United Kingdom – A Country

I will confess that for many years, I thought that the name the United Kingdom (U.K) was another name for the country, England.  I did not know that the U.K was the country and that it is made up of the countries England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales, whereas Britain is England and Wales.

London is the capital of the United Kingdom and England.

Belarus – Rhombicuboctahedron Building

The top part of the National Library of Belarus in Minsk is in the shape of a Rhombicuboctahedron. That is, it has eight triangular and eighteen square faces. It is said to be one of the best libraries in the world. The National Library of Belarus opened in 1922. However, on the 16th June 2006 a new building, which took several years to complete, was opened. The library has over 8 million items in it, and this includes over 70,000 manuscripts, graphics, visual and audio documents. This twenty-two-story building also has a book museum, twenty reading halls, a sky deck and a center for international meetings and negotiations.   Notes: https://www.belarus.by/en/about-belarus/architecture/national-library https://www.nlb.by/en/about-the-library/
