My friend, Eric, knew that I wanted to know more about American culture when I was studying in the States as an exchange student. As a result, he invited me to stay in his house in New Hampshire for a week when the school year was all over. The house was really neat. It was built by the side of a lake, together with 30 other houses.
These two motorbikes were found in one of the corners in Roma (Rome). The wall behind them was a bit worn out, giving a special feel of the picture.
To make a wish, you have to turn around backing the fountain. Take out a coin from your wallet and hold it in your hand tightly. Repeat your wish in your lips and throw the coin backward into the fountain. One day, you will find your wish come true.
St. Pietro -- St. Peter's Cathedral. The picture shows one of the grand halls of the cathedral.
Ponte Vecchio in Firenze. Ponte Vecchio is the Italian words for Old Bridge. Firenze is actually the well-known town Florence.
A Jewish synagouge in the Old City of Jerusalem.
This picture was taken from a church on a mountain across from the old city of Jerusalem.
The Russia Metro is one of the oldest Metro in the world. A long time ago, the tunnels were built for military purposes indeed. Russians would hide themselves underground whenever there were bomb attacks. That is why the old stations are so deep down in the ground and the tunnels are so long.
Apart from the long tunnels, the Russia Metro is also well-known for its mosaic decoration in its stations, especially those in the circular route. They are like a huge underground castle. Just buy a token and you can visit all the rooms in this grand castle.
A very famous cathedral in St. Petersburg. If you go to the top of it, you can have a bird-eye's view of the whole city, as well as the beautiful river.
The golden door inside a famous church in St. Petersburg, Russia.
This is what you will see when you go inside the cathedral. Isn't it gorgeous? The drawing on the dome shows Jesus and his disciples.
A 2-minute walk up the staircase will bring you to the top of a famous tower in Prague. From there, you can have a very good look of the city and its vicinity. Yet, if you look down from the Tower, the sight may even be more rewarding.
The beautiful house in the picture is a bar. It is located in a small town in Budapest.
It was ten o'clock at night. Having worked for a long day, most people had gone home and were enjoying their family time. But yet, in another corner of the city, three dolphins were still having a hard time, heading to their home. They jumped out of the water and dived back in. They jumped out again, trying to flee the city before dawn.
Before the Central Plaza was built, the Bank of China Tower was certainly the landmark building of Hong Kong. The 367-meter giant overlooks the the Victoria Harbor and the Peninsula. On a clear night, it can be seen from as far as the New Territories. Now, it is sharing the limelight with the Central Plaza. Together with the new extension of the Convention and Exhibition Center, they form a beautiful skyline at night.
