It’s More Fun In the Philippines!!!
Katibawasan Falls is a waterfalls located five kilometers southeast of Mambajao at the foot of Mt. Timpoong in the island of Camiguin.
Have you guys been to Katibawasan Falls? Well, I’m sure most Filipino especially those in Mindanao area have been to this falls. I was in college when we went to Katibawasan Falls for school recreation tour. To tell you the truth, when I transferred to Cagayan De Oro City, i experienced tons of tour and field trip to Camiguin, Iligan and other place that has amazing natural resources. But then when I transferred back to Cebu City during third and fourth year college, that’s when the fun was over. I want to go back to this place one day.
Thanks to Google for the easy translation in just one click! Awesome
Here is another postcard that I got from a fellow PE member. I forgot the country though, I think it was Morocco. I searched online and it gave me a result in different language.
Une tannerie est un atelier où des peaux d’animaux (bœuf, mouton, chèvre, cochon) sont traitées chimiquement et mécaniquement pour la production de cuir.
Le produit utilisé peut avoir une origine naturelle (tanin en provenance de certaines essences forestières comme le chêne, dont on broyait les écorces dans un moulin à tan), ou bien être un produit chimique de synthèse.
Dans la tannerie, les peaux sont nettoyées : sur leur face extérieure les poils et crasses sont enlevés, sur leur face intérieure la peau intérieure est enlevée.
Les peaux sont alors trempées dans des bassins contenant du tanin pendant une certaine période, puis elles sont retirées, lavées puis séchées.
Cette opération s’appelle le tannage, l’artisan qui l’effectue est le tanneur.
I went to Google Translate and had it translated in English. This is what is says about Tannerie;
A tannery is a workshop where the skins of animals (cattle, sheep, goat, pig) are chemically and mechanically treated to leather production.
The product used can be natural (tannin from certain tree species such as oak, whose bark was crushed in a bark-mill), or be a chemical synthesis.
In tanning, the skins are cleaned: on the outer hairs and dirt are removed, on the interior surface of the inner skin is removed.
The hides are then soaked in pools containing tannin for a certain period, then they are removed, washed and dried.
This is called tanning, the craftsman who performs is the tanner.
I got this postcard from one of the member in Postcard Enthusiast in Facebook. It was from Col Akhil of India. It was funny because last December as I was sending some packages and wrapping some presents. I kind of made mistake in writing the address of the package that I will be sending to my sister in Kuwait. Instead of my sister c/o address, I mistakenly copied the address of Col Akhil going to India. It was mid afternoon when I realized why I was sending package to India? That was the result of lacked of sleep. I became like a zombie and definitely drained every single energy and sanity.
Anyway, at the back of this postcard was a message from the sender that tells about the building. There you go;
Greetings from Bangalore!
Built in 1892 by Imam Sultan MS Agakhan III. This palace is a national monument of India’s freedom movement. This palace was built for an act of charity to help the poors in Pune drastically hit by the famine in those days.
Sounds like this palace have significant history in the country. Very interesting!
