Landmarks in Austria – Catriona

Welcome to my blog. Today I will be talking about landmarks in Austria. The best spots to relax and have fun. Do you think you like Austria? Well anyway we had better get started.

So think about famous landmarks. Schönbrunn Palace is beautiful so… I think we should talk about it. It was the main summer house for the Habsburg rulers. Franz Joseph, the longest reining ruler was born there and died there too. St Stephen’s Cathedral is one of the top sights in Austria. It is a Roman Catholic Church in Vienna. The gothic form of the Cathedral was set up by Duke Rudolf IV. It also stands on the ruins of two other Churches. It has 256 stairs.

On to recommendations. I am going to be talking about Landskron Castle. It was purchased by the Habsburg Duke Albert II of Austria.

The Grüner See (Green Lake) is beautiful. It is surrounded by forests and mountains. The Schiederweiher is an artificial lake in Hinterstoder. It may be artificial but it’s very pretty!

Games with Luke (Part 2)

Card games!

Hello again, how’re you? Today, I’ve decided to talk about card games! Surely, you’ve played them before. Like Uno, Yu gi oh, Patience, or if you like gambling, I bet you’ve played Poker. There’s also mobile ones like Marvel Snap, Clash Royale, Slay the Spire and Hearthstone. I’ve played loads of card games before and there all amazing. I wonder what the first card game was like. It was probably rubbish.

The first card game ever made was invented on 17th of July 1294 when the Ming Department of Punishment caught 2 gamblers. Yan Sengzhu and Zheng Pig Dog playing with paper cards. Wood blocks impounded together with 9 actual cards. Uno is also 52 years old whilst still being new ones realest which is very surprising yet impressive. Do you like card games?

Do you want to know why card games are so amazing? Social interaction! Often, card games bring us together but also rivalries. Upstairs, downstairs, wherever although I personally like a nice quiet room. Fortunately, I have people to play with as well as my brother who is ecstatic and amusing. Before you ask, he’s one of the best bros ever but I have another who is very silly.

I’m going now. I hope you’ve enjoyed. Cheerio my friend. Cheerio!

Games with Luke

Hi! Today, we’ll be talking about video games and what make them amazing! There’s a ton of different genres like mobile, shooter, racing and single player games. Almost unbelievably, there’s so many different types however not all of them are great. I love games so much but you should take breaks from them time to time.

Are they fun?

Yes! Video games can be so hilarious while being so annoying. Often, I play them loads whist having a blast. There’s a game about everything now a days. Marvel games? Gotcha. Wherever they are, there’ll be a game for you! I’ve played more games than I can count although that’s saying a lot! Fortunately, they make me feel energetic but also great. What games do you like? One of my favourite game is called PVZ Heroes (PVZ stands for plants vs zombies). It’s a mobile card game (you can get it on your phone) that’s super exciting where you play as a plant or zombie hero and then play with a deck you’ve made against other peoples!

Should you play them?

Games have actually been proven to boost your mental health. There one of mankind’s greatest creations never the less people still don’t play them! I’ve always enjoyed playing games and there so amazing to play. There getting more real every day that it’s kind of concerning. I honestly hope games don’t become to real or that would be worrying.

This is the end of my blog. I hope you’ve enjoyed it. I’ll make sure to write more. Cherioooooooooo!

Horses with Freya (Part 2)

Racing horses

 

Intro

Hello readers, today I am going to speak about gorgeous racing horses. Do you like racing horses? I love all horses they are so adorable! The most expensive racing horse is the Thoroughbred they cost £100,000-£300,000 each! The cheapest racing horse is the standard they cost £10,000-£60,000! Horse racing is Britain’s second favourite sport after football. Racing contributes billions to the UK economy.

facts

Racing is ‘the sport of kings’. Horseracing is better live than on TV. Racing was once outlawed. The original race horse were bred for war. Horses are supreme athletes. Jockeys are a rare breed. Flat racing yields the biggest prizes.

Other

Often, they eat diets high in fat, protein fiber and starch. To get on to a race you have to go online at the New Racing Administration System or through Weathersby. The average race horse weighs 1,000 pounds. Cold blooded breeds, which are already mature at 3 or 4 years of age, generally live until about 18 years of age.

France – Debbie

France

Hello guys and welcome to Europe bye Debbie. This blog is going to be about France and it’s beautiful features, and here are some facts.

  • France is known as “L’Hexagone”
  • The French consume around 25,000 tons of snails each year
  • OVER 16,000 people were officially killed by the guillotine
  • The French consume around 40 liters of wine per person per year

Wow! Amazing am I right? Anyway, France has so much amazing, delicious food, but my personal favourite is the crepes because you can add so many delicious foods and spreads and much more on them (Strawberries and Nutella etc.)

I love France because of it’s beautiful features like the setting and the buildings like the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower.

I also heard the the Moana Lisa’s eyes follow you across the room!

European flags with Elana! Part 2

Flags with the country on them: intro

Hi! Today we’ll be looking at flags with their countries shape on it. I think flags are really interesting and enjoyable to learn or memorise! So having shapes on the flag can to remember them. First we’ll look at Cyprus, a tiny, little island next to Greece.

Cyprus

The Cypriot flag consists of the shape of Cyprus (in orange) and two olive branches crossed below it (in green.)

The crossed branches signify unity between the islands 2 communities. The white background also signifies peace.

Kosovo

Kosovo has a blue flag with 6 stars above the shape of Kosovo . it was designed by Muhamer Ibranhimi.

It was adopted in 2008. The flag of Kosovo symbolises the 6 ethnic groups of Kosovo; Albanians, Serbs, Bosnians, Turks, Romani and Gorani.

Thanks for reading my blog! Hope I’ll see you next time! Have an amazing day!

European flags with Elana! Part 1

Similar flags; introduction

I love all the flags I Europe! But, today I’ll be talking about the most confusing ones. There are lots of flags that are nearly the same! For e.g. Ireland and Ivory Coast, Romania and Andorra, the list goes on. It’s incredible how many countries have similar flags, but first we’ll be looking at Luxembourg and the Netherlands. I will look at the similarities and the differences.

The Netherlands and Luxembourg

The Netherlands and Luxembourg have very similar flags. They look like this.

The only difference is that Luxembourg has a slightly lighter blue and red. The difference is so minute that a lot of people don’t notice it! That’s hilarious, next we will look at Latvia and Austria.

Latvia and Austria

Latvia and Austria also have very similar flags. Its awesome how many flags are the same! Latvia is slightly darker than Austria’s flag. But the white gap is slightly larger I the Austrian flag. That is really all I can say about those two!

Thank you for reading my blog, hope you enjoyed it! See you next time!

Supra

The supra mk2 is one of my favorite Asian cars one of my other is all the old Mitsubishi. The supra can go 155 mph and 0-60 is 8.4 secs. It was made in 1981 and is 38 years old. It is a Chinese company but they sell all over the world even America. The brakes are out standing and they still compete with new cars. It is rubbish of road and is amazing on the road.

Hilux

The Hilux is a thumping great pick up which is one of the most stunning of road cars mind you the range rover vogue se is the best of road car in the world rite now. Speed wises it is not the most impressive it can go 105 mph. Mile to the gallon on a diesel is a round 30 miles. The Price of a new one is 41,000 for the heist model and the lowest model is 32,000. They can tow 3.5 ton that is 3, 500 kg. That is one of the most awesome towing capacities!
