- This boy's mom invited me to visit their home when I was wondering around the old town in Havana. Sensing that there was a visitor, he ran down and stared at me with his curious eyes. I couldn't take my eyes off the staircase. It is so dilapidated yet somehow I see a splendid spiral, in its old, old glamorous time.

- More than 2,000 Buddhist temples and pagodas fill the plains of Bagan. Once the capital of the Pagan Empire, farmers now raise their livestock within the centuries old complex. The best way to see Bagan, apart from a ride on a hot air balloon, is by bicycle. It's easy to get off the beaten path and live out your wildest Indiana Jones fantasy.

- Tired and cold after a four day trip inside the first cave to hold the 1km depth record, a cave explorer tries to return to a more comfortable place. He wraps a foil blanket around his shivering body and uses the heat from the flickering candle to try and regain some warmth and strength. The Gouffre Berger (cave) in the Vercors region of France is notorious for its cold temperatures with an icy cold wind that chills to the bone.
