Half of the 5th semester

Dear everyone: The mid term break comes after busy days. So I have got a time to update this blogger.

The picture above is a sketich of my university campus. Though still on the progress, this picture is enought to dipict how my university looks like. This sketch is going to be in our exhibition taking place in the biginning of the next semester. Otherwise, I may draw another water paint with basis of this sketch by pancil.

At Amsterdam - from 29th to 31st of August

On the way back to Scotland after having a long Summer holiday in Japan, I stoped over in Amsterdam. Yeh... I really love this city so much... Liberal minded civilisation with a great history of global market, diplomacy with Japan during the period of Shogunate, the homeland of many celebraty artists such as Lembrandt and Van Gogh, and famous Red-Light-District...

If the weather was better I could draw a sketch beside the canals like I did 2 years ago. The weather on those days I stayed was, unfortunately, rainy periodically and actually cold though summer! So during the day, I visited 3 museums I mostly wanted to observe, House of Lembrandt, National Museum, and Heineken Museum(we can have 3 pints of Heineken after the tour!).


By the way, let's look at the famous picture "Night Watch" drawn by Lembrandt. As you know Lembrandt is my most respectable painter in history of all over the world, I am really happy to observe the real "Night Watch" in Amsterdam National Museum! Of course all of us would be impressed by the technique as a representative art, it is serously real to dscribe objects and humal as though they exist just here as real, but the thing we also should notice symbols and effects to make the picture further more impressive.

My result of "The Could you win the Cold War Test"

You did OK. You scored 62 External and 74 Internal!

Your economy is decent, but hardly spectacular. You have mainted parity with the US in terms of growth and output, but it has been ofset by a lack of viable trading partners. The USSR is a content country, but hardly an earth shattering one. And few nations have been influenced by your inwardly focused policies. The iron curtain still sits tight, and you have made headway in South America and Africa, yet only a third of the world calls socalism its own, and its not increasing anytime soon. Surrounded by so many US-NATO allies, its difficult to see how communism will survive in the long run. You did well, but not well enough to win the cold war.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 84% on External You scored higher than 80% on Internal You scored higher than 78% on Nuclear
