Due to a tight tour schedule, we were given an hour to see the museum in Jerusalem. In silence we begged for more time but we knew it wasn’t going to happen.
We were given this visitor brochure (back then in 2005).
The layout of the atrocities of men and the accounts of those who live to tell.

With the upcoming summer Olympic games and Singapore playing host to the Youth Olympics in 2010, I was just wondering have I ever taken any Olympic-related pictures anywhere?
Umm (running through album pages)…here it is!
The statue of Paavo Nurmi, standing outside the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, Finland.
Paavo Nurmi, one of Finland’s greatest long-distance runner, won 9 golds at the Olympics in the 1920s and set more than 20 world records. Wow!

This paper bag didn’t come empty.
Neither did this.
It’s easy for me to be carried away by these pastel Unikkos!

We extended our stay in Prague after our Trafalgar tour ended. And back then when it was hardly possible to research or book accommodation online, we went to the visitor’s center to help us find a place to stay.
This was the photocopied leaflet featuring the pension we picked.
Our room was either on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Can’t remember.
The few things I can remember: 2 big black dogs in the house, the lady who rented out the apartment also spoke German and further down on the path which led to the subway (hidden but to the right of this picture) , there were no street lamps…literally pitch-dark after 7pm. It was a great way to live among the locals.

It was just a short stopover (not part of the itinerary) for us to buy fruits* at the Cozmo supermarket in Amman, and my travel mates couldn’t believe that I found the time to pick up this sunflower. And neither did I! I remember it was a speedy grab. And I did buy fruits too!
* Our hotel served excellent food but just no fruits! But well that was 2 years ago…

I entered a small+crammed toy shop along Shinsekai in Osaka and dugged up this cute softie.
Paid 330 yen for a dusty old-and-forgotten pack of sheepy sponge. Such a shop I really like!

The ancient Roman aqueduct (about 25–13 BC) at Caesarea Maritima in Palestine, is a long aqueduct to channel water from the springs at the base of Mount Carmel, about 10 miles away from Caesarea.
In order to initiate water flow by the force of gravity, the arches and the gradient was meticulously measured.
No harm knowing some math for precision.
