replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel A3. Shirakawago houses were built with the wind patterns in mind, so the gassho-zukuri houses (which were built with no nails) would just sway with the wind and not get knocked over. 🗺:

A3: The most interesting fact we have learnt was at #Kazakhstan's UNESCO site Mausoleum of Khoja Ahmed Yasawi in Turkestan. We learnt that it is the prototype of the Timurid architecture which you can find very often in #Uzbekistan! via @ramblrramblr #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @ramblRramblR A3) Perhaps the most interesting fact I've learned about a UNESCO World Heritage Site was at Chaco Culture National Historical Park was that they couldn't explain it since there's no written history of what went on there. #TRLT

A3. At the Pinacate Biosphere near Puerto Penasco, I found a collapsed lava bubble where the Apollo 14 astronauts trained. It was the closest terrain to the moon. #TRLT #pinacatebiosphere

A3 #TRLT Visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park I learned this was where the first casualty of the Croatian War of Independence happened. It was closed for several years which the park really needed. It had been really worn down from all the visitors.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @ramblRramblR A3 #trlt man, the questions are hard this time!
Maybe that the blue colour for ancient Roman togas came from Essaouira in Morocco. Although technically, the islands it came from are not in the medina, which is the UNESCO site.

A3: visiting UNESCO World Heritage Site, Fort Langley, B.C., I learned it's known as the birthplace of British Columbia, Canada. Built in 1827, as a Hudson’s Bay Company fur trading post, on the Fraser River & once part of a trade route for the British Empire.

Before Bauhaus, the 1911 Fagus shoe-last factory designed by Walter Gropius is a 1st leading example of modern-building construction with glass and steel. Until then, a building w/ unsupported glass corners was unimagined.

A3. I don't know if it's the most interesting or most mesmerizing, but Northern Ireland's Giant's Causeway and Causeway Coast has been a popular attraction for over 300 years (and you can see Scotland on a clear day!) #TRLT #loveireland #MyGiantAdventure
