CARCASSONNE



Last year I went to France and I visited the wonderful French commune in the South of the country,Carcassonne . It is famous because there is a wall around it and it is like a city of the Medieval times and it is also a World Heritage site.
Inside of the wall you can discover a very interesting (and) historic city, you can find museums, shops, cafés, a big castle...
While you are walking down the streets you feel like you are walking in another era, you feel like you have travelled back in time and now you are in the Medieval Middle Ages. The ambience atmosphere is really amazing.
I would recommend you to visit this place,especially if you are an adventurous person, because in this site place you will not get bored because you have a lot of exciting things to do.

Comparing pictures: Wembley Stadium





Both pictures show the Wembley Stadium (London), but the first picture shows the old one and the second picture shows the new stadium.
They are both located in the same place, but the first stadium was built in 1923 and the second one in 2007. Another thing that they've got in common is that they're greyish. The shape of the old stadium is oval but the new one is round. Another difference between them is that the building of the second picture is more modern that the building in the first photo. The place in picture 1 had a capacity of 100,000 and the place in picture 2 has a capacity of 90,000.

THE BURJ KHALIFA



The first photo shows a scale model of the tallest building of the world the Burj Khalifa and the second photo shows us the real Burj Khalifa, which is in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
The two phtos are alike because both expose the same building, the first in a scale model and the second in real life.
The main difference between them is the height, while the first one is only a few centimeters long and the second one rises 828 meters.
Another difference is that the first one is made of cardboard and plastic because it is only a mini-representation of the second one, and this one is made with a lot of construction materials like metals, plastics, concrete, brickworks...
People can only live in the building of the second photo, while people can only watch the building of the first one.
I would like to visit the real building and watch the scale model, it would be a nice experience.
Nowadays the Burj Khalifa is the tallest building of the world but soon the Kigndom Tower, in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia will overcome the Burj Khalifa with his 1007 meters long.
It is happening what occured had ocurred with the curious case of the towers of San Gimignano in Italy, people want to have the tallest building and they compete to have it.
