"The Island of Dream"



There is a place what I think one of the most beautiful islands in the world. It’s called Bora Bora. The original name of the island in the Tahitian language 'Pora Pora,it means "First Born" and in 18th- and 19th century documents were found and at that time the name was: "Bollabolla".


This is a tiny islet in the group of the Society Islands of French Polynesia. It is surrounded by a lagoon and a barrier reef. Mount Otemanu sits at the centre of the island. These are the most visited places on the isle.

Today Bora Bora is mainly dependent on tourism. Tourists admire the buildings which are typically built in Polynesian style. Houses are a few feet above the in the lagoon so from the window you can wonder the sunup and the sunset.

During when I was reading interesting things about the island I found something what I didn’t know. Tattoos originated in Polynesia. A man's family origin was tattooed on his right side while his victories and awards on his left. They made it with shark's tooth. The government banned officially this ritual.

Bora Bora is associated with the most romantic island in the Pacific- Ocean. Perfect place for hooneymoon! To tell the truth this country is very expensive. So if you like to visit it you have to open your purse.

WAR



Yesterday my boyfriend and I watched War. This is an American action thriller. I don't really like films that have so many fighting and shooting scenes but it has an adventurous and exciting plot . The main characters are Jet Li (Rogue) and Jason Statham (Jack Crawford).
So just a short summary.
After Jack Crawford FBI agent's partner Tom Lone and his family were murdered by Rogue, an assiossin, he promised to look up Rouge and get even with him. Jack's life turned a shambles his wife and son left him after a divorce. Rogue had dissapeared and nobody had seen him for a long time. 3 years later he came back to investigate a maffia war between the Chenese Triad led by Chan and a Yakusa club led by Shiro. Crawford's aim was to prohibit this war. He didn't deal with the circumstances and when Crawford and Rouge met the agent had recognised Rouge was not the man he thought... Jet Li played Victor Shaw a deadly hit man playing both the Yakuza and Triads. Shaw apparently was the mysterious Rogue.
Nothing good could come of that... Writers effectively built the tension toward the first and the final plot twist.
Jason Statham and Jet Li played mixed characters who also representated the good and the bad.
I could just recommend this film. Worth to see !
