Time Travel / David

I would like to travel back in time to the Byzantium of Emperor Justinian & Empress Theodora who reigned between 527 & 565. I would like to wander the streets of Byzantium and marvel at the magnificent churches, palaces, baths and hippodromes of the city. I would like to learn Greek there so I could sit at the feet of the theologians of the time and understand their exposition of the Bible. Some things about Byzantium would be similar to the Instanbul of today, but there would be so much that would be different. The thing I would have to be careful about would be not getting ill. There were no antibiotics around at that time!

    I think one day I need to go there, because it is important for me to know my country's history and to know other country's history and culture.

      Nice comment. Know about one's culture & history plus the cultures & histories of other countries is important to the making of intelligent decisions in this globalized world. :-)

    I think it would be an amazing idea to go back into the past and know what life was like at that time.

      Agreed! History is an inexact science. I want to know what certain times were like more vividly. :-)

  My name is Hung-Yi Peng. I come from Taiwan. I live with my parents. And I'm 16 years old already. The reason why I’m doing this course is because I can't go abroad this year, and I want to improve my English language. When I have free time, I like to read book, watching anime, playing piano and listening to music. My favorite reading subjects are history and society. About piano, I play classic music more often than modern music. I also like swimming. By the way, I don't like jogging because that's really torment for me. As for my good point, I am the person who keep one's opinion. My bad point is I have no patient. And my goal is to be a person who has wonderful life! I don't have photo this few years so I only can use this old photo.

  　The terrible traffic accident happened in the U.S on August 15, 2021. One track and Porsche crashed at intersection. While one who drove the track received a minor wound, the other who drove the car suffered a severe wound. Fortunately, no one except the two was involved in the accident. The man who drove the track was Ken Smith, and he was arrested because he had been driving under the influence of alcohol. So, the cause of the accident is his drunk driving. In addition, surprisingly, the woman who drove the car was Jessica Wilson. She is a famous actress all over the world. She was found in a bad state in her car, but through the ten-hour operation she survived. Though the doctor said that it would take four months for her to recover from the wound, she left the hospital in three months! She is still actress now.
