    Very nice, I like the ethnic diversities of the different regions, you can really get a feel for the ethnic influences from the neighboring regions. I love historical/architectural areas and always try to get into the oldest part of cities/countries wherever I visit.

    Old photos are always neat to look at. 100 years isn't that long in the grand scheme of things and photos like these really put the pace of recent technological advancements in perspective, among other things. Not all of those advancements have been a good thing, unfortunately.
