#1 Exploring Bangkok's Airplane Graveyard

Our first featured post is from @jpphotography in Thailand. With nothing planned for the day, he decided to head into busy Bangkok city, only to find that be boarded a boat travelling the opposite direction. The mistake turned out better than expected as it was heading near an "airplane graveyard", a place that he had intended to visit but forgot about. After paying an "entrance fee" he got in and discovered he had the whole place to himself. That surely must be every photographer's dream. By the time he finished with the plane corpses he had missed the last boat back to the hostel. Luckily he came across some friendly locals who helpd him out.

#2 WHY WE FELL IN LOVE WITH BARCELONA - #1 - THE ARCHITECTURE

If you're an architecture buff, you will love @planetus's post from Spain. He takes us on a fantastic journey around Barcelona looking at some amazing buildings around the city. From the famous classics Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera, to modern archictecture such as Montjuïc Communication Tower and German Pavilion, to the hidden gem of Montserrat monastery located by the mountain of the same name. There is surely something that will wow you.

#3 Must do: walking tour through Ho Chi Minh City

For our last featured post we head back to south east Asia. This time we're at Vietnam with @steef-05. @steef-05 takes us for a walk around Ho Chi Minh City, and takes me back to my own recent trip there a few months ago. Only he's done more walking than me and gone to more places. I remember all the scooters on the road, the busy Bến Thành market and all the famous landmarks. Not to mention the fragrant yummy pho. Thanks for a great post!
