BEIJING
February 2012 By: JosephAbsolute Location
Beijing is located at
Latitude: 39.92889
Longitude:
116.3883. (39
degrees North 116
degrees West).
BEIJING'S RELATIVE LOCATIONBeijing is located at the northeastern part of China also Beijing is located south of Mongolia and Russia,
northeast of India and Nepal, north of Vietnam and Burma, and west of Korea and the China Sea.
! AnecdotBeijing is one of the most remarkable
cities Ive ever been to. It is a very busy and
modern place. I love to go sightseeing there.
The Forbidden City is my preferred place to
visit in Beijing. The marvelous Forbidden City is
the largest and the greatest preserved imperial
palace complex in the world. It has 9,999
rooms you could get lost in, which explains
how the Forbidden City became one of the
main tourist attractions in Beijing. Over a
period of five centuries, this palace operated as
the governmental center of the country. One of
the reasons why I favor the Forbidden City is
because I had a pleasant experience when I
went there. When you enter the Forbidden City
and look at the fabulous rooms, you will feel
like leaving your native city behind and
transferring to Beijing. It is easy to imagine
ones self living in luxury in one of the elegantrooms of the palace. How pleasant would it be
to live in a palace with butlers at your service?
Unfortunately, you cant live in the Forbidden
City. It is just one enormous museum so
attractive that you are guaranteed to fall in love
with.

The Celestial City
Beijing is like the brightest star on a clear
and cloudless night, easily standing out from
the millions of others twinkling around it.
Beijing did use to be known as the The
Celestial City for its perfect blend of
infrastructure, trade, arts and culture. However,
as the star that it is, the intensity of its
brightness changes with time. Due to the
exceedingly rapid industrialization, various
negative consequences have followed. As of
the present, the city has a population of 19.6
million. They came to this city from several
different countries to add to the brilliance of
this star. Only a small number of cities in the
world have served as lengthily as the political
center of an area as immense. It is one of the
Four Great Ancient Capitals of The Peoples
Republic of China. It has also been the heart of
Chinas history for centuries and there is barelya major building of any age in Beijing that does
not have at least some national historical
significance. The city is also the second largest
city in China today. Can you ever even imagine
Beijing as a quiet provincial city much like a
dimly lit star? At present, no one would think to
describe it as a provincial city but Beijing was
actually a small fishing province in the past.
Today, you will find numerous attractions in
Beijing, both old and new. Visit Beijing and
explore this luminary with me!
! !
Impact of the Past on the Present
The city of Beijing, in China, has a long
and rich history that goes back over 3,000
years. Beijing for centuries was the capital of
the ancient states of Ji and Yan before the
fusion of China in 221 BC by their First
Emperor Qin Shi Huang. For the first millennia
of imperial rule, Beijing was only a provincial
city in northern China. Its stature grew most
from the 10th to the 13th centuries when the
nomadic Khitan and Jurchen peoples from the
steppes expanded southward, and made the
city a capital of the Liao and Jin dynasties.
In the early 1900s, Beijing used to be a
city with a mixed form of government:
nationalism and communism. Everything
changed after Mao became the Chinese
communist leader and founded the Peoples
Republic of China. Mao Ze Dong, Chinas most
dominant communist leader, had chased out
the Japanese and other possible threats to
Chinas future. He was responsible for the
disastrous policies of the Great Leap
Forward and the Cultural Revolution.
The Great Leap Forward of the People's
Republic of China was an economic and
social campaign, reflected in the decision of
plans from 1958 to 1961. It intended to use
China's massive population to rapidly
transform the country from agricultural
economy to a communist state through the
course of swift industrialization, and
collectivization. Mao Ze Dong led the
movement and strengthens it after being
informed of the impending disaster from grain
shortages. However, The Great Leap policy
ended in calamity, resulting in excess deaths
to the millions leading Mao to initiate another
policy called the Cultural Revolution in 1966.
The Cultural Revolution was a
sociopolitical movement that occurred from
1966 to the year 1976. The goal was to
strengthen socialism in China by removing
capitalist, traditional and cultural elements
from Chinese society, and imposing Maos
grand plans for it. This revolution stilled thecountry and strongly affected it both
economically and socially. It resulted in
widespread dividing struggles in all walks of
life. After Mao's death in 1976, reformers led
by Deng Xiaoping gained prominence. Most of
the Maoist reforms associated with the Cultural
Revolution were abandoned by 1978. The
Cultural Revolution has been officially viewed
as an infamous phenomenon ever since.
!It would be very difficult to find a culture
that has experienced as much culture shock in
60 years as has China. However, it has already
overcome most of the shock and the results
have been surprisingly positive. China has now
become the world's fastest-growing major
economy. As of 2012, it is the world's second-
largest economy, after the United States, by
both minimal GDP (Gross Domestic Product)
and purchasing power. Also, China is the
world's largest exporter and second-largest
importer of goods. China is a recognized
nuclear weapons state and has the world's
largest standing army with everything centered
in Beijing. For much of China's population,
living standards have seen extremely large
improvements, and freedom continues to
expand, but political controls remain tight and
rural areas are still poor.
Population Demographics
Beijing started developing 700,000 years
ago. Famous for being where the Peking man
lived in the beginning, it started to gain notice
during the Shang Dynasty when it was chosen
as its capital city. It is located in Northeast
China, bordered by the Yellow Sea. Due to its
accessible location, it slowly became an
outstanding trading center of China.
Beijing became a city 3,000 years ago
(2012 is the 3057th year of Beijing). It was
favored by the Liao, Jin Yuan, Ming and Qing
Dynasties of the past and is still continually
being developed today. In the past, peoplecame to Beijing mainly because of trading.
Today, people mostly pass through Beijing
because it has become a major transportation
hub with Chinas railway network and its main
roads leading to all parts of China.
There are now many different religions in
this city. The main religions are Buddhism,
Taoism, and Confucianism. However, Taoism is
the only religion native to Beijing.
Beijing is presently also the political,
educational and cultural center of The Peoples
Republic of China. Though these are not the
only reasons, people also go to Beijing
because of work and business opportunities.
The population there at present is
approximately, 19.6 million with the major
nationalities represented being Han Chinese.
Manchu, Hui, Mongol and South Koreans are
the minorities in the city. Today, major
industries and businesses in Beijing include the
finance and automobile industries, with these
two currently being its most important.
Today people are said to choose to live in
Beijing mainly because of educational and
business opportunities. There, they can
choose to live very cheaply and get a rich
cultural experience on extremely little money
(5000yuan). Currently, Beijing is a multinational
city, as well as a major city of many different
business opportunities open for all.

Beijings Environment
Beijing started out as a quiet provincial
city in Northern China. Industrialization began
in the 1950s lasting until around the mid to late
1970s. American companies then began
pouring into the city because of the abundance
of cheap labor and the careless environmental
laws.
Today, Beijing holds no resemblance to its
quiet past. No one would ever think to
describe it as a provincial city. It continues to
grow as the center of China. However, due to
the exceedingly rapid industrialization, various
negative consequences have come up. First,
the land area of dry desert is increasing. It is
eating up usable and productive land. Next, air
pollution has become a major problem. The
presence of numerous factories and an
increasing population are causing much harm.Lastly, the increase of both surface and ocean
temperatures have increased the occurrence of
climate-related disasters such as droughts and
floods. These are current problems nonexistent
in early Beijing. Although it is popularly known
as the major city of business today, its
environment is also continuing to change
negatively as the city is developing.

All of North Korea is a jail one wise man said
and that noble man was named Kim Y. Sam. The
capital city of South Korea, Seoul, became more
popular and so the government of South Korea
improved Seoul with new landmarks, unlike
North Korea, a miserable and cruel part of Korea.
20% of South Korea belongs to Seoul, 9,895,000
out of 48,754,657. They came to Seoul from North
Korea because they were terrified.
Many Koreans thought they could usethe land to start a new building and
take advantage of it. Eventually they
did take advantage of it with new
structures and houses. Seoul is a
strong place like Chuck Norris that
traps you and never ever lets you go.

Anecdote
At Seoul there is a wonderful place calledEverland; where animals scratch and can be seenoutside your bus window. Everland is the majortheme park in South Korea. Eveland includes tonsof different rides, facilities, and has three distinctthemes: Festival World, Caribbean Bay, and SpeedWay. Caribbean Bay is a water park with waterslides and swimming pools with artificial wavesthey are just like normal waves that you can find inbeaches. In an addition, it has a safari zoo, whereyou can observe animals in their habitats in a
caged bus like when animals are caged but thistime you are and they are at their homes. Snowsleds are also added in Everland with twomountains to entertain families duringthe winter. By the time youleave you wouldprobablyreserve fornext year orface the
consequences ofyour non-stopannoyance byyour children.
Impact of the Past on the Present
Seoul was not the capital of South Korea because there was no South Korea or North Korea; it was a single country, so
Seoul wasnt as popular or advance today because it as not the capital; but with a threat from North Korea, many are
feared to go near it, because they may assault again. Seoul, before the Korean War was developing city, its still is, but
with more wonderful and ancient things.
Then everything changed when the Korean War started. China helped North Korea and the U.S. helped South Korea. Itstarted when China became communist, and the U.S. feared that communism would spread or start a domino effect.
North Korea wanted to be communist but South Korea wanted to be a democracy, creating enmity (a feeling of hostile
or killing each other).
The U.S. wanted to split Korea: North Korea and South Korea. North Korea disagreed but South Korea agreed so North
Korea took the first attack with a nuclear bomb, because they wanted Korea to be communist. Then the Korean War
started, so after a long battle during the Cold War (1945-1991) they divided Korea, thus North Korea and South Korea
were born.
As a result, the capital city of South Korea is now Seoul, a beautiful city with worthy landmarks unlike North Korea, a
sad and cruel part of Korea. Families and relative were divided when they divided Korea. China and America has a
strong feeling of enmity. Many landmarks were destroyed but were recovered after a while. A nuclear owned by North
Korea threats U.S and South Korea. North Korea and South Korea remain even more rivals, and many fear to go
anywhere near North Korea. When the capital of South Korea, Seoul, it became more popular and so the Government of
South Korea improved Seoul with new landmarks, currency, new laws, cleaner property, new transportation, and more!

Population
The capital of South Korea, Seoul was founded in 1394 by Gen, Yi Song-gye the founder ofChoson Dynasty. It was located at East Asia, in the southern half of the Korean Peninsula near
the Yellow River. This location helped Seoul for importing, water, and trading with other
cities/countries.
In the past, people came to Seoul because
there was more land and other natural
resources like water, oil, and coal. Today
many people would like to come to Seoulto find job offers like teachers, as a
secretary and vice president of a fashion
company (if you have what it takes);
resources like coal and lead for further
purposes, and finally men must server at
least two years in the military which
makes it safer for anyone who comes
when/if there is a War.
20% of South Korea belongs to Seoul,
9,895,000 out of 48,754,657. People who
live in Seoul are 26.3% Christian, 23.2% Buddhist, 1.3% other, and 49.3% none. Age
structure; under 19 26.4%, 20-50 64.7%, 60+ 8.9%.Languages: Korean and English. There is
only one major nationality in Seoul, which is Korean. The major industries and businesses are
Ace chemical, Asiana Airlines, BC cards, Daelim, other which makes electronics,
telecommunications, automobile, chemicals, ship building, etc.
Today people choose to live in Seoul due to safety, job offers, resources, easy trade, faster
transport, and because they had to get more advance because there are more people in the city.
Houses are huger than you think with an affordable price! Spas with finest back massage and
relaxation; restaurant with the best food you like, and a lot of famous singers/actors/models
are there like Ji-hyun and John Cho. Therefore Seoul is now one of the finest cities in the
country/world, making it a world attraction with its landmarks and its beautiful cravings in
and out of the landmark, like the Pongdaemun Gate.

Seoul before was a bunch ofold building, now Seoul has tallbuilding and skyscrapers.
The landscape in Seoul waschanged by the Korean Warbetween 1950-1953, when NorthKorea bombed South Korea; theirfirst objective was to bomb Seoul.When tall buildings (that wherebarely made) where hit, chunks ofthe building collapsed and the

Impact to past and present
Discover the citys Big bang. From a place urban place populated by our
ancestors,and to being one of the greatest multicultural societies in the world.Sydney used to be a
place with natives
called Aborigines.
There was an
estimated 4,000 to
8,000 Aborigines who
lived in Sydney. James
Cook a captain sailor
first discovered them in
1788. The Aborigines
spoke three languagesDharawal, Darug and
Guringai. Each
Aborigine clan had
their own territories
and their own
resources. Though that
all changed when the
Europeans arrived.
! Europeansarrived at Jan 26, 1788
their plan for Sydney
was a convict
settlement, and
founded by Arthur
Philip. Also Captain
James Cook made
contact with Aborigine
community called
Gweagal. Europeansfound Sydney cove
and made a colony
there founded by
Arthur Philip. Then
Arthur Philip named
the colony after the
British Home Secretary
Thomas Sydney. And
that is how Sydney got
its name. Today the
Aborigines population
decreased, and
roughly 1000
Aborigines died of the
smallpox back in
1789.The Europeans
also educated
Aborigines Christian
religion, and they didthis by removing them
from their clans.
Sydneys wealth
started when people
found large amounts of
gold and then they
were able to build a
much more richer
society. Without the
discovery gold, Sydney
would not have been
as wealthy and both
attractive as it is today." Now, Sydneythen became one of
the most successful
multicultural societies
in the world. It is
multicultural becauseSydney is filled with
English, Scottish, Irish,
and Chinese
immigrants. It has
many immigrants
because of vast wealth
and many businesses
to employ people.
Such jobs are in
manufacturing
companies, health and
community services
like doctors and
nurses, teachers,
bankers, etc. Today,
Sydney is such a
beautiful place with
countless attractions
like the Harbor Bridge,Opera House, and the
Sydney fish market.
Surely Sydney is a city
not to miss!!
AnecdoteSydney is one of the most amazing cities I have ever been to.
When I saw the fireworks in New Years Eve I saw a real
display!! The fire works flew out from the Sydney Harbor
Bridge. And when you look up to sky you would mostly see
sparkles of different colors. Each firework unleashed screams
of awe by the people all around Sydney. Spending New
Years Eve in Sydney was one of the best choices I have ever
made. The cities New Years Eve are fantastic and all, butSydneys beach is a competitive match. My most favorite
beach is Bondi Beach it is very sunny and you could easily
feel the soft sand on your feet. The beach is very clear and
clean, and every time I see its beach I would always have a
strong urge to jump in. I have also loved Sydney
architecture. Its designs are mostly colorful and modern, and
they also stand out in many different ways. I wish I had a
house with talented designs of Sydneys architecture. In
conclusion theyre many amazing things in Sydneysometimes I wonder whatgood it doesnt do. If I coulddescribe Sydney Id say it is a remake of a sunny heaven.

More InformationMy Day at Chadstone
Shopping Center
Melbourne Australia is a great city to go
to especially because of their big
shopping centers, fantastic landmarks to
see and visit. There are heaps of
shopping centers but in my opinion the
best is chadstone shopping center it has
great shops within like Marks &
Spencers, Target, Pumpkin Patch and
Lots of food stores.
I always walk around chadstone and
think Im in heaven I remember once
when I was there I was walking around
and saw a really nice T-shirt in the
window so I went in and bought it. Then
I felt a bit hungry so I went to the foodcourt and got a hot dog at donut king, I
also had a donut that looked like a little
girl it was very funny. After, when I was
finished shopping I went home with a
great big smile on my face making me
think I was going again.
The city of Melbourne, Australia
used to be an undiscovered part of
southeast Australia. An Aboriginal clan,
called the Kulins. Had lived there for over
30,000 years. The Kulins found this was a
great meeting point and a great source of
food and water. It was not until 1801 it
was discovered by a man sailing from New
South Wales named James Grant, when
he entered Port Philip bay.
Then everything changed when a
man called John Batman from Tasmania
went to the same area in southeastAustralia to do some grazing in 1835. He
made an agreement with the Aborigines
to rent a large area of land for grazing, in
return for food, flour, blankets and clothes.
This area was to later become the
founding site of Melbourne. In 1836 the
first government block was built and was
declared the capital of the Port Philip
district. In 1838 Melbourne was declared
a legal port and administration center and
this greatly increased the number of
people moving there. The government of
New South Wales said that John Batman
could not rent the land from the
Aboriginals, as it was the property of the
Crown of the Commonwealth. They
cancelled the rent agreement between
John Batman and the aboriginals, but let
the white settlers stay there in their new
town.
W h e n t h e Q u e e n d e c l a r e d
Melbourne a city in 25 June 1847, it was
the beginning of Melbourne becoming
the largest city in Australia, and the
temporary capital city. Many years later
the capital city was transferred to
Canberra in New South Wales. As
Melbourne expanded, the aboriginals
were forced further off their land, losingtheir normal way of life. At one point of
time Melbourne was the second largest
city in the world, behind London,
England. Melbourne had a gold rush from
1850 to the 1870s, which helped it to
grow at a fast rate and to make the people
wealthier.
Today, Melbourne has the second
highest population in Australia, and is well
known for its Multicultural way of living.It has been voted the most livable city in
the world on a number of occasions, and
is famous for its sporting events, concerts
and art scene. Melbourne now has a
chadstone shopping center

Before the big city of Melbourne
was formed, it was just bush land. But in
a period of just over two hundred years it
has grown with many buildings, roads
and bridges being built. More people
arrived as the city grew, and their way of
living grew with the changes that were
getting made. People from overseas
moved to Melbourne and gave it a
multicultural mix.
Melbourne before the 1880s was
different because there were not many
buildings and not enough work forpeople. The area of Melbourne around
the port had a lot of vacant land and the
buildings were in poor condition. Picture
1 shows the area around Melbourne Port
in 1880. There were no bridges, few
roads and a lot of smoke from factories.
The landscape changed, as bridges
and high-rise buildings were built to form
more offices and homes. These changes
occurred around the 1880s and became
the start of Melbourne becoming a large
international city.
How is Melbourne different today?
Well there are more buildings, many
more roads, large bridges linking the
different sides of the port and a big
entertainment area located around the
dock a rea . The f ac tor i e s have
disappeared and been replaced by
houses. There are more living spaces andmore places for people to work as
buildings are becoming larger. There is
also more transport being used like trams,
buses and cars.
The most informative thing I learnt
was that lots of buildings have been
renovated over the years, and that
buildings are no longer getting built in
the one place. Instead, they are spreading
out all over the city and into surrounding
suburbs and new housing developments.
As a result of al l the people moving to
Melbourne from overseas, different
suburbs have developed a unique culture.

Hey, are you up for some adventure in Ho ChiMinh
City? Well I went there lastweekend, and letme
tell you itwas a blast of metaphoric air! One of
the best places in my opinion are the C Chi
tunnels that were formally used for combat, but
were also used as supply routes. The military
troops sometimes had to stay in the tunnels for a
massive amount of time; they might even have had
to live there!

Environment
In the 15th century,
most of Saigon wasswamps, marshes, and
thick forests. People
reclaimed the land for
agricultural purposes.
The French came and
tried to turn Saigon into
the Pearl of the Far
East. The French builtwestern style buildings
and French villas. In the
midst of the war Saigon
was bombed. Even today
they have wide
boulevards and French
architecture. For the last
10 years they aredeveloping new urban
centers. They needed
farmland to grow food
and later space for thegrowing population. It
didnt have much land. In
the early 1700s they
reclaimed agricultural
land. The affect is that
they gained more land
first for agriculture then
for the city.

AN INTRODUCTION TO HONG KONG.
No city rose to its full glory in a day, and so does Hong Kong. Join me, and lets
explore Hong Kong and its diversity; from its origins, to the cherished city that
representing honor from both Britain and China to today. Hong Kong is a city
surrounded by oceans and mountains, but yet, it had strived to interact with the
outside world. Its hard to imagine that before 1842, the year the British colonized
Hong Kong, Hong Kong was little more than a backwater of around 20 villages
and slums. Hong Kong today is very different from its past. The outstanding
economics of the city has attracted many to establish their homesteads there. As a
result, Hong Kong hosts 7,722,508 citizens in the year of grace, in 2011. Poverty in
the city is weakening. Development is prevailing. Hong Kong has a bright future
waiting ahead. Please join me, and lets explore what was, is, and will be of Hong
Kong, a city with unimaginable hidden potential that has yet been explained.

A STORY OF HONG KONG + TOP 10 ATTRACTIONS
It was just another day for me, as a Hong Kong citizen. I thrown my wet overcoat sprinkled with thousands of drops of rain
onto the chair and started typing furiously on the keyboard as if playing Flight of the Bumblebee on the piano. I sipped mycoffee in the middle of a business email report for my ever-demanding and ill-tempered boss. Searching through the seaof papers, I finally accomplished my objective. I reached my hand into that enormous growing mound of papers. It was10:25 p.m. The clocks rhythmic ticking made me think I was trying to deactivate dynamite that was going to crash mycareer otherwise. Tick, tock, tick, tock it went. The frantic clattering of a keyboard accompanied the time bomb. The duewas only a few hours away and so was a nerve-racking telephone call from my anxious boss asking if I finished my work.Once the clock hits 12:00 am. and Im still typing erratically, I m dead. Maintaining Hong Kongs number one harbor,Victoria Harbor, is hard work. Most of the employees work until 2 a.m. Then they would amble out of the skyscraper ontothe road with with their dark brown suitcases, sleepy eyes and coffee. My fingers complained as I typed each word andmy brain refused the zigzagging charts and countless numbers. It was the way in Hong Kong. People had things to do asalways. Day and night, cars zoom across roads, subway trains dash on rails, and planes slice through the clouds. 11:50pm. The clocks ticks were urgent. Tick, tock, tick tock. My eyes strained, looking at the charts and emails. 12:00 a.m.now. I finally finished my last word and clicked the send button. Riiinnnnggg! The telephone rang. I picked it up.Employee, did you send me the email yet? Yes sir. My voice quivered. Whats the matter, eh? You get a promotion!Then he hung up the phone.
" I chuckled as I placed the telephone on the table, back to where it belonged. Hong Kong is always promising andwith wonderful opportunities everywhere. This graceful city is a extravagance of opportunities, where even the solemnorphans may become a businessman in a glorious skyscraper. And so, I walked home, carrying a suitcase in one hand
and a umbrella in the other. This
is Hong Kong, a
city that never
sleeps.
1. Victoria Harbor:Victoria Harbor is one of the worlds busiest harbors. Ships rush to and fro, and the cranes never rest. Also, at precisely 8
pm, the A Symphony of Lights light show begins. Tourists may take a ride on the iconic Star Ferry that sails around the lights
show, which involves buildings near Victoria Harbor. Beautiful scenery, Id say. The marvelous experience cannot be
described. Different-colored lights shoot up into the sky and sway left and right, front and back. The hidden beauty of Hong
Kong is thus revealed to the naked eye.A Star Ferry sits by Hong Kong as the lights illuminate the city and dramatically
impact the tourists mind.
2. The Peak:
The Peak is superior. It leads the tourism industries and attractions, which follow it humbly and eagerly. You must take
the local tram to The Peak After the tram ride, you will step onto a viewing platform, where a miraculous view of Hong Kong
would be discovered.

Hong Kong used to be a small group of solitary and depressed fishing villages of the Qing Dynasty (1635-1911) in China.The former Hong Kong was a place where fishermen cast their nets and menacing pirates robbed the innocent. It was acolony of Britain from 1842 to 1997 and returned to China on July 1, 1997 as a Special Administrative Region (SAR). Themarvelous Hong Kong today truly witnessed drastic changes in its history.! Before 1842, Hong Kong was little more than a backwater of around 20 villages and slums when the British EastIndia Company sent its first ship to Hong Kong in 1685 as an attempt to begin trade with China. The attempt wassuccessful, but Britain was in short supply of items China would be interested in to trade, so, the British traded opium, atype of illegal drug, for the precious silver of the Chinese. When the Qing Dynasty government realized that its peoplewere getting addicted to opium and the humongous supply of silver China had was rapidly vanishing, the Qing Dynastystopped all trade with Britain. The British then declared war on China as a response to the trade embargo. This war wascalled the Opium War (1839-1842). The Chinese lost the war, and was forced to hand over Hong Kong to the British for99 years.! During the British colonization, Hong Kong grew into a major free port of trade and its economy grew too. Itgained importance, for it was a huge trading center between mainland China and Europe. In the early 1980 s, Chinesegovernment requested the British to return Hong Kong to China. Negotiations about Hong Kong s future between the twocountries lasted for almost 15 years. Den Xiaoping, a skilled Chinese leader guided the Chinese side in the negotiations.Finally, the negotiations concluded and the British agreed to hand over Hong Kong to China. The British flag lowered asthe Chinese flag rose in Hong Kong on July 1, 1997. After the reunion with China, Hong Kong maintains its capitaliststatus while mainland China is socialist. This is called One Country, Two Systems.! Hong Kong was dramatically changed by its history. Many Europeans migrated to Hong Kong with their culturesduring the British colonization period of Hong Kong. After World War II, the city welcomed a huge amount of mainlandChinese along with the ambulant supply of labor from the Chinese migrants. With the unmatchable labor, Hong Kongstarted to invest more money in its infrastructure and business. During and after the British rule, companies and banksmoved into Hong Kong and strived the local economy and international trade. Lastly, the British and Chinesegovernments cooperated well mostly in the negotiations in the late 1990s generally.! As a result, the city of Hong Kong is now a, or possibly the regional and global trade center of China. The 2012Hong Kong is now the topnotch city where skyscrapers rocket to the stars and a major financial center where banks floodthe streets, cherishing millions and billions of dollars in its vaults. Business in Hong! Kong strives in an outstanding environment, which is supported mainly by Hong Kongs fair and good rule of law.The citys economy has been rapidly booming too. The GDP in 2010 reached $225 billion (dollars) with a per capita of$45,900 (dollars). Lastly, Hong Kong enjoys a wide range of cultural diversity.

THE POPULATION OF HONG KONG
Before 1842, Hong Kong was nothing more than a gloomy fishing village. People would rarely go to Hong Kong, for itwas small and dangerous. The handful of people that went to Hong Kong would either fish or rob and raid the otherfishermen. The villagers back then did not realize the value of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is near Indonesia, thePhilippines, and a collection of other islands, meaning that trade could begin easily with other countries. China couldtrade their gold and silver for spices and other exotic items found in tropical areas. Join me, and let s explore thepopulation-related information about Hong Kong, a city located at 22 degrees North and 114 degrees East.
"Hong Kong has guided its citizens to success in the world of business with marvelous job opportunities.
Education is a valued job in the society for those willing to pass on their knowledge for the success of futuregenerations. Since Hong Kong depends on its tourism industry as a major source of income, lots of Hong Kongcitizens are eager to welcome foreigners to the wonderful Hong Kong as their jobs. The urbanized Hong Kong is to bemuch thanked for the construction field of job opportunities and the enthusiastic workers and architecture specialists.Exporting and importing is, undoubtedly, the greatest and most skillfully managed job for businessmen,businesswomen, and workers. It is this job, so professional and natural to Hong Kong citizens, that has made HongKong Asias World City, Hong Kongs motto, and poured money into the GDP sack. Manufacturing is also one ofthe most influential and attractive jobs for young people. Without rapid manufacturing of products, how may Hong Kongestablish its advanced trading in the depth of the busy harbors? The governmental organizations may attract the morepeople to help the country. These governmental and political jobs are fantastic, but they are also the most stressful anddemanding job opportunities Hong Kong has in store.
" Although Hong Kong does not hold much resources, the citys geography represents a powerful resource.Hong Kong is surrounded by extremely deep water. Thus, this creates a natural structure for harbors, which HongKong is dependent on primarily. Hong Kong has also established successful multinational companies, like ChinaSolutions.
" China Solutions is a company introducing and aiding foreign companies that have established a branch ofbusiness in Hong Kong. The company educates other companies about Hong Kongs business basics and patterns,stock market status, environment, and local interests. China Solutions has also established branch companies in otherpart of Asia and some parts of North America, which has made it a multi-national company.
" Business and job opportunities are important reasons why people come to Hong Kong. But most businessmenand women rush to Hong Kong to scuffle about the complex business plans, and back to their own countries the nextday. Most people that have migrated to Hong Kong to live there are attracted not only by the business opportunities,but also by the free business environment. Since the city is a SAR (Special Administrative Region), it enjoys a highdegree of autonomy and economic freedom. Families from mainland China may migrate to Hong Kong to pursue their
goals and, at the same time, serve their country rightfully." Also, people in Hong Kong can also enjoy wonderful views from skyscrapers, like sunsets, busy harbors, andgreen mountains. Safety is another major reason why people would settle their families in Hong Kong. Being one of thetop 5 safest big cities in the world, Hong Kong only experiences minor drug issues, and this problem is being resolvedby the police.
" Hong Kongs transportation system is among the worlds most advanced. The constant stream of cars underthe night sky is a symbol of Hong Kongs great transportation.

Hong Kongs original landscape was never drastically changed before 1842. Small clearing were made
only where the few fishing villages are located. Natures mountains and hills in Hong Kong prevailed
despite the iron mining industry, which was poorly maintained. Small fishing boats floated on the sea.
Fishing was the only source of income that benefited Hong Kong. There were also small amounts of iron
in the depth of the mountains. The mining was not a full scale resource extraction, it was a small-scale
one. After the British colonization of Hong Kong in 1842, the foreigners adapted to the environment
because of the useful geography. The sea surrounding Hong Kong was deep. The British discovered that
this geography of Hong Kong was extremely good for harbors and made lots of them.
" When the British colonized Hong Kong, they started heavy construction as their first major attempt
to develop Hong Kong. The original villages collapsed and gave way to large European style buildings.
The British government hurried the construction of Hong Kong until when no space is left for any further
urbanization. And thus, the destruction of mountains began. Dynamite shook the landscape. The
mountains were flattened. Another major construction project started to make Hong Kong even bigger and
more luxurious. Huge harbors were built for trade. The undeveloped primitive houses were turned into
grand apartments of luxury. When development space finally ran out, reclaimed land was the solution. The
British made land and hurried off erratically into the construction battlefield once again. From 1842-1940,
this development took place. Luckily, World War II did not ruin the city completely, but life standards for the
citizens were spoiling. After World War II, the city was rebuilt. More complicated skyscrapers were built
from 1945-1997. The British had launched its third major construction of the city. Hong Kong grew rapidly.
The people were proud, the government was proud, the city was proud. After the British colonization end
in 1997, Hong Kong continued to develop rapidly in the hands of the Chinese. The inexhaustible supply of
labor from China was a key reason of Hong Kongs success. More shining skyscrapers were built after
1997. The harbors were modern. Victoria Harbor is one of the most beautiful harbors today. It had the
deepest water in Hong Kong and was humongous. The harbor was so influential that it became a tourist
attraction too. Reclaimed land is popular in Hong Kong today as a solution to minimal land. Many
homeless and poor people were given opportunities to move into skyscrapers. Poverty in Hong Kong was
weakening. More and more slums turned into urbanized areas. Development in Hong Kong continuesconsistently. Hong Kong has a bright future ahead.

is the Daman-e-Koh. It is ranked no.
1in the trip advisor. It is a very
beautiful site to have pick nicks and
family gatherings. You can see the

sunset. The restaurants there are
great and some of people come there
just to eat. The Feisal mosque and you

Environment
These pictures show how
people made a big changed in
landscape and environment of
Islamabad in the past decades.
BEFORE - Islamabads natural
environment was preserved. It
was one of the earliest
settlements for human in Asia.
There were lots of gardens, no
roads and no lights. It was just a
plain land area with a population
of 100,000. But the location ofthis place is almost at the centre
of Pakistan. In 1960, they started
the construction of this city as it
replaces Karachi as the capital of
the country.
They were renovated the
Parliament House. They did this
on the orders of the Speaker and
Prime Minister. They started
building monuments and road
construction for better access to
the place. They divided it into
different sector and zone.
AFTER - The city is now home
to Faisal Mosque, the!largestmosque!in!South Asia!andthe!sixth largest mosque!in theworld. The population increased
to 1.7 million in 2011, because
people are transferring in this city
due to better opportunity.
Islamabad is known as the city of
peace and it is a safe place to
explore. There is still a lot ofgreenery but the economic growth
is much visible now. Islamabad
had developed a lot like shopping
malls, nice hotels, architectural
mosque and government offices.
This place is a very big tourist
attraction.

Islamabad was
established in 1960 by
president Ayub Khan. This
city is very accessible to allparts of Pakistan, so it was
decided to make this city as
Pakistans capital instead of

In 2011 the population
increased to 1.7 million, andthis is mainly because
people are transferring to
this city looking for better
opportunities. There are lots
of job opportunities in this
city because of the different
businesses and
establishments. Most of theevents like social, diplomatic
and summits are held in this
city.
Persuasive Piece
Did you know that Islamabad is
called the city of peace? This city was
surrounded by lush greens, clean water
and pollution free with only few people
living in it. The construction of this city
started 1960, as it replaced Karachi,
which was until that time the capital of
the country. There is still a lot of
greenery, but the economic growth is
much visible now. Islamabad had
developed a lot of shopping malls, nice
hotels, architectural mosque and
government offices. This place is a very
big tourist attraction. Come and see the
beauty of Islamabad!

Past to present
Islamabad was not the first capital
city of Pakistan. It is located north
west of Lahore and west of
Afghanistan. This city was
pollution free with only few
people living in it and surrounded
by lush greens, had clean water
and. It became capital of Pakistan
in 1960.
In 1947, the first capital city of
independent country was Karachi.Karachi is located at the end of the
country and this makes it more
vulnerable for attacks from theArabian Sea. Then in 1960 the
president Ayub Khan decided that
the capital will be moved to newly
build city, Islamabad, because it is
located in the centre of the
Pakistan and it is more accessible
from all parts of the country
compared to Karachi, and it was
closer to the army. In 1960 the
development and construction of
the city started. There were new
roads, buildings, monuments and
government offices added to thecity. Some of the most popular
places in Islamabad are Faisal
Mosque, Serena Hotel, parliament
house and Pakistan Monument.The modern Islamabad now
provides more job opportunities to
p e o p l e . M o r e b u s i n e s s
establishments are seen in the city.
The city also hosted several large
events for the Asian region, like
the south Asian Association for
Regional Cooperation summit and
Sports activities, like 2004 South
Asian games, which was held inJinnah Sports Stadium.

Impact of the Past on the
Present
By: Andres
Dubai was a very remote city
with very few resources. Thecity, not only did it have limited
resources, it was basically old
ruins and desert. Since the
desert climate was harsh the
population was very low. Dubai
was known only for gold mining,
fishing and as a pearling center.
Dubai did not make a lot of
money and depended a lot on
its neighbor Abu Dhabi.
Suddenly, everything
changed. In 1966 oil was found
in vast quantities and many
countries wanted that oil. At
first, Dubai traded only with
members of the UAE, but in late
1969 Dubais Sheik HH
Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum decided it would be
better for the country to trade
with the rest of the world. As the
oil sales grew, so did Dubai. The
economy grew in an
unbelievably fast pace.
Eventually, the prince
realized that their oil was going
to run out sooner or later and
they would get in trouble, so he
decided that the country had to
grow in other ways. Buildings
were built and the city expanded
drastically. By 2004, Dubaisconstruction industry was
booming and the economy kept
expanding. Oil has made what
Dubai is today: A modern,
vibrant, and extraordinary city.
ANECDOTE
Anecdote
Being on the top of the
Burj Khalifa might be the
closest Ive been to
heaven. The tower was like
a modern looking MountEverest. I could reach the
clouds! The Burj Khalifa
is incredibly high rising
at 829.84 m! It also
serves as a restaurant,
and a hotel. The food
there was a mix of modern
Dubai food and classic
Middle Eastern food; it
was so yummy! I did feel a
bit scared when I got to
the observation deck
because if you look down,
you get extremely dizzy.
The elevators were made to
go really fast and it only
takes a few seconds to get
to the top floor (it
actually broke a record).
The Burj Khalifa set a
record when in New Years
Eve because it had the
worlds highest display of
fireworks. The fireworks
jumped out of the tower
and burst into explosions
of color! The outsideObservation deck made me
see the beautiful city of
Dubai; with buildings
popping out of every nook
and cranny of the city.
Then after that I went
over too the swimming pool
(on the 76th floor!) and
went for a swim. On a cold
day the water is cold but
it was a bright sunny day
when I went there. Since
it is very expensive to
stay in the Burj Khalifa;
I had to leave but I hope
that I will be able to go
again.

Population of Dubai
Dubai was found in June 9th 1883 by
Hamadan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al
Maktoum, Dubai was only involved with
fellow UAE members until the British
came and conquered the city; this hadbenefits and downsides, the British
taught them English, but also took control
of their trade until December 2, 1971 with
a peace treaty. In the 18th century many
people came to Dubai for trade since it is
located in the Middle East. The Middle
East was where everyone wanted to go to
because of the large amount of gold and
other stuff such as spices, gems/jewels,
etc. that couldnt be found in Europe.
Today, Dubais economy is huge and still
is expanding due to the oil discovery in
1966. Dubai offers a lot of employment in
many different areas of work.
Construction and architecture are
probably the most common company
structures but also there are many oil
companies like Chevron, ADNOC,
Anadarko, and ENOC. There are also
many beautiful sights in Dubai that will
take your breath away like: Burj Khalifa,
Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, and the
desert areas. Due to the oil discovery the
population is booming at 1,442,000
compared to 58,000 in 1968. Now that
the trade is huge and many countries
want to go there are a lot of nationalities
represented in Dubai for example:
Emirate (Local UAE), Arab, Iranians,
South Asians, Western (North and South
America), East Asians, Turks, Filipinos, Sri
Lankan, Indians, Pakistani, and
Europeans. Along with the nationalities
there are also many religions for example:
Islam, Muslim, Catholic/Christian, and
Hindu. Surprisingly, there are more men
than women. Dubai also has a very high
life expectancy 76.51 years in average.
The most important thing about Dubai is
its wonderful sights and economic
opportunities.

Changes to the Environment
The People of Dubai have
changed the environment
commercial, economic, and
climate issues. Before Dubai was
Basically Desert and small
buildings. The city wasnt making
money and it depended a lot on
Abu Dhabi since Abu Dhabi is a
bigger city than Dubai. Everything
changed when Dubai found oil,
then the prince realized that this
could help boost their economy,
but they only traded with fellow
members of the UAE. When they
sold their oil to the other
members of the UAE they didnt
make as much money as they
thought. when the Prince saw
this; he knew that Dubai was
never going to succeed if they
dint trade with other countries. When they decided to open
up the trade to other countries in 1969, they received far
much more money than they
expected and no longer
depended on Abu Dhabi focused
that money on commercial
reasons: they expanded the
streets made buildings, and
expanded the city because the
Prince knew that their oil was
going to run out eventually. Dubai
made buildings that go with theenvironment and battle the heat.
Since Dubai is a relatively small
city; instead of making houses that
could only hold on family, they
made buildings that could hold
more than one family in one spot.
That is why you will find almost no
houses in Dubai. Now, the people
of Dubai changed the landscape
and made buildings that bring more
people to Dubai to work, live, and have fun.

I love shopping at the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.
The Grand Bazaar has everything you could
wish for. The Grand Bazaar has everything fromearrings to handbags, clothes, pottery, spices,
restaurants, and last but not least Turkish
Delights! When I first got there I went into a
watch shop. When I was inside I walked right up
to a counter and saw a watch that could glow in
all the colors of the rainbow! All you had to do
was to press a little button. It was as if a
rainbow had been mushed into the watch. I was
so happy that I had a new watch that whenever
someone walked past me I would make my watch
shine brightly. When the people saw my watch
and myself they would look at me with a scared
and horrified look as though I was crazy. Then
they would look at my watch with fascination,
which I think was totally unfair because I had
just had my hair done.
I was very hungry after walking around all day
and it was about 3 pm, so I decided to walk
further along the street. At the corner of a street
called Kalazoo I saw a caf that was called
Bla. I thought that was a very odd name for a
caf but as I walked in I could understand way
they called it Bla. The walls were a slimy
green color that had a hint of poop colored
brown; the walls reminded me of when my
grandma was sick. My grandma had been puking
up this liquid that was not brown or green, it was
a mixture of the two. Her puke looked like it wascoming from a walrus that had a bad case of the
diarrhea, but for my grandma I think it was
coming out of the wrong end. The tables were
shaped like smiley faces but the smiley faces
werent happy, they looked like my grandma when
she was sick. There faces were as brown as the
dirt after a mudslide and the faces looked like they
were in pain. The chairs were pink and fluffy
and looked very comfy. The only I had was the
shape of the chair. The chair was shaped like a
mouth but not the mouth of a human but of a
werewolf with pink blood dripping from the
sharp teeth that were sticking out at the top of the
pink fluffy chair.
As I sat down on the werewolf seat, a waiter
came up to me and gave me a cup of hot
chocolate. The cup of hot chocolate I got smelled
like noting I had ever smelled in my life. Itsmelled so good that I swooned. The cup of hot
chocolate was in a normal cup (it was the only
normal thing in the caf). On top of the hot
chocolate, carefully perched was a mountain of
whipped cream that had been carefully sprinkled
with caramel syrup. When I picked up the hot
chocolate I could smell the melted caramel syrup,
I could smell the melted chocolate, and I could
smell the teaspoon of sugar they had put in the
hot chocolate. When the first drop of hot
chocolate had landed in my mouth it was like an
explosion in my mouth that had awakened all my
taste buds so they could absorb the taste of the
hot chocolate. The melted caramel just flowed in
my mouth like a waterfall. The whipped cream
was white as snow, smooth and thick, and it
tasted sweet like candy but at the same time it
was very plain without the hot chocolate. When
the whipped cream hit the bottom of my mouthalong with the hot chocolate and melted caramel it
was as if 3 different explosions went off at the
same time filling my mouth with a sweet
chocolaty taste. When I left caf Bla I had a
longing to come back. To my surprise not many
people new about caf Bla. That day at the
grand Bazaar was like a box of magic tricks,
new things just kept happening.

PEOPLE IN ISTANBUL PAGE3
Population and Resources
Istanbul was first called Byzantine and was founded
by the Greeks around 600 BC. When the Romans
conquered Byzantine they renamed it Constantinople.
It was not until 1453 when the Ottoman Turks
conquered Constantinople that the city got the name
Istanbul. In 1923 Ataturk established the Republic ofTurkey and Turkey moved into the modern era. One of
the first things that Ataturk did was to move the
capital from Istanbul to Ankara.
Istanbul lies on both the European and on the Asian
sides of the Bosphorus and it is the only city in the
world that is situated on two continents. The
Bosphorus is the sea that separates Asia and Europe.
Its location is ideal for trade and has attracted people
from all over the world since it was first established.
In the past people would come to Istanbul to buy and
sell products in the huge markets. One such market is
the Grand Bazaar. It is one of the largest and oldest
covered markets in the world, with more than 58
covered streets and over 4,000 shops. Here people
would trade spices, food, pottery, jewelry and all kinds
of things.
Even though Istanbul is no longer the capital it has
remained the main center for trade and culture. Today
Istanbul is a well-developed city, vibrant and full of
life, colors, scents and people from many cultures and
nationalities can be there. Istanbul is like a bowl of
different colored candy. The economy is good and has
a promising future. Many people come to Istanbul to
work and others come as tourists. Because of its
location and long tradition of trade, there are many
businesses. Some are big and some are small. Some of
the biggest industries are carpets, marble, wood, and
packaging. There are also many other jobs for people
such as teachers, doctors, artists, taxi drivers and
nannies. Tourists come to enjoy the exquisite food, the
fantastic handicrafts and the beautiful historical sites
including the Grand Bazaar which attracts between
250,000 and 500,000 visitors every day.
In Turkey there are 78,785,584 people, and in
Istanbul there are 10.378 million people. Of this
10.378 million people 99.8% are Sunni Muslim
that means that less than 0.2% are Jewish and
Christian. In Istanbul there are 94 different
nationalities represented. The top 10 main
nationalities in Istanbul are: Turkish, American,
British, Dutch, Canadian, Russians, German,
French, Italians, and Australians. The official
language in Turkey is Turkish but they speak other
languages such as Kurdish, Dimli, Zaza, Azeri,
Kabardian, Arabic, Circassian, Greek, Armenian,
Judezmo, and Gagauz. Istanbul is like a box of every
flavored jelly beans.

When Ataturk became President he wanted Istanbul to be a better
and safer place to live. He changed Istanbul by starting a big building
project, developing roads and developing building rules. People adapted
because people like to live in a city that is nice, functions,
