A2: Despite that I’m a history geek I’m not so interested to visit places without modern facilities like comfortable bed and electricity. However I love all outdoor museums, 4D shows etc which really show how they lived back in time. #TRLT

A2. An ancient place I go for #culture is deep #Amazonia. The #Waorani people of #Ecuador were only contacted by #WesternCivilization 70ish years ago. Much of their ancient ways persist as does their ancient #forest

A2: The culture of Ethiopia is unlike anything I've ever experienced. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church feels ancient and special - such as this monastery on Lake Tana. #TRLT @EthioEmbassyUK

A2 I felt like I had entered monastic life when I visited the monasteries at Meteora, Greece. The only nod toward modernization they've made is to build some actual roads and stairs instead of hauling the monks up the rock in rickety baskets like the used to. @cruisewriter #TRLT

A2: #India is an interesting mix of ancient and modern. There are ancient Hindu temples, such as this one, and plenty of modern conveniences too. Despite being an ancient religion, Hinduism is still widely practiced, especially in India. #TRLT

A2: a place that still maintains its culture, I found, is Bagan in Myanmar. Tourists are free to explore the ruins but families still visit to light candles, pray etc. It’s like a great mix of tradition and tourism #trlt
