Moira from the Philippines floating on a log in Lake
Balinsasayao.
Moira writes:
"Last year we went there twice. The first time, I was with my
brother, sister and two friends. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we
convinced our parents to go with us the second time around. . This trip
brought out the adventurous part in me. I also proved to myself that as
long as I want to reach a specific place, I would surely get there, I
realized this when I was able to climb my way up a number of steps from
the foot of the lake to the top of the mountain ridge to view Lake
Balinsasayao."
Serkan from Turkey celebrating the championship of his
favorite soccer team; Istanbuls' Fenerbahce. Picture made by his brother
Bulent.
Serkan is one of the biggest fans of Fenerbahce, the most famous soccer
team of Turkey. He is also one of the news editors of the web site
of the same team and broadcasts antu FM radio out of the
same web site as well on a 24/7 basis. The picture was taken last year
during the championship celebration parade of Fenerbahce at one of the
most famous streets of Istanbul, namely "Baghdad Street", in the Asian
part of Istanbul where many Fenerbahce fans live, as it's very close to a
district sharing the same name as the soccer team.
