My favourite animal is turtle; they are reptiles charecterised by a special shell developed from their ribs that acts as a shield. The earliest known turtles date from 215 million years ago, making turtles one of the oldest reptile group and one of the oldest animals of today.
Like other reptiles, turtles are cold-blooded; it means that their internal temperature varies according to the ambient environment. Turtles generally lives in or around water, but also they spend time on earth.
The largest living turtle is the leatherback sea turtle, which reaches a shell lenght of 2 meters and can reach a weight of over 900 kg. In the other hand, the smallest turtle is the speckled padloper tortoise of South Africa. It measures no more than 8 cm. in lenght and weights about 140 grams.
Turtles are my favourite animal because they seem from another era; I think they look a lot like dinosaurs, and that makes them very special. Also, they are very slow, and I think that humans should learn from them and lower the speed with wich we live.
I think that I can have "average" turtles at home, but in no way one like the leatherback sea turtle!
A particular characteristic of turtles is that females lay their eggs on the same beach where they were born.

LONG LIVE FOR TURTLES AND SLOW TO HUMANS LIFE!!

Tibet - བོད་

Tibet is the highest region on earth, with an average elevation of 5.000 metres is an amazing place. Religion is very importante for Tibetans, and buddhism has a strong influence over all aspects of their lives. 

After the chinese civil war, the People`s Republic of China incorporated Tibet in 1950 and negotiated the seventeen point agreement with the  14th Dalai Lama`s government, affirming that they would granting the area autonomy. In his exile, the Dalai Lama repudiated the agreement, wich he has repetead on many occasions. Actually Tibetans lives under chinesse control.

I would like to go there because I think that Tibet is a very special place. The landscapes, the people, the religion, the architecture, the arts and the culture of that place is amazing.
You can do a few things on Tibet; how it`s not conquered by the West and the capitalism, you can pray in a monasteries or take a ride.

I would like to make this trip alone because it is a of spiritual journey. I think that is possible go to Tibet in the future; I need a lot of money for the plane ticket to China and several documents. 

FREEDOM FOR THE TIBET!!
