BEAUTIFUL DESTINATIONS
by George Kehagiadakis & Jim Maliaros (6th grade)

A place we recommend for visiting is the Atomium in Brussels, Belgium.

You can visit the Atomium, a unique building, as you can see in the picture. It was ready in 1958 and the man who made it is André Waterkeyn. He wanted to represent the nine atoms of iron crystal and he wanted his building to be the highest in the area. Its height is 110m.

Atomium is the symbol of Brussels with a magic view from the top sphere. In general, Belgium is a beautiful country and we suggest you visit it some time in the future!
