Favorite Place: Germany

My favorite place is where I dream to visit in the near future. Germany has been a home to me for various years throughout my childhood. My childhood in Germany was filled with endless forests, crazy friends, and amazing food. From the beautiful scenery to the fun festivals I will never forget the wonderful years I have lived in Germany.

First, the food in Germany was amazing. The currywurst and other German dishes were incredible to me. I remember memories of going to the mall in Ansbach, Germany called the Bruken-Center and going to a pretzel stand where they would have the most delicious pretzels. There were many immigrants traveling to Germany bringing their various cultures along as well. Various Turkish people would have stands out serving foods such as Doner Kebabs which were my favorite.

I also loved exploring Germany. Since I was younger at the time, I do not fully remember all the destinations we went to in Germany, but I have recollections of the fun times I have experienced. One of my favorite sites to see in Germany was the Neuschwanstein Castle. I thought the castle was incredible and I wanted to live in that castle as a child. Seeing that place truly felt magical and unforgettable. I also loved playing in the forests in Germany with my friends. Groups of us would play manhunt in the forests and build forts from the branches that fell from the giant trees in Germany.

Germany is a beautiful country and of course my favorite place; however, what made Germany my favorite place was the wonderful memories I made with my friends and family. My best friend is still in Germany waiting for me to visit again. I would love to go back to Germany to visit where we used to live and see the beautiful environment. My memories as a child might have enhanced what I thought Germany was, yet as an adult I can not wait to travel back to see if Germany was truly as beautiful as I remembered it to be.

    Oh, I hope you will get to go back to Germany again soon, Carlo! And the way you were able to enjoy Kebabs thanks to the Turkish vendors there reminds me of how much I enjoyed all the Indian food in England, where there are so many people from India and Pakistan living there. :-)

Week 3 Story: Kooni's Origin

Image
*Note* I have an updated version of my story for my Portfolio on: Carlo's Epics of India "What a freak!" "What an ugly hunchback!" "No one will ever love her." These were the words Kooni heard everyday since her birth. Her own parents did not even want her. Her deformities were too much to handle. Therefore, they dumped her in the Ganges. However, a lovely elderly lady found the baby left in the Ganges and picked her up and raised her.                                                                             This is how Kooni wished she looked growing up during her childhood. Source: Cliparts One day, Kooni was out playing when she heard this huge announcement. The King, Darsatha was arriving to their town. He was bringing his beautiful wife Kaikeyi, and their son Bharatha. Koon...

Week 7 Story: Churning of the Ocean

Image
One day there was a quite an ill tempered sage by the name of Durvaasa. He was traveling one day when he noticed a divine woman who happened to be wearing a garland of flower. He thought the woman was beautiful, yet he thought the garland of flowers were even more beautiful. Thus, he asked the divine beauty for the flowers. She hesitantly gave Sage Durvaasa the flowers, for if she said no to the Sage's request he may have cursed her. Durvaasa left happily with his garland. The god Indra then came down to earth on his elephant named. Airaavat. Durvaasa payed his respect to Indra by giving him the garland. Indra then put the garland on his elephants head. Airaavat then shook the garland off his head and smashed it with his huge feet. This made Durvaasa extremely upset, for he had a bad temper. Durvaasa then cursed Indra because he believed Indra had insulted his gift, so he cursed Indra taking away all the luxuries, strength, and powers of the gods which then caused chaos on Earth....
