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.
