Pan-America Panorama – Arequipa and Culco Canyon

Yes! The panoramas are back! But I'm not sure how many, if any, I have after this one. Today I look at the ones I snapped in Arequipa, in Peru and around. I took a trip through the mountains to the Culco Canyon as well from Arequipa, although I didn't take a lot of panoramas. …

Study Tour to Bangladesh – Part One

Two Thousand and Two. Yep, it was a long time ago. My university offered a subject where the students actually went to Bangladesh for a three week study tour to study International Development in Bangladesh. Don’t panic Australian taxpayers – we had to fork the money out ourselves! And it turned out to be an …
