Cologne, Germany
This is a botanic garden found in Cologne. You will see a collection of plants in one spot. I wished, what if I got a chance to do this in my country? I imagine ulumaayi, leemmana, makannisa, birbirsa, harbuu, baddeessa, goraa, ... and so on included in the garden.
This flower is small in size and not attracting that much. I approached, put my phone camera closer, and captured it. It returned astonishing. Would you happen to know? Little things we ignore look powerful if we pay them attention!
This fountain is found at the entrance of the botanic garden, and it welcomes you with wind-blown water droplets, making you refreshed. You will see rainbow colors due to the water droplets and sunshine. That is physics of light and water spray! Wuhhhhuu
Amsterdam, Netherlands
In the middle of August 2024, My wife Ababo, my daughter Firi, and I were in Amsterdam during our holiday break. To be honest, Amsterdam was a costly city. A credit account is recommended unless otherwise you run out of finance.
On the lake side, Firi and I were posed for Photo shoot! The first lady is trying all the best to keep us on the memory!
It was a sunny and hot day - at Linnaeushof (a nice place for kids) in the Netherlands. After a long, overwhelming play at the playground, Firi started screaming, "Ich will Icecream essen!" which is a short command. Indeed, we all deserve it!! Ummm ... eenyu jibbaree?
Berlin, Germany
In July 2023, we were in Berlin for our summer break. Firi liked the tractor, and maybe it could be her destiny. Who knows ... haha? Literally, we toured through Berlin and tried to step in all reachable shops, cruise on the river, and site seeing. It was funny and amazing - in short!!
For Firi, it was a big moment as she is able to understand different animals in life, and for us as well, it was funny. Firi feels these animals as their friend, just like her stuffed animals (kuscheltieren)
This place is a memorial of the soviet war commemorating the 7000 of the 80,000 Red Army soldiers during World War II. If you visit and see the notations on the stones, you will really hate war! Peace to the world!!
Lugano, Switzerland
In July 2022, My wife Ababo, my daughter Firi, and I were in Lugano city in Switzerland. Lugano is a scenic and neat city built around the lake.
On the lake side, somebody was willing to take us a picture and we were in p-e-p-s-iiiii pose.
Our hotel includes a breakfast service and it was not bad when you wake up without thinking of what to cook! We liked it!
Paris, France
In August 2019, my wife Ababo and I were in Paris during our summer break. This place is in front of the Louvre Museum, which is one of the most famous and iconic museums in the world. It was full of fun and memorable time.
It was a long day, and we were touring the city - sunny and fresh air. While we were on the riverside, Ababo paused to take a photo of the statues on the Alexander III bridge.
The water spray behind the Eiffel Tower in the sunny summer, you really need it feel refreshed, and be energized for the rest of the day as a tourist.
Ljubljana, Slovania
In June 2019, I got a chance to present my first conference paper, and I got a chance to travel with my wife. After the conference, we wanted to explore the city, and many more solid memories were there.
On the last day of our stay, I got a chance to meet one of my old-timer friends - he is called Gussa - a brilliant boy - we were raised in the same church and school, and it was a mesmerizing moment. Akkam taane akkas taane, addunyaa gubbaa faffacaane! Jennekaa!
This place was, for me the scariest place in the city - which is artistic and a collection of humanistic artifacts.
Vienna, Austria
On January 3 and 4, 2019, we were in Vienna, Austria. It was an amazing memory, especially when we listened to the tour guide who explained all the Western civilizations and their impact on today's life.
A two-horse-drawn carriage is one of the highlights of Vienna city. We have not tried it, though costly, but it looks sexy and special to couples. Vienna offers several site viewing and foods.
Nowadays, it is common to see churches, once holy places, becoming tourist attractions. I hope to see people back in churches in the future!
Prague, Czech Republic
From Dec. 29, 2018 - Jan. 2, 2019, we were in Prague, Czech Republic. It has been less than three months since Ababo arrived in Germany, and it was a fun and very memorable time - say it, honeymoon :D !!!
Traveling's last memory is PHOTO! At the heart of Prague, you make many memories. But do not forget to take pictures. That is what you appreciate or regret once it becomes a memory! Prague remains one of our top places to visit - in Europe!
The New Year's Eve and the New Year were amazing to celebrate in Prague. The sky was full of fireworks. The density of the population from all over the world and the funny things on the street make the memory last - maybe lifelong.
Zurich, Switzerland
It was July 2018 when my friend Nathy and I traveled from Paris to Zurich to enjoy the vibrant city of Switzerland. It was a very amazing moment as we were walking alongside Lake Zurich. Along the way, you find single and couples who enjoy the street - and several music and parties along the way.
On the "Uetilberg" where I took this picture is a mountain Plateau rising 870m. It offers a panoramic view of the entire city of Zürich and the Lake of Zurich.
After the visit, we got to dine at the restaurant, and below our seat was the greenish forest!
Zurich's stay was special as the two junior and senior stars of Ijoollee Horroo met and shared their views not only on how ... but also ...
Finally, we get a pose to take a photo, because stars shine more photos!
