[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 09/1996 - Canada - Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada

I was clearing up a drawer which was starting to get heavy and way inside the drawer was an album about 2 inches thick. And inside the album were old pictures of a travel I made with my brother in 1996. My brother and I drove in some places in California and crossed to Canada via Vermont. Niagara Falls in Ontario Canada was the last place we drove to in the Canadian side before crossing back to New York. Here are a few more pictures of Niagara Falls which I found in the album.

[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 11/2016 - Jordan - Amman Jordan - ""The Treasury" of Petra

The visit to Petra in Amman Jordan was one of the best travels I ever made. After almost 90minutes of walking we reached the Al-Khazneh or The Treasury - one of the most elaborate temples in the ancient Arab Nabatean Kingdom city of Petra carved out of a sandstone rock face.

If you love travelling, I would recommend Petra. Go now, and maybe you can enjoy Jordan’s sights without the crowds. 

[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 04/2017 - Australia - Sydney NSW - Sydney Tower from Brighton Le Sands

These are pictures I took over a year ago of the Sydney Tower and a view of the city of Sydney from Brighton Le Sands, a suburb in South Sydney  located about 13 kilometres south-west of the Sydney central business district in New South Wales. That far!! 😍

[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 04/2017 - Australia - Sydney NSW - Brighton Le Sands - A new lesson learned about birds

I took these pictures exactly one year ago today at a Birthday Picnic Lunch. I thought these fellas were one legged. It turned out that it is natural for them to hide their other leg and stand in just one foot . Learned a new lesson on birds that day. I learned that birds sleep half their brain at a time so the other half can keep them standing. What an information!

[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 02/2005 - Philippines - Philippines - Ifugao Tribal People in the Philippines

In 2005, my niece and I visited the Banaue Rice Terraces in the Philippines which is a Unesco World Heritage site and is sometimes referred to as the 'eight wonder of the world'.  These are the tribal people that lives in the area.

The term "Ifugao" is derived from the term "ipugo' which means "earth people", "mortals", or "humans". It also means "from the hill" as pugo means hill.

[Traveler's Journal] - Flashback - 09/2001 - Hongkong - Hongkong from Victoria Peak

This is a view of Hongkong from the Victoria Peak. When the weather is clear, you get a very clear view of Hongkong. At night, when the lights are everywhere, this view looks like a postcard. The first picture was taken earlier where it was still a bit foggy.
