in central
Russia. The weather throughout
the year is usually 10 Celsius,
sometimes 0 Celsius, but it has
gone lower to -42 Celsius so
there are hardly any day light
hours. Moscow has a coat of
arms which consists of a
horseman with a spear slaying a
basilisk, or in some cases St.George killing a dragon. St.
George’s real name is actually
Yury Dolgoruki who is the real
founder of Moscow. The flag
also has the same symbol
which consists of the three
colors, red, blue, white. In
Moscow they speak Russian
but they have an ancient
language called Slavonic but it
is only used in religious
purposes only. Speaking of
religions they have wide range
of them including Buddhism,
Judaism, Islam and many more,
but the predominant religion is
Christianity. Muscovites havetraditions and culture no other
city has, some similar to other
traditions like Fashion week or
Victory day but some are so
different it’s shocking! One of
the different ones is Pascha or
Easter as we would call it, they
take Pascha ever so serious like
a tiger guarding her young from
predators. They have absolutelyno interruptions even during
Soviet Times. Another one is
Maslenitsa, it is a week of
celebrating cheese so basically
a cheese fare/parade! It also
celebrates other food like bread
and pancakes but it’s based
more on cheese. Like their
many holidays and traditions
you cannot miss their beautiful
attractions and landmarks. The
most famous Landmark is Red
Square, beside are landmarks
and inside is where all the
history happened. The
topography is all greens, they
are on the plains of westernRussia near the Moskva river.

These pictures show how people have changed the landscape of Cathedral of Christ the Savior in
Moscow. Before, in the year 1812, Cathedral of Christ the Savior was a religious place with plenty
of statues. It was also a people place with lots of gardens and fountains. Then, around the year
1931, humans have changed the landscape by demolishing it, according to the Soviet because they
wanted to build a monument called “The Palace of the Soviets”. Unfortunately it didn’t makemuch money so they rebuilt the Cathedral in the year 1990. They did this
because Emperor Alexander 1 wanted to build it in honor of Christ who
saved them from Napoleons Army. They recieved again permission
from the Soviet government after some hassle. Today, because of this
change, the city of Moscow is now a very rich, historical yet modern in
some way.
What just Happened!
Moscow’s History In Half a Page
Moscow is the most
powerful city in Russia
because the city was involved
in so many things. They also
conquered non-Russian
colonies. During the year
1812, the city of Moscow had
suffered a lot, Count
Rostopchin ,general of
Moscow ,had everything set
on fire without warning
anyone because he knew that
the French army would be
heading there. When theFrench army arrived there
were more fires and people
were forced to flee. Later, in
the year 1813 they also made
a new law, a Commission for
the Construction of the City of
Moscow was established.
Moscow had the unique
opportunity to start from
scratch; they constructed and
reconstructed buildings
improving them like the
“Garden Ring” which
gradually widened the streets
they also reconstructed
“Minin and Pozharsky” which
is located at Red Square. But
there were also a few
problems like a severe supply
shortage (e.g. bricks, steel and
glass). Therefore houses had
to be built with wood. Laterthey were destroyed and they
made it better. The city’s
population grew rapidly and
new companies were later
formed. There was also
Alexander Witberg Cathedral
of Christ the savior which
later turned into Saint Basil’s
Cathedral. To this day you can
still see the Garden Ring or
old remains of wooden
houses. You can also see the
Minin and Pozharsky still
making a lot of money or
Saint Basil’s Cathedral. The
fire was a disaster but the
Muscovites turned it into
something wonderful .!

Why Come Here?! The city of Moscow was established in the year 1114. It was located on
the banks of the Moscow River (or Moskva in Russian) in the central part of Russia. In the past people came to Moscow because the vast land was of fertile
and lush greens perfect for growing food and raising cattle. People used
Moscow as a meeting place and agriculture but nothing more. But today people
come to Moscow because the nightlife in Moscow is how we’d say “exciting”.
Moscow is the source of entertainment in Russia; it has a great shopping mall
(GUM), beautiful cathedrals and lovely gardens and such. Although the it is the
Las Vegas of Russia the population in Moscow is a rough 17,000,000 but that
would be including legal and illegal residents (2009). So it is the home of manypeople, the major nationalities are Russian (Muscovites) and the Israeli (Jews).
The major industries and businesses today include, Cooper Industries,
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Kei Company. Some reasons why people live
in Moscow is because they have a wide variety of excellent schools with high
standards. There are plenty of jobs, the city has a lot of twins/sisters and lastly
as I have said the energy of Moscow is “overwhelming”. Therefore Moscow is
now a city with almost everything you need, all it needs is you.

An Extraordinary
Event which Changed
New York Completely
! ! New York City was the
heart of the world’s economy and
business. And in the middle of
New York economy was the Twin
Towers. 1969 August, The 7
World Trade Center was finished
constructing. The building
opened on 1973, April and from
that day on, it was attracting
huge amount of foreign
investments and big companies.It was the tallest building in the
U.S. Then, everything changed.
On September 9th 2001, two
American Airline planes drove
right in to the Twin Towers. Both
South and North towers were
burnt down.
As a result, 2,752 people
were killed and the remains fromthe burn left a huge mess in
Manhattan. Lots of people lost
their jobs and were injured.
People had to demolish the 7
World Trade Center even if it
wasn’t burnt down because it
was damaged beyond repair.
Parts of the city were disabled
from the attack and lots of people
lost their jobs. It took the whole
city 8 months just to clean up the
remains from the burns.
Manhattan was in chaos, and a
big part of the city was disabled
due to the clean up. Two years
after this incident, America
declared a war against Iraq. The
U.S received help from the UN,
UK, Korea, Italy, Australia, etc. in
2003; the American troops
managed to capture Hussein, the
one responsible for the attack
and executed him. Because of
9/11, over 3000 people died
(including soldiers), the U.S had a
war with Iraq, and Manhattan is
now in a huge mess, with a big
construction site.
Now, construction workers in
New York are now rebuilding the
7 World Trade Center. Theyshould be finished building by
2013
9/11 was the biggest
attack in the U.S
history. A terror
network named AL QAEDA
lead by Osama Bin
Laden planned and
attacked the Twin
Towers. 2752 people
died from this attack
and the 7 World Trade
Center had to be
demolished.

This is a bird’s eye

New York
City
Population
In 1524, Giovanni Da
Verrazano established a
small port city in New
York, located on the East
Coast of U.S. He was on a
voyage and he stopped by
in the Upper New York
Bay. On 1609, September,
Europeans started to settle
in New York because an
Englishman, Henry
Hudson found an
abundant beaver
population. During that
time, beaver pelts were in
fashion in Europe, which
created a huge business in
Europe. Beaver pelts
made lots of
Europeans to settle in
New York.
Now days, New
York is the heart of
international business.
Around 8,391,881people live in New
York. Because New
York is like a bowl of
soup with different
types of ingredients,
there are different kinds of
people living here. Those
people are Americans,
Chinese, Indians,
Hispanic, etc. Most of the
People came to New York
for good jobs and good
environment to live in.
Also, good economy and
money attracted famous
brands such as Prada,
Nike, J.P. Morgan Chase &
Co., Channel, Apple, and
etc. Its like the famousbrands are little paper
clips and New York is a
huge strong magnet. New
York is a major city when it
comes to business and
economy. The world’s
economy depends on NewYork!
NEW YORK CITY LANDSCAPE
These two pictures are pictures of Manhattan before and after
9/11. You can see that the twin towers (the tallest two buildings)
are missing. That is because AL QAEDA, a terrorist group lead by
Osama Bin Laden attacked the twin towers and burnt them down. The
terrorist drove two planes right through the twin towers, and both
towers were burnt down.
This change of landscape had a huge effect on New York. Some
of the effects were that 3000 people died from this attack,
portions of the city was disabled, the center of international
business is now in chaos, it left a huge mess in Manhattan which
took the whole city 8months just to clean up, and the other world
trade center buildings had to be demolished because they were
damaged beyond repair. Tons of people lost their family members
and jobs. This event was in the headlines of every newspaper you
could ever think of.
Now, in New York the new 7 World Trade Center is being build.
According to the plan, they should be finished building by 2013.
