| @sobatkelana | Witnessing The Beauty Of The Grand Mosque With The Influence Of Architecture From Various Countries | Indonesia |
This grand mosque was built by a Sultan who once led the Deli Sultanate (while currently in Indonesia the sultanate is no longer in effect because it has implemented a Republic system). However, the legacy of the Sultan in the form of a mosque and palace still stands strong. It is only natural that a sultan wants the best to be remembered and the building materials of this mosque were imported from other countries, through references that I read through Indonesian online newspaper pages.

| @madushanka | 360 Rainforest Restaurant, located close to the Deniyaya Sinharaja Reserve, prioritizes naturalness | Sri Lanka |
Since 360 Rainforest Restaurant is located on a natural road, large vehicles have to park and drive through. The restaurant's name board was attractively made of wood in front of the entrance. Those who wanted an Ayurvedic massage could enter the front as soon as they entered. The benches were made of wood. The roof was thatched with dry coconut leaves. The swimming pool of Sinharaja 360 Rainforest Restaurant, which was located in an environment surrounded by tea plantations, was also built in the front area.

| @jesuslnrs | San Francisco Temple | Venezuela |
The floor of the central aisle is not impressive, but I think it could be solved with a carpet. In the side aisles there are gray and black patterns on a white floor and although I don't have any photographs, in the altar you can appreciate the traditional black and white checkered masonic floor, and I also remember it in the part of the temple inaccessible to the public. The organ is as old as the temple itself, but at least until 2016 when I made music here I remember it was working, and there are not many functional organs left in Caracas.
