    Kathmandu | Malu Bertanya Sesat Jalan

    © 2012 Team Langtang Nepal Photography Trip Peribahasa Melayu ada mengatakan “Malu Bertana Sesat Jalan” dan dengan mengingati kata-kata itu maka kami pun tanyalah anggota polis Nepal yang berbaju biru tu tentang hala tujuan kami. Dipendekkan cerita, kami sebenarnya nak cari pejabat Pelancongan Nepal (Nepal Tourism Board) yang menguruskan tentang TIMS (Trekkers’ Information Management System) kad untuk kami trekking ke Langtang. Mulanya tengok Map dalam buku Lonely Planet tu nampak macam dekat jer dari hotel penginapan kami di Thamel Kathmandu ni tapi cari punya cari tak jumpa. Siap pakai GPRS Map iPhone pun tak boleh nak locate pejabat tu, so untuk mengelakkan sesat lebih jauh lagi, kami tanya anggota polis tu…

    Travel and Photography | Chora Church | Kariye Muzesi

    © 2012 Wazari Wazir | Chora Church | Kariye Muzesi Istanbul has more than its fair share of Byzantine monuments, but few are as drop-dead gorgeous as the Chora Church. The fact that it’s hidden away in the little-visited Western Districts of the city means that many visitors overlook it. The church was originally known as the Church of the Holy Saviour Outside the Walls, but what you see today is not the first church-outside-the-walls on this site. This one was built in the late 11th century, and underwent repairs, restructuring and conversion to a mosque in the succeeding centuries. Virtually all of the interior decoration dates from 1312 and…

    Travel Photography | Once Upon a Time at Eminönü | Istanbul Turkey

    © 2012 Wazari Wazir | Once Upon a Time at Eminonu | Istanbul Eminönü is a former district of Istanbul in Turkey, now a neighbourhood of Fatih district. This is the heart of the walled city of Constantine, the focus of a history of incredible richness. Eminönü covers roughly the area on which the ancient Byzantium was built. The Galata Bridge crosses the Golden Horn into Eminönü and the mouth of the Bosphorus opens into the Marmara Sea. Up on the hill stands Topkapı Palace, the Blue Mosque (Sultanahmet Camii) and Hagia Sophia (Aya Sofya). Thus Eminönü is the main tourist destination in Istanbul. It was a part of the…
