LONDON, WE MISS YOU!

After more than three months, we are always talking about London, the trip, the classes, the days... All was so perfect, that we can't forget it. Also, we can't forget our Italian classmates and, obviously, our families. We want to come back, and we know someday we'll do it.

But, unfortunately, we have to wait. Anyone that say anything negative of London, we eat him, because we for London KI-ILL! hahaha.

LONDON, WAIT FOR US.

FOR OUR TEACHERS

Since we're here, no one has written here, so I'm going to do it.

I want to write this post to give the thank you at our teachers. They have been a big support for us in this trip, and they have been like our mothers for two weeks. I want give thank you for support us these days we've been unbearable, thank you for wake up us in these days we've got depressive, thank you for look after us, for give us your patience, for give us your support, for give us all in this trip.

In name of all my partners, thank you for doing these experience has been the best in our lives, for playing cards although you didn't understand the game, for making us laugh.

Thanks for all.

Eva, it's your turn

Eva, what did you think, that you would be the only person to write enigmas? If you thought this, you were so mistaken...!

Now, it's your turn. You have to answer my enigma.

My enigma is:

"It is a pseudohistorical account, it chronicles the lives of the kings of the Britons in a chronological narrative spanning a time of two thousand years. It has little value as history but is a valuable piece of medieval literature. It counts a beautiful history"

I want:

• The name of this book (Real name and English name)
• The person who wrote this book
• The year of this book
• And what tells this book

I wait very impatient for your answer...

K&S Associated come back!!

Once again Eva, we've found the answer of your enigma. We have waited 4 days and noone has answered, so they have to shut up! jajaja
We start with the Pelicans. We can see them in St Jame's Park. They’ve been there for a long time. Since the 1660s to be exact.
The first pelicans were presented to Charles II by the Russian ambassador. At the time, diarist John Evelyn was not impressed - he described them at the time as “between a stork and a swan”, which isn’t particularly accurate, and fails to describe their most unusual and noticeable attribute - the huge pouches under their beaks.
I haven’t been able to find out the names of all of the pelicans.
The pelicans may be relatively recent arrivals in the history of London - but they have become as much a part of the city as the ravens of the Tower. So perhaps it’s not surprising that there’s now a myth that if the pelicans ever leave St James’s Park, it will be the end of civilisation as we know it

The second part of your enigma is: London celebrates the 250th birthday of the Kew Gardens. Kew Gardens are extensive gardens and botanical glasshouses between Richmond and Kew in southwest London, England. It is an internationally important botanical research and education institution. There, we can see a lot of trees from the 5 continents in the Earth. (We can see the Alpine house, the Chokushi-Mon, the Compost heap, the Kew Palace, the Minka house, theMarianne North Gallery, museums, the Pagoda and more beautiful things). All spectacular, obviously. By: K&S Associated

6th enigma, second part (Y)

A major stimulus to improving the accuracy and reliability of clocks was the importance of precise time-keeping for navigation. The position of a ship at sea could be determined with reasonable accuracy if a navigator could refer to a clock that lost or gained less than about 10 seconds per day. This clock could not contain a pendulum, which would be virtually useless on a rocking ship. Many European governments offered a large prize for anyone that could determine longitude accurately. The reward was eventually claimed in 1761 by John Harrison, who dedicated his life to improving the accuracy of his clocks.His first clock (1713) is at the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers Collection in Guildhall (London).

Answer number 6 :)

I'm not the only person that knows the answer,Silvia knows it. For that reason we've worked together. The first part of your enigma is: We can change our timetable, in Prime Meridian( is the meridian at which longitude is defined to be 0°), it's obvious. The second part is Sandford Fleming. He linked the anti-meridian of Greenwich (now 180°). He suggested that standard time zones could be used locally, but they were subordinate to his single world time. For this reason, the navigator was easier. Finally, the last answer is the Cutty Sark. Not a long time back, clippers were known by the Cutty Sark, built at 1870, that was a business ship until 1922. Until 2007, the Cutty Sark was a floating museum, but on 20th May of 2007 it was burnt. Today, the police continues without finding the answer of this fire.

23rd April, Saint George

Golden Legend tells the story of St. George.The relationship with the flag of England is that St. George is the patron of England (The Flag of England is the St George's Cross. The red cross appeared as an emblem of England during the Middle Ages and the Crusades and is one of the earliest known emblems representing England. It achieved status as the national flag of England during the sixteenth century.)Saint George became the patron saint of England in the thirteenth century, and the legend of Saint George slaying a dragon dates from the twelfth century. Paolo Uccello was an Italian painter who was notable for his pioneering work on visual perspective in art. . He painted Saint George and the Dragon, about 1470.
Oil on canvas;5.6 cm × 74.2 cm (21.9 in × 29.2 in)
(The picture refers to the story of St George from The Golden Legend, a popular collection of Saints’ lives written in the 13th century. It shows 2 episodes of the story. The first episode where the saint with his lance defeats a plague-bearing dragon that had been terrorizing a city. In the sky a storm is gathering. The eye of the storm lines up with Saint George’s lance, suggesting that divine intervention has helped him to victory.In the second episode on the left, the rescued princess brings the dragon to heal, using her blue belt as a leash. )

The 2nd part of the answer

Eva, I think I've found the second part of the enigma. I hope will be this.The musical more or less based on "Romeo&Juliet" is West Side Story(Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins)
Based upon
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare

4th enigma

Thanks, thanks... Yes, I know, I'm the best, jajajaja. Next week is the anniversary of two very important writers. The Spanish writer is Miguel de Cervantes(22nd April of 1616, but he was buried in 23rd April. For this reason, people think that is the date of his death). The English writer is William Shakespeare( 23rd April of 1564/24th April of 1564/3rd May of 1564). The most popular work of William Shakespeare is Romeo&Juliet. MSTISLAV ROSTROPOVICH is the director of the musical ballet"Romeo&Juliet"(script compiled by Sergei Radiov, Leonid Lavrovsky, Andrey Piotrovsky and Sergei Prokofiev, in version of Vladimir Vasiliev, based on the tragedy of William Shakespeare)

3rd enigma: "My fair Lady"!

One more time, I've found the answer of your enigma. The musical is "My fair Lady"(George Cukor&Gene Allen). You've said you wanna know where Eliza sold flowers. Well, Eliza sold flowers in The Covent Garden of London. Here you are the picture. This history is based in the mythology, when Pygmalion fell in love with Galatea, a beautiful statue.

The answer of your 2nd enigma!

Eva, I've found the answer of your 2nd enigma.
The musical is Sweeney Todd(composed by Stephen Sondheim). As I didn't know what city did you want, I tell you two cities: London and Barcelona.
In London we can find it on 117 Station Rd,Hampton, Middlesex, TW12 2AL, United Kingdom. It's not exactly in London, but it's near.
In Barcelona we can find it in Teatre Apolo,Paral·lel, 59,Sants-Montjuïc(Barcelona).

The answer of the enigma!

Eva, I've found the answer of your enigma! The painting is The Rokeby Venus (also known as The Toilet of Venus, Venus at her Mirror, Venus and Cupid, or La Venus del espejo). It was painted by Diego Velázquez on 1647–1651. This painting was painted on "Oil on canvas" and measures 122 cm × 177 cm. We can see this picture in National Gallery.
