True! It looks very interesting... each one of them ;)
not an instagrammed but a traveler ;)
I've walked on that Turkish "carpet"and i'm telling you it's even prettier in the morning with the sun shining bright above it :)
It's a pity, If you leave in the US like me, it's really difficult to travel to all those amazing places in Europe :/
hm.... yes, europe has amazing places, but it's even harder for us to travel to USA with all the visa regulations and the huge distances from north to south ;)
well, the visa problem is easily fixed, you just get one lol but there are long distances between the great points of America, that's true :/
Haha staying in Singapore is even harder heh...
Omg yes Singapore
It’s my country/city
wow
whats goin on here folks?
Hey my city started to install the same kinda lights like number 2
oh yeah those are really sweet, makes it easier to look at the stoplights in the night
If only they also changed traffic lights for cars so they would be more visible :D
Just drive a bigger car and the problem is solved :D
Wow those overhead gardens are amazing! I knew some of these, but not all! Hoping to travel soon and see some
