Sometimes the journey can be as entertaining as the destination. I don't think many people would rank hanging out in an airport very high on their list of favorite things to do. But at some airports try to make the experience more fun, like Taipei's Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan. In this airport, there are themed waiting lounges, like the history of cinema or mail service to an homage to literature, sports and music. And then there's this. The spectacular Hello Kitty world time zone clock. And don't worry, there's also a Hello Kitty waiting lounge too! Let's just say if you have a layover in Taipei, you will be entertained!

Isle Elenka, Lake Baikal

I made the trip to Baikal in winter. It’s the most treacherous season on the lake, but also the most beautiful. When it freezes, Baikal doesn’t turn white. Instead it turns a deep, glassy blue, streaked with cracks and fissures like inclusions in a gemstone.

This photo were taken on May 14, 2015. The skyline by night is just amazing. The colors of the Singapore skyline changing constantly and are always nice to look at. I really like it.

This was taken at Fushimi Inari Taisha, Japan. I loved being able to walk through all the Torri gates. There was long stretches of these gates that you could walk through at this temple. The markings along each gate represent the person or organization that paid to have that particular gate erected. It is a magical place and something I would recommend to anyone heading to Japan to see.

This one is from my archive. I visited Kobe back in May 2009 and it was my first and (regrettably) only trip to Japan. Also one of my first experiments with HDR - it combines three different expositions and this is also why some of the people in the picture appear like ghosts.

I had an enjoyable experience on a trip to the peaceful countryside of the ethnic Kơ Tu in Khe Tre Town, Nam Dong District, Thua Thien Hue Province, Vietnam. This is a mountainous district. In the past, people lived here very little and life was very difficult, but now it has improved a lot. Here, there are natural resources and unique cultural values. I have been experiencing roads bent through each of the ravines.

Trainers and race committees are attracting raging horse before joining the traditional Gayo horse race held in the Central Aceh district, Aceh province, Indonesia. Traditional horse racing in the Gayo highlands, Aceh, has become one of the cultures in Asia that has existed since ancient times and is still preserved until now. The uniqueness of this horse race is played by little jockeys who are aged 10 to 15 years, and also this horse race is still very traditional without using a saddle.

If you're really looking for something authentic in Taipei, try the street food. It is not difficult to find a place to eat: the night markets are full of exotic dishes and products. In the traditional streets of Taipei, we find the steaming noodle stalls, nowadays it is considered one of the best dishes are served at street level, where we see from the youngest children to adults savor these food delights.

I was Crossing this bridge and saw children sitting, learning their alphabets. I felt curious and enquired about it and came to know of a street school here in Karachi. The child labor in Pakistan is increasing and many children can't afford to go to schools. A group of students are trying to bring the school to the children.
