replying to @MoragForbes @MoragForbes @TheTravelCamel #AghiaSophia (Holy Wisdom in Greek 🇬🇷) is a Byzantine gem of our World Cultural Heritage. Sadly being neglected since it was turned again recently into a mosque by Turkey 🇹🇷 which means no monitoring, no cap on excess visitors who damage this 4th century AD church 🚨😳🙏 #TRLT

replying to @loyaltytravels @loyaltytravels @findinganeish @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 I can read Cyrillic, in the sense I can, well, pronounce it. I have no knowledge of what the words *are*, but even that little knowledge helps.

I get personally self-irked and socially-anxious in places where I can't do this. Is why I've never been to Japan. #trlt

A5: hand gestures, can share different cultural meanings. I have learned that beckoning someone by curling your index finger toward you with you palm face upward has negative connotations in China, Japan, Singapore, and other parts of East Asia.
