I Don't Know.

Assalamualaikum and hi to my dearest reader.
Actually I don't know what to do and write in this blog anymore, it's not that I don't want to update this blog, I just in a blank mood. I'm 100% don't know what to do.
I planned to update our blog today about Tawau's interesting places I was writing the header of that post and I want to check my error, so, I used Google Translate. My mother was sitting beside me when I'm translating, when she saw me, I want to make her amazed so, I  changed the language to Korean. Then, I type some words in English and translate it. After that, I click "listen" to hear the pronunciation, my mother became weird because of the weird sound. Then, we keep on doing the same thing with different words until I forgot about my post earlier. When we finish do that, I remembered my post. Once I remember, I became lazy to continued it, but you still can read about Tawau's interesting places.
I don't think I have more story, so, I end my post here with
Assalamualaikum and good night.

Fairy Floss

Assalamualaikum and good night.
Fairy floss! Do you know what is a fairy floss?
In other words for fairy floss is cotton candy. Recently, I (Ila)  like to eat cotton candy, so I search something about it. This is my search result,  Fairy floss (Australian), cotton candy (US, Canada) is a form of spun sugar. Since cotton candy is mostly air, is a small initial quantity of sugar generates a tremendously greater final volume, causing servings to be physically large and voluminous. A typical serving  on a stick is approximately and contains roughly 115 dietary voluminous. it is often served at fairgrounds or circuses. Food colouring is used to changed the natural white colour.

Cotton candy was first recorded around the 1900s. At that time, spun sugar was an expensive, labor-intensive endeavor and was not generally available to the average person. Machine-spun candy was invented in 1897 by the dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton and first introduced to a wide audience at the 1904 World's Fair as "Fairy Floss" with great success, selling 68, 655 boxes at the then-high price of 25¢, half the cost of admission to the fair. Fairy Floss was renamed to "Cotton Candy" in the 1920s. In the 1970s an automatic cotton candy machine was created which made the product and packaged it. This made it easier to produce and available to sell at carnivals, fairs, and stores in the 1910s.
Tootsie Roll of Canada Ltd., the world's largest cotton-candy manufacturer, makes a bagged, fruit-flavored version called Fluffy Stuff.
The United States celebrates National Cotton Candy Day on 7th December.

The cotton candy is sticky, sugary and sweet, it dissolves quickly in the mouth although it fells like wool to the touch. It does not have much of an aroma although the machine itself has a cooked sugar smell when in operation.  When it comes in contact with moisture, it becomes sticky and moist. Because the sugar is hygroscopic (ability of a substance to attract and hold water molecules from the surrounding environment, and has a very large surface area, it will become coarser, harder and generally less "flossy" once exposed to the atmosphere.

Smallest Country In This World.

Assalamualaikum and good evening.
you guys must know our world  is the biggest country right?
well, I'm not going to share about world biggest country but I'm going to share about world smallest country.
Some of our smallest country are PalauAndorraBarbadosNauru, and many more. I'm not going to share about any of them. Because I want to share about Vatican City. It says there Vatican City was about 0.2 square miles. It's population was 770, none of them are permanent resident. Vatican City also known as the Holy See. It is surrounded by Rome, Italy.

The Vatican obelisk was originally taken by Caligula from Heliopolis, Egypt to decorate the spina of his circus and is thus its last visible remnant. This area became the site of martydom of many Chistians after the Great Fire of Rome. Ancient tradition holds that it was in this circus that Saint Peter was crucified upside-down.

Vatican City officially pursued a policy of neutrality during World War II, under the leadership of Pope Pius XII. Although the city of Rome was occupied by Germany from 1943 and the Allies from 1944, Vatican City itself was not occupied. One of Pius XII's main diplomatic priorities was to prevent the bombing of Rome; so sensitive was the pontiff that he protested even the British air dropping of pamphlets over Rome, claiming that the few landing within the city-state violated the Vatican's neutrality. Before the American entry into the war, there was little impetus for such a bombing, as the British saw little strategic value in it.
