To Mycenae

To Mycenae to visit the Lion Gate which was the entrance to the city. 
Atop the gate, two lions rampant are carved in stone relief.

    Athens is about rocks and carvings, right? The most common one is the picture of your background blog.. :)

    Hi Wenn, are you blogging from Greece or are these scheduled posts you prepared based on your travel itinerary? I'm just wondering.

I will work throughout until the boss has taken his bath and dinner. Then only I will go back for sure. I love Fridays as I will go back earlier instead of the usual closing time.

I had steamed garlic chicken rice which was scrumptious. I had to wait for 20mins for my rice to...

It's made of weaved plastic and ropes too. Since the auspicious day coincided with the birthday of the Sikh Guru, we were taken to the Sikh temple nearby. I was glad to be in such a religious and clean place. We were needed to be on barefoot and cladded with a head scarf. it's a first time experience for both my Chinese friend and myself. After the prayer with the chanting from the priest sitting in front, we were given a sweet dessert which I must receive it with both palms. Of course, we had to eat it. We adjourned to the dining hall and had our breakfast. The Punjabi tea was totally different from our usual tea. Since we had ...
