The moving columns from Jerash, Jordan 會移動的古建築

Jordanian journey at Jerash, one of the oldest Roman Archaeological sites. Today I'm going to show you some of the other structures, including one that moves. 上次開始約旦之旅到傑拉什，今次繼續行程會分享遺址其他建築物，包括一座會移動的。 The South Theatre was built around 90 - 92 AD and sits 3000 people.

Jordan Ruins Jerash 約旦遺址傑拉什

Jordan is one of my three most memorable holidays (the others being the northern lights in Finland and the Machu Picchu in Peru).

How to kill nine hours stopover in Singapore 在新加坡過境

Its been many many years since I've been to Singapore, a place where I often used to go when I was working in Hong Kong. A place where I made many good friends, a place which does the best Hainanese chicken rice I've had, and a place where we once sent a parcel full of...
