Luang Prabang--a World Heritage Site Worth Your Time
2008-04-08 16:44:00 I had the incredible delight of spending 2 days and 2 nights in Luang Prabang (Lao.co.uk, Lao Embassy, UNESCO World Heritage, Luang Prabang 2 Day, Luang Prabang Travel, Wikipedia, Wikitravel, The New York Times, Travelfish.org). Luang Prabang is a flourishing and small town that is beautifully situated on the banks of the Mekong and Nam Khan Rivers (they converge in Luang Prabang). Unfortunately, I left not getting to see and do everything that I wanted to. Oh well, this just gives me a reason to came back to Laos (a country I am falling in love with!) in the near future.The first night we arrived in Luang Prabang was pretty casual. Kim, Tyler, Sonja, and I decided to find a place to watch the sunset.

Phou Si has temples scattered on all sides, and we made our way up a number of steps to Wat Phra Bat Nua. A handful of younger monks were jok...

The WartburgCastle: A UNESCO World Heritage Sight
2007-08-12 15:01:00 The WartburgCastle: A UNESCO World Heritage Sight It is an outstanding monument of Feudal Period in Central Europe, having Cultural Values of Universal Significance, a wonderful piece of history and architecture. The castle (Burg) is situated at a height of about 400 meters on a dangerously steep hill, over looking the city of Eisenach. It was founded in 1067 by a landgrave Ludvig der Springer. The legend is that the castle got its name when its founder laid his eyes on the hill on which now it sits majestically; enamored by the site he is supposed to have exclaimed, "Warte, Berg -- du sollst mir eine Burg werden!" ("Wait, mountain -- thou shalt become a castle for me!"). In addition, he is said to have clay from his lands transported to the top of the hill, which was not quite within his lands, to be able to swear that the castle is built on his ground. Wartburg was the seat of the Thuringian landgraves until 1440 , and as a place of courtly cu...

The government plans to add 5,400 square kilometres of land within the Greater Nahanni ecosystem, barring it from any kind of further development.Despite the good news "arguably" is the key word. There has been an ongoing efforts to protect in the Nahanni's entire 38,000 square kilometer watershed by both environmentalists, and local first nations who already have ceded control of 23,000 square kilometers to Parks Canada.
