All that glisters is gold. 60 tonnes of gold cover the 98-metre high pagoda which sits on Singuttara Hill and dominates the skyline of Rangoon, Burma.
The hti at the top of the golden stupa is tipped with 5,448 diamonds and 2,317 rubies and crowned with a single 76 carat diamond.
Rudyard Kipling wrote this of his 1889 visit to the Shwedagon Pagoda.
"a golden mystery upheaved itself on the horizon, a beautiful winking wonder that blazed in the sun"
So forget the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower, Machu Picchu, the Great Wall, Petra, the Pyramids, the Sydney Opera House and all other monuments of man......
The Shwedagon is quite simply the most awe inspiring monument on earth.

Living in a slum area is not so easy especially for a child. But in the midst of slum area of Baseco in Manila, Philippines, some children in the place can put a smile on their face. It's a sign that even though they're living in that kind of place, people in slum area are not losing their hope.

Finally had an excursion with friends to Club Manila East Resort in Taytay Rizal. It had lots of swimming pools, a 4-storey slide, rowing, a man-made “tidal” wave *got me dizzy*. It's not the beach but it'll do for our wearied minds and bodies. Looking forward to the next outing ;)

The most expensive 'brass' knuckles I've ever seen, these solid gold, diamond encrusted, knuckles disassembled into three separate rings (presumably for easy concealment). Designed for very large fingers, when joined together a lovely dragon figure can be seen.
Logically, I would think that these might be ruined if actually used for their intended purpose (being solid gold and all).
Rowr.
This was a total throw away shot, but I decided to mess around with it and the lioness was born.
