 | Manzshir, ger camp by sachara Near the area of the Manshir Monastery we stayed in a ger camp on a beautiful spot surrounded by mountains. The camp is near a ugly restaurant (in the form of a church-mosque) in complete disharmony with its environment, developed by Japanese and constructed by Chinese, opposite a golf-course in development. The view from the roof of the tower of the restaurant is fabulous, not seeing the building itself. Anyway we enjoyed also the wodka and... [read more] |

 | Lotus Lantern Festival by izsak02 We participated in this festival as part of Buddha's Birthday Celebration. It was very busy and a lot of fun. We made our own lanterns... and stole the discarded ones, and we also experienced some Buddhist stuff. Lots to do and entertainment for kids and adults. Get off at Jonggak Station of Seoul Line 1 and start the fun from there. The parade was held at night in Seoul, from Dongdaemun Station to Jonggak Station... up on the road of course....

9 DAYS - and COUNTING - to the start of the race - and the team has been named - MEET THE VT ADVENTURERS!!!
ant1606, frankcanfly, JohnSakura, Laurel914,
By the looks of this fantastic four, we know the trip will be fun and victorious!
YEA Team!!!
If you haven't read up on this wild adventure across the Caucasus Mountains, go to Caucasian Challenge. It’s an exciting and whacky race starting in Budapest, Hungary on August 30 and concluding September 15 in Yerevan, Armenia. The team representing VirtualTourist will be handing out special picture cards as they meet members, and potential members, along the way. So, if you’re anywhere in the vicinity, you could cheer our group on as it crosses eleven countries on its way to the finish line. If you get a picture of the team as it passes by, we’ll send you a special VT gift.
We hope the new team carries on the tradition set by the victors of the Autorickshaw Challenge of 2008 led by our own General Manager, Giampiero Ambrosi.
The Caucasian Challenge and Autorickshaw Challenge is sponsored by the same charitable organization.

Charity starts at Home – in the UK
Yes, a couple of our charitable UK VT members, Deus_Ultima, from Northwich, Cheshire, and Kierk1, from Portstewart, Northern Ireland, both donate their time as Little League coaches. And now, due to their friendship on VT, are bringing their two teams together for a week of competition in Portstewart. August 5 through the 9th are the dates and will be particularly exciting since this will be the first time out of England for some of these Year 7 through Year 9 Cheshire students. Besides the travel being a life changing experience, the generosity of Kierk1’s team in donating equipment is the really special aspect of this wonderful event.
Thanks guys for being such a great example for a your groups of youngsters
Another tragedy hits one of our members
Death is inevitable; however, when the natural order of life changes its course, it makes the pain even greater. Member 6HARRYJAMESSR recently lost his beloved 31 year old son, Nathan. Nathan who is pictured and honored on his father’s pages, was proud of his Navajo heritage and culture and was adept in the American Indian Pow-wow Fancy Dance. He leaves behind a beautiful 11 year old daughter, Jayden.
We’re so sorry for your loss, Harry. Our thoughts are with you and your family. VT
