This is the Kuala Lumpur skyline viewed from Titiwangsa Recreational Park. I strolled around the huge park for a few hours with my mom. It was the golden sunset hour when we reached this spot, and I found it’s a great point to look at those landmarks in the city such as the famous Petronas Twin Towers and the tall tower Menara Kuala Lumpur. The clouds, lake and reflections added more layers to the beauty.

Titiwangsa Recreational Parks spreads across an area of 95 hectares, more than half of which is a big lake. When it was under British Rule in history, this area was full of tin mining activities. Later on, it was cleaned up and developed into a green space. When we walked around the lake garden, we saw people jogging, cycling, boating, kayaking and having picnic with families or friends. This green lung in the gigantic hectic city seemed to be a popular place to relax a bit.

这是从蒂蒂旺莎湖滨公园拍到的吉隆坡一角。英治时期，公园所在的这块地方曾是锡矿开采区。后来被清理并开发成公园绿地，面积95公顷，其中一个巨大的湖占地超过一半。我带着妈妈在这个大公园里逛了一圈，看到很多人在慢跑、划船、野餐…… 这块绿肺似乎是吉隆坡这个繁忙的大都市里休闲放松的一个好去处。

Hey everyone! The Easter holiday is starting here officially from next Monday, and since it’s weekend now, many have started traveling. So following my last Flat Lay post (somewhere 2 months ago… 😅), I’m sharing more flat lay photos today which is related with traveling:

I arranged these travel objects on a big piece of white card stock, and shot a few photos from above. Most of these items were found during my trips around the world. See that lovely eye cover with “dreaming of next destination” (it’s from Brazil 🇧🇷, so it’s printed in Portuguese) and the mouse mat with “Wanderlust” on it?

Here’s another one I did:

Now we are on the way to the Austrian Alps for a short skiing holiday. I’m posting this with my phone over a coffee break at a gas station in Germany. So I’ll keep it short.

What about you? When do you have a Easter holiday? Any plans for traveling? :)

这边的复活节假期开始了，很多人外出旅行，我们也在去奥地利滑雪的路上。昨天开了一晚，现在德国境内，途中加油站咖啡间歇，抽空分享几张我平铺旅行小物件俯拍的照片。刚看了下，上一篇flat lay还是两个月前的事😅。以前提过，这类照片在图库网站比较受欢迎。所以，旅途中可以拍拍风景、人文，在家可以拍拍这些小物件，总之，永远拍不完。:)

这些小物大都是旅途中淘的，连手机都是在美国出差时买的，手机壳一看便知来自袋鼠国🇦🇺。我最❤️的那个眼罩上写着“正在梦见下一个目的地”（在巴西圣保罗一个市场上淘的，所以是葡萄牙语），哈哈。还有那张印有wanderlust的鼠标垫我也很喜欢。

你有什么旅行途中淘到的心水小物吗？欢迎留言分享～ =)

I took this photo in a primitive tribe in the Omo Valley of Ethiopia, not far from the border with Kenya. The living environment was pretty harsh there. Like the other girls in the tribe, these 2 sisters decorated themselves with bright-colored beads.

Eyes speak a thousand words, and there are even 2 pairs of eyes in the picture. ;) Plus a picture is worth a thousand words. So here we go, 3000 words! Enough for today.

跟上篇一样，参加人像摄影活动，拍于埃塞俄比亚南部一原始部落。

突然想到下面这首十几年前听到的歌，跟照片没关系，只是都有两个姑娘。很喜欢The Ditty Bops这个组合，每首歌都百听不厌。可惜几年前就不活跃了。

P.S. 刚看有评论说到“自由飘荡的灵魂”，一想莫非还真有点关系：唱这歌的一对女同无视世俗偏见，最终结了婚； 而这部落的两姐妹也是活在现代社会之外。大概都算勇敢？

This song suddenly came to my mind. It has nothing much to do with my photo except for there are also 2 girls in the band.

P.S. One comment below has left me thinking that they could have something in common:
The 2 sisters live out of the modern society, and the lesbian couple from the music band is also alternative. So both nonmainstream and courageous?

The Ditty Bops - Because We Do

from the album Summer Rains, 2008

As the world starts to fade
I’ll turn on the Rose Parade
Watch my troubles float away as the petals fly

I could march to my own drum
But I’m twiddling my thumbs
And we like it because we do

At school I learn to pray
And to keep my thoughts at bay
Follow leaders, follow orders
Follow other people’s dreams

This is where it all began
Here I sit when I should stand
And we like it because we do

And we like it because we do

The greatest prize to behold
It is life it can’t be sold
But my eyes are set on gold

They mock us when they sing
So we trade them for a ring

And we like it because we do…

Greetings everyone! I’m joining the portrait photo contest with the head picture I took in Sri Lanka. And here’s another reason I chose the photo: I saw @mariannewest’s Tuesday prompt for the 5 Minute Freewrite is GOLD. It reminds me of this cute little girl who dressed in goldish and stood in front of some goldish saree (see the second photo below). Plus her smile in the sun, together with her sweetness and intelligence made her shine like gold. :)

It’s my first time participating this Freewrite challenge, and I’m not sure if the paragraphs I’m writing in 5 minutes would meet the requirement. But it’s fun to try. If you haven’t known about this awesome daily writing challenge, feel free to check it out and join in too!

So I met this GOLD girl during my travels in the tea country in Sri Lanka. I took a train from the capital city and had a few stopovers on my way. Her hometown is one of the villages I stopped by. Her mother was running a small guest house which was part of their own home. She was the youngest daughter in the family, and welcomed me when I arrived at their hillside home from the train station. She helped me register my passport info and showed me around their house.

Her mother offered me some sweets and the local tea (of course ;)), and went on with her housework. So the little girl and I had a very pleasant conversation full of laughter, about her studies at school, the famous local tea, their village, my travels in her country and other random stuff. I know, seems I could enjoy talking with a 7 year-old as well as a 70 one. ;) On the wall of their living room, lots of her certificates of merit and event photos from school were displayed. Apparently she’s a smart and talented girl. And it’s proved soon.

After I checked into my room, I found that the socket on the wall didn’t work for charging. So I walked downstairs to tell the girl’s mother about it. Before she replied, this GOLD girl came to the rescue. She grabbed a pencil and said:”Follow me.” After a few attempts with the magical pencil, the socket worked again. Sweet, wasn’t it?

Later, when I stepped out of the house for a walk in town, I saw her helping her mom put up the golden saree for drying. Hearing my steps, she turned around and smiled to me, standing in the sun, shining like gold.

大家好~ 这篇的照片用来参加人像摄影活动，是我在斯里兰卡的茶乡拍的。这个充满灵气的小姑娘是我入住的当地一户人家的小女儿，非常聪明可爱，跟我相谈甚欢没错，我跟上至70下至7岁的人都可以无话不谈;)，还用一支神奇的铅笔帮我修好了房间的插座。

文字部分的小故事围绕5分钟自由写作活动给出的当日主题“金”。上面英文有提到相关主办人，感兴趣的朋友也来参加吧！=)

What’s up fellow Steemians! Here I’m sharing some food photos I took in one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in Belgium. Since it’s not a big country with many genuine Chinese restaurants, it’s not difficult for a foodie like me to try out almost all of them. :) This wonderful place surely stands out. I have been there quite a lot of times and went there again today. I introduced it in my previous post if you are interested to know more.

It is also my entry post for @qurator’s Tasty Tuesday competition, as well as the PC-Food photo contest hosted by @photocircle. Do you love food and photography too? Have a look at these fun challenges and join in! =)
