New Zealand
The first building I went to was the New Zealand parliament building. I wanted to go to the parliament building because of its unique architecture giving it the name of The Beehive. The Beehive contains the Prime Ministers office and the cabinet where many important meetings have taken place. Next I wanted to go to Mount Eden because of its beautiful landscape. Mount Eden is an ancient scoria cone which has been inactive and grass has grown over causing its peculiar shape. The scoria cone is a symbolic landmark and the highest natural point in the Auckland region. The last place I wanted to visit in New Zealand is the Christchurch Cathedral because of its structure. In 1539, King Henry VIII converted the priory to a cathedral with a dean and chapter and worked to ensure Christ Church adhered to his new church structure. From, Chapman

India
The first place I wanted to visit was the Taj Mahal because of it historical beauty and architecture. The Taj Mahal was target to many attacks during Indian wars but the bombers were thrown off by scaffolding put around the great white building. I wanted to visit the city of Shimla because of its natural beauty. Shimla is a city located in the mountains of northern India. Tribes such as the Koilis, Halis, Dagis, Dhaugris, Dasa, Khasas, Kinnars and Kirats inhabited the region from pre-historic era. The last place I wanted to visit in India was Fort Gingee. Fort Gingee is very historically interesting because it has had many rulers from monks to tribal chieftains.

Japan

Japan
The first place I wanted to go to in Japan was Goryokaku Fort because it is shaped like a star which I found very interesting. Goryokaku is famous as the site of the last battle of the Boshin War. The fighting lasted for a week (June 2027, 1869). The next place in Japan I wanted to visit was Mount Fuji because of its beauty. Mount Fuji is a volcanic cone and a frequent subject of Japanese art especially after 1600, when Edo became the capital and people saw the mountain while traveling on the Tokaidoroad. The last place I wanted to visit was the Himeji Castle because of its intriguing architecture. Himeji Castle's construction dates to 1333, when a fort was constructed on Himeyama hill by Akamatsu Norimura, the ruler of the ancient Harima Province. From, Chapman

Italy

Italy
The first place in Italy I wanted to go to was The Colosseum because of its historical significance. Construction of the Colosseum began under the rule of the Emperor Vespasian in around 7072 AD, funded by the spoils taken from the Jewish Temple after the Siege of Jerusalem. The next place I wanted to visit was The Leaning Tower of Pisa because of its very strange shape. The towers tilt was caused by an inadequate foundation on ground too soft on one side to properly support the structure's weight. The last place I wanted to visit in Italy was Naples because of its historical significance in Italy. The Naples area has been occupied since the Neolithic period. The earliest Greek settlements were established in the Naples region in the second millennium BC. From, Chapman
