Hey hello everybody. My name's Desy and I live in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Actually I'm not a Javanese. I'm a Palembangnese. I was born in Palembang, the capital city of South Sumatra, Indonesia. I lhave many hobbies and one of that was also my father hobby then I found something fun and I realized that I love it : Backpacking. It matched my character as a Sagittarius person; an adventure lover and also love any challenging activities. And that's why I interested to write on this Baraaza blog. Because I reaaaally love backpacking to see many nice views out of my place, knowing other culture is interesting for me, and especially I can make friends with local people. And because of all that reasons, I need to write my experiences on this blog. Besides, it can be about everything; my hobbies, my daily life, and many more. But here I want to focus writing about my backpacking experiences. Let say I am a newbie backpacker, a newbie blogger in here, and still learn a lot in order I could write it in a good way. Please take it look at my next post if you want to know me and my adventures. And never hesitate to give any comment or criticize me. Thank you :) |

We're certainly not endorsing high stakes, impeccably executed art theft. But this is pretty cool.
In the wee small hours between 2009 and 2010, some set of clever souls crept into a private residence in Marseilles and the Cantini Museum across town, making off with 30-some paintings worth more than $2.5 million. Police are currently tracking down leads, but so far it appears that the culprits have made off like—well, thieves in the night.

If you're a fan of post-industrial rehabbing—and really, who isn't—we may have a modern wonder for you to check out the next time you're in Vienna. These gasometers were shut down in 1984, and after a few decades hosting Bond villains (and a series of truly awesome raves), they've been converted into a combination of condos, offices and shops. We doubt you'll run across anything too mind-blowing in the shops, but it ranks high on our list of post-industrial marvels.

It is a passion of mine to investigate ancient cultures and the most accessible means to do so is to see ancient relics of artistic expression and accomplishment at sites and in archeological museums. The countries around the Mediterranean have long held a fascination for me and I've spent many hours reading about and visiting the typical sites and the not-so-known places with great enthusiasm.
If you have a chance to visit Athens, for example, make it a point to see the Cycladic Museum and the ancient Cycladic sculptures in places all over Greece, especially on Crete. Visit the Archeological Museum on Crete - it is spectacular!
Here I am standing on the site of Knossos, the palace grounds. We really have a lot of misinformation about the ancient cultures all over the globe because they are so vulnerable to tourist tales. Beware the stories associated with Crete, the Minoans, and the story of King Minos. Much of this is assumption and "Arthur Evans, a well educated Englishman, succeeded in
revealing the Minoan culture on Crete" ... possibly! There is evidence too, of fabrication and tampering with artifacts and myth. Today these kinds of scientists and preservationists are much more concerned with presenting the past in as authentic a way as possible but in past days, not so careful renovations occurred.
There's a fantastic dig and resulting re-creation of an ancient city -
Akrotiri - on Santorini (ancient Thera) that you must not miss! I found this to be a high point in our trip.
