I believe that Rome is truly the
place to be if you want to have an amazing experience. Wondering around
beautiful artefacts and falling in love with the City itself and not just the
men and women ;)
Why Rome?
I love reading Mythological books,
especially Percy Jackson and the sequel series to it. Mostly because of the
greek and roman gods, for some reason i just find them interesting. Not only
that but Rome has the most beautiful historical artefacts, even though they’re
old but they are still amazingly beautiful.
Roman Gods/Goddesses
I believe there are temples or
structure for Roman gods.
The Pantheon
A building which holds respect for
ALL gods! Its considered to be one of the best-preserved buildings in rome. I
would LOVE to visit the pantheon and see all the roman god’s and goddesses’s
statues.
Types of Gods &
Goddesses
Jupiter – The King of Gods, he is able to hurl
lightning bolts wherever and whenever
Juno – The wife and sister of Jupiter,
therefore the Queen, she watched over all the women in Rome.
Neptune – King of the Sea and brother of
Jupiter.
Pluto – King of the Underworld and another
brother of Jupiter
Mars – God of war and Son of Jupiter
Mercury – Messenger of the gods and Son of
Jupiter
Apollo – God of the sun, light and music and
Son of Jupiter
Diana – Goddess of the hunt and Apollo’s twin
sister
Minerva – Goddess of Wisdom
Venus – Goddess of love and beauty
The Colosseum
The colosseum is an amazing
spectacle, which can hold up to apparently 50,000 – 80,000 people! Just
amazing!
It was mainly used for gladiatorial
contests.
What’s a Gladiator?
I would love to see a gladiator
fight. Though i am not one for violence and fighting but i believe it will be
an amazing experience to watch a fight. Or if possible i would to try on
Gladiator uniform
Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain is one of the most
famous fountains in the world. It holds it’s own legend.
What’s the Legend?
Legend has it that thirsty Roman
soldiers were guided to a source of pure water by a young girl. The discovery
of this source of water led to the commission of a construction of an aqueduct
leading to the city of Rome. It was name Aqua Virgo (Virgin Waters) in honour
of the young girl.
Throw in a coin?
It is believed that if you throw a
coin from your right hand over your left shoulder, your wish may come true. I
should think of my wish and make sure it comes true when i visit Rome!
What's the country you want to go to because of it's history?
We are close to Canberra, close to Hunter Valley, close to Blue Mountains and not that far from Gold Coast and Brisbane.
But Australia is HUGE.
If you want to explore Australia by car it can take you months and months to do that.
Uluru, is a place that is not too close but not that far.
Living in Sydney for nearly 3 years, Uluru always makes me so curious. Only few hours from Sydney, it can take you to Northern Territory and head to Kings Canyon and red rocks like Kata Tjuta and National park.
We can easily find information about Uluru. It was originally called Ayers Rock, named by William Gosse in 1873 after Sir Henry Ayers. Uluru is its Aboriginal and official name.
The famous sunrise and sunset makes me feel that I have to visit this amazing place at least once in my life. I don't really know about the history of the area, but by chance I saw my friend post photos she took at Ayers Rock at sunrise and sunset and I think it was amazing.
Nature is so touching, you can never imagine what it can do.
According to my friends, there are a few things you must do at Uluru.
First, is base walk. It is the best way to get you around this beautiful place.
Second, is viewing Uluru at sunrise and sunset. You definitely need to arrange your accommodation before you do these two.
Third, is culture center. If you run into this beautiful place but want to learn more, culture center can help you out with what you want to know about Uluru and provide an introduction to Anangu culture.
