If you are in doubt, click here! The Monk's 10 recommended articles on the world's most circled places! (Travelogue section)

Recently, after more than eight months of writing, "Takahiro Shaku's Circumnavigation of the World," finally came to an end.

And when we counted the articles we had written, the volume of the main articles alone exceeded 150.

It would be quite a pain for the reader to read all of this from the beginning.

However, even if you skip over them, you may end up not knowing which article to read at all.

So, this article is titled Recommended Articles (Travelogue section), and is purely a round-the-world article of mine.The TravelerIn this article, we have carefully selected 10 articles from all the articles that we have enjoyed as a "one-stop-shop" for the purpose of introducing them to you again.

So let's get started.

1. Walking in the Land of Africa - A spectacular walking safari Tanzania Part 6

This article is a written account of my walking safari experience in Tanzania, the first country in my round-the-world journey.

Walking in the African wilderness that I had longed for with my own feet...it was a moment that touched me deeply, as I knew that such a feeling would not be easy to experience.

The overwhelming scenery, and the sound of the wind, the smell of the grass, the animals...everything felt like another world.

Wonderful Hagia Sophia - even under repair!　Turkey Part 3.

The second article is about Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.

Turkey, a country I stopped by on my way to Israel after my stay in Tanzania.

Although my stay in Hagia Sophia was short, it left a great impression on my memory. Hagia Sophia was a major factor in this.

Unfortunately, it was under repair when I visited, but it was still overwhelmingly powerful and beautiful.

It was truly something that left me speechless.

I regret that I was not able to take my time in Turkey, as I was almost rushing around the city. I would love to see Hagia Sophia again. I still think about it keenly.

It was that beautiful and overwhelmingly powerful.

3. beautiful even up close! The Dome of the Rock, a Muslim holy site, Israel ⑬.

Jerusalem is the holy city of the world's three major religions.

The most prominent of these is the golden dome of the rock.

In my journey to explore the roots of religion, Jerusalem is inescapable.

Jerusalem has been a place I have wanted to visit since I was a university student when I started studying religion. Jerusalem was a place I had dreamed of visiting for many years.

In Jerusalem, the Dome of the Rock, the holiest site of Islam, has been a particular longing of mine.

Why this place became a holy place for Islam is also presented in this article.

4. A good place to stroll in Prague! St. Mikuláš Church in Marastrana - Statues with an overwhelming presence Czech Republic Part 10

The fourth article is about St. Mikuláš Church in Prague.

Prague was so beautiful and pleasant.

I would say it was my favorite city of my trip.

If you are wondering where to go abroad, I recommend Prague. It is such a wonderful city.

Even in this wonderful Prague, I was particularly struck by St. Mikuláš Church, which is the subject of this article.

The interior decoration of the church is outstanding, as are the statues that are enshrined there. The vivid expressions on the faces of the statues, captured at exquisite moments, will leave you speechless.

And yet, for some reason, there are few tourists, so you can view the temple in a relaxed atmosphere.

We really had a wonderful time.

This place is a hole in the wall. If you are going to Prague, please go there.

Barcelona is known for its Sagrada Familia.

This huge and famous building has been introduced by countless media.

However, when I actually went to the site and entered the Sagrada Familia, I was filled with an inexpressible emotion.

Although the Sagrada Familia is famous for its unique exterior and immensity, it was the interior spaces that particularly impressed me.

This article describes the excitement of that time.

10. Takahiro Ueda, unable to keep up with the Cuban people's joviality, falls asleep in Cuba.

The last act I would like to introduce is one in Cuba.

The Caribbean Latin groove was as cheerful as the rumors.

This caused me to suffer culture shock and fall asleep in the last country I was in.

But looking back on it now, it is also a good memory. It was an experience in Cuba that left a strong impact at the end.
