A Symbol of Serbian Endurance: Ćele Kula - Skull Tower

by Lukas Bruihler / Jan 09, 2013 / 0 comments

In the early 1800s, the Serbs were growing restless of the Ottoman’s rule. They formed a band of around 10,000 rebels, led by Stevan Sinđelić. Advancing on the city of Niš, the rebels encountered a force of nearly 30,000 Turkish soldiers. The Serbs defended their positions, but when there was no hope of anyone surviving, Stevan Sinđelić went onto the gunpowder stores and fired his flintlock pistol into the barrels of powder. He blew up everyone on the battlefield, including all of the attacking Turks and his men, too.

Playing Minecraft With Friends Across The World

When I lived in Montenegro, I used to play Minecraft with two of my friends.  It was a lot of fun for us.  When my family left Montenegro, I was sad that I wouldn’t be able to play with my friends anymore.  When I was in Chiang Mai, Thailand, for a week, I met two other traveling kids who played Minecraft, and I played with them when we could.  Recently, I decided to try to arrange a time for all of us to play over the Internet, to connect and have fun.

Descending further down into the ocean, seeing the water enclose over the top of your head, is just a taste of what it is like to SCUBA dive.  Being under the ocean in a marine inhabited area is truly breath-taking.  When you’re ninety feet under the water, you forget all the worries and problems that you had on land, and completely check out.  The ocean is one big Zen.

Visiting Cambodia's Palm Beach Resort

by Lukas Bruihler / Dec 19, 2012 / 0 comments

When my family visited Palm Beach Resort, we had a fabulous time. I made a video to share how amazing it is. When you watch the video, you will see that this is an ideal place for anyone - either drinking from a coconut while relaxing in a beach chair, or playing volleyball with friends on the sand. Even the location is perfect: on Koh Rong Island, only hours away from Angkor Wat, one of the seven wonders of the world. Experience Cambodia's natural beauty at this amazing place.
