Nagasaki
This picture reminds us World War 2. At that time, two major countries were invading the other countries. They are Germany and Japan. Germany conquered European countries, its neighboring countries. Japan conquered Asia. Germans are known as Nazi and Japaneses are known as fascists. However, this picture shows about Japanese' loss. United States dropped a nuclear bomb which is called Fat Man. It killed thousands of people. It was became like that because at the first place, Japan attacked Pearl Habor, United States, without declaration. Japanese destroyed so many ships and also killed their people. Moreover, Japan was conquering the Asia which caused World War 2 in some ways. Futhermore, Japan was the alliance of Germany. Fat Man, destroyed the whole Nagasaki. People, today, who are the generation of those who killed by the atomic bomb are suffering. It is because the radiation released from the bomb is too powerful.
American Football
This is American Football. Most of the people see it as a weird game. Yes, it is kind of weird but it is also interesting. It is similar to Rugby. However, in Rugby, you can pass the ball as many times as you want but in American Football, you can pass only four times. Rugby does not allow foward pass but American Football does. It also plays with eleven players in each team. You would see violents, almost in the whole game. It is because this game has a lot of physical contacts. If you are not strong enough, you should not play this game. As you can see in the picture, the guy wearing white jersey was tackled by black jersey guy to clear the way for the guy who holding the ball. Another thing is they call it American Football. However, almost the whole game, they play with hand. That is why people see it as a weird game. Because of this game, there is a another word, soccer, for football(UK) to ensure there is no confusion between the two games.
Barack Obama
Do you know who is the man talking in the picture? He is Barack Obama, senator of Democratic party from United States. There is a signboard 'Change We Can Believe In'. The people behind him those same signboards. They are supporting Barack Obama. This picture was taken when he was giving a speech. They were under the sun as we can see. People are listening him carefully. Most of them are smiling and it shows that they like his talk. One word, Mr.Obama always uses is 'HOPE'. He has published a book called The Audacity of Hope. He is an ambitious man. He is ambitions are for United States and poor countries. He won almost every votes. Although he is just 46 years old, he has the abilities to lead United States and save the world. He is someone the United States really needs and also the whole world. He said that he would stop Iraq war. He does not oppose all wars but he opposes dumb wars.
World Trade Center
All of you know what this picture is. Once which was known as the tallest bulidings in the world. This is world trade centre. It is also known as Twin Towers. We can see two burning towers in the picture. It reminds us the day, September 11. This simply shows the threat of terrorism. It is because that was done by terrorists. They killed so many innocent people. Many lives were lost without any reasons. It was just because they hate United States. They even sacrificed their own lives to kill innocent people. They attacked the two towers by airplanes. So, not only the people who were in the building died. All passengers in the planes were killed too. They are extreme. There are other terrorisms in different part of world. All of us really should be vigilant. September 11 is unforgettable day. This also says that we should never harm anybody just because of our hatred.

Alexander The Great
Let's make a good guess about this picture. Who is the person riding the horse? We all know him very well. He is Alexander The Great. This is just a painting of him. We will have a very great impression by looking at his expression and position. The way he holds his sword in the picture is normally done by the warriors who won the battle. So, from the picture, we can say that he was a successful warrior. Yes, he was. There is an honorable history about him and wicked battles he had succeeded. He was one of the most successful military commanders of all time and is presumed undefeated in battle. He is the youngest general in the history. He was born in Macedonia and died at Babylon. He died at the age of 32. 32 years old is really young. Yet, he had conquered other strong countries and built a huge empire. I would like to share one of his quotes. It is "I'm not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep. I'm afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion".

A classroom of Finnish School
Do you all know what is this picture? This is a picture of a classroom in Finland. The room is very clean and small. There are only 25 to 30 students in one class. We can see the wooden desks and chairs. It is because in Finland, 77 percent of the land is covered by forests. Thus, they use more wooden furnitures than plastic ones. There is a notice board at the back of the class. So, students can post their works on there. They do have a cupboard at the corner. On the extreme right bottom of the picture, you can see a white color thing. It is actually a heater. Finland is a Temperate country and very near to Artic region. So that, temperature in winter is -25`C and in summer, it is about 20`C.

Inn Lay
This is Inn Lay, Myanmar. The meaning of Inn Lay is small lake. But Inn Lay is actually big. We call it as a long lake because it is about 13 miles long. One of the tribes live there. They build their house on the water. They make their plantation on the water. The spend their whole lives living there. It is like a small town. Inn Lay has boats market, a monastery, pagodas and restaurants. Boats market is a market but their stores are their boats. They bring whatever items or grocers they want to sell and row the boats around that area. This photo is one of the beautiful view I took there while I was sitting on the boat. Boats are the only transportation in Inn Lay.

Michael Jackson
Do you know who is this? Make a clever guess. I am sure you know him very well. Yes, he is Michael Jackon. He is the king of pop. He is the he most dominant pop singer in the world ever. He was actually African-American but he underwent a surgery to change his skin color. It was because at that time, there were a lot of discrimination to the black people. It is very unpleasant. However, he coud make himself somebody. All the Hollywood stars and singers respect him. It is simply because of his style. He is very unique as you can see from the picture. His clothes are different from other dancers. In 1982, he issued his second epic album, Thriller, which made him very famous. He put his best effort in every his shows. That is why he became top. He is also known as the moon walker. Now he is 50 years old but still a well known singer who ever live.
This is a castle
It is me again. I have so many things to talk about this picture. Although, I have so many to share, I will talk some of my favorites. The building behind me is a castle in Finland. It is one of the four famous castles in Finland. I had never been to any castles in the world. I had seen castles from movies and pictures but not in real life. That was my very first time to a castle. I had wondered how important is a castle in ancient time. Now, it is very clear as I saw how they planned before they built a castle. I am sure that you know the purposes of a castle. So, I will not explain that part. I was pleased that locals brought my friends and me to there. We were on students exchange program between Finland and Singapore. I have learnt so many things about cultures of Northern European countriesand Finland. The trip to the castle is highly memorial moment for me.

Forbidden Buddha Statues
Wow! So many statues of Buddha. I took that picture in eastern part of Burma, Shan state. Burma is famous for Buddhism. This was inside a very huge cave. There are 9000 of Buddha statues. Their sizes are not same. Some may be about 7 feet high. Some can be as small as an English text book. Those statues are not made in modern age. They have been there for long time. If you are not familiar with the cave, it is like a maze. You have to go with a guide or local. Otherwise, you will be trapped. I have already been there for a few times. So, I can walk into the cave alone. That place is very interesting as it has been there for more than one thousand years from the information of scientists from different countries

Padaung
This is what I call knowledge. It is me, Zarni and I took a photo together with a Padaung girl. Padaung is one of the tribes from Burma. They are the minority of Burma. The speak different languange. Those who live near urban areas can speak Burmese as well. They are strange people. It is because women of the tribe wear ornaments known as neck rings, brass coils that are placed around the neck. It is their culture. Some of them the fled to Thailand due to the danger of the military government. Then, they became stateless in Thailand. You can search Padaung in internet. That was the first time I could see them face to face. Most of the time I saw them on television.

East Coast
You can see the sea behind the three guys. Guess what? It was taken at East Coast. I took this photo. This is another picture of friendship but this time round, it is only Burmese. Ye, Aung, and Zaw (from the left). We like to go the place like east coast, Sentosa and so on. However, Singapore has limited area and there are only a few places to go. Therefore, we have to go same places with different versions. Different versions mean sometimes we go there for cycling and sometimes for swimming. At that time, we went to East Coast to cycle as you can see from their outfits. Make sure all of us are not bored. The place we go most in Singapore is Orchard.
Our Friendship
This was taken in Orchard MRT station. We are very good friends to one another. We went out at least once a week the last time. Now we are busy with school works. That day was Singapore National Day. In the picture, although Khairil is the only Singaporean, Aung, Rudolvo, Aven and I celebrated the National day with him. It is simply because we live here, we study here and we have fun here. We took this photo by the reflection of the window of a security door. Kiatisak was there too but he was not in the picture. We are from different countries. However, we form a great friendship and enjoy living in Singapore.

East Coast Dance
Everyone has at least one favorite art. All human beings are made up of fine arts. As I am one of them, I have my favorite art too. It is dancing. I like to dance as you can see from the picture and I feel so ecstasy when I am dancing. This photo was taken at east coast by Aung, my close friend. We both like to dance. At that time, I was posing one of the Micheal Jackson's move. Meanwhile, I was dancing on the stone table. It is quite smooth and able to dance. The scenery seems good to dance as trees are around us. The surrounding is green and green represents the coolness.
