    Skywalk (cont’d)

    2022年7月27日, マレーシア ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    There were 3-4 of these large structures which gave you an extra dimension to viewing the wildlife.
    The jungle is always thriving and gives you the perception of perpetual growth.
    With the humidity at 90% there is moisture everywhere and it sometimes rains without clouds which happened on this trip.
    The photo of the birds nest ferns gives you an idea of how opportunist some plants are in being able to self sustain in the most unlikely of places.    もっと詳しく

    Forest Skywalk

    2022年7月27日, マレーシア ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    This has been a relatively recent initiative by the Malaysian government to expand the tourist experience.
    This park is very busy with lots of different types of bird life however we visited in the middle of the day which even with the forest canopy meant that there were few birds about.
    This sad state of affairs prompted Chris to take off the next morning in search of more bird life and he was rewarded with a couple of great shots of two hornbills with beautiful beaks.
    Before taking to the skywalk there was a short walk to get to the structures.

    The structures have been made of steel which will stand the test of time as well blending in with the surrounding forest with lichen and vines clinging to the structures.
    Some of the birds nest ferns perched high on the branches of some trees have to be seen to be believed.t F fc

    At different times on the walk I believe that we were approx 30-40 metres In the air which gives you an idea of how high some of these structures were.    もっと詳しく

    Wildlife Resort

    2022年7月27日, マレーシア ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    We stopped at a ecotourism resort that provided a lovely lunch before travelling to the skywalk.
    There were many private chalets dotted around the complex and it seems that ecotourism is a very popular and appealing holiday option which is great because the tourist dollars are used to fund the ongoing management of the wildlife.
    It was very pleasant eating on the deck covered in shade even though Jen ordered fish and chips and was disappointed.    もっと詳しく

    Sun Bear Conservation Park

    2022年7月27日, マレーシア ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    Located in the same area is the Sun Bear rehabilitation facility.
    These bears are the smallest of all the bear species and are only found in this region of Malaysia 🇲🇾.
    Tragically this bear has been the target of poachers who kill the bears to sell some of their body parts to the Chinese traditional medicine markets especially the bears gall bladder.
    The bears we saw are playful and inquisitive and have very long claws for tree climbing to eat wild honey. They also have very, very long tongues to be able to access the honey.
    The other discerning feature of the bears and where they get their name from is a horseshoed shape splash of gold colour on their chest hence the name “Sun” bears.
    During the heat of the day they are reasonable sedate.
    The battle to save these bears has been the passion of a local Malaysian man who has dedicated his life to maintain safe breeding populations of these animals.    もっと詳しく

    Orangutans

    2022年7月27日, マレーシア ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

    The Orangutans have a varied diet of fruits and other edible plants they also will eat the external tubes of earthworm castings as this is high in essential minerals that the apes require to stay healthy.
    Virgin forest is such a magical space especially the noises that you hear of the myriad of insects that inhabit the forest.
    Even in hot climates like Malaysia and Borneo the forests are always cool and an essential reason why they must be preserved.
    Malaysia has a strong commitment to maintaining a diverse range of forest tranches to maintain healthy wild animal populations.    もっと詳しく

    Sabah & The Orangutans

    2022年7月27日, マレーシア ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    We arrived at Sabah and were transferred to a lovely hotel only a short drive from the Orangutan 🦧 wildlife park.
    The park is 47 square kilometers in size and is the destination for most of the orphaned or rescue animals after they have been rehabilitated.
    The rescue animals go through 5 critical rehab stages before they are re-released in to the wild.
    Each stage prepares them to become more independent and to be able to be strong enough to climb and forage for themselves.
    The facility was very professionally run by a mixture of volunteers and veterinary staff who work with rescue or orphaned orangutans 🦧.
    It is an offense in Malaysia to keep wild animals as pets namely Orangutans and Sun Bears who previous to this decree were able to be kept as house pets.
    It is also worth noting that the COViD virus 🦠 has had a massive impact on the tourist industry here as most of the operating costs of these places are offset by tourist dollars.
    Most of the shots of the Orangutans were taken at a feeding platform at stage 5 of the rehabilitation stage.    もっと詳しく

    Flying to Sabah

    2022年7月26日, マレーシア ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Whilst I only took one photo of us boarding the plane with Leisa and her supplies. The plane trip was significant for another reason…it was the only time I have ever seen two people go into an airplane toilet together.
    This created a strange level of excitement from the rest of the passengers. Maybe someone had ambitions for the mile high club!
    The trip was itself uneventful otherwise.    もっと詳しく

    KL Goodbye

    2022年7月26日, マレーシア ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    After visiting the market we made our way back to the bus en route to the airport.
    Because Islam is the main religion in Malaysia there are lots of mosques 🕌 and they are characterized mostly by domes and or spires.
    They are found in most areas of KL. Another interesting aspect of KL is the presence of some really old run down places very close to the middle of the city.
    When you consider the price of real estate in most central city areas these old run down houses are probably worth a small fortune.
    Our tour guide shared a story of a place closer to the centre of KL which was similarly rundown and whose owner had been offered an enormous sum of money to sell up and had politely refused because it had been the family home for many generations.
    It was also the only time that I managed to get a shot of the Petronas Towers building.
    Malaysia is obviously a progressive SE Asian country judged by the number of skyscrapers in and around the CBD yet it still has a third world economy in many respects especially when you consider the base wage and earnings potential.    もっと詳しく

    Market

    2022年7月26日, マレーシア ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    Apparently KL has a plethora of markets around the city and we visited one that was indeed in the heart of the city.
    Our guide shared that we should prepare ourselves for the different ways of food hygiene in this part of the world. It didn’t take long for that to become apparent especially in relation to the flies and lack of refrigeration.
    We were exposed to all sorts of different Malaysian foods, fruits and vegetables and had the opportunity to taste some over a cup of tea as well as experiencing some Malaysian desserts.
    The Malaysian people who are predominantly Muslim seem very friendly and hospitable and happy especially when you consider the average wage and working conditions.
    One of the most confronting aspects of the tour through the market was the amount of plastic bags they use and seem to have no concept of using recyclable carry bags.
    Probably my favourite exotic fruit is the rambutan which is like a large lychee with a more distinct taste.
    Our guide took us to a local cafe where we experienced locally made roti bread which was delicious.    もっと詳しく

    Old Dutch Church

    2022年7月25日, マレーシア ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    This was the most impressive part of the trip to Melaka. It was an old Dutch Church that once held the grave of St Francis Xavier.
    I believe the building is dated around the 1600 and now is but a shell however the site is still very impressive especially the height of the building.
    Another significant feature is the burial stones which have been carved out of rock and are extremely heavy and line the inside of the church commemorating individuals who once lived in the area.
    The body of Xavier had to be exhumed and returned to another burial site in Goa so the empty grave site is now used as a place where people donate money and make a wish.
    Most of the building has been built with old sea bed rocks which are like honeycomb rocks that you find in Oz.
    It is genuinely an historical artefact which has been beautifully preserved which is less obvious in the other sectors of the tours we took.    もっと詳しく

    Old Dutch Sector (cont’d)

    2022年7月25日, マレーシア ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

    The first picture in the series is my Malay desert all mixed up which was the last dish we ate at a Malay Chinese restaurant. It certainly doesn’t look appetizing in the photo but when the dish arrived we were told to stir all the ingredients together and of course it had some red beans in it.
    One of the ways that you can tell the influence of the Dutch is in how they constructed the houses because every culture it seems has a preference for an architectural style that is a part of how they build.
    According to the guide the Dutch used skinnier bricks whilst the English built with shorter fatter bricks. The Dutch also had a certain style of louvered window shutter which set them apart from the English homes they also had a different style of roof structure.    もっと詳しく

    Old Dutch Sector

    2022年7月25日, マレーシア ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

    This section of Melaka was initially discovered by the Dutch who colonized this area first. Melaka it seems was a city of conflict between the Dutch, the Portuguese and then the English.
    As a result there are a variety of different architectural styles that characterize the area.
    This might also be why Melaka is on the World Heritage City list.    もっと詳しく

    Mosque on Stilts

    2022年7月25日, マレーシア ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    We had the opportunity to visit a mosque that has been built out from the beach.
    Before we could enter the mosque it was appropriate for all of us to take off our shoes before entering the mosque as a mark of respect.
    Mosques around the world seem to lack any sort of religious icons and apparently also welcome others to worship which I find refreshing. The idea of the loose fitting robes is to allow people to be comfortable when kneeling and praying as well as to maintain modesty and dignity especially for the women.
    The males were then given sarongs and the women…robes as well as head scarfs.
    We walked around the mosque 🕌 and were unable to enter the main prayer chamber.    もっと詳しく

    Eco Park

    2022年7月24日, マレーシア ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    This eco park has been constructed within a pocket of original rainforest that still exists in the city of KL.
    Although we didn’t see them the space is home to about 5 monkey families. Walking into the rainforest made me realize just how amazing nature is because the sound of insects became really profound just as if you were walking in the jungle.
    There was also a peace gong nearby.    もっと詳しく

    KL Tower

    2022年7月24日, マレーシア ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    The KL tower is one of the tallest buildings in Kuala Lumpur and is situated in a preserved area of rain forest 🌳 right in the middle of the city.
    It rises some 356 metres into the air and at one stage dominated the skyline but today is dwarfed by other structures.
    KL is an interesting mix of old and modern architecture which is obvious as you walk around the city streets.    もっと詳しく

    Morning Walk

    2022年7月24日, マレーシア ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    We walked from the hotel and Chris volunteered to be the map guide which was great.
    We decided to walk to the KL tower and also experience the local eco walk which is close by.
    Staying at five star hotels is great fun and probably the best bit is the buffet breakfasts which are so yummy and beautifully presented. The game plan is to eat as much as you can so that there is no need for lunch and you can do more sightseeing.
    I also asked the concierge to track down some kombucha which he initially thought was me wanting to know about Cambodia 🇰🇭.
    Very funny 😄.    もっと詳しく

    Topographie des Terrors

    2019年12月22日, ドイツ ⋅ ☁️ 4 °C

    This was one of the more confronting tours as it was a museum dedicated to the horrors of the Gestapo and the increasingly fascist police state that existed from 1933-1945.
    The buildings that housed the Gestapo and SS headquarters were largely destroyed by Allied bombing during early 1945 and the ruins demolished after the war. The boundary between the American and Soviet zones of occupation in Berlin ran along the Prinz-Albrecht-Strasse, so the street soon became a fortified boundary, and the Berlin Wall ran along the south side of the street, renamed Niederkirchnerstrasse, from 1961 to 1989. The wall here was never demolished. Indeed, the section adjacent to the Topography of Terror site is the longest extant segment of the outer wall (the longer East Side Gallery section in Friedrichshain being actually part of the inner wall not visible from West Berlin).

    The first exhibitions of the site took place in 1987, as part of Berlin's 750th anniversary. The cellar of the Gestapo headquarters, where many political prisoners were tortured and executed, was found and excavated. The site was then turned into a memorial and museum, in the open air but protected from the elements by a canopy, detailing the history of repression under the Nazis. The excavation took place in cooperation with East German researchers, and a joint exhibition was shown both at the site and in East Germany in 1989.

    In 1992, two years after German reunification, a foundation was established to take care of the site, and the following year, it initiated an architectural competition to design a permanent museum. A design by architect Peter Zumthor was chosen. However, construction was stopped due to funding problems after the concrete core of the structure had been built. This stood on the site for nearly a decade until it was finally demolished in 2004 and a new building begun.    もっと詳しく

    Reishtag Dinner

    2019年12月21日, ドイツ ⋅ ⛅ 4 °C

    The term Reichstag, when used to connote a diet, dates back to the Holy Roman Empire. The building was built for the Diet of the German Empire, which was succeeded by the Reichstag of the Weimar Republic. The latter would become the Reichstag of Nazi Germany, which left the building (and ceased to act as a parliament) after the 1933 fire and never returned, using the Kroll Opera House instead; the term Reichstag has not been used by German parliaments since World War II. In today's usage, the word Reichstag (Imperial Diet Building) refers mainly to the building, while Bundestag (Federal Diet) refers to the institution.

    The ruined building was made safe against the elements and partially refurbished in the 1960s, but no attempt at full restoration was made until after German reunification on 3 October 1990, when it underwent a reconstruction led by architect Norman Foster.

    After its completion in 1999, it once again became the meeting place of the German parliament: the modern Bundestag.    もっと詳しく

    Plastination Display

    2019年12月21日, ドイツ ⋅ 🌙 5 °C

    Plastination is a technique or process used in anatomy to preserve bodies or body parts, first developed by Gunther von Hagens in 1977. The water and fat are replaced by certain plastics, yielding specimens that can be touched, do not smell or decay, and even retain most properties of the original sample.

    Four steps are used in the standard process of plastination: fixation, dehydration, forced impregnation in a vacuum, and hardening.[3] Water and lipid tissues are replaced by curable polymers, which include silicone, epoxy, and polyester-copolymer.
    The exhibition that I saw in Berlin was primarily focused on the human species with many insights around long term health issues that we as humans should be aware of and prepared to manage with better nutrition and exercise habits.    もっと詳しく

    The centrepiece of the exhibition is the office and working quarters of the former Minister of State Security – i.e. head of the Stasi – Erich Mielke. The museum is operated by the Antistalinistische Aktion Berlin-Normannenstraße (ASTAK), which was founded by civil rights activists in Berlin in 1990. It aims to foster the development of the museum as a "centre for the collection, preservation, documentation, rehabilitation and exhibition of evidence and research materials relating to East Germany".もっと詳しく

    Stasi Museum

    2019年12月21日, ドイツ ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C

    One has to see it to believe it but the level of intrusion into the lives of every citizen of the GDR is mind boggling.
    The Stasimuseum is located in House 1 on the former grounds of the headquarters of the GDR Ministry for State Security (MfS). The building was erected in 1960-61 as the offices of Erich Mielke, who served as Minister for State Security from 1957 until the end of the GDR.
    On 15 January 1990 demonstrators took over the Stasi headquarters.
    A week later, the Central Round Table, a committee made up of representatives of the SED dictatorship and civil rights groups, decided that a “memorial and research centre on GDR Stalinism” should be established in House 1. When nothing came of this declaration of intent, members of the Berlin citizens’ committee and other civil rights activists took action and began securing the historic site.
    In August they founded the association “Antistalinistische Aktion e.V.” (ASTAK). On 7 November 1990, it opened the Research Centre and Memorial at Normannenstrasse with an exhibition titled “Against the Sleep of Reason”. House 1, later named the Stasi Museum, has been open to the public ever since.
    The offices of Erich Mielke are preserved in their original condition and form the centrepiece of the historic site.
    Since 1990, ASTAK has shown different exhibitions, providing information about the State Security and how its activities affected the GDR population. The permanent exhibition “State Security in the SED Dictatorship,” which the association created jointly with the Stasi Records Agency, opened in House 1 in January 2015.    もっと詳しく

    World Clock

    2019年12月21日, ドイツ ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    The sixteen ton world clock was opened to the public on 30 September 1969, shortly before the twentieth anniversary of the German Democratic Republic, along with the Berlin TV Tower (Fernsehturm). The erection of the clock was part of a larger plan to expand and reorganize Alexanderplatz as a whole. At the end of the renovations, the public square was four times larger than it was at the end of the World War II.

    The clock has become since the 1970s the scene of protests, as well as a landmark which Berliners living near the area use to meet others.

    On 12 May 1983 the Bundestag deputies of The Greens, including Petra Kelly, Gert Bastian and three other deputies, unrolled a banner with the inscription "The Greens – swords to plowshares" before the world clock and were arrested.

    On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the German Democratic Republic on 7 October 1989, opposition political groups formed a demonstration which began at the clock and ended at the Palace of the Republic. The state responded by arresting over 1,200 of the protesters. Thirty-three days later, the Berlin Wall fell.    もっと詳しく

    Berlin TV Tower (cont’d)

    2019年12月21日, ドイツ ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    The tower allows people to observe the city of Berlin on a 360 degree basis and some of the photos depict the different angles of the city.
    Walking around Berlin really reminds me of how East Berlin would have looked under the GDR regime and some of the apartment blocks in a couple of the photos depict this.
    Interestingly, the city of Berlin has approximately 3.8 million citizens and yet gives the appearance of being vastly different in size to Melbourne.    もっと詳しく
