UK National Flag.

The flag of the United Kingdom, called the Union Flag or Union Jack is a combination of the crosses of the patron saints of United Kingdom.
The red cross on a white background of the center is St George of England. The white saltire on a blue backround is the cross of St. Andrew of Scotland.
And the red salitre on a white backround is the cross of St.Patrick of Ireland.

Its name comes from 1707 when the Royal Navy adopted the design for their boats, which was informally renamed Union Jack.

Many places to see.

Do you know that feeling of freedom? When you are so far away about your rutinal life. For me is the best feeling, when I am in a journey in someplace different to this.Well, I like my country and the people, but I have a strong interest about different cultures and I love to travel.
Today I am going to show you where I have been.

My first trip was to a small city near Bristol, called Midsomer Norton I think.I went there in a school exchange when I was about 15. There we visit the city of Bath and the Cheddar Caves.

My second trip was to London with my friend Edward. He is from London and he wanted to learn Spanish so we decided to have a kind of familiar exchange. I stayed in his parents home in Essex but we were able to visit London everyday in a week. I saw many things of that beautiful city and I enjoyed it too much. Here is a photo of the Globe Theater, a build I really liked due to its history.



After that trip I went with my school on a tour through different countries. First we went to Gent in Belgium.There we stayed about 4 days. From there we went one day to Brussels. 








Another day we went to visit Amsterdam in Netherlands. This is my favourite city because of the people and history and the strange layout of the city.



Then we visit the city of Brugge, a city of tale, with all its beautiful buildings,lakes and gardens.


Finally in our return trip we stayed two days in Paris and one day in Disneyland. Paris is a really beautiful city, but the country I like the most is Netherlands.



And my last trip was this year to Ucraine, Vasilkiv exactly, to attend a wedding. The country is really poor but the people is lovely, I mean it.

Slumville Sunrise - Jake Bugg.






The wind keeps beating on my window
I haven't slept all night
That drum just keeps on banging
They must be buzzin' out their minds
Like bees in a hive
Tell me when the morning arrives


This place is just not for me

I say it all the time
My friends they just ignore me
Tell me nevermind,
Waiting all your life for the Slumville Sunrise


Slumville Sunrise

Nobody cares or looks twice
Shout away in the morning across this place where I was born in
Every bruise, every flower illuminated by the dawning


My face upon the concrete

The dirt is in my mouth
I clench my fist and feet
I'm tryna cry out loud.
Make a sound, something is keeping me down.


This place is just not for me

I say it a thousand times
My friends they just ignore me
Tell me nevermind
Waiting all your life for the Slumville Sunrise


Slumville Sunrise

Nobody cares or looks twice
Shout away in the morning across this place where I was born in
Every bruise, every flower illuminated by the dawning


This place is just not for me

I say it all the time
My friends they just ignore me
Tell me nevermind
Waiting all your life for the Slumville Sunrise


Slumville Sunrise

Nobody cares or looks twice
Shout away in the morning across this place where I was born in
Every bruise, every flower illuminated by the dawning.
Every bruise, every flower illuminated by the dawning.
