Back Again at Chinese Garden by @tommyl33

You are so lucky to have a place like that near you! It looks like a perfect getaway from the city rush, and this time, you had the weather on your side... But where are people? I can't believe that they don't use this place to relax, take a break, have a picnic...
PS. Similarly to you going back to this Chinese garden, I always go back to my favorite Chinese restaurant... 😃 Not quite the same, but... 😂

Between Heritage and Monstrosity: How Kyiv Preserves (and Loses) Its Unique Character by @zirochka

Sorry to hear about the situation not improving in your country... I don't want to go deep into politics, as I hate politicians in general... 99% of them are all crooks, whether in peace or war... All they care about is their personal benefit, and they will do anything to get that!
One of the reasons I "escaped" from my country was exactly that... Very bad situation in the country for decades... and I just got tired of fighting against it... I love my country, but those in charge are bad people...
Truth to be told, one of the things that they can't destroy is natural beauty, or, like in your case, architecture and art! There will be always trully great people who want to leave a positive mark in history, for their country... Those are the people we should cherish, so thank you for doing exactly that in this post!

Mexico - A Journey Beneath The Vineyard by @relf87

Just a few days ago, I mentioned to my son that in my day, in the country where I lived, there were no student exchange programs at all... After seeing your post and hearing stories from people who had that opportunity, I realized I missed out on a lot...
Travelling helps you understand other people, learn about different cultures, and build mutual respect and appreciation... But what you did is even a step more... Living in a local family is the best way to embrace their culture, traditions, and way of living!
Love the wine cellar tour, and honestly, those photos from the dark are looking good!

Maranello: A Celebration Served with Carpaccio, Risotto, and Osso Buco [En-Es] by @neruel

Firstly, I’d like to congratulate you on that great achievement. Bureaucracy often gets in the way, and it’s the bureaucracy, not us, that creates the obstacles to getting things done. I’m really pleased to see you here sharing this milestone in your life and how you’ve celebrated it with your family, well deserved!
The food looks delicious, and I think I’d order the same thing as a main course. To be honest, it’s not expensive when you consider that it’s one of the best restaurants, the quality of the service and the number of people there were. An excellent review of the place and its food.

Visiting the eco-friendly tourist pier in Puerto la Cruz, with excursions to three islands in Mochima Park (Eng / Esp) by @belkyscabrera

What a beautiful place, an ideal park to spend the whole day and explore the entire area. It’s a shame you couldn’t visit the three islands because of the transport timetable, but I’m sure there’ll be plenty of other opportunities. I really like the fact that they recycle materials to make all sorts of things there, and I love the view of the jetty with the boats, the lighthouse in the distance, and the chance you had to get up close to various birds.
It’s a very beautiful park, very well maintained, and that’s so important, not just for tourism but for the wildlife there too. Thank you so much for sharing this and telling us about your experience.

Feeling Out of Sorts | Mixed Media Project by @justclickindiva

There is a branch of medicine, which is perhaps not very well known, but which I have been studying for over fourteen years, that links ailments, illnesses and discomfort to emotions; they stem from there, and more and more doctors are applying this approach. In fact, it has helped me enormously to understand what is happening to me, what I am feeling, and how to resolve it. These discomforts can disappear. For example, my brother used to suffer from migraines, very severe ones, which stemmed from stress at work; he also suffered from asthma, which was linked to an environment that made him feel suffocated. When the cause disappears, everything else tends to fall into place more easily too. What a great topic you’ve brought up this time, it’s of great interest to me.
The design captures that unease, that feeling of being on a knife-edge or on the verge of feeling really unwell. It’s brilliant! As always, you’ve done an excellent job.
