One Man in Kyoto: HOUSES OF THE HOLY: NANZEN-JI
http://onemaninkyoto.blogspot.com/2007/08/houses-of-holy-nanzen-ji.html
One Man in Kyoto. Thursday, August 23, 2007. HOUSES OF THE HOLY: NANZEN-JI. Nanzen-Ji was originally a retirement home for Emporer Kameyama in the 13th Century, but after his death in 1291 it was converted to a Zen temple, with the grounds also housing many smaller temples and lavish gardens. Over the years, many of the structures were destroyed during various wars, so the current buildings only date back to the 17th Century (as if that wasn't too long ago). Labels: HOUSES OF THE HOLY.

One Man in Beijing: HOUSES OF THE HOLY: TEMPLE OF HEAVEN PARK
http://onemaninbeijing.blogspot.com/2007/08/houses-of-holy-temple-of-heaven-park.html
One Man in Beijing. Sunday, August 26, 2007. HOUSES OF THE HOLY: TEMPLE OF HEAVEN PARK. One of Beijing's most enduring the symbols, the Temple of Heaven is considered by many to be the most perfect example of Ming-style architecture. It is surrounded by the Echo Wall, a circular enclosure where one's whispers can supposedly be heard all the way at the other end of the wall. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work when a couple of hundred people are around. Labels: HOUSES OF THE HOLY. One Man on Earth.

One Man in Kyoto: HOUSES OF THE HOLY: HEIAN-JINGU
http://onemaninkyoto.blogspot.com/2007/08/houses-of-holy-heian-jingu.html
One Man in Kyoto. Thursday, August 23, 2007. HOUSES OF THE HOLY: HEIAN-JINGU. Heian-Jingu is a striking shrine complex built in 1895 to celebrate Kyoto's 1100th anniversary. It is home to a series of bright orange buildings that are scaled-down reproductions of structures from the Heian period (794 to 1185). They were still pretty big, so the originals must have been massive. Several major events are held annually at Heian Jingu, which makes sense because it's a pretty impressive place.

One Man in Beijing: BEIJING RESTAURANT REVIEWS: QUANJUDE AND DONG LAI SHUN
http://onemaninbeijing.blogspot.com/2007/08/beijing-restaurant-reviews-quanjude-and.html
One Man in Beijing. Sunday, August 26, 2007. BEIJING RESTAURANT REVIEWS: QUANJUDE AND DONG LAI SHUN. It's been said that a trip to Beijing is not complete until you visit the Great Wall and eat some roasted duck. On the night before we were going to go to the former, we decided to partake in the latter. In guidebooks, on the Internet and at our hotel's concierge desk, one restaurant name kept coming up as the best place to sample this local delicacy: Quanjude. It was pretty delicious, but quite honestly,...

One Man in Florence: ART ATTACK: THE UFFIZI
http://onemaninflorence.blogspot.com/2007/08/art-attack-uffizi.html
One Man in Florence. Monday, August 20, 2007. ART ATTACK: THE UFFIZI. When it comes to art museums, there are many great ones in the world but a few that rise to the top of the pantheon because of the sheer number of legendary works that can be found under their collective roofs. I'm talking about places like the Louvre, MOMA and Florence's own Uffizi. For me, that number is in the high thousands, so to finally stand face to face with this masterpiece was a particular thrill.

One Man In Bangkok: April 2007
http://onemaninbangkok.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
One Man In Bangkok. 8550 miles from home. No job. No friends. Most of my stuff in some storage container in Michigan. My three-year mission: to explore a strange new world, to seek out a new life amidst a new civilization, to boldly go where this man has never gone before. Tuesday, April 17, 2007. OUTSIDE BANGKOK: A SNORKELING TRIP IN KRABI. You can't visit an island paradise like Krabi without doing a little snorkeling, so the other day we booked a trip, set out on the high seas and enjoyed the scenery.
