Thailand is a famous country for tourism because of its typical tropical scenery, ancient religions, and unique culture. Almost all the local residents believe in Buddhism, so Buddhist temples are the certain places tourists should go. People should wear shirt with collars but not t-shirts if they want to enter temples, and they have to take off their shoes outside of the temples. Also, tourists are not allowed to take pictures of Buddha inside temples because it is considered that they do not respect the religion. In addition, still because of the religion residents never chase away deserted dogs; these dogs are fed by passersby and stay on streets meekly. Snakes are considered as deific animals in this country, so do not be scared when you see snakes and be careful that it is said people will suffer misfortune if they hurt snakes.

Egypt is a mysterious country. How ancient Egyptians built pyramids without any developed technology, what the backgrounds of the works of art are, and how pharaohs ran this country are not only secrets of history but also wealthy culture nowadays. Nobody can explain the miracles exactly, although scientists have researched them for hundreds of years because most of the documents were destroyed in wars thousands of years ago. Someone said pyramids which were used as tombs of pharaohs were built by slaves from neighbor countries, while someone found that the builders were Egyptians who worked for their god, and their life was fun and relaxed. Almost every work of art, through which we can imagine what ancient Egypt was like and what happened in this mysterious country, had a relation with religion. And since scientists found the corpse of the last pharaoh, people have become more interested in this country.
