Argentina is one of the largest countries in South America and it would probably take several months of exploring to do the country full justice. However, Pete R, who is travelling solo around the world, took a month to explore the country and has come up with this magnificent memento of his travels around Argentina. It takes in Buenos Aires, Bariloche, Patagonia, Ushuaia and also the majesty of Iguazu Falls. Sit back and take in the diversity and spectacle of a country that should possibly be on everyone’s bucket list!
Between 1405 and 1433, during the Ming era, Chinese Admiral Zheng He, who was also the court eunuch, commanded seven expeditionary voyages as far away as East Africa and Middle East. These expeditions, known in Chinese history as the treasure voyages, consisted of hundreds of ships of enormous dimensions carrying a crew as large as 28,000 and great amounts of treasures. The purpose of the voyages were to project Chinese power and wealth to the outside world, as well as to establish imperial control over the maritime trade.
