Buenos Aires used to be very French in its architecture, but nowadays there are many more modern tall buildings.
The city has grown so quickly that many people moved outside searching for some piece and quiet.
Some customs have been lost too, such as kids playing football on the street after school or neighbours meeting for a chat....]]> 2017-05-02 17:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169493643 https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618256 Abuja is the capital of my country, Nigeria. It was named the fastest growing city in the continent of Africa due to its ever expanding nature. Abuja has witnessed a surge in its rise in population over the past 35 years as people keep immigrating. The size of the buildings keep changing as more and more projects keep evolving. It has a much busier town centre, a lot louder and infused with more traffic than before. Abuja is also known for its rich culture and tourism..]]> 2017-05-03 08:43:38 UTC https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618256 https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618297 I was born in Riyadh in 1998. By then it was already the capital of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Going back before that, it was established by Dahham bin Dawwas. In 1910, the population was only 14,000 but has reached 1,400,000 in the late 1980s. The Modern history of Saudi Arabia begins with the unification of Saudi Arabia in a single kingdom in 1932. In that year, the city became the capital. In 1951, Railway began operating to the eastern coast. A lot of changes has been happening in Riyadh.]]> 2017-05-03 08:43:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618297 https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618369 I am from Lebanon and the capital city is Beirut . My city didn't quiet change over the years , in fact it has not improved at all . Since the end of the war in 1990, the people of Beirut have been rebuilding the city and by the start of 2006 the city had somewhat regained its tourists .Moreover ,the city became overcrowded in a way that one won't be able to find a house to stay in . ]]> 2017-05-03 08:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618369 https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618391 I am from Hong Kong, a small city of China. It used to be a colony of England. When I was born, it is already a world wide financial centre, where many banks and comatose came to set up their branches. But when I compare the present situation of Hong Kong to the past, there is a huge difference. Economically, our tourism now rely more on the mainland tourists, due to the Individual Visit Scheme launched by the China government. As a result, tons of mainlanders travel to Hong Kong everyday which affects the whole society's harmony. For example, the city is now overwhelmed by mainlanders, many jewellery shops are opened to deal with the huge demand from the mainland tourists. Also, in New territories, where I live, are full of pharmacy. Not because we need, is because tourists always come to buy daily stuff, so lots of profits can be made. As a result, many tra ]]> 2017-05-03 08:44:37 UTC https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618391 daniil_okulov https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618402 I am from Russia and born in a city called Perm'. During World War 2 it was a strategically advanced place, which is why it was locked down from most of the visitors. Even until now you can find abandoned military positions outside the city. The city has been changing and getting a new "modern" look, but is still in its early stages. ]]> 2017-05-03 08:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618402 https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618494 I have lived 17 years in Amman, the capital city of Jordan. Amman used to be very quite and all the stores close early, but recently people started to go out more often, stores started to open till late night and there are a lot of new malls and shops. Amman has grown economically in the recent years, a lot of people started doing business and investment in Amman. Many modern tall buildings are under construction]]> 2017-05-03 08:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618494 isaac_law369 https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618764 I am from Hong Kong, a small city used to own by British before 1997. The British won a war and the old chinese government gave them under the policy of Treaty of Peace, Friendship and Commerce between Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and the Emperor of China because it is a harbour in the middle of the map which allows their ships to get some food and materials for the next trip. It used to be a place that rely on the fishing industry, but after the revolution in Mainland China, a great amount of money and people came to Hong Kong. Hong Kong is now mostly rely on the tourist and bank business around the world. Although it is a small city, it was the most developed and free market among China. After  it was returned to China people got less freedom on the lives and started the Umbrella Revolution because the Communist party are controlling Hong Kong too much and over the policy of 'One Country, Two Systems'. This shows that the thought of people are changing quite greatly from peaceful to resist the government.]]> 2017-05-03 08:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169618764 https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169620494 I was born in Kassala in 1997 but was raised in Khartoum which is Sudan's Capital. The city is certainly growing and expanding drastically. There are many activities and cultural diversity, though tradition strongly goes hand to hand with all the new changes, you especially see that in weddings.]]> 2017-05-03 08:57:51 UTC https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169620494 https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169671706 I come from Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. As Tunisia is an ex-French colony, the city still has a lot of French-style buildings, but it has also new modern buildings and even new neighborhoods built to comply with the new architectures. Economically, it is many new banks are investing in the city over the years. In tourism sector, the city has one of UNESCO word heritage sights which the Carthage roman ruins on which investors are building new attractions close to that area to attract tourism.

Since Ming dynasty, Tianjin was used as the personal port of the emperor and now it becomes the biggest and most inportant habou r in China. Many world top companies like Samsung and Air bus build their factory in China because they can transport their productions to no matter other cities in China or countries in Asia. I remembered in my childhood, the transportation was not very convenient but in the recent 15 years,  5 subway lines have been used and 3 other lines are building now. I lived in Tianjin for 21 years and I saw how the city changed from only a port city to a international economy and transportation center.]]> 2017-05-03 13:36:38 UTC https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169671821 https://padlet.com/chevia19/ri12e9y25bt9/wish/169672617 I am from doha which is the capital of qatar.

As my country is on the form of democracy, there has been numerous significant changes especially in infrastructures, economy and education. Nowadays, many international companies make investments in Yangon because it is easily accessible to all modes of transports. In addition, the new government spend lots of money to upgrade the education system by proving better facilities. That's why it is one of the cities to live in my country, Myanmar.
