Where the founding rulers of Hyderabad rest in peace, remains a quiet and peaceful park of mausoleums in the bustling city. Because international tourists are few and far between in Hyderabad, many of its historical landmarks remain a secret treasure to the locals.

Everybody in Germany/Austria probably knows the song "Kabinenparty" (Changing Room Party) by Skero and Joyze Muniz but what not so many people know is the fact that the video clip was shot at the public swimming pool Kongressbad, in Vienna. We went there to see how much of a Kabinenparty is really going on there.

Philippine Science Centrum: Science taught the fun way
written by halfawakehaiku on 2009-02-18 #places
On a whim, I decided to visit a favorite primary school destination when I was a kid, the Philippine Science Centrum. From it’s original location in Manila, the whole museum was moved to Marikina City which is regarded as the cleanest city & greenest in the country and home of the world’s largest pair of shoes.

Mustafa Centre - 24h shopping in Singapore
written by wil6ka on 2009-01-26 #places
Last Summer I was for two days in Singapore - and they surely have been intensive days. First day, work right after landing - no sleep that night, because we had to "scout" the clubs. Second day work - and in the night - well, what the heck. We discovered a 24 hour shopping Mall called Mustafa.

Spanish Wedding
written by wil6ka on 2008-12-15 #places
I haven't been to many weddings, yet. Still I have to say, that this is increasing lately, and that makes me worry;) One of the latest was an Andalucian wedding in Spain. Quite a bunch of people came from all over Spain and Europe to the tiny town of Tossa de Mar, which is perfecto for the romantic side of klife. The streets are narrow and as old as the eglisas.

Rimini - squeezy beach time
written by wil6ka on 2008-12-09 #places
There is a long history of German travelers going to Italy in the summer. It all started in the 50's and 60's. When the Teutonians first discovered, that you could actually do a vacation abroad instead of conquering new living space;)

The Last 2 of Tin Dredger In Malaysia
written by eastmoe on 2008-12-07 #places
This is my last year trip. I go to batu gajah to see last tin dredger in malaysia. Tin mining was extensively in the Kinta Valley of Perak some decades ago. Today it is a sunset industry and most tine mines have closed down. You can still find many mining pools, but this is the only dredge you see. It's an exhibition item near Chendrong, Batu Gajah.

Ghostship-Ride, El Viaje Grande
written by wil6ka on 2008-12-02 #places
I wanted to go from Germany to Algeria. Like always, things were getting complicated and you had to adjust smartly to the odds. The possibilities were taking a plane, a ship or do the walk instead of just of talking the talk. I fell in love with the idea to take a ferry from Spain to Algeria. Those are the most common option for most of the Algerians living abroad.

La Défense at night
written by wil6ka on 2008-11-25 #places
La Défense is one of the most known and prestigious sights in the french capital. But wait a minute, i heard that the massive and modern replication of the arc de triomphe in this business quartier does not belong to Paris!? Well that might be the Parisian interpretation.

Escolta Museum at Calvo Building
written by eazy360 on 2008-11-19 #places
Walking down turn-of-the-century Escolta was like a stroll though today's happening Bonifacio High Street or Eastwood City, where commerce and culture thrived as Manila embraced, willingly or otherwise, the 20th century. Elegantly dressed residents regularly visited this street to visit the numerous boutiques, shops and department stores that sold the latest clothes, cigars, jewelries and other fineries. Automobiles, horse-drawn carriages and Meralco tranvias (tramcars) shuttled them through this beautiful street. Indeed, it was "the" place to be seen.

Port of Nice
written by vicuna on 2008-10-21 #places
The port of Nice is one of my favorite place to shoot. It's a very inspiring place, not only because it's a wide open space in front of the sea, but also because there are always a lot of new big ships to see, prestigious old sailboats or impressing giant cruisers.

Piazza San Marco (Venezia)
written by wil6ka on 2008-09-10 #places
It is the center of the city, the city of water: Piazza San Marco in Venezia. I am not easily blown away, but Venezia has got the something that makes refrain and thinks: ' it is awesome to be here at the moment!`. Besides the whole water-thing this very spot is outstanding.

Novgorod Kremlin
written by wil6ka on 2008-08-12 #places
It all started in Novgorod. It is the oldest Russian city founded in 859 A.D., at a time were Lithuanian tribes ruled the Slavic territories. There was no Russian Kingdom and no superpower in sight. It is situated 190 km south of St.Petersburg and as the base of the Russian nation it was given the title “Veliky”, which means “the great”. And this is how you can separate Veliky Novgorod from the South-Siberian Nischnji Novgorod!!

Forbidden City (Beijing)
written by wil6ka on 2008-08-12 #places
I am not into being photographed. But there are some of these spots, where you want to be on the picture: Winning you first million with gambling in Vegas, taking your first spaceship-ride and standing in front of the forbidden city in Beijing. Especially with the massive Mao-Picture up front at the main gate.

Ortigas at Night (Pasig City)
written by halfawakehaiku on 2008-08-07 #places
Like other Business Districts, Ortigas center takes on a whole different form when the sun sets. Home to some of the country's biggest corporations and shopping malls, there's always something to do in this busy little side of the Metro. After shopping your little feet off during the day, a ton of options await the evening Lomographer. You can choose one of the various bars that line up Metrowalk or push a little further to reach the C5 area.

Dragons Backbone Rice Terraces (Longji)
written by wil6ka on 2008-08-07 #places
Because I can’t really find my Lonely Planet of China I have to recall how I have traveled, taking my diary and doing the most awkward thing: remembering! When I was in Guilin I ended up in a hostel and kind of got attached to a Frenchman. The fellow had contact to a Chinese tourist-lady and asked me, if I wanted to come on a trip to some legendary rice terraces.

Metro Tokyo/ Osaka
written by wil6ka on 2008-08-06 #places
Tokyo is a city of roughly 20 million inhabitants with all the suburbs included. Yet the city is not dying of car-pollution and noise-explosion, hence 80 percent of all traffic is done by public transport, which is generally breaking down to buses, JR (some sort of city train) and metro.

Vienna at Christmas Time
written by vicuna on 2008-07-14 #places
When I was first discovering Vienna 9 years ago it was around Christmas Time. I was very happy to stay there, of course, but coming from Nice, on the Cote d'Azur, where the winter temperature is nevre going under 10°, I was a little bit surprised of the cold and wet weather in Austria during this season.

Gracia (Barcelona)

The area of Gracia in Barcelona is really the one I prefer. Located north of the central "Plaça Catalunya" it's in the same time really central, and different from the rest of the city.

Olympia Stadium Berlin
written by wil6ka on 2008-05-09 #places
The Olympia stadium in Berlin is the most beautiful stadium in the world... in the eyes of all fans of the local football club Hertha BSC. And so is my opinion. It was built for the Olympic Games in 1936 and therefore it was built majestically to serve Hitler's delight in eternal propaganda for the German Reich.

Eternal Flame
written by wil6ka on 2008-05-09 #places
The biggest attraction on the Independence Square of Toshkent is in my view the eternal flame at just opposite to the Turkistan-palace at the right corner of the square. I don't really know about the west, but eternal flames had been a big hit and a necessity in most of the Eastern-European capitals.

Greenwich
written by vicuna on 2008-05-09 #places
Greenwich is well known for the international time meridian, but it's also a nice borough of London. Sure, the main attraction is the central green park of the city with the observatory in it and the famous line of the 0°0' meridian line. A little museum about the fantastic adventure of time setting and fixing the 0°0' at this exact place is very interesting too.

My lovely hometown, Kampung Sauk is a small village located in Kuala Kangsar, the state of Perak Darul Ridzuan. "Kampung" means village in Malaysian. By taking an express bus from our capital city, Kuala Lumpur to the town of Kuala Kangsar will spend you about 3 hours journey if it's not a peak season.

Kaunas Days Festival
written by jogintas on 2008-04-27 #places
Kaunas - is the second largest city in Lithuania, which was even the capital of Lithuania lots of years ago. Today this is a city, known for its basketball club "Žalgiris", basketball player Arvydas Sabonis and so on. So it is so natural, that the city with such history has got its own festival, which is called the "Kaunas' Days" festival (sometimes it is called only the "Day", not "Days").
