The Parliament House's Big Ben, London Eye & River Thames, ENGLAND

Hello Friends,  I'm back!  Here are some of the photos I have taken from the famous places in London.  First off, the Parliament House's Big Ben, one cannot jet set England without giving this famous place a visit, everyone is just dreaming about seeing this place in real picture when they come across to these sceneries in books, magazines or other literatures... and even back to their history class in school.  I'll tell you, I got goosebumps when I saw this structure, never thought in school that one day this will come close to my eyes.

Dear Friends,

See you all, and thanks for your frequent visit.

Universities

Whenever we travel abroad, it is an added attraction to come across famous universities of ones countries. 

So, make it a point to photograph some of them when you see one, it may not be in your itinerary, but it could be a good record of your journey.  Like these ones!

The University of Sydney

Istanbul University



Happy Halloween!!!

Fridge Magnet



I never thought that fridge magnets are going to be so cool until some friends requested a few from some of my travels abroad. 

I am not so much into collecting fridge magnets... yes, I buy some for friends as souvenir and give them all away without leaving some for me.  Luckily, I able to save some though!  But next time, I will collect the coollest stuffs I can find around the world for myself.  Who knows?  I might blog a story out of each in the future, like a photo, everything else has its own story to tell.



Museum of Islamic Art - Qatar

                                                            

A big multi-level state-of-the-art museum in the heart of Doha, Qatar.  Well secured and heavy guarded facility that makes it more one-of-a-kind.  Once a venue of Doha's first digital red carpet, a star studded Doha Tribeca Film Festival including famous Film Directors, Bollywood and Hollywood stars like Robert de Niro who co-founded the one from New York... and still looking forward for more events to come. 

Make sure your stomach is full and in rubber shoes to be ready for a stroll.  Ooops! Don't forget your cameras!

Eid Mubarak 2010 !!!

In the celebration of Eid Al Fitr,  EID MUBARAK to all!
