Those days, we never hear other towers in other parts of the world. We didn;t hear of Petronas Twin Tower, Tokyo Sky Tree, Burj Dubai or Pudong Towers yet. The world today has too many tiangs, towers and tallest buildings to kiss the skies. Do we really need them so high when most of them do not get fullest tenancy occupants. <br /><br />Now the design of Eifel Tower looks dated although it has longer history.Twilight Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574109866770324683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23963594.post-4975543100687671822016-03-03T11:39:36.023+08:002016-03-03T11:39:36.023+08:00I am also like you.

I believe the written facts but not the pretty photos.<br /><br />Just like the recent trip to Borobudur, I refused to join the private tours to watch the heavenly sunrise! The only private hotel there monopoly the tour with hefty price and stay at their hotel to be able to watch sunrise. Many people were disappointed that many mornings were cloudy and could not see the anticipated beautiful sunrise. They wasted their money to see the dark clouds instead!Twilight Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574109866770324683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23963594.post-82119421662150664392016-03-03T11:04:58.696+08:002016-03-03T11:04:58.696+08:00Hey, I was puzzled by this quote of beaches in Ban...Hey, I was puzzled by this quote of beaches in Bangkok. As far as I could remember they never had any good beaches unless we traveled out 1 or 2 hours to places like Hua Hin, Pattaya or Koh Samet. Those beaches around Bangkok are so dirty with murky waters from their many canals and some places around Samutprakan have become salt mines since hundred years ago.<br /><br />Shame on me, I have never visited Hua Hin or Pattaya.Twilight Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574109866770324683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23963594.post-8394124041426833742016-03-03T10:59:02.108+08:002016-03-03T10:59:02.108+08:00I agree with you Princess!

I would sit down at the airport lounge or cafes on the streets and watch the many foreigners walking by. They smiled, laughed, screamed or walked quietly on their own. I told myself that the whole world of illusions were playing right in front of my eyes. Everyone of us have problems and even sickness that we do not share or show them. Nothing is real. What we see daily is just illusions where nothing is permanent in this life.Twilight Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574109866770324683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23963594.post-19966015741212848902016-03-03T10:55:34.674+08:002016-03-03T10:55:34.674+08:00This word is so precise!

I am not kidding lah as it is very relaxing with nice food and places to stroll besides spending hours at their exotic beaches! I have added this place Santorini Island in my bucket list since many years ago. Another good choice would be Barcelona in Spain which our Lucky Thambee has visited. So between Barcelona and Santorini Island, I would prefer Greece as I love to eat Greek food very much. Their ancient histories of those Greek Gods and Goddesses are also interesting.<br /><br />Well, this place ranks the top 5 in popularity for Summer holidays in Europe, so the huge crowd is expected annually. Now with the plunging economy and currency in Greece, more people are flocking there to take advantage. However, we must never hope to change our currencies there or even withdraw from their banks at the moment as everything seems chaotic.Twilight Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574109866770324683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23963594.post-57787928420275032602016-03-03T10:46:33.655+08:002016-03-03T10:46:33.655+08:00Photo D - The best and most popular beaches in Tha...Photo D - The best and most popular beaches in Thailand are all around the Phuket Island such as Phi Phi Islands, James Bond Island, Similan Islands, Coral Island, Racha Island, Phang Nga Bay, Koh Yao Island and Krabi. I think I have only been to 2 -3 islands as they looked almost the same to me. Usually the crowded places like your photo are at the beaches or bay areas only as many older tourists are not game to take speed boats that travel at hair raising speeds over choppy waters to the remote islands for scuba diving or water snorkeling activities. So they would sun tan by the beach umbrellas and sip coconut water. So everyone has to fight for space to take photos. That place in your photo looks like Phi Phi Island. <br /><br />There are still many unknown and unspoilt private beaches and islands around Thailand which have started getting global attention. They just need to build huts, cafes and jetty before advertising on Thai websites to attract the locals who would scramble to visit there for a dive before posting them on Facebook. Within months, the new place would be popular when their photos of exotic beaches went viral.<br /><br />Twilight Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574109866770324683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23963594.post-61488797773967762962016-03-02T18:01:46.996+08:002016-03-02T18:01:46.996+08:00Photo C - I have never been to Paris and not even ...Photo C - I have never been to Paris and not even seen the real Eifel Towel with my own eyes.

Just like the ancient ruins of Borobudur, I thought it was a serene and peaceful holy place but I was so wrong when I saw the hundreds of humanoids crawling like ants around the Mandala. Seeing is believing lah!<br /><br />I wonder how they could clear the whole place around this Eifel tower whenever they made many movie films at this location. It would be costly to do so besides getting permits and hire guards to cordon off the spot. To every tourist, this Eifel Tower is the perfect scenery backdrop for their love and marriage remembrance!Twilight Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574109866770324683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23963594.post-32240939521613223692016-03-02T17:56:24.923+08:002016-03-02T17:56:24.923+08:00Photo B - I didn;t know that this Kolkata Howrah b...Photo B - I didn;t know that this Kolkata Howrah bridge is so famous to be mentioned. Perhaps it was being photographed to show the drastic difference in actual situations. I wondered why the photographers captured the best shots to lure the tourists?? I would scream if I had gone to the bridge to see so many people all over swimming, bathing and washing their clothes. I might find SK Thambee jumping down into the river with his slumdog friends too. Muahahahaha<br /><br />Now I start to think of the famous bridges that I have seen like Penang Bridge, Golden Gate in San Francisco, NYC's Brooklyn Bridge and London Bridge. There is no one running across or having a gala time picnics on them. That's due to the strict police watchdogs patrolling the place with added surveillance CTV cameras to prevent suicides. That means the police and authorities at the Koolkata Howrah Bridge are least bothered and anyone is free to sleep, rot or even jump down to commit suicide!Twilight Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574109866770324683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23963594.post-16620770353527336402016-03-02T17:47:36.048+08:002016-03-02T17:47:36.048+08:00Photo A: I was shocked to see the nice empty Great...Photo A: I was shocked to see the nice empty Great Wall and when the clicked photo showed the crowded tourists walking on the Great Wall, Anay wanted to pengsan on the spot.<br /><br />I went to China back in the year 2002 and walked on this less crowded Great Wall. I could guess that it was spring time from their dressings and fresh green colours of the trees & plants along this Great Wall. This is the best time for the tourists and local folks to visit all the big cities in China when the weather is pleasing with coolest temperature.<br /><br />My tour guide took us to the favourite spot to climb onto the Great Wall in Beijing. He told us there was another very crowded one which I could not remember its name. Anyways, I had seen many parts of Great Walls that spanned across many cities, mountains and remote villages in China. They have different walls, bricks and stones being used to build them. The views from above these Great Walls are different and the best time to view would be at the late Autumn when all the trees and plants would be golden yellow, red and brown like a heavenly picture! I had seen these walls from Beijing passing Chengde until Tianjin. The other parts of this 21,000km wall was seen in Shaanxi when I visited Xian. They looked a bit different in their own majestic colours.<br /><br />This Great Wall was built some 2,300 years ago and I would still feel so proud to be a Chinese which built this wall long before the Qin Dynasty. I guess many people are not aware that many walls were built by different warlords as their forts long before the Qin Dynasty but it was during the reign of Emperor Huang Ti who joined the walls together when he also united the China. It was during the Han Dynasty when it was extended to the West through Yumen pass. Finally, one Emperor during the Ming Dynasty rebuilt these broken walls. I heard that 1/3 of these long walls have been lost without trace as many looters removed the bricks and stones to build their own homes! When you talk China, Anay always gets excited to show off la. Better share what I remember here as I won't bring them to my graves.Twilight Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574109866770324683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23963594.post-70320878746891912112016-03-02T17:27:53.218+08:002016-03-02T17:27:53.218+08:00I love your blog postings always like this one.

I went to Paris last year, but didn't get the chances to visit Eiffel Tower, which is too bad my friend only allow me to visit a place there're the Notre Dame Cathedral and the Eiffel Tower, both are my favorite, so in the end we chose the church. Too bad, due to lack of time we can't two places.<br /><br />Indeed the Eiffel Tower is very attractive like you can't stay your eyes away from it. Even though Paris is famous of pickpocket but still many people wish to go there, mostly I guess the Eiffel is part of the reason too that makes people wanted to go there so badly.煒霖https://www.blogger.com/profile/07660832107639494041noreply@blogger.com
