Let me see once in my lifetime: Graceland Mansion

where the king of Rock N Roll once lived, yay!!! And of course, I will remember to bring my mom to that shrine of Elvis Presley at Memphis, Tennessee. Aww, I can still remember his handsome face and his famous pout, and his hair, and his chest hair (ew)  white coat… He’s one of the most handsome guys on my list

By the way, my favorite singer Shania Twain (that’s right, I LOVE country rock/pop!) mentioned Elvis in her two songs: When and That Don’t Impress Me Much.

Let me see once in my lifetime: St Basil’s Cathedral

“From Russia with loveeee, I flyyy to youuuu….” sang Matt Monro.

Russia is a world strange to me. I know only those furry hats, Anastacia, Kremlin, Chernobyl, K-19 and few more things, lols. And I came to know St Basil’s Cathedral from SimCity 3000 where you can place world landmarks on your virtual city. And like I said before, I love domes. To me, the cathedral actually looks like an entrance to amusement park actually, with all those cheerful colours, teehee… but it really pleases my eyes really. Also, it’s an orthodox church, which makes me even more curious.

By the way, I spelled St Petersburg (the location of the cathedral) as PetersBUG once ^^;

I happen to love Russian names Dmitri and all those ending with -ky or -ov, hehehe…like hmm…Kalashnikov??? Oops, that’s a name of a man who made a famous type of gun actually.

By the way again, my Confirmation (the slapping sacrament) name is Yevginiya in Russian, cool eh??? I just love Russian names.

Let me see once in my lifetime: Hagia Sophia

I love travel blogs! And I’d love to have one, but I can’t afford travelling . I’m pathetic, but I’ll make sure I travel a lot in the future, possibly around the world Since I can’t exactly blog about places I have visited, let me blog about places I have to visit at least once in my lifetime.

I came to know about this wonder Hagia Sophia (meaning ‘Holy Wisdom’) from Omar Nasiri’s book “Inside the Jihad”. LOL, I know, I’m not that well-read about beautiful places on Earth, so thanks a lot Mr Nasiri for enlightening me on the Hagia Sophia (and thanks to Wiki too, for telling me the meaning of ‘Hagia Sophia’).

The Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya) was both a church and a mosque and is now a museum, if I’m not mistaken. There are Christian themed mozaic and Muslim themed artefacts inside, and I’m sure it is a very beautiful building. I happen to love domes too, they give an exotic feeling.

I wish I could upload a photo, but unfortunately I can only find copyrighted photos from Google. , so wait for me, Turkey, one day I’ll go and see your Hagia Sophia for myself.
