#1 The E-Waste Mega Dump of Agbogbloshie by @for91days

"We learned a lot about the Western scam of “recycling” while we were in Ghana. All those old shirts you’ve so thoughtfully given to a charity? They’re in a dump in Ghana. All the plastic waste you so carefully separate from the paper waste? It’s in a dump in Ghana. And your computers, tablets, phones, and other assorted electronics? They’re in Ghana."

#2 Don't miss the Mendut temple whilst visiting Borobodur! by @ivansnz

"The Mendut Buddhist Monastery has a very aesthetic architecture and is well fostered. It is not as big as the Borobodur of course but as a unique shape. Especially a huge tree in the garden of the Mendut temple fascinated me. A very old, huge tree. I've never seen a tree with vines hanging from the treetop like this one had."

#3 Rila, a sacred hideaway in the Bulgarian mountains by @haydae

"The premises of the monastery, as majestic as they were, couldn’t have been better complemented by the tremendous work of the many masters who had dedicated their art to the church. On all sides were frescoes so vivid they could have been painted the day before."
