🇵🇭KKK Manila🇵🇭 The Katipunan

The Bonifacio and the Katipunan Revolution Monument, situated within the grounds of the Bonifacio Shrine, and designed by Filipino sculptor Eduardo Castrillo, was unveiled in 1998.The Katipunan (aka KKK -no associations with Ku Klux Klan) was a Philippine revolutionary society founded by anti-Spanish Filipinos in Manila in 1892, whose primary aim was to gain independence from Spain through revolution. The society was initiated by Filipino patriot Andrés Bonifacio. Initially, the Katipunan was a secret organization until its discovery in 1896 which led to the outbreak of the Philippine Revolution. #manila #walkingtour #mustsee #historyfacts #monument

A Glimpse Of The Past

I'm attracted to vintage, antique things and musuems because they all have stories and even if I don't know the stories, I make them up. That's why visiting The National Museum of The Philippines is such a memorable and wonderful experience for me because not only it made me travel back in time but it also hit me an idea of what it feels like to live in that era. The National Musuem of The Philippines is located along Rizal Park in Manila. It tooks us 25 minutes from Balintawak LRT station to Central Avenue to get there. The museum has no entrance fee and it houses four buildings in Manila. The National Musuem of Fine Arts, The National Museum of Anthropology, The National Museum of Natural History, and the National Planetarium. I recommend everyone to have breakfast or lunch first before exploring the musuem because there are lots of Instagramable artifacts, paintings and artworks from thousand of years ago that surely will catch your attention and taking photo or selfie of it will tire you. Anyway, after eating lunch, my boyfriend and I visit the National Musuem of Natural History which includes creatively curated displays of botanical, zoological, and geological specimens that represent our unique natural history. We took a lots of photos of different species of butterflies, different type of rocks and one of the main attractions on display at the National Museum of Natural History, hanging from the ceiling of Ayala Hall, is the skeleton of Lolong, the Philippine's largest saltwater crocodile (in captivity) ever recorded and officially certified by the Guinness Book of World. After an hour and half we went and visit the National Museum of Fine Arts which houses the 29 galleries and hallway exhibitions comprising of 19th century Filipino masters, National Artists, leading modern painters, sculptors, and printmakers. The museum contains a number of important works, including: 1. The Spoliarium by Juan Luna 2. The Parisian Life 3. La Bulaqueña Unfortunately, we haven't had time to explore the National Musuem of Anthropology and National Planetarium because we need to go back to Bulacan. Hopefully on our next trip we'll get to visit those two. Overall, my experience is so wonderful and even though I got tired from walking and dehydrated due to sun's raging heat (It was March btw), the memories I created with my boyfriend inside the National Musuem of The Philippines is one of the books and will surely become a beautiful part of our history. #nationalpark #nationalmuseumofthephilippines #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #fallingforfall #artshunting #artgallery #historicallandmarks #historyfacts #coupledate

Old Station Coffee

The coffee shop lies on the corner of the main town area in Moganshan. While the owner speaks Chinese only and the menu is also only in Chinese it’s a nice and easy place to stop and relax. Drinks range from 26RMB to 46RMB and cakes are more expensive at either 38RMB or 48RMB. I tried the Mango cake and it was delicious! The coffee shop is attached to a miniature museum that gives the history of Moganshan and the travel between nearby cities (Shanghai and Hangzhou) from 1920 China to now. It’s interesting to see how Moganshan has developed while visiting an open and airy coffee shop. Definitely a recommended stop off point! #mountainview #urbanexplorer #cafe #moganshan #historyfacts #historyofchina

A place of historical significance in Berlin

Checkpoint Charlie is a historical landmark in Berlin, and a popular tourist attraction. It was the crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the cold war. A trip to Berlin is never complete without a visit to Checkpoint Charlie! Location: Friedrichstraße 43-45, 10117 Berlin, Germany Getting there is convenient with either the bus (M29 or N6) or train (Kochstraße transit stop). The hop-on-hop-off Berlin bus tour stops at Checkpoint Charlie too. There, you will find many exhibits and museums that describe the rich history of the cold war. The outdoor gallery is free of charge. I easily spent 2 hours there reading up on the war, very educational! There are restaurants and shops nearby for a mid day break, if needed. #germany #berlin #berlinwall #history #historyfacts #museum

Japan and it's castles; comparing Japanese castles with their European counterparts, these Asian structures were never built on a cliff or a hill for extra protection. So, the shōgun built up moats and mazes to slow down enemy attackers. Unlike us Europeans, the Japanese respected these beautiful buildings and very rarely attacked them, instead strangling the food supply so the residents inside starved to death, and then the enemy would waltz in and own an unattacked, unbroken building. The Japanese are amazing. #history #historyfacts #japan #japanesehistory #castle #osakacastle #osaka #sunset #beautiful #castlesunset #japan #travel #solotravel #white #asia #asianarchitecture #castlefacts #awesomepic#couplestrip#deliciousfood#decembertravel#nyedestinations
