Ghost Towns around the World

We build towns for people to live in. But what happens when they don't want to live in them any longer? All over the world there are ghost towns, towns where people don't live any more. Here are a few.

In 1908, many Germans arrived in Luderitz (‘Looderitz') in the southern African country of Namibia. They wanted to look for diamonds and they found a lot. With the money from the diamonds they built the town of Kolmanskop. It had lots of beautiful buildings, a hospital, a school, and even a theatre. But when there weren't any more diamonds, they left the town. These days the only things that visitors to Kolmanskop see are empty buildings and a lot of sand.

In 1978, a building company in Taiwan started building a holiday resort in the Sanzhi (‘Sanjee') District of New Taipei City. For the next two years they built a lot of round buildings. They didn't look like normal houses, but more like spaceships. People called them the ‘UFO houses'. In 1980, they stopped building the houses because there wasn't enough money and for 28 years the resort was a ghost town. However, no one can visit this city today because in 2008 they demolished all the buildings. All we can see now are photos of these strange looking houses.

In Northern Brazil, there is the ghost town of Fordlândia. In 1928, Henry Ford – famous for his cars – decided to build a big factory there to make car tyres. He also built houses for the workers and their families. Unfortunately, the weather in the area wasn't good for growing the trees they needed to make tyres. Ford tried to make the city a success but it was difficult. In 1945, his grandson Henry Ford II sold Fordlândia. The company lost $20 million. The empty buildings of the town are still there today.

About seventy years ago, Centralia was a busy town in Pennsylvania, USA. It had five hotels, seven churches and 19 big stores. In 1962, a fire started under the town at an old mine. They spent millions of dollars trying to stop it but that didn't work. It became too dangerous to live there and everyone had to leave the town. These days a sign across the road to the town tells people to ‘stay out'. The fire is still burning today.

1 What kind of holiday is Emma going to suggest to her parents?

Mike: Erm … Emma, we're going to that hotel again for the holidays.

Emma: What? The same one as last year? Boring.

Mike: I agree. It would be much better to go camping somewhere.

Emma: Camping? Well, I'm not sure. What if it rains? Then camping is worse than staying at that hotel again for two weeks. But I've got an idea.

Mike: What's that?

Emma: I'm going to talk to Mum and Dad. I'm going to make a suggestion.

Mike: Oh yeah?

Emma: Yes, how about a holiday in a houseboat on a canal somewhere?

Mike: That would be the best holiday ever!

2 Who's got the best idea about what they can do?

Dad: Well, a holiday on a houseboat is an excellent idea, but it's too late for that now, sorry. We're going to the same hotel this year as last year. It's booked.

Emma: Oh, Dad, come on. Is there nothing you can do? You've always got great ideas.

Dad: Sorry, there's nothing we can do.

Mike: I haven't got any ideas either.

Mum: Hey, Jim, why don't we ask our parents?

Dad: Our parents?

Mum: Yes, my parents and your parents. When we showed them the photos of the hotel last year, they really liked it. I'm going to talk to them. Maybe they can go together.

Mike: Wow, thanks, Mum. What a great idea.

Dad: But listen, they might say no, OK?

Emma: Sure. Then we can go to the hotel again. And next year…

Mike: We're going to go on a houseboat!

All: Yes. Definitely.

3 When are Emma and her family going on holiday?

Mum: Emma? Mike? I've got news for you.

Emma: Coming, Mum.

Mum: Listen. I've spoken to your grandparents.

Mike: And?

Mum: They are starting their holiday on the 18th of July. And they are going to go on holiday together.

Emma: OK …. And erm … where are they going?

Mum: They're going to spend two weeks … on a houseboat.

Emma/Mike: What?

Mum: No, I'm joking… they're going to spend two weeks… in… the… hotel where we wanted to stay!

Mike: Seriously? That's fantastic.

Mum: And I spoke to the people who rent out the houseboats. We can't go on the 18th of July. The boats are all booked out. But the 4th of July, or the 8th of August are possible. So Dad and I talked about this… we're going on the 4th of July.

Emma: Wow. That's in two weeks' time.

She's not sure – if it rains it's worse than the hotel.

He thinks it's an excellent idea, but too late to arrange.

She's going to suggest that they all go on holiday
to the hotel together.

She says the grandparents are going to spend two weeks on a houseboat.

In two weeks' time.

1 What kind of holiday is Emma going to suggest to her parents?

Mike: Erm … Emma, we're going to that hotel again for the holidays.

Emma: What? The same one as last year? Boring.

Mike: I agree. It would be much better to go camping somewhere.

Emma: Camping? Well, I'm not sure. What if it rains? Then camping is worse than staying at that hotel again for two weeks. But I've got an idea.

Mike: What's that?

Emma: I'm going to talk to Mum and Dad. I'm going to make a suggestion.

Mike: Oh yeah?

Emma: Yes, how about a holiday in a houseboat on a canal somewhere?

Mike: That would be the best holiday ever!

2 Who's got the best idea about what they can do?

Dad: Well, a holiday on a houseboat is an excellent idea, but it's too late for that now, sorry. We're going to the same hotel this year as last year. It's booked.

Emma: Oh, Dad, come on. Is there nothing you can do? You've always got great ideas.

Dad: Sorry, there's nothing we can do.

Mike: I haven't got any ideas either.

Mum: Hey, Jim, why don't we ask our parents?

Dad: Our parents?

Mum: Yes, my parents and your parents. When we showed them the photos of the hotel last year, they really liked it. I'm going to talk to them. Maybe they can go together.

Mike: Wow, thanks, Mum. What a great idea.

Dad: But listen, they might say no, OK?

Emma: Sure. Then we can go to the hotel again. And next year…

Mike: We're going to go on a houseboat!

All: Yes. Definitely.

3 When are Emma and her family going on holiday?

Mum: Emma? Mike? I've got news for you.

Emma: Coming, Mum.

Mum: Listen. I've spoken to your grandparents.

Mike: And?

Mum: They are starting their holiday on the 18th of July. And they are going to go on holiday together.

Emma: OK …. And erm … where are they going?

Mum: They're going to spend two weeks … on a houseboat.

Emma/Mike: What?

Mum: No, I'm joking… they're going to spend two weeks… in… the… hotel where we wanted to stay!

Mike: Seriously? That's fantastic.

Emma: Wow. That's in two weeks' time.

Alice's Word

Today – rain in London. Tomorrow – sun in Dubai! It's time to go. We're going to fly out tomorrow! I am soooo excited! OK, I'm a bit sad to say goodbye to my friends but we aren't going to be in Dubai too long. Mum's contract is only for 18 months. Actually, that's quite a long time but I'm certainly not going to get bored. There are loads of things to do in Dubai. Here's what I'm going to do:

Visit Port Jebel Ali – the largest man-made harbour in the world.

•

Go to the top of the Burj al Arab (you know – that building that looks like a ship's sail).

Shop – there are zillions of shopping malls there. You can go skiing in one of them.

Get into khaliji music – it's amazing.

Eat Middle Eastern food – I just love it.

Play some golf in the desert (yes, it's possible), and see some tennis at the Dubai tennis stadium.

And go to school, of course. I'm going to go to the Dubai British School.

I think that's enough to keep me busy!

The Life of Brian

Big news this week. We're moving! That's right, two months from now it's 'Goodbye Toronto' and 'Hello Yellowknife!'

For those of you who don't know, Yellowknife (population about 19,000) is right at the top of Canada so obviously it's pretty cold – minus 27°C in January! But it gets up to 17°C in the summer.

We're going because Dad's got a new job. He's going to work for a diamond company there.

Anyway the best thing about Yellowknife is every winter there's this really cool festival. It's called the Snowking Winter Festival. Basically, every year they build a really big ice castle on the frozen lake. Then they have loads of concerts and activities for children. They even show films on the walls of the castle. I'm definitely going to that. It's also a really good place to see the Northern Lights. I promise to take loads of photos and put them on my blog.

My sister and I are going to study at the Sir John Franklin High School. It's got a really good theatre so I'm going to do some acting there for sure. There's also a good sports centre too. It's going to be different but I'm sure I'm going to have a good time. And don't worry – I'm not going to stop writing my blog.

Our town looks a mess and that's not good for tourism. I hate the litter in our streets. Why can't people put it in the bins? It's not difficult. We need to educate people quickly. We need more litter bins and billboards saying 'Don't drop it – Bin it!' and things like that.

We also need to punish people who drop litter. I think they

should spend a day picking it up.

The biggest problem in our town is the cars. There are too many cars on our roads and the drivers don't care about the pedestrians. They drive really fast. Some of them don't even stop at zebra crossings! I ride my bike everywhere and I just don't feel very safe, even when I'm in a cycle lane. We can stop this problem easily. Let's get more speed cameras to catch these fast drivers and then stop them from driving in our town.

People like to complain about the graffiti on the shops in the high street. They think it's ugly. I agree that a lot of it is. But if you look closely some of this art is really good. Some of these people paint really well. Why don't we use them to make the town more attractive? I think we should create graffiti walls where these artists can show off their art. Maybe this will stop the problem of them doing it illegally.

Ghost Towns around the World

In 1908, many Germans arrived in Luderitz in the southern African country of Namibia. They wanted to look for diamonds and they found a lot. With the money from the diamonds they built the town of Kolmanskop. It had lots of beautiful buildings, a hospital, a school, and even a theatre. But when there weren't any more diamonds, they left the town. These days the only things that visitors to Kolmanskop see are empty buildings and a lot of sand.

In 1978, a building company started building a holiday resort in the Sanzhi District of New Taipei City. For the next two years they built a lot of round buildings. They didn't look like normal houses, but more like spaceships. People called them the 'UFO houses'. In 1980, they stopped building the houses because there wasn't enough money and for 28 years the resort was a ghost town. However, no one can visit this city today because in 2008 they demolished all the buildings. All we can see now are photos of these strange looking houses.

About 70 years ago, Centralia was a busy town in Pennsylvania, USA. It had five hotels, seven churches and 19 big stores. In 1962, a fire started under the town at an old mine. They spent millions of dollars trying to stop it but that didn't work. It became too dangerous to live there and everyone had to leave the town. These days a sign across the road to the town tells people to 'stay out'. The fire is still burning today.

Hi Luke,

[1] How are you? I hope you're not studying too hard. Don't worry, there are only two more weeks of school. Anyway, I'm writing because I've got some really cool news. You won't believe it. Mum and Dad are taking me to Sydney for the summer. Sydney, Australia! I can't wait.

[2] So I did some research on the Internet. It looks like a really amazing place. Of course, there's the famous harbour with the bridge and the Opera House but there are so many other great things to do there. I'm definitely going to hang out on Bondi Beach. And guess what? Mum's going to buy me some surfing lessons. I'm going to be a surfer! We're going to be there for the whole of August. It's winter there but I think the Australian winter is hotter than our summer. So that's it – my big news. What do you think?

UNUSUAL TOWNS

Monowi, USA

Elsie Eiler is famous in the town of Monowi in Nebraska and everybody knows her name. That's because Elsie is the only person who lives there. Monowi was never a big town. In the 1930s the population was 150 but over the years people slowly started leaving. In 2000 there were only two people left; Elsie and her husband, Rudy. When Rudy died, Elsie became the only citizen.

Thames Town, China

Shanghai is one of China's biggest cities. But just outside of Shanghai is a rather unusual town called Thames Town. It cost £500 million to build and it is part of their 'One City, Nine Towns' project. When you walk down the streets there you might forget you are in China. You might start thinking you are in England. That is because Thames Town is a copy of an English town. The streets and the buildings all look English. It has red phone boxes, London street signs, fish and chip shops and English pubs. There are also statues of Harry Potter and James Bond. Elsewhere in China, you can find the Eiffel Tower, an Austrian village and even Stonehenge.

Sheffield, Australia

In the 1980s, the citizens of Sheffield on the Australian island of Tasmania decided they wanted more tourists to visit their town. They had an idea to turn their streets into an outdoor art gallery. They asked artists to paint huge paintings on the walls around town. Children from the local school helped too. They painted little murals on the rubbish bins. There are now more than 60 of these murals, which show important scenes from history. The plan worked and these days about 200,000 people visit Sheffield every year.

Roswell, USA

Some people believe that in 1947 an alien spacecraft crashed near the town of Roswell in New Mexico. They believe that the American military seized this UFO and took it to a secret place outside of the town. These days Roswell sees many tourists who are interested in life on other planets. There are many shops that sell souvenirs and there is one fast food restaurant with a UFO theme. There is also a museum about aliens.

A move to the countryside

For the first twelve years of my life my family lived in a large city. Two years ago my parents decided to move to the countryside. I was horrified. How could I leave all my friends? How could I live somewhere with no cinema, with no skateboard park, where the nearest shop was more than 3 km away?

But Mum and Dad didn't listen to me. They were tired of the city life. Mum's a writer so she can live anywhere and Dad looks after me and my two younger brothers. They thought the country was a better place to bring up children.

Well, two years later and I agree with them. I love it here. I love the freedom of being outside. You can ride your bike everywhere. You don't have to worry about cars. Of course, I found new friends. Not as many as I had, but that isn't a problem. I'm still in contact with my very best friend from the city, Anna, and she comes to visit most holidays. She loves it here. She wants her parents to move too.

Mini-Shanghai

It's difficult to know exactly how many people live in the Chinese city of Shanghai, but it's at least 20 million. For sure, it's one of the world's biggest cities. Of course, you need a lot of space to find room for so many people, and to give you an idea of just how big Shanghai is, there is a model of the whole city on the third floor of Shanghai's Urban Planning Museum. The model is huge. It's 93 m2 and it covers the whole floor of the museum. In fact, it's too big to take a photograph of the whole thing. You can try but you'll find you have to take quite a few photos.

Of course, Shanghai is a city that is growing fast and every year there are about 200 new skyscrapers. The model does not show what Shanghai looks like now. It shows Shanghai in the year 2020.

So many kinds of weather!

Peru isn't just a beautiful country. Tourists love it because of its attractive jungles, its stunning beaches and the fantastic Peruvian food. And many people come to see Machu Picchu, a very interesting Inca site that's more than 500 years old. But Peru is also famous for its many different climates. If you travel from one place to another, you can have very different weather on the same day!

The weather on the coast is usually dry and warm, often hot. In the summer, it's hardly ever rainy there. In winter, the coast is often foggy, and the fog even has its own name, garúa. In the areas near the ocean, the so-called 'rainy season' starts around late May and comes to an end in October.

In the mountains, the famous Andes, it's often cool, and sometimes cold. The summers there are usually rainy, but the winters are very dry, and can be freezing. In the east, where there are no mountains, the weather is usually hot and humid all year round.
