Workers’ Assembly Halls (Argentina) (T)
J_neveryes Canada - 17-Mar-25
On a Wednesday morning (March 2025), I observed that the CGT building was open. I asked a man at the reception desk if my partner and I can take a look at the lobby. After taking a few photos and as we were about to leave, the man at the reception asked it we would like to see the "salas" and directed another staff person - who spoke no English - to take us around.
The voluntold guide then took us up a flight of stairs to Salon Felipe Vallesse, which is a medium sized auditorium

Less visited sites of a lesser known ancient civilization, Letoon and Xanthos are more intriguing than they appear at a first glance. For those visiting the Turquoise Coast of Turkiye, Letoon and Xanthos combine to make a worthwhile day trip.
Letoon
I based myself in Fethiye, which is a small city with good amenities. From its bus station, I easily found a minibus to Kumluova village and let the driver know that I wished to visit Letoon. From where he dropped me off, it was an easy 900 metres walk to the ancient sanctuary. Letoon appeared to me to be well-cared for and had a modern administrative and ticket office on-site. I was the sole visitor for most of my visit.

Considering the fame and rave reviews of Petra, this review will focus on the lesser known aspects of visiting this magnificent ancient city, rather than convincing the reader to visit it.
Alternative Entrance via Little Petra
Although back entrance/trail to Petra has existed for a while now, it has only been very recently that it has become more conveniently accessible. If you are visiting Petra for two or more days, I strongly recommend using the back trail on one of those days.

"One to two hours, my ass!" I grumbled about the young Parks Canada ranger who had told me that Thechàl Dhâl (Sheep Mountain) Route was just an hour or two additional hike from the end of the Sheep Creek Trail. I huffed and puffed as I had to stop every 20 steps or so up the mountain in order to catch my breath. "I better see some freakin' Dall sheep on this mountain," I angrily muttered to myself as I slowly made myself upward.

Read OnOld Town of Lijiang
J_neveryes Canada - 29-Feb-24
Memories are fickle beasts. When I look at my photos from my 2019 trip to Lijiang, I see that it was a beautiful city with intriguing narrow water channels and narrower streets. However, what I remember - at least on an emotional level - is that Lijiang was an old town that once had a soul, but it is now a fiction, a mere pretty setting for a sanitized version of Chinese history. Lijiang is not a city; it is a souvenir shop.
There are other cities in the world that long ago pushed [...]
