• The Wapping Project

  
  One of the best galleries in London, for real. My love affair with this gallery started through a lucky accident. I was flat hunting at that time when I saw a poster of a Guy Bourdin exhibition on the wall of some old building, which appeared to be a former Hydraulic Power Station, now the home of The Wapping Project Gallery.

• Rantau Panjang: An Exotic Duty-Free Shopping Destination

  
  A shopping destination worth visiting for shopping-addicts of all kinds! A few days ago, my cousins and I went to visit Rantau Panjang. Sounds unfamiliar? That's because Rantau Panjang is a small district located at the Malaysian-Thailand border, near Sungai Golok (pronounced as "Su-ngai Kolok"). This place is famous among shopaholics for duty-free shopping.

• Castel Béranger or Castel Dérangé?

  
  One of the most famous and “nicest” buildings designed by Hector Guimard is the Castel Béranger at 14 rue La Fontaine. It’s a beautiful example of Art Nouveau style. One of my favorite things while living in the 16th arrondissement of Paris was to take architectural visits of the quartier, as I discovered that Hector Guimard, an architect famous for his Art Nouveau creations, including one of the different metro entrances in Paris, designed many buildings in the area.

• DMZ - the World's Hottest Border

  
  It is most likely the one border that is constantly in the focus of the world. The demarcation line between North and South Korea is always hot and edgy. You better hold your horses and don’t get silly, because the soldiers have their finger on the trigger. But beside from that, the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in South Korea can also be considered as a political version of Disneyland.

• Culture Visit at Ang Mo Kio Temple

  
  Hello guys, this is the first time that I've ever written an article about culture. As I am Chinese, I've decided to write about Taoism, a religion that is practiced by many Chinese people in Singapore. The biggest Taoism event is mainly held in the temple and during such an event, one gets to see a big crowd comprised of both young and old people. It is held on the birthday of a particular deity.
