The Country Of Thailand
.... has many capitals. The first capital of Thailand was Sukhothai. Sukhothai is located in northern Thailand. But from early on Thailand had many problems. One problem they faced was that they were in constant war with their neighboring country of Burma. This led to a re-location of the capital. The Thai capital changed from Sukhothai to Ayutthaya. Ayutthaya is located more towards the center of the country so; it would be difficult for invaders to attack the capital. Thailand would never have full independence until later though when King Rama 5 liberated the country. His reign in Thailand was the most historic reign in the .....

Lake Erie Islands
.... too. They also own a boat, except it is no ordinary boat. It is a thirty-four foot Scarab III powerboat. It has two rebuilt 454 big block motors with 550 horsepower per motor. That’s 1100 horsepower in a boat, which is very extraordinary. The boat has great sound because it doesn’t have mufflers, and its exhaust makes me think of speed. The boat tops out at about seventy-seven miles per hour, which is blistering fast. We like to go places such as Kelley’s Island, Put-In-Bay, and Damon’s, on the boat.
I ride jet skis every weekend. They are not mine, (we sold our two to purchase our boat) but they are our friends who als .....

Thailand
.... The best goal is called “nirvana” which is total peace and happiness.
The houses in Thailand are different from the houses in the United States. Most of Thailand’s houses are made of wood. These houses are built up on stilts because Thailand is a very rainy and wet country and it has a lot of floods. The houses also have real high roofs to keep cool. If the people don’t live by a river or stream then they usually live on a farm or a village. If someone lives on a farm then they probably grow rice because rice is the biggest crop grown in Thailand.
Thailand is wet and moist most of the time, but summers can be very hot. There a .....

Her father, the king, would not allow them to be together, so he set the princess, who had green eyes, on one mountain top, and the shepherd, who had blue eyes, on the other. They say that their tears of sorrow went all the way down the mountain and collided, creating a lake, which appears to be blue and green. (Perrson)

Russia
.... continues to pursue a program of dramatic economic, political and social transformation. Despite President Yeltsin’s successful re-election campaign, continued economic reform remains subject to the influence of the communist controlled State Duma (the Russian parliament). Even the most optimistic scenarios envision a protracted process as Russia continues the task of fashioning a legal foundation for commerce, rationalizing the regulatory and taxation regimes with which businesses must comply, and completing the task of creating from scratch a highly effective and consistent customs administration. The duration and fin .....

Southeast Asia
.... the Europeans ended their colonial reign over Southeast
Asia, the countries in this realm were left with little or no industry of
their own. When the colonial powers freed Southeast Asia they constructed
borders that were not beneficial, or would have naturally occurred, in this
realm. For instance, it is improbable that without colonial intervention
the 13,000 islands of and many diverse ethnic groups that inhabit them
would have grouped together to become the world’s fourth largest country in
terms of population. In Southeast Asia, despite an abundance of natural
resources, colonialization stripped nations of their raw materi .....

Cancun
.... groups on a fun adventure around the ocean that they will never
forget. If one enjoys adventure and a little danger, they can surf through
the waves. “Most hotel beaches have lifeguards, but as with all ocean
swimming, use common sense--even the calmest-looking waters can have
currents and riptides” (Orbit Travel.) Those who prefer the calm water,
can go deep sea fishing recreational sailing, or sky diving.
The nights in Cancun are just as much fun as the days. There are
so many pubs and clubs that one can choose to go to and have a great time.
With all of the different clubs to choose, everyone can always find one

but the 4,077.59 acres of Fairmount Park extend over 6 square miles.’ The
road we would be taking was, thusly, called Kelly Drive.
The tour then begun at the Philadelphia Art Museum, home of
hundreds of phenomenal artwork displays. Here, I saw the sculpture of Joan

Joan died at 19 years old when she was burned at the stake. Coincidently,
to make this statue, the 15 year old model Valerie Laneau was burned to
death later in life as well. We t .....

treeless plain with permanently frozen subsoil; in its S section are
forests.
Extending from the Shield's W border to the Canadian Rockies are
prairies more than 800mi (1,288km) wide that yield wheat, the dominant crop,
and are centers of livestock raising. W Canada is a land of mountains with
fishing, agriculture, and lumbering as important industries. With the
development of major oil and natural gas deposits since the 1950s in the W,
the now-dominant energy industry has resulted in dramatic economic growth
there, and made Canada a major oil-producing country. The E pr .....

Religious and moral training is a basic goal of Irish education.
Almost all primary education is run by religious groups and is supported
by state funds. The Irish people are deeply religious. Most of the
inhabitants of the republic are Roman Catholic. As a result, laws on
divorce and on censorship of films and literature are more restrictive
than in most other countries. The Constitution of Ireland guarantees
freedom of worship to all religions. There are small Protestant
communities whose members are prominent in th .....
