Snow

                                                    Snow

Snow. Made from water, dirt, gravel, dust and whatever else in on the ground. Commonly seen in the Norther Hemisphere along with the Southern Hemisphere and sometimes in the Sahara Desert but rarely. Snow is something of a miracle in some places where snow don’t fall often. I’m talking about places like Baghdad, Iraq. I mean, if you go high enough anywhere then, eventually, you’ll see ice and not snow. Ice is like a cousin to snow, they share nothing in common as Ice is hard and snow are, more often than not, softer. But if you mix them all together then you get the same mixture of frozen water. Snow played an important part in religions all over the world as parts of ritual, and such. Snow also plays a part of your childhood if you happen to live where snow do falls. Whatever roles snow played in your life, it certainly is a spectacular sight to see a fully white landscape with more to come (unless you live somewhere in Greenland, if that’s the case I am so sorry).

Great book about snow and about religions. You’ll learn a lot about snow and facts that you might not know about before. So it’s great to learn all the different ways snow are used in cultures, religion and societies around the world. Did you also know that once a year, the sun doesn’t set in places in north of the arctic circle, that’s pretty cool. 24 hours of direct sunlight, perfect for sleeping. 10/10 book, would read it again.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure review

Maze Runner: The Death Cure Warning: This is about the book, not the movie. Also grammar mistake Ok, so this book is part of a trilogy but the newest installment ruined that. If you haven’t read the other two books then it might be a little challenging to understand the context. Anyway, after the Scorch Trial taken place somewhere in Mexico, Thomas and all of his friends are captured and held captive. Thomas get the special treatment of 26 days of isolation in a white room. They were going to get their memories back but Thomas decided that he was too good for it and escaped the facility on a "Berg" that matches the description of a Combine Dropship from Half Life 2.  The "Berg" looks something like this but a lot less terrifying and probably looked nothing like that and my comprehension skill is bad.  They escaped to Denver, out of all the places, to get a chip in their brain removed because it can, reportedly, let WICKED control your brain and that's not very g...

Niagara Falls experience

Image
Hello again, My family on a 7 days trip to Toronto, the city is great, and it is quite cold here. Otherwise, it is very good in Toronto. The food taste ok, and the water is drinkable. Also, the subway system is pretty cool, highly organized and sophisticated system. Though something I would complain about is the amount and of dangerous people on the street. A random guy got pushed into the subway rail as the train was coming in and the guy died. I think the suspect was arrested. All my condolences goes to their family but we must now move on to what happened today. We went to Niagara Falls today and it was a good experience. It was pretty cool seeing the falls from the Canadian side. The falls is very big especially the Horseshoe which is the biggest of all the falls. Before I get into details, I would like to thanks our tour guide, Mr. Kaleb. He has been on this very specific tour for 12 years. He has a very recognizable accent but he use it to his advantage and use it to create laugh...

The battle of Stalingrad

  The Battle of Stalingrad The Battle of Stalingrad, fought between August 23, 1942, and February 2, 1943, during World War II, is considered one of the most significant battles in history. It pitted the Axis powers, primarily Germany, against the Soviet Union, with the city of Stalingrad as the epicenter of the conflict. This battle and siege of the city was one of the deadliest battle in World War 2 history, over 1 million casualties on the Soviet Union side alone. The siege/battle raged for approximately five months and in those five months, there was a lot of learn on both side. For the German side, they learned the valuable lesson of to not invade the Soviet Union during the Winter, something that the French learned 130 years prior to the battle. But despite the Soviet Union emerging as victorious, was the 1.2 million death worth the trade? Was Stalin's order to hold the city using all forces available necessary to win the battle? And what about the decision of not letting the...
