Blend of Islamic & High Tech Architecture in Putrajaya
In the below picture is how you would see the Putrajaya Township while driving in a car. New high tech buildings on both sides of the wide road & cobra curved street lights everywhere. The onion shaped domes usually belong to the government buildings. Malaysia is an Islamic country hence the architecture is designed to resemble many elements found in Islamic architecture like the onion shaped domes & large spanning arches. You may find it like I do, to view the prevalent contrast between the blend of high tech architecture & Islamic architecture in Putrajaya.
One thing is for sure, the Islamic architectural elements have succeeded in making the government buildings look grand & monumental. The high tech architecture in Putrajaya has also succeeded in providing a futuristic outlook for Putrajaya. Combined, both Islamic architecture & high tech architecture in Putrajaya represents Malaysia’s desire & goal for a unique, developed nation by 2020. Do visit Putrajaya while on holiday in Malaysia or Kuala Lumpur. There are many beautiful places to see, splendid for taking photographs!

It’s a big problem for Beijing. While I was in holiday in Beijing for 8 days last September 2007 with my lady, I only saw the sun in the sky for 2 of the days. Now it is worst.
Apart from the normal baggage, hand luggage, socket adaptors & etc; the digital camera is important for travelers. You never know when a flight delay may happen & you stay at the airport for half a day or more like what happened to my girl recently at the Beijing airport. Moving on, a digital camera can help you breeze through the waiting hours to take even hundreds of pictures of people, activities & etc happening in the airport.
