A waterfall is usually a geological formation resulting from water, often in the form of a stream, flowing over an erosion-resistant rock formation that forms a sudden break in elevation or nickpoint.

Some waterfalls form in mountain environments where the erosive water force is high and stream courses may be subject to sudden and catastrophic change. In such cases, the waterfall may not be the end product of many years of water action over a region, but rather the result of relatively sudden geological processes such as landslides, faults or volcanic action.

Waterfalls may also be artificial, and they are sometimes created as garden and landscape ornaments. See below some of the most interesting waterfalls of the world.

1. Angel Fall, Venezuela, world’s biggest waterfall! 973 metres fall.

Understand

Angel Falls or Salto Ángel is the world’s highestwaterfall, dropping a total of 978m from the summit of the Auyan Tepuy, and with an 807m uninterrupted drop.

History

In 1937 pilot Jimmy Angel landed on the Auyan Tepuy in search of gold. Unfortunately his plane got stuck and he wasn’t able to take off. After 11 days he made it to Kamarata. His plane was later recovered and can be seen in front of the airport at Ciudad Bolivar.

How do you feel near a really big water fall? Very little, indeed! You are smaller than a bee, you are unsignificant. It is an usefull exercise, if you try to understand yourself and what role you play in the world. It is like a pray in a temple. Tell me more about your strong impressions near waterfalls or somewhere else. But only strong capital experiences and impressions count!

2. Rockefeller Center. Culture, sport, pubs etc . Something for everyone, guaranteed.

3. The Twins. Or the place where were the Twins(=ground zero). What do you think: should this place remain untouched, as an eternal remember,or should be risen another building?

Next year, by the Olympic Games, I want to be there and watch them alive . I want to taste and try to understand an old civilization and a huge country and people(more than 1,3 billion peoples! Can you imagine? All of them need to work, has hungry or thirsty). How long could be a traffic jam in Shanghai? How expensive will be Shanghai usually and during the Olympic games?I would like to reveal now facts from the history of Shanghai.

Shanghai (Chinese: Pnyin: Shànghai; ), situated on the banks of the Yangtze River Delta in the eastern China, is the largest city of the People’s Republic of China and the eighth largest in the world. Widely regarded as the citadel of China’s modern economy, the city also serves as one of the nation’s most important cultural, commercial, financial, industrial and communications centers. Administratively, Shanghai is a municipality of the People’s Republic of China that has province level status. Shanghai is also one of the world’s busiest ports, and became the largest cargo port in the world in 2005.

Originally a fishing town, Shanghai became China’s most important city by the twentieth century and was the center of popular culture, intellectual discourse and political intrigue during the republican era. After the communist takeover in 1949, Shanghai languished due to heavy central government taxation and cessation of foreign investment, and had many of its supposedly “bourgeois” elements purged. Following the central government’s authorization of market economic redevelopment of Shanghai in 1992, Shanghai has now surpassed early-starters Shenzen and Guanzhou, and has since led China’s economic growth. Some challenges remain for Shanghai at the beginning of the 21st century, as the city struggles to cope with increased worker migration, a huge wealth gap, and environmental degradation. Despite these challenges, Shanghai’s skyscrapers and modern lifestyle are often seen as representing China’s recent development.

1. Austrian Alps. You can ski(on glaciers), you can stay very cheap(aprox. 30 Euros), you can eat and drink , you can party. You can visit Viena, Salzburg, you are in the middle of Europe!

2. The romanian monasteries from Bucovina(e.g. Voronet, Putna, Moldovita, Sucevita). You can feel yourself closer to God and the sky, and think about Stephen the Great, the most important Medium Age ruler of Moldavia, who build all these Monasteries. He is a (living) legend, you can hear a plenty of jokes about him even today! Find a lot of cheap or expensive pensions and hotels, some of them in an untouched nature.

3.Rome. A symbol of religion, a symbol of faith, a symbol of Christmas. Not very cheap, but seeworthing! See the Vatican and the Chritmas mess of the Pope, see the antique Colosseum.
