So when I traveled with my grandmother and with her students and her daughter, we went to the most iconic and well-known place, which looked like a wonderland from one side, But for another, it looked like very ancient mosaics, which was kind of interesting, the mixture of my theology and the ancient architecture. So basically, the whole thing, it wasn’t like a building, but it had many small arches. And if to look in from the top, it looked like a big garden with many roof tops with arches. So, and it had a lot of mosaics. So it recalled me a Sri Lanka, from a TV series, it’s called Iol Ilyashka. It was a Russian series and there were two journalists who traveled the whole world. And one of them had a lot of money, so he lived like a successful rich man, and another one lived very poor, like 15 years only. He had only 15 years. So like to survive. And it, but also apart from just one new land and any ancient architecture, it also looked like a sweet house from a fair tale. I think it was Swedish one, but where two kids they went out for a walk without the permission of their parents. They found a house, a sweet house with a witch who eats the kids.

So when I traveled with my grandmother, her students, and her daughter, we went to the most iconic and well-known place, which looked like a wonderland from one side. But on the other side, it looked like very ancient mosaics, which was kind of interesting, the mixture of mythology and ancient architecture. So basically, the whole thing wasn't just a building; it had many small arches. If you looked in from the top, it resembled a big garden with many rooftops and arches. It had a lot of mosaics. It reminded me of Sri Lanka from a TV series called Iol Ilyashka. It was a Russian series where two journalists traveled the whole world. One of them had a lot of money, so he lived like a successful rich man, while the other lived very poorly, surviving for only 15 years. Apart from just one new land and ancient architecture, it also looked like a sweet house from a fairy tale. I think it was Swedish, where two kids went out for a walk without their parents' permission. They found a house, a sweet house with a witch who eats the kids.
