The History of Santa Claus

Origins of the Legend

Saint Nicholas was venerated in early Christian legend for defending young children, and giving generous gifts to the poor. Although many of the stories about Saint Nicholas are not authenticity (for example, one story says he delivered a bag of gold to a poor family by throwing it through a window), his legend spread throughout Europe. The saint was called Sankt Nikolaus in Germany and Sanct Herr Nicholaas or Sinter Klaas in Holland, in English Santa Claus.

Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!

Paraguay and Iguaçu Falls

Rafael Belleti went to Paraguay.

There are many stores there, and there are people that sell things on the street too.

The things are very cheap. Example - there was a belt that cost 12 dollars, and Rafael´s father said it was expensive and then the guy was decreasing the price until 1 dollar.

He bought a laser, his brother a knife and his mother bought some sunglasses and his father a belt.

He and his family went to Paraguay on foot, crossing the bridge.

Rafael went to Iguaçu Falls too in Parana, near Paraguay.

Iguaçu is very beautiful, he and his family walked a lot, they went to " Garganta do Diabo" it´s a

bridge where you can see the falls and take pictures, you get soaked there.

Guns N' Roses is an American hard rock band, formed in Los Angeles, California in 1985. The band, led by frontman and co-founder Axl Rose, has gone through numerous line-up changes and controversies since their formation. The band has released five studio albums, two EPs and one live album during their career. After more than a decade in production, the band is finally set to release their long-awaited new album Chinese Democracy on November 23, 2008. Once released, the album will be the first original recording from Guns N' Roses since the 1991 releases of Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II.

Guns N' Roses has sold an estimated 100 million albums worldwide,[1][2][3], including over 42 million in the United States.[4] The band's 1987 major label debut album, entitled Appetite for Destruction, has sold 27 million copies worldwide and reached number one on the United States Billboard 200. In addition, the album charted three Top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including "Sweet Child o' Mine" which reached number one.[5] 1991's Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II debuted on the two highest spots on the Billboard 200 and have sold a combined 14 million copies in the United States alone.

Formation (1985-1987)

The group was formed in early 1985 by Hollywood Rose members Axl Rose(vocals) and Izzy Stradlin(rhythm guitar), and L.A. Guns members Tracii Guns, Ole Beich (bass) and Rob Gardner (drums).[6] The band created its name by combining the names of the two original groups. A short time later, before Guns N' Roses even played any gigs, guitarist Tracii Guns quit to reform L.A. Guns. Slash replaced Guns, and Duff McKagan replaced Ole Beich (who only played one show.) Slash had played for Rose and Stradlin during a short stint in Hollywood Rose. The new line-up came together quickly, but after deciding to go on a "tour" from Sacramento, California to Duff's home town of Seattle, drummer Rob Gardner quit and was replaced by Slash's close friend Steven Adler[7]. The band, which continued to be called Guns N' Roses even though there were now no former members of L.A. Guns in the group, established its first stable line up on this so-called "Hell Tour". According to an interview, [8], Slash insists, "That [trip to Seattle] is really what cemented the band" and established its chemistry.

Cancun and Quito

Zé Lucas visited Cancun when he was five years old...he doesn´t remember so much...just the beaches...............

Zé Miguel visited Quito last year. He goes there every year because his grandfather lives there. There is a volcano in Quito and a castle that is a shpopping mall now. Quito is a cold city and polluted too. People in Quito are very nice but a little stressed.

Germany

Maria Antonia visited Germany many times... She´s gonna talk a little about it...

Germany is a cold country, but very beautiful. You can see the difference between people who live in the North and people who live in the South, in the north people are very cold, but very polite, and people from the South are more outgoing and the landscape is very different too, the North is very plain and in the South there are mountains.

Disney

Leonardo Cortazzo went to Disney in 2006...now he´s going to tell us his impressions...

Disney is the biggest complex of theme parks around the world. This complex is divided in 4 theme parks. Magic kingdom Park, Epcot, Hollywood studios and Animal kingdom.

Magic Kingdom is where the magic predominates and all your dreams come true.

Epcot is the park of all nations where you know a little about the countries. ( Nothing about Brazil)

Hollywood studios is the park of movies it´s dedicated to all the movies that Walt Disney Company produced.

Animal Kingdom is the park dedicated to the animals.

The one that I liked most was Hollywood Studios.
