The Hwaseong Fortress is the most famous historic site in South Korea and the centre of Suwon, a city with a population of around a million, is dominated by the impressive looking fortress. The 22nd monarch of the Joseon Dynasty, King Jeongjo, ordered the construction of the complex in 1794. It is like a large open air museum and measures 130 hectares, its walls extending for five kilometres. Indeed, the unique value of the fortress has been recognized by UNESCO, who have designated it as a World Heritage Site. A walk through the fortress could take several hours but it is well worth making the time to enjoy the splendor of the buildings. The majestic towers of Hwaseong Fortress continue to rise proudly into the sky above Suwon as a noble landmark of the city and also the Joseon Dynasty.

Mekong – The Three Ancient Kingdoms of Cambodia, Thailand & Vietnam

Even though the Mekong originates in the Tibetan Highlands and flows through China, its true source lies within South East Asia, in Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam, fascinating countries whose inhabitants can look back proudly on both a colorful and glorious past. Around 35 kilometres from the Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh, the jungle temple of Ta Prohm is a unique combination of both nature and culture. Colossal feigen, banyan and kapok trees cover the splendid temple site and their huge roots intermingle with the ruins and thus give the sanctuary a magical atmosphere. Most of the country’s traditional dances date back to the Angkor Period. The dancers of the classical and extremely complex Apsara dance once enjoyed great respect and were given the status of divine beings and were considered to be mediators between Heaven and Earth. For many centuries, the Tonle Sap, the largest fresh water lake in South East Asia, was a vital source of water for around 10 percent of Cambodia’s population. It is also of great importance for wildlife. Innumerable villages and houseboats fill the Tonle Sap with life. Furthermore, the extraordinary biodiversity of the indigenous bird population is truly remarkable. The lake, and particularly the Prek Toal Bird Sanctuary, are a true paradise for ornithologists. Over 400 Buddhist temples are to be found in Bangkok, Thailand. One of the most important is the magnificently designed Wat Phra Kaew that, in addition to many other valuable …

The Pyramids of Giza are undoubtedly one of the most impressive and famous historic sites of ancient Egypt, ‘The Land of the Pharaohs’, a land whose treasures are still, more than 4000 years after their construction, remarkable. A total of 2.3 million stone blocks form the largest pyramid, the Cheops, that was built around 2560 BC on an elevated plateau, on the edge of the western desert. The huge contours of the pyramids of Giza still dominate Cairo’s surrounding landscape. Their dimensions symbolize timeless power and in red shining colors, the sky announces the fall of dusk and highlights the dramatic, magical beauty of these monuments. The Step Pyramid of King Djoser rises up almost 70 meters above the ground and it was the world’s first monumental stone building. Thus, the Step Pyramid is often referred to as the ‘Mother of All Pyramids’. A narrow maze-like corridor leads from the outside world into the dark depths of the pyramid and the Pharaoh’s tomb. The flowering period of Thebes began in the Middle Empire when it became the new capital and lasted up until around the 14th century BC when Memphis regained its importance and influence. Today, Thebes is closely connected with this town of death along the western shore of the Nile and the legendary’Valley of the Kings’. In 1922, the discovery of the royal tomb of Tutankhamen by British archaeologist, Howard Carter, was particularly important. After five years of excavation, the scientists were successful and the …

Jon Anderson-Close To The Edge(Live 2009)

Jon Anderson (Yes): Tribute to Freedom, Live in Bratislava, Slovakia, Castle Devin, August 15th 2009 This is the last date of the last summer’s “Have Guitar Will Travel” European mini-tour that Jon Anderson gave after he recovered from his serious illness and after his bandmates from Yes started touring without him. This gig was very special because rather than a one man show, this was a full scale performance with an ensemble of brilliant Slovak musicians. The venue was spectacular, too – the concert took place in the courtyard of the castle Devin, a beautiful historical castle just outside Bratislava with a great historical significance for the Slovak people. The performance was very moving, baeutiful and many people in the audience were literally in tears, including myself. Unfortunately, the TV station that filmed it decided to air only a small portion of the songs that were performed and most of the material will remain only in our memories. Even so, the selection of songs is still very good – there’s one new Jon song, one originally by Jon & Vangelis and, most surprisingly, a Yes song, Close to the Edge almost in its entirety in a very original, but still very powerful arrangement. The performance showcases that Jon has pretty much fully recovered now and is ready to please his fans, if outside Yes for the time being, and it also displays the skills of these great musicians from Slovakia. Lineup: Jon Anderson: vocals, acoustic guitar, chinese strummer Peter …
