🥇 The First Blossoms of Spring - Sansuyu Village Icheon by @abitcoinskeptic

Sansuyu Village dates back to between 100 and 500 years ago. It is centred around a small Confucious shrine, a temple and of course, lots of sansuyu trees. The historical center of the village is this Confucious shrine. It is called Yukgeojung 육괴정(六槐亭) and is said to be where the spirits of saints from the Joseon dynasty dwell.

🥈 Visiting Multi-tiered Waterfall in Gitgit Village, Bali, Singaraja by @putu300

After driving for about 2 hours from Denpasar (the capital city of Bali) I arrived in Gitgit village in northern part of the island. Being in on the slope of mountain areas, there are some waterfalls in this village. For this post, I would share with you about my trip to the multi-tiered water fall.From the parking area, there was a small path to the waterfall. There was also the entrance ticket counter in the parking area. People need to buy ticket to get to the waterfall. The ticket price was about USD 2.

🥉 Geisha - sand sculpture by @ammonite

This is one of those cases where a misspoken word can lead you to a more interesting result.When asked what I would make for the 2008 Festival of world cultures project in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland I had said I would make a Geisha ( in my mind I thought I was referring to Ganesha, that Indian God with the head of an elephant) For me I believed it would be a nice sculpture to make and tie in well to the cultural diversity of the project. When the organisers said that was a great idea and that some of them would be coming to perform a tea making ritual at the festival I was wondering what they were talking about.
