Garuda Wisnu Kencana - Bali, Indonesia - 14th April 2013
By: Linda Fdph
Hello.............
Today , iam visited Mandala Garuda Wisnu Kencana (GWK), a 240 hectares private cultural park on the Bukit Peninsula at the southern end of the island of Bali in Indonesia, 15 minutes from Ngurah Rai International Airport. Bukit is a limestone plateau with Uluwatu to the west and Nusa Dua to the east.
It is devoted to the Hindu god Vishnu, and his mount, Garuda, the mythical bird who is his companion.
Garuda Wisnu Kencana is a massive, unfinished statue in Bali that currently exists in pieces. Conceptualized by the Balinese artist Nyoman Nuarta
When it's completed, it will be the largest statue in the world.
Dominating the park is Wisnu, a bust of a Hindu deity constructed from giants slabs of copper and brass. Representing the divine force responsible for the protection of the universe, the 22 meter Wisnu figure is a modern rendering of an ancient cultural tradition. The companion piece, Garuda, represent the giant bird which transports Wisnu, a symbol of both freedom and selfless devotion
With love

Geneve and Lausanne, Switzerland - 11th July 2013
By: Aleksandra_Sunny
Hello mummy!!
I'm really sorry for not giving my news for a soooo long time... We've been to the country-side, very far from everything... Internet worked very very bad and I wasn't able to write you...
In July with my host parents we have been to Switzerland! We visited Geneve and Lausanne, two cities not far from the French border. On the way we could take a picture behind Mont Blanc!! The weather was very nice and we could walk all day long!!! We've seen the lakes and the rivers, old steets and United Nations building. I liked our trip very much! Our host-mother was very sad because the big Olympic museum was closed for the rennovation... But we could visit a small exposition and met there a very strange person came from London..
I'll tell you more about my vacations soon!!

Besancon, France - 19th July 2013
By: Aleksandra_Sunny
In one of sunny summer days we visited Besancon, the capital of Franche-Compte region in the Eastern France.
We made a long trip in car and in bus, and finally we came to the principal sight of Besancon, a great citadel made by Vauban in the beginning of 18 century. During World War II it was the Nazis who occupied the citadel, that's why now there is a big museum of the occupation. Also, we visited Franche-Compte museum and a small zoo

Sevres, France - 13th August 2013
By: Aleksandra_Sunny
Hello mummy!
Last week we have been to the place where works our host-mother. It calls "CIEP" and it's a very big centre of pedagogical researches. It is situated in the suburbs of Paris, in Sevres where one of the best porcelain in Europe is made. In the morning we took a "true french breakfast" and then we started our trip!
CIEP it's a very big and ancient building which looks as a royal palace! We were really impressed! we helped our host mother during her work day, we taped on the computer, read the documents.. And also we watched a big world map, where we could find all countries which we've already visited and where we'd like to go!
