Ap Bio Lab 8 Question 6 Answers

Capital

Brazil
After a busy week over the ocean in Fortaleza, we came to the capital. Taxówka took us from the airport to the Hotel Brasilia Alvorada lying on the lake away from the center.


Hotel is situated on a promontory, near the palace of the president. The resort was built in 2001. Before entering into the closed gate of the hotel with security. No one enters the precincts of the great (7000 m2) of the hotel complex without prior zarezerwanego place. We were here for over a week. We lived in the double apartmencie. Unfortunately, the internet or not always work as promised. Shuttle departing the hotel regularly on the hour you could get to various places in the city. The center was going to be more than 10 minutes. The weather was beautiful, the air clean and pleasant. We spent most of the time over a huge pool located just off the lake. Wypoczywałyśmy, sunbathing and lounging on the sun loungers. We did the daily double belt gymnastyki water. Eating in restaurants was good. Ate often buffet from which you could choose. I do not hide that everything had its price.





receptionist guided us proudly at the center. The complex consists of two buildings wielkch which is both a hotel and private apartments. Huge underground garage. Then, pool, spa, fitness center, tennis courts, restaurants, bars, theater, and I do not know what. In addition, large conference rooms in the basement where it hosts international conferences and government. Therefore many on the grounds of the police and people from protection. I had a chance to go to the theater where the concert of a famous band, who played and sang to the rhythm of samba and bosanowy. During the concert, people came from their seats and dancing in the sides of the aisle.
hotel is very modern and comfortable. Although I can not say I was delighted with the giant. However, he was guaranteed spokuj and security. Without any fear we could get around the resort.
Brasilia is the capital city since 1960. It is a city that grew without roots, immediately took the form given by the designers. In 1955, President Juscelino Kubitschek decided that I'm putting new capital in the middle of the country. The idea appeared 100 years earlier. In 1883, St. John Bosco had a prophetic dream. He saw a land of milk and honey, and in it its missionaries to proclaim the Gospel of Christ. When the city decided to build Brasilia, it turned out that it is formed by a dream in a place of Don Bosco. Brazil had to be beautiful and modern. Contest and the winner Lucio Costa. His project of the city seen from above resembles the shape of an airplane.




was supposed to be perfect and orderly city. On the main axis - "fuselage" - situated office buildings and government, which designed the Oscar Niemeyer. Some apartment situated on the "wings". "Airplane" is surrounded by an artificial lake.
Brasilia was designed half a million people, now has 2 million inhabitants. These "extra-curricular 'nests and a half million in emerging around the satellite towns. Unfortunately, Brazil can not be explored on foot. There just does not have sidewalks for pedestrians! City zbudwano for motorized society, which proved to be a utopia. On many streets, sidewalks or not to go through the lanes which makes daily life and smooth around the city. This makes a very strange feeling as if in a cage. It does not give the choice movement. The city is vast and hundereds is watching them in a car. Shopping going to the big shopping complexes called molla. I did not see streets with shops.

toured several beautiful churches in the capital. Sanctuary of Dom Bosco, an Italian priest who in 1934 was canonized, and then elected patron of Brasilia.

beautiful temple with a huge blue stained-glass windows that give a feeling inside watched the sky with stars rozświetlonymi. The great chandelier is made of 7.5 thousand. pieces of glass were imported from the Venetian island of Murano.
put there by me filmed video showing these beautiful stained glass windows. To show them all, and therefore turned the camera watching them across.


then toured the cathedral, which was built in krztałcie crown in 1970. Crude interior into the ground revive the great temple, hanging aluminum angels and a copy of the famous "Pieta" by Michelangelo.

also toured the Temple of the pyramid-like Goodwill załżoną by Alziro Zarur (1914 - 1979), which this year celebrates 19 years of existence. Temple I was very touched.





Dziający with her Legion of Good Will is an international organization that works to alleviate human suffering and peace to the world. Although human pain can unfurl a lot further than material poverty. There is no greater suffering than the absence of love. Therefore, the true path to peace is love, says the information. Legion of Good Will promotes and recommends prayer to solve problems concerning politics, philosophy, science, religion, etc.. For example, this universal, wonderful to us through Jesus left for an prayer, Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name .................



On top of this building is located 25 kg crystal in which the architect reveal the face of Christ. In the basement of the Temple is the art gallery with works by famous Brazilian artists. This temple is visited by nearly miljon pilgrims each year. It's called the seventh wonder of Brazil. In the basement there is a crystal mandala, inter alia, the Egyptian underworld, hanging a huge angel in the pregnancy (or symbolizes the birth of the new world?) beautiful tapestry and marble

plate, which perpetuates the ideal of good will with the following words.

UNIVERSAL Religion of Love.
"Religion of the Third Millennium, Religion of God, Christ and the Holy Spirit is more than any religion. It is all knowing, all philosophy, all politics and all apricots, any kind of progress of mankind, conjugated with the progress of all worlds, all beings of the universe - the apotheosis of Universal Love in honor of the Creator, the Almighty, Omniscient and Omnipresent, our God, our Father! "


the way to the airport we drove by the complex of the three arches of the original bridge over the arm of an artificial lake Paranoá, which surrounds the city. It is surrounded by elegant residences giant tank is ideal for water sports, there are beaches, sailing clubs and windsurfing.


greatest concentration of government buildings government ministries can be seen on the Esplanade, along which is 17 identical skyscrapers, differing only in plaques at the entrances, obwieszczającymi which ministries are located in them. Legislative power is represented by the National Congress building, the Palace of the President of the executive, and judiciary - the Supreme Court faced an allegory of justice, a woman with bandage on the eyes. A few times I was at the handicraft market in television believe if placed on a hill. From here you can see the entire "kadub airplane" and you can admire the city skyline.


Many people visit this place. I was interested in textiles, handmade necklaces made from seeds of fruits, and goods made of crystals and other precious stones. At the junction of the hull with wings at the intersecting highways is placed a very large bus station. This is an important transport hub in central Brazil. There is no train. Every time staying in the city came back to the hotel with a feeling of relief.

June 1 Jenny escorted to the airport and said goodbye before leaving home. Sam went back to the evening taxówką Abadie. I was happy that finally I'm back in pousadzie and that will soon go to Casy. Do not admit to her that I missed much.
