Carved into the sandstone cliffs overlooking the Bamiyan Valley are the remains of the largest Buddha statues to have ever been created in the world. These monuments dated from the 3rd to the 6th centuries, and stood proudly looking over the beautifully cultivated countryside. They survived the inv…

The town hall of Leuven is build in 1439. There have been several other halls before the one that can be viewed now. You find this masterpiece of architecture on the Grand Place, in the center of the city.
The Town hall is constructed in a Gothic style, with four towers (one on each corner), two …

Libya hasn't got a lot of big museum with lots of antiquities from all around the world. What they do have in the Tripoli museum is the world best collection of Libyan antiquities. From ancient days to the present. And it is very easy to find being in the centre of town right at the Green Sqaure in …

This church was the first Baroque and Jesuit church in Krakow and the architecture is based on the Gesu church in Rome. The founder of this building was Piotr Skarga. He has a monument opposite to the church and is also buried inside. Most famous are the statues of the 12 apostles in front of the fa…

Overall, what stands out in my mind is the high quality of the wood carvings. I was not prepared for the quality of work and friendliness of the workers and staff there. These people are all from the Akamba tribe and work outside the main warehouse and showroom in small huts and covered areas. Each …

The Roman Forum doesn't look like much when you first see it, because most of it is in ruins, but when you consider the fact so much remains after thousands of years, it is pretty spectacular. The forum was the central gathering point for religion, commerce, and civic administration. Be sure to ch…

If you should drop down Tripoli for just a day this is the place to go. Not that you will be that likely to actually just drop by with the current visa situation - but if you are in oil or something and will be in Tripoli on business and got just a day to spare go to Leptis Magna. The ancient Roma…

Southern Germany has many wonderful Castles. This one, finished in 1878, although the smallest that Ludwig II built is by far the most ornate. It is only two stories and has actually you only get to see the areas that were for Ludwig. That means most of the downstairs, which were for staff, are …

All I can say is: if you want to visit a park in Warsaw, visit Lazinski. We've payed way to much for the Wilanow gardens, which were sad, while this place is ten times bigger, nicer and it's for free.
There are several entrances to the park, most of them have bus stops in front. The park is most …

I would recommend seeing Maya Lin's Vietnam Veteran's Memorial. Here is what she had to say about the war:
“the politics had eclipsed the veterans, their service and their lives.”
The memorial is comprised of three components: the Wall of names, the Three Servicemen Statue and Flagpole…

This was definitely one of my favourite places in Bishkek. Undoubtedly part of its attraction was due to the unexpectedness of finding so much greenery in a city that is subject to such extremes of temperature, and is so landlocked. In fact there are several acres of green grass, and large leafy t…

The first winery we pulled into was the relatively small Peju Winery. We didn't actually sample any of the wines here, but the Peju is worth briefly visiting if only for the beautiful estate. The garden out front is small but charming, and there is a beautiful koi pond nestled under the shade of a…

There are many statues around Leuven and they all have their own story attached to them, but there are 4 works that are a bit more special to the people of Leuven (or at least to me) than the others.
The first one is "DE KOTMADAM".
I don't know how to translate this the best way, but a "kotmada…

The statue park is not easy to reach and can easily be missed when going there by car. A few kilometres out of the city is a bit of an understatement, it's more like a few kilometres out of the city bounderies. Drive slowly and keep your eyes open when you are near.
When entering the park, don't fo…
