Inspired by @kus-knee’s Show Me a Sign contest, I’ve digged out an old picture from my phone and will also present you another sign photo freshly taken in my current trip.

##

##
The first picture here was shot in Castro, a city on Chiloé Island in Chile. It’s known for its colorful wooden stilt houses (palafitos) and churches. I loved this quiet and peaceful place that had so many creative and unique architectures to offer.

This sign is of a Chilean style Cevichería restaurant, and oh how I miss the Peruvian ceviches! I had the fresh delicious treat almost every week when living in Chile ~ Qué rico! :)

The simple sign adds a playful touch to the traditional wooden house, and its name and the fish indicate the restaurant’s signature dish, the typical element of Chilotan architecture palafitos, and its location right by the Pacific Ocean.

Here’s another sign ( actually 2 if you also count the one behind) I just captured when visiting Chefchaouen. It’s a colorful place as well but much more touristic. It’s in the Rif Mountains of northwest Morocco and is known for the old town’s blue-painted buildings.

Still some distance from the Sahara Desert, but this lovely sign did match the blue background and successfully caught my attention.

##
What do you think of these signs? Do you have interesting signs to share? Feel free to join the fun contest too!

Thanks to the mention by the very talented photographer @lightcaptured, I got to know his 4th #TravelPhotoContest themed Landmarks. So the first thing popping up in my mind is not the super famous landmarks I’ve visited like Great Wall, Machu Picchu, Christ the Redeemer, Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Statue of Liberty, Sydney Opera House, or Moai on the Easter Island🗿(I know, I’m such a typical tourist right? ;p It’s a great idea for a series of Landmark posts though, so I’m listing them here for future ;)), but a huge prawn 🦐 erected in a small town in Australia.

Also, I’m traveling now without access to most of my past camera photos, yet the pictures of this Big Prawn taken with my phone are lying there still (no pun intended). So here they are - a dedication to my lovely memories in Straya 🇦🇺, this amazing country that I will for sure go back one day. :)

##

##
The statue is in Ballina, a town located in New South Wales, serving as a gateway to the popular site Byron Bay. Built in 1989 and reopened in 2013 with a makeover, the Big Prawn is another of Australia’s iconic big things. There are also Big Pineapple, Big Banana, Big Peach… but I didn’t stop to take decent pictures of them.

This Big Prawn is situated adjacent to Bunnings Warehouse on River Street and have attracted road trippers like us.

This is the beef Tajine I had yesterday in Morocco. The dried apricots and prunes added a sweet taste to it, and they were a perfect match to the soft succulent beef. Scoop up the rich tasty gravy with the bread aside - it’s simply heaven! :)

##

##
Tajine is a popular dish primarily prepared in the Middle East and North Africa. It’s named after the shallow earthen pot in which it is cooked. In North Africa it is called a Tajine/Tagine, while in the Middle East it is called a maraq (meaning broth) or a qidra (the cooking pot).

##

##
As there are quite a lot of Moroccan immigrants in Belgium, restaurants that serve Tajine can also be found there. I tried beef and chicken Tajine before a few times, but it’s my first time in Morocco. They have always been such a hearty delight to enjoy. =)

##
Beautiful decorative pots I found on the street:

##
What about you? Have you tried Tajine? Do you like it?

It’s my entry to @qurator’s Tasty Tuesday competition. Join the fun too if you like food and photography!

这是昨天在摩洛哥北部小城得土安吃的塔吉锅。牛肉松软鲜嫩，白芝麻的香气在空中飘散，杏仁和西梅干的丝丝甜味融入别样的阿拉伯风情，用面包蘸点浓浓的汤汁，吃到嘴里回味无穷。^^

塔吉锅是北非中东比较普遍的主食，名字来源于烹饪的容器，在中东称呼有所不同。因为比利时有不少摩洛哥移民，以前也吃过几次鸡肉和牛肉塔吉锅，在本土还是第一次尝试。

这次上菜时没有像有些餐馆一样，把那标志性的尖尖的锅盖（上图有我街拍的容器）也一起端上来，然后服务生充满仪式感地揭开锅盖放在旁边，让你在蒸腾上升的热气中咽着口水，从一片朦胧中张望那盘诱人的美食。:)

This is the view of Tétouan from a hilltop. The northern Moroccan city lies along the Martil Valley and is my first major stop after landing on the African continent from the strait of Gibraltar.

##
I enjoyed walking around this “white city”. As you can see from my photos, white buildings clustered on the side of the verdant Riff mountains, with some red, yellow and green roofs.

##

##
Tétouan is one of the two major Mediterranean ports of Morocco and is the administrative capital of the country’s Spanish zone. Many locals here speak Arabic, French and Spanish. I feel like I’m back to multilingual Belgium again! :)

##

##
Not so famous as Chefchaouen, Fez or Marrakesh, it has its unique charm. Its entire old medina is recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site. And it has been part of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the area of Crafts and Folk Art. Enough proof huh?

Much more experiences and closeup photos from my camera are coming in the future when faster stable internet is available. =)

If you have been to Cusco of Peru, you might have visited the famous site of Sexywoman (Saqsaywaman). It is a citadel on the northern outskirts of the Inca Empire’s historic capital.

At the site, I tried sliding down the massive stone slopes, just like what the boy’s doing in my photos. I loved the changing emotions shown clearly on his face. :) Imagine the thrill and fun we had at this amazing natural playground of the Inca!

This collage is my entry to @ntopaz’s Emotive Art contest. Below are the 2 original photos:

##
Here’s how the stone slides look like. Apparently the boy enjoyed it and couldn’t wait to have more. ;)

##
如果你去过秘鲁的印加古都库斯科，可能也去看了北郊有名的Saqsaywaman遗址。如果你还没去过，将来记得去试试这里的天然大石梯！

就像我照片中的小男孩一样，我也沿着这石头坡滑下去，很有意思的体验～ 不知道古代的印加人是不是也常常在此寻欢作乐，哈哈。

迅速下滑的过程中，耳边风飕飕而过，那种既有点恐惧又极度兴奋的快感交织，明明白白地写在了这个小男孩的脸上。:)
