My visit to the Emirates.

Last year 2015, in September, I visited the Emirates Stadium,  in North London.

The Emirates Stadium is the third largest football stadium in England.

The Emirates Stadium is at the vicinity of London Metropolitan University, Holloway Road , London.

One of the best way to reach Emirates Stadium is by taking Piccadilly line.

From Holloway Road Underground Station, I just walked to Hornsey Road.

The Emirates Stadium is located at the small round about of the Hornsey Road.  You can see the twin guns in front of the stadium.

My Marvelous Guangzhou Tour Group.

I Love Group Tour. 

It is very fascinating to visit foreign country.   It is more enjoyable and exciting to travel in a group.  Last year  I visited Guangzhou.

Our first destination is Yuexiu Park in Guangzhou.  It is the largest park in Guangzhou. The Five-Ram Sculpture in this park is the main attraction. There is a fairy tales regarding this five ram. Other facilities here are amusement park, swimming pool, gymnasium, restaurants  and souvenirs stalls.

Arriving at Baiyun International Airport.  This is a new airport in Guangzhou opened in 2004.

Our second stop over is Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall.  This Memorial Hall is to commemorate Dr Sun Yat-sen the forerunner of Chinese Democracy.

China is famous for its jade.  It is a golden  opportunity to visit a jade factory.

There are many superstores in Guangzhou.  The price of goods are affordable.

In the evening we went for a boat cruise along the third longest river in China, the Pearl river. The river is about  2100 km long.

This is at the entrance of the famous Huasheng mosque built 1300 years ago.

In Guangzhou there are many restaurants and food stalls.   You can explore the Cantonese cuisine and the Turkish cuisine.

My Marvelous London Tour Group.

Touring in foreign country will be more enjoyable and memorable in a small group.  Too big a group will be difficult to control.  In this entry I wish to share my visit to London.

THE FIFTH TENETS OF ISLAM.

The meaning of Islam from its Arabic root word  is peace.  Meaning to say Islam is a peaceful doctrine.  It's the political monger that portray Islam as brutal and terrorist.  This contemporary unscrupulous political leader mislead its followers and the world.  Terrorism is not the teaching of the Koran.

The fifth tenets of Islam is pilgrimage to Mecca.

All Muslims are expected to make at least once  in their lifetime if they are financially able and have good health conditions. Today August the fourth, 2016 Malaysian pilgrims begin to embark the journey to Mecca. This yearly event always make me excited.

The Arafah plain which about 22 km from Mecca. It  is a communal ground for the Hajj.  Where the pilgrim begins it ritual.  This event take place once a year in the last month of the year.  Otherwise it is just a wide and open space.  My wife and I visited the Arafah not in period of Hajj.

My wife and I performed the fifth tenets of Islam in 2007.   The extensive open space is erected with make shift tents for the pilgrims.  In 2007 there were 2.4 million pilgrims congregated here.

Among the gist of the  pilgrimage is to demonstrate all men are equal displayed by wearing the two-piece   unhemmed white sheets. whoever you are be a king or billionaire or  commoner your clothing are the the same unhemmed piece of cloth. 

Bird view of the make shift tents. The tents that accommodated millions of people from various countries, nationals, gender and races. 

All Muslims pray in the direction to Kaaba not worshiping  the Kaaba. Kaaba is a cuboid structure located in the center of the grand mosque in Mecca.  It is the center of world axis.  Circumambulate seven times in counterclockwise around the Kaaba is one of the pilgrimage rituals.
