Pompeii is the city that is a ruin and is a partly buried Roman town located close to the modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania. It lies in the territory of the commune of Pompeii. The city of Pompeii was completely destroyed and buried from a long disastrous eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius. It took two consecutive days to show its calamity during the 79 AD. The volcano distorted higher rooflines and buried the city of Pompeii deep under 20 metres, making it the remains of ash and pumice. The city was then lost for some 1,600 years before the accidental rediscovery of the city in the year 1592.Right from then, the excavation has given surprisingly comprehensive insight into the life of the city of Pompeii at the height of the Roman Empire. Today, the city of Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is among the most well known tourist attractions of Italy. More than 2,571,725 visitors throng to experience the past destruction of Pompeii and its ruins. The city remained undiscovered and buried for almost 1700 years.

Well, it's the first Thursday of the month (also April Fool's day, as my roommate will soon learn... Mwah Hah hah hah HAAAAH) and that means that it's time for another Cultural Crawl through downtown Calgary's cultural district. Calgary Culture is administrating these cultural crawls in a bid to draw attention to the burgeoning arts scene in downtown Calgary.Cultural crawls are always fun, but there's no way to see everything, there's just far too many events going on. The recommended method is to pick a handful of events that make up a route to follow throughout the day. The event list is a hefty one, and there are events happening all over downtown from 9am all the way through to 9pm. Since I've only got the afternoon free to crawl around in, I myself have a pretty short route list.First off, I'm going to check out the National Portrait Competition at The Art Gallery of Calgary. I've been meaning to check out The Kingston Prize contest for a while, and today the admission is free between 4 and 9pm.If you're unfamiliar with the contest, it's a competition to determine the best portrait of a Canadian by a Canadian artist.Then, I'm off to check out the Preview of the Calgary...more
