Roger Ourset Profile
When I discovered this website some years ago I immediately decided to register, done on September 15th, 2018! It is good to find people as fond to visit Unesco World Heritage Sites as I'm, sharing & learning for their experiences!
During several years I visited those sites without being aware of their affiliation to this great list! I'm now focusing my (many!) travels on visiting the WHS!
Currently I am in the last leg of a leisure/discovery trip which brought me in several Caribbean islands and let me visit two WHS in Suriname. I'm now reaching 730 visited sites! I am also paying more attention to the TWHS out of which I visited nearly 254 ones!
The 2024 first semester travel plans should bring me to some African States and Central America!
I really enjoy when I reach a WHS, often after a long & complex trip! To discover in real what I have known only by reading or watching pictures is a great satisfaction! I am feeling "mission done " when I look at the UNESCO plaque & am fond to take pictures of the official UNESCO sign; I am also much disappointed when either I miss the sign or when there is none.. It happens not rarely & the responsible authorities for those sites should pay more attention to enhance this mark of honor!
I also have a great interest in vexillology (the historic research on civil flags)!

Lenggong Valley
Roger Ourset France - 16-Sep-18
As a recent visitor throughout the Malaysian mainland, I wished to visit the WHS of the Lenggong Valley!
This site is not really difficult to find but it seems that most of the guide books ignore this place or allocate to it few lines with fewer details! More surprisingly most people around seem to even not know the existence of a WHS nearby & its interest! One must say that the site of the Museum is not accurate, especially for the date of completion of lengthy renovation works!
I finally found a taxi driver who seems to know the area! (he was very interested by the visit & told us afterwards he will return with his children!).
