Pham Ngu Lao Street, Saigon
Saigon is a pretty big city. Modern buildings are scattered almost everywhere. But they are not exactly what I wanted to see. As a tourist, I expected to see historical buildings, try local foods, and buy some souvenirs, etc. Thanks to Pham Ngu Lao St for its location as …

There are two major drawbacks to Biltmore that I …

Beijing Forbidden City
The formal name of this place is the Palace Museum. It is located to the north of Tian-an-men square. Although it has several entrance gates, the best way for exploring this museum is from Tian-an-men gate (the main entrance) at the south point. To do this, you can use …

Gonzalez-Alvarez House, St. Augustine, Florida
Visiting historic houses in St. Augustine is always my favorite activity when I journey to my “second home.” I love photographing and the area, especially since many St. Augustine structures were built in the 1700s and 1800s, most in a unique Spanish style; some of my best and most …

Llandudno Pier, Llandudno, Wales
The seaside resort of Llandudno on the north coast of Wales is well known (and in my opinion deservedly so) for its delightful, and slightly old-fashioned, holiday atmosphere, making it perfect for families. One of the things that contribute greatly to this feel is the town’s traditional Victorian pier, …
