Sydney, Australia

This place looks beautiful. The Sydney Opera House is a performing arts center in Sydney, Australia. 

It doesn't really have a long history because it opened in 1973, designed by many different Architects like the Danish architect, Jørn Utzon. It has a few levels and is very large inside.

In 6th grade, my dream job was becoming an architect, because after I realized how unique and well built my house was, I wanted to create something even bigger and better. This also goes along the lines with the fact that I love crafts and using my hands to build and work. 

I've probably scene pictures and talked about the Sydney Opera House probably only about 3 or 4 times in my life, but the advanced architecture truly intrigued me. Someday, I will go to Sydney (which I think is one of the most peaceful countries in the world) and I'm going to buy a ticket to a show for the Sydney Opera House.

Agra, India

There was no doubt that I've heard of such a thing called the Taj Mahal. I was little and didn't care much of anything that was beyond Northbrook.

However, in 2008, that all changed. I was probably eleven when I saw Slumdog Millionaire with my brother and his friends. This movie is about a teen who grew up in the Slums and becomes a contestant on the Indian version of "who wants to become a millionaire?" However, he's arrested in suspicion of cheating because he was answering all of the questions right. Then, as he's being interrogated, events throughout his life appear, explaining why he got all the answers correct.

Here's the Trailer :D (beware.. it's rated R)
Slumdog Millionaire

There is one scene where Jamal, the male protagonist, approaches the Taj Mahal. Even thought he went with his older brother with the intentions of stealing because they were poor, as he was exploring this white marble mausoleum, I was, too.

It was built by Mughal emperor of Shah Jahan, honoring his wife Mumtaz Mahal, who had died in child birth of their 14th child.

I would really like to visit the Taj Mahal and observe the beauty in real life. Even though its a mausoleum, it has also become a great tourist attraction.
