Viking Age Ring Fortresses
Frederik Dawson Netherlands - 10-Nov-23
I visited two of five inscribed Viking Ring Fortresses, the unknown Borgring and the famous Trelleborg on my short trip to Denmark. On the way from Copenhagen to Stevn Klint, just outside the city of Koge, I made a brief stop to see Borgring which was just next to the highway exit. After parked my car on the empty carpark, I found out that I was the only soul, no staff, no entry restriction, so I just entered to see something equally empty! Borgring was like a big playground for kids with big circle ring sandbox. There was nothing to see, no hill, no turf, only some metal or wooden frames and columns doting the whole place. My thought at that moment was “Is this a joke?” before walked back to my car.
Read OnRuins of León Viejo
Frederik Dawson Netherlands - 20-Oct-23
I had a full day tour from Managua to visit two Nicaraguan World Heritage Sites, the two Leon. After breakfast, a driver picked me up from the hotel to Leon Viejo with a brief stop to see the mighty volcano of Momotombo. The ruins were in the small village that my guide from Leon whom I met at the junction before the village entrance said, “a perfect place to admire Nicaraguan way of life”. He took me to see the small museum which I learnt that Leon Viejo is actually built by native Americans before the arrival of Spanish and after befriended with and enslaved the locals, the newcomer built the western styled town and lived together with natives, so Leon Viejo was quite very unique in the history of colonial city foundation.
Read OnRideau Canal
Frederik Dawson Netherlands - 19-Oct-23
My original plan on Rideau Canal was just to see its famous locks at Ottawa’s city center but turned out I saw many parts of the canal from Ottawa to Kingston unexpectedly. The famous and iconic Ottawa’s part of the canal was just hard to miss, while I did not find anything interesting with those multi-locks and a bit quite surprised that the size of the canal was smaller than I imagined, the location and the view of Canadian Parliament with this World Heritage Site was just superb. After great time in Ottawa, my friend and I planned to depart the city to Toronto in the morning but with certain reason, we ultimately left Ottawa on the late lunch time and decided that we had to find some place to stay instead of Toronto, and Kingston was my friend’s choice.

Frederik Dawson Netherlands - 19-Oct-23
I had a full day tour from Managua to visit two Nicaraguan World Heritage Sites, the two Leon. After ending the morning tour in Leon Viejo at 10 AM, my guide’s original plan was local market then having lunch before the cathedral visit, but he got a warning phone call from his company that, the cathedral will be closed for the whole afternoon for certain ceremony, so he hurriedly took me to see cathedral at 11 AM before noon. The first thing we had to do was to secure the entrance ticket. The ticket booth was in the small hard to find entrance at the back of the cathedral opposite the local market, that in my opinion who on earth is going to notice this place! Then my guide rushed me to another entrance at bell tower and took me to see the famous roof.
Read OnSeowon, Neo-Confucian Academies
Frederik Dawson Netherlands - 19-Oct-23
Back in 2018 because of the unbelievable expressway exit payment booth problem, I missed opportunity to visit Nonsan Seowon, five years later I returned to South Korea and I intent to fulfill my previous trip by visiting two listed Seowons, Oksan Seowon and Dodong Seowon during my 4th visit to Gyeongju. After breakfast I drove my rental car to Oksan Seowon, it was an enjoyable drive and I reached Oksan without problem. From empty carpark I passed the complex of traditional house and at the end of the walkway I found a complex of shrine-liked buildings and beautiful small river gorge with cascading waterfall, the whole area was perfect for hiking
