MY JOURNEY ROUND THE WORLD
My journey round the world started in Egypt. First we stayed in a beach hotel for a few days. Then we travelled by bus to Luxor and we saw many temples and tombs. After that we travelled to the capital town Cairo by sleeper. We visited there Giza pyramids and sphinx, a museum and a perfume store.
Next up we visited London. It has many different things to see. We went to Natural History Museum. We saw many interesting animals and plants there. I also remember the Madame Tussauds Museum. I still have some pictures of me and celebrities. The best thing in London was London Eye. The view was beautiful.
Our journey continued on Cuba, an island in Central America. We stayed in a wonderful hotel. We saw the plantations of sugar cane and tobacco. The most incredible were daily tropic showers. Almost every day was raining, but there was enough hot for swimming in big waves of blue Caribbean sea.
Next stop was Istanbul. There were so many mosques and the biggest one is the Blue Mosque. But I didn’t like it because the smell was awful. I couldn’t breathe. There was an interesting market called Grand Bazar. We spent some time in a Turkish sauna.
Next stop was an island Sicilia. There were many ancient temples. The most famous thing on Sicilia is a volcano called Etna. It is still active and erupts from time to time. We went to one of the craters. It was hot and steamy there.
At last we went to Sri Lanka. We saw so many buddhist temples. The nature on Sri Lanka is very diverse – from rainforest to reach tea plantages and dream sandy beaches. Riding an elephant was one of the craziest things I have ever done. The best was a beach hotel and swimming in big waves.

A story by Gregor
SURVIVAL ON AN ISLAND
An English pilot Edward Teach was flying a plane above the Atlantic ocean. He was travelling to Hawaii with his friend Tom Robinson. It was a very sunny and warm day, and it was summer. They were very happy.Suddenly, they heard a very loud bang. When they looked out the window they saw that the aircraft engine exploded. Plane was falling to the sea and they had to act quickly. They pinned the parachute and jumped out of airplanes into the sea. When they landed in the sea, they saw a small island, and they swam on it. Edward and Tom lived on that small island for 2 months. They built a shelter of branches and leaves and caught the fish for food. They also ate coconuts by coconut trees. But suddenly on the 64th day of their stay on the island there was a big storm. Tom and Edward found on the shore the aircraft wreckage in the morning after. The storm washed residues of the plane! They looked for anything useful, and found a radio! It was a bit bruised but it worked! They called for help and, on the 65th day they saw a plane! They were finally rescued and ready to return back to civilization.

Childhood memories
In corvensation with Anica Rumiha
WERE YOU BORN IN LJUBLJANA?
Yes, I was born in 1954, on a very big and poor farm, that was not far
from my school.
WHAT WAS LIFE IN LJUBLJANA IN THOSE DAYS?
I think that life wasn't that easy as life today. Most families were poor .
In the morning we went to school. We didn't have soo many aids for school.
We only had textbooks. We wrote with little stones on plate. In school was very strict education.
After school we went back home and then we had to work on a farm. Children helped on fields.
So as you see we didn't have any free time.
If I had free time I would hang out with my friends. We played with little stones (that game was called PILKANJE). Boys played games with ball. And sometimes we played chess.
DID YOU HAVE CANDIES IN THOSE DAYS?
Yes, we had, bud not so many as you have now.
I remember that my mother gave me a chocolate and I was so happy.
WAS LIFE ON A FARM HARD?
Yes , it was, because sometimes we worked all day.
We didn't have any machines to work in the fields.
WHATS YOUR MOST VIVID CHILDHOOD MEMORY?
I remember that children studied in the evening by candles, because in those days we didn't have electricity.
And I almost forgot to tell that once a year we killed a pig and we made sausages. All my relatives came and afterthat we celebrated.
DO YOU THINK CHILDREN WERE HAPPIER WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG, AND WHY?
Yes, because we were happy with what we had. Children today are too spoiled and they are not thankful to their parents enough.

Childhood memories
IN CONVERSATION WITH MY GRANDMOTHER
Where you born in Slovenia and when?
I was born in 1954 in Kranj.
Where was your school?
My school was in town. It was small and the teachers were much more stricter to us. We were punished if we didin't work hard.
What high school did you finish?
I finished tekstille high school. It was a very nice school, but I had to work very hard to finish high school. Those times were hard in every area.
What do you miss from those times?
I miss the talking. People don't talk much. When you go out some of them don't even say hello to you. Some are very rude. I miss children in the gardens, playing with each other and not playing video games like they do. I miss people from those times.
Do you think that your times were better than times now?
Yes of course they were. We didn't have computers,TVs, we didn't have any technology. We were happy for what we had, we were happy for every single thing we got. We wern't selfish. And we knew how to have fun. We were outside every single day and we were happy. Now children don't know how to be like us so most of the children stay in their rooms and play video games all day long. They don't have true friends, they only have hundreds of fake friends on computers.It's sad how it is.
What are your hopes for the future?
I hope there wont be so many computers, TVs and other things that make people diffrent. I'm hoping for nicer future and that my granddoughters and grandsons will have beautiful lives.
