Komodo island is
located between
Sumbawa and Flores,
along western Nusa Tenggara Timur, and is popular for
the presence of giant Monitor Lizards known as Komodo
Dragons. The island is arid, rugged and
barren and forms a part of the Komodo National Park and Marine Reserve. Aerial views
prove that it is inarguably, among the most beautiful places in Indonesia.
The best time to visit the park is during the dry season, which runs from April to
December.
Besides spotting endangered Komodo dragons, a range of activities can be enjoyed at
the Komodo National Park such as go for kayaking, diving, trekking or the guided island
tours.
Around Komodo Island can be relatively easy, but to get to Komodo, you first need to
travel to Bali and then to Labuan Bajo by either plane or boat, and finally to Komodo
Island by boat. A couple of local airlines fly from Bali to Labuan Bajo on Flores Island.

The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum recognised as 'the jewel of Muslim art in
India'. It is regarded as one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture – an
amalgamation of Persian, Turkish and Indian styles.
The most impressive in the Taj Mahal complex next to the tomb, is the main gate, which
stands majestically in the centre of the southern wall of the forecourt. The gate is flanked
on the north front by double arcade galleries. The garden in front of the galleries is
subdivided into four quarters by two main walkways and each quarters in turn
subdivided by the narrower cross-axial walkways, on the Timurid-Persian scheme of the
wall in garden. The enclosure walls on the east and west have a pavilion at the centre.
The Taj Mahal is located on the right bank of the Yamuna River in a vast Mughal garden
that encompasses nearly 17 hectares, in the Agra District in Uttar Pradesh. It was built
by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife Mumtaz Mahal with
construction starting in 1632 AD and completed in 1648 AD, with the mosque, the
guest house and the main gateway on the south, the outer courtyard and its cloisters
were added subsequently and completed in 1653 AD. The existence of several
historical and Qur’anic inscriptions in Arabic script have facilitated setting the
chronology of Taj Mahal.

Derawan Island is a favorite place for exploring
marine life. There are many rare animals such
as the green turtle, the scarlet turtle, star fruit
turtle and sea cow. The place is also home to
many rare species of marine plants and coral
reef. It is also a good place for scuba diving,
pearl diving, fishing, swimming and other
water sports.
The entire marine conservancy region covers a total area of no less than 1.27 million hectares. It
is the perfect tropical qparadise with warm, isolated islands, soft white sand beaches fringed
with waving palm trees, pristine seas that change color from green to deep blue, and an
amazing underwater life of giant turtles, dolphins, manta rays, dugongs and barracudas,
stingless jellyfish and sometimes, whales. Here, you can find 460 different species of corals,
ranking this area second only to the Raja Ampat Islands in West Papua. The Nature Conservancy
and a team of international experts also found more than 870 species of fish here, ranging from
tiny pygmy seahorses to giant manta rays. So, if you love marine life and water sport, Darawan
island is waiting for you. It is located just away from the mainland of East Kalimantan in the
district of Berau, the Derawan archipelago comprises 31 islands, most well-known among these
are the islands of Derawan, Maratua, Sangalaki and Kakaban. Here is Indonesia’s largest
nesting site of the rare and endangered giant green turtles and hawksbill turtles, where one can
daily watch turtles lay their eggs in the sand or swim to sea with the turtles. The best time to

Tongkonan is the traditional ancestral house, or Rumah adat of the Torajan people, in
South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Tongkonan have a distinguishing boatshaped and oversized
saddleback roof. Like most of Indo's Austronesian-based traditional architecture
tongkonan are built on piles. The construction of tongkonan is laborious work and it is
usually built with the help of all family members or friends. In the original Toraja society,
only nobles had the right to build tongkonan. Commoners live in smaller and less
decorated homes called ba Tongkonan are customarily built facing north-south.
Dominating the entire structure is the saddleback roof with gables that are dramatically
upswept. The internal space is small in comparison with the overwhelming roof structure
that covers it. Interiors are typically cramped and dark with few windows, however, most
of daily life is lived outside the homes, with interiors simply intended for sleeping, storage,
meetings and occasionally protection.
A large tongkonan can take a crew of ten about three months to build and another month
The tops of the piles are notched for the longitudinal and transverse beams that support
the upper structure. The remainder of the sub-structure is assembled in-situ. The
transverse beams are fitted into the notched piles, and then notched to fit the
longitudinal beams. Side panels, which are often decorated, are then formed on these
main horizontal beams. The distinctive curved roof shape is obtained through a series of
vertical hanging spars supporting upwardly angled beams. A vertical free-standing pole
supports that portion of the ridge pole extending beyond the ridge purlin. Bamboo staves
bound with rattan are assembled transversely in layers and tied longitudinally to the
rafters forming the roof. The under roofing is of bamboo culm. Wooden boards laid over
thick hardwood joists form the floors. Nowadays, zinc roofing sheets and nails are
increasingly used. The tongkonan at Ke'te' Kesu' is reputed to be 500 years old; too old to
trace a direct descendant from the founder to maintain the title that goes with the house.
The buildings themselves, however, are constantly maintained and renewed, thus this
age refers to the length of time years for which that particular site has been used as a
meeting place.

The Sydney Opera House is a highlight of any city tour or harbor cruise, and it is well
worth an up-close look, too. It’s best explored as part of a guided tour, either a guided
walking option that hits highlights of the building's history and architecture or an indepth
tour that goes backstage to concert halls, green rooms, and studios usually offlimits to
visitors. Given that this is a functioning performance venue, visitors can also experience
the Opera House by attending a show, whether pairing a theater performance with
dinner as part of an evening package, or dining along the waterfront before a night of
ballet.
Attending a performance at the Opera House is a must for music, dance, and theater
fans. Tickets for tours and events often sell out, so it’s best to book in advance. Public
areas of the complex are wheelchair accessible, and accessible show seating is available
for all performances (seats must be pre-booked, and availability is limited).
Unless visiting on a guided tour, travelers are unable to access the Concert Hall and
Joan Sutherland Theatre foyers or performance spaces. The Opera House complex
contains restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, and outdoor plazas.
ESSAY
Several bridges named London Bridge have spanned the River Thames between the City of
London and Southward, in central London. The current crossing, which opened to traffic in 1973,
is a box girder bridge built from concrete and steel. It replaced a 19th-century stone-arched
bridge, which in turn superseded a 600-year-old stone-built medieval structure. This was
preceded by a succession of timber bridges, the first of which was built by the Roman founders
of London.
The current bridge stands at the western end of the Pool of London and is positioned 30 meters
(98 ft.) upstream from previous alignments. The approaches to the medieval bridge were marked
by the church of St Magnus-theMartyr on the northern bank and by Southward Cathedral on the
southern shore. Until Putney Bridge opened in 1729, London Bridge was the only road-crossing
of the Thames downstream of Kingston upon Thames. London Bridge has been depicted in its
several forms, in art, literature, and songs, including the nursery rhyme "London Bridge Is Falling
Down".
The modern bridge is owned and maintained by Bridge House Estates, an independent charity of
medieval origin overseen by the City of London Corporation. It carries the A3 road, which … by
the Greater London Authority.
The crossing also delineates an area along the southern bank of the River Thames, between
London Bridge and Tower Bridge, that has been designated as a business improvement district.
