Phillipines

PhillipinesMarikina City’s Rehiyon-Rehiyon festival showcases the various ethnic groups that make up the population of the City. It serves as a tribute to the active men & women of the community who came from other regions of the country and chose to settle in Marikina. It only proves that unity can be achieved despite diverse backgrounds and different dialects.Fun and merriment in the forms of street dancing, colorful parades in ethnic garb, motorcade and a 2-hour cultural show caps this joyous event.Image: Mykl Mabalay

Libya

LibyaGhadames is a very old town in the Libyan desert. Nobody lives in as the people have moved to a new town. UNESCO world heritage classified.Ghadames has a harsh climate, but the architecture and settlement pattern of the old city are designed to handle summer’s heat and winter’s cold. The houses are built of local mud brick, limestone, palm wood and lime, with thick walls, which retain heat in the winter and keep the interiors cool in the summer. The roofs of the houses are interconnected, and many of the streets are covered, allowing for increased shade, privacy, and security. During the day, only men are allowed in the streets, while the women can move about freely among the rooftops. The houses are planned so that private spaces remain just that; a stray glance into a doorway will not compromise the privacy of the family. Today the oasis survives on farming and tourism. The farms are integrated with the houses at the oasis, and form a cohesive unit of agriculture and settlement. The plots of land are divided by walls and narrow lanes. The water used in irrigation flows in channels along the center of the lanes or the tops of the walls.
