我们都有自己要追求的人生，自己要编织的梦想，我们都有能力实现愿望，只要我们持续相信。 We all have our own life to pursue, our own kind of dream to be weaving, and we all have the power to make wishes come true, as long as we keep believing.

Considering the fact there are now even official sites and articles that promote this method, I shall make this perfectly clear: there is absolutely no long term benefit to watering any orchid with ice or ice cubes. “Ice Orchids” are simply ordinary Phalaenopsis orchids, a...

Nigeria’s Cost & Energy-Efficient Floating Schools (by NLÉ) The Makoko Floating School is an ambitious project that is currently under construction in the water community of Makoko in Lagos, Nigeria by NLÉ, a collaborative agency whose mission is to provide architectural change for developing cities. The project seeks to create floating buildings that are designed to serve as educational classrooms for neighborhood children. The three-story architectural structure, built as a triangular prism, is intended to float on water with a base made of 256 plastic drums. The floating construct is built with locally sourced wood, electrically powered with solar panels, and designed to house about 100 students. While this first generation of floating buildings is being designated solely as educational center, the project is opening a new chapter in architectural design that can be applied to a variety of facilities for poor communities like Makoko to urbanize efficiently. Because of the project’s green initiatives, each building is more affordable and cost-effective. Additionally, they accommodate for the climate changes that are resulting in the rise of sea levels.

Harsh contrast - one day was all green with endless fertil farmland and naughty kids from villages nearby singing & dancing while we were packing up, the next day, before you even got to think about it, was filled with absolute dryness, boundless deserted dull yellow, streching far and disappering into mountains which seemed to be even dryer and sandy and dusty and lifeless...  life on the road, it is...

Happy bicyclists & motorcyclists! Chances are, if you are pedaling through Kyrgyzstan, anywhere you go, however remote it may seem, as long as you stay on the road long enough, you will be very likely to run into other travellers on two wheels - be it bicycle or motorbike. And it's amazingly surprising how easy it is to develop a feeling that all cyclists are just like from one big family! & I bet these two fellows must have had an awesome journey through Kyrgyzstan as well!
