🥇 Explore the world with me #1 - Vrsac Fortress by @sniki003
The first location I will write about is in the country where I live in Serbia. Although we often like to look into someone else's backyard, we forget how beautiful our country is, rich in history and surrounded by clean, green and diverse nature. My final destination on this trip was Timisoara, but I mostly moved through breathtaking landscapes, through endless fields, vineyards and peaceful towns. It was on this trip that I came across Vršac. And when you find yourself in that city, it is almost impossible not to look at the top of the hill where the Vršac Fortress proudly stands.

🥈 Olhão - Historic City Center / Riding Portugal by @onyfest
We woke up that morning with a simple idea in our heads. Let's go for a walk, without GPS, without signal. We'll get lost, but with that kind of good, almost poetic loss, of someone who needs to disconnect from the world for a while and go in search of something different, even without knowing exactly what. That's how Olhão entered our plans. I'd heard of the city, knew it was nearby, by the sea, smelling of fish and salt, but I'd never been able to see it with real eyes. And that day, the only thing I wanted was this: to see, observe, absorb.

🥉 Ambition To Become a King - Dhammayangyi Temple by @aswita
It's often ask why the city of Old Bagan in Burma have so many pagodas. It's a strange thing, but it become understandable when you learn that there's a reason. In ancient times, it was a mandatory requirement for a king to demonstrate his power and legitimacy.
Just like in any government, massive construction projects represent a distinct achievement for a ruler. The same was true for the kings of Burma in the past.
