Whenever anyone mentions Ireland, the first things that leap to mind are the rolling green landscape, picturesque castles, and cheerful Irish people hanging out in pubs, listening to good music and ...drinking Guinness. These are typical scenes from various movies set on the “emerald isle,” as the poet William Drennan poetically called it. Ireland has a long and complicated history. Until the end of the Middle Ages, it was characterized by Celtic culture, Viking raids, and the Norman invasion, and the entire Modern Age was marked by the dispute between the British and the Irish over control of the island—and many bloody conflicts between the two. It was only in the twentieth century that the situation calmed down to some extent, and the island was divided into the independent Republic of Ireland and British Northern Ireland.
For the past half century, military dictatorship has left Burma (Myanmar), dubbed the Land of a Thousand Pagodas, practically completely isolated from the outside world. In addition to Buddhism, the ...predominant religion, this is also one of the reasons why its people have remained simple, open-hearted, and hospitable. There are more than 135 different ethnic groups living in Burma. Because of the country’s diverse natural resources, it already attracted the attention of the global superpowers in the past, manifested in sixty years of British colonialism. It continues to be of interest today, especially because of its extensive supplies of natural gas, oil, gems, precious and rare metals, and valuable teakwood.Exceptionally picturesque Burma is also characterized by great biodiversity. The country is renowned for its elephants, many of which have been tamed. Rare white (albino) elephants are the most admired.The recommended ten-day tour first takes you to Burma’s largest city, Yangon, after which you continue your trip across the Irrawaddy Valley to the city of Bagan with its thousands of temples, and on to the country’s cultural center of Mandalay. Just before that you can climb Mount Popa, a dormant volcano, the mysterious abode of spirits known as the nats. You continue your trip onto the Shan Plateau to enjoy the peaceful flow of life at Lake Inle. If you have enough time, it is also worth visiting one of the seaside resorts.
Izredna izdaja Zgodbarnice.“Na pobudo dr. Nevenke Bogataj iz Andragoškega centra Slovenije se tudi naš študijski krožek Zgodbarnica, delujoč v Knjižnici Kozina, enoti Kosovelove knjižnice Sežana, ...odziva na podnebne spremembe – z zgodbami. Tudi drugače, ampak tokrat predvsem z zgodbami. Pisce sem povabila k pisanju o podnebnih razmerah v preteklosti in danes preko različnih medijev, najsi bo preko elektronske pošte, facebooka in ustno. In misel k zgodbam pišem ravno na Dan Zemlje, našega preljubega planeta, ki ga, žal, vse bolj menefregistično obravnavamo, brezvestno posegamo na teritorije drugih živih bitij, npr. na teritorij rastlin, ki pretvarjajo ogljikov dioksid v kisik in nam zelo koristijo, mi pa onesnažujemo in s tem povzročamo umiranje vrst, uporabljamo nenaravne materiale, kot bi medsebojno tekmovali, kdo bo v tem boljši. Seveda ne umanjka na take dni medijskega leporečja.” (Patricija Dodič, mentorica ŠK Zgodbarnica, str. 2)
