Snapshot Saturday: Underground Mosque

by Gay Mitra - August 13, 2011August 13, 201427

Because we almost always map our own walking tours, getting lost is a regular occurrence for us. And getting lost is an awesome way to find underrated gems such as this underground mosque which we stumbled upon whilst searching for Taman Sari Castle in Yogyakarta. Reminds me of Tunisia, where some scenes of the Star…

Kuta Beach, one lazy early afternoon.If you ask me about the best beaches I have seen here and abroad, off the top of my head, Kuta Beach ain’t on the list. However, the island’s cult following clad in rash guards, is such an amusing bunch. They can easily make you linger for a while. Our…
