TRAVEL AND LIFESTYLE DIARIES

The Sunlight Rock (aka Ri Guang Yan 日光岩) is a Buddhist Temple built on Gulangyu Island (Xiamen) during the Ming dynasty circa the early 1500s. The temple worships Guanyin, the goddess of mercy.

This is a bit of a very late post. This dinner was my last dinner in Cebu, just after Christmas. Scape Skydeck view in Mactan Island, Cebu.

I was in Malta last week for a short holiday. The view from our hotel room at Phoenicia is the Valletta fortified city, the Grand Harbour, and the Three Cities. The view above is Valletta fortified city. It's just surreal to wake up to this view every day.

Ah, our last day in Sarajevo! View of the city of Sarajevo from the hills near the fortress.

Have you heard of the Bosnian War and Genocide in the 1990's? For the young generations and for those living outside of Europe, perhaps you have not. I believe this is the missing person wall. I did not take this picture though. I got this from the website of the Srebrenica Exhibition: Gallerija 11/07/1995. I stopped taking pictures when I entered the exhibition room

First things first, I am not a religious person. I do not believe in any god or deity of some sort. I used to though. But that was a looooong time ago. Like, some 20+ years ago. Easter Sunday mass service at the Sacred Heart Cathedral of Sarajevo.

The beautiful, cosy ambience and the green panoramic views from Kibe Mahala Restaurant.

Stari Grad is the old town center of Sarajevo and within Stari Grad you will find Baščaršija, the inner old town, the remaining vestiges of the Ottoman Empire in Bosnia & Hercegovina. This blog post, however, is about the other part of Stari Grad.
