A1 Not to a conflict zone directly, because I think it's important to avoid that. But I went to the JSA in South Korea, to Myanmar and Ukraine #PTTravel

A2 #pttravel The closest I’ve been to this was China. Tiananmen Square. We were cautioned not to take pictures of the police & if someone comes along with a “Free Tibet” t-shirt, get out of the way & if you take pics, you will go with them.

A3 #pttravel There was this display in Zagreb, Croatia I never figured out. It was some kind of reenactment of soldiers marching through town & stood guard over the town fountain.

A3 #PTTravel The memorial at Stanley, Falkland Islands. I broke away from our tour to visit this, as the name of a very good friend is on there.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3: Shoes on the Danube Bank in Budapest stuck with me. It was done to honour the Jews who were massacred by Hungarian militia during WW2. They were ordered to take off their shoes & were shot & their bodies fell into the river. It represents their shoes left behind #pttravel

A4 I tend to visit them whenever I find them. This watch is in the Peace Memorial Museum in #Hiroshima which totally changed my mind on war. #pttravel
