Here Are Some Of My Facts That I Tweeted About Countries All Over The World (50 Pics)

Wow, go Mongolia

well yeah, when you have experience you know how to do things better, look at South Korea and Taiwan, they had SARS years ago, so they knew how to deal with this one. Death Tolls leads to learning how to prevent it again. The issue is when you havent faced it before, how you deal with it, especially given different political, infrastructure, geography, etc from different countries that makes it hard to take the plans of one and replicate it in another.

Unfortunately, these extremely busy women are still expected to take on the full load of a stay at home wife and mother. Socially, husbands are expected to not help, looked down on if they do, and often, it is looked down on to hire servants. At least it was like this a few years ago. These women are powerhouses with the loads they are carrying.

Poor mice

I NEED this soap. I will eat it if necessary. I am a mosquito magnet.

Prague Astronomical Clock built in 1410. 3rd oldest clock in the world, and the oldest still operating clock.

The holes were already dug and they didn't water, but still hugely impressive!

Israel still uses a system where each party has a letter of the hebrew alphabet as their symbol, you take one card with the party you wants letter, put it in a envelope, seal it, and then place then you leave the privacy room and go to the room with the box where you put the envelope inside while a poll watcher sees. Was done because many of so many Jewish refugees from so many countries arriving in 1949 and just before, that they needed a way to make voting simple. They still use it.

Maybe shortest, but not the tightest. That honour belongs to Split with Pusti me da prođem Street. ♡

That's in lovely Madrid!

Because they didn't think it important enough to state what it was for, it was the Nobel Peace Prize. It was awarded jointly with Denis Mukwege for "their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict"

It is quite inconvenient to find you don't have any cash on you when you're mountaineering.

PARTY TIME! just not in the pandemic

In Sofia Bulgaria, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholics, Muslims and Jews can all pray in their respective places of worship just across the street from one another.

you have this is many places around the world. There are no less than 14 such examples in NYC alone, and at least 20 in Israel, not to mention in several other places. This isnt a big deal, where I live you have a synogue with a Hebrew Day School across the street from a Mosque with an Islamic School.

My synagogue in Omaha, Nebraska literally shares a campus with a mosque and a church. We have one plot of land, individual buildings connected by a walkway (and frequent events where members of each house of worship will get together ie on holidays), and a common building is currently under construction as well. I'm glad that this isn't actually so unique. We all have so much more in common than anything that separates us.

In Turkey, it is very common, as in Istanbul, Mardin...You can see a mosque, a synagogue and a church in just one photo frame.

My country! ❤️

When people are normal, they can practice their faith side by side.

Well the masjid Al aqsa in Jerusalem is open to Jews, Christians and Muslims ,Also in Nigeria National mosque is located side by side of the ecumenical center in Abuja.

In San Francisco, California, Brotherhood Way has denominations of many faiths side by side. https://www.kalw.org/post/one-street-many-faiths-brotherhood-way#stream/0

Slightly unrelated, but I've always loved the architecture of religious buildings. Always very beautiful, the interior so much so as well.

United, as all things/people should be.

And they are both beautiful buildings. All as it should be. What difference does it make to you or me what someone else's faith is?

In Melacca Malaysia, there are Buddist temples, Mandirs (Hindu temples), small Mosques and a church on the same street, some next door to each other. It's a really beautiful multicultural and colourful town.

We have synagogue, church, and mosque side by side (back to back) In Istanbul. wtf?

Also, they share the parking lot. And to the right of the synagogue is a wooden cathedral.

This is how it should be.

Beautiful

As it should be anywhere. You should be free to 'worship' whatever sky fairy you are delusional about (or not pray to a magical being at all, as us rational people do ....)

I think the world would be a better place if more politicians were scientists instead of lawyers...Or reality TV "stars"...

Growing up my favorite food was strawberries, but at some point in my adult life raspberries snuck up to number one. Truth be told, I’m keen on most fruits.

Four, eh?

in Canada everyone knows him.way more than politicians!

nice

Should be taught in all schools.

Dėl Toro, Iñárritu and Cuaron

We went to the butterfly garden. Our stop-over was too short to visit this :-(.

Give it time... (sigh.)

living somewhere where winter skills are not just for sport totally helps :)

I watched a documentary on this a long time ago. It was built in a really windy place, Dubai I believe. The building is shaped to help guide wind towards the turbines. And the bridges are designed to expand and contract since the two buildings will shake and shift a little differently than one another in high winds.

I bet this is better than The Apprentice.

Here, am I sitting in my tin coin, Far above the world, Planet Earth is blue.

It may be overreacting to say "That alone warrants their doom", but still...

It was called the Tree of Ténéré. In 1973 it was hit by a drunk truck driver. Goes to prove that you will ALWAYS find something to hit when driving drunk.

What an interesting approach to rehabilitation!

How deep? I’m too lazy to look it up

Not religious but liking the coin

Considering that Peru is the one to give us this gem of stews, I heartily agree they should study their 2000-4000 heirloom varieties.
