I want my own weird experience by Rideau! @Ulquiorra - No, not really. Just water pouring out of the locks. @RennyBA - Thanks for the award! I love these locks, they are right downtown and they are a great place to hang out at. I'll read your post about your locks and canal! @DianeCA - Fascinating, isn't it! @kyh - I did watch and I'm still watching today. I'm going to Bejing next week, I'm so excited! @Seraphine - Bagpipe is obviously a big part of Chinese culture! Confucius said "take a bag, take a pipe, and make a bagpipe". His advice is still followed today :lol: @Scarlet - This is my second firework this summer and I must say I did enjoy. @itelli – Thank you!

Unfuckingbelievable. It was a Kiwi. Hilton, the Kiwi. What a star! He had a drink from our wineskin, sang with us, and departed.

I especially liked Firework ones :) It’s so good to know old structures/monuments are given their dues. I just simply love to see and cherish World Heritage Site Err Heritage Sites :) I am sure this would be one of those Gems. Great place! Stunning photos! I especially liked Firework ones :)
