This is Goryokaku Star Fort, a 19th century fort in Hakodate, Japan. One of only two European-style star forts in Japan, Goryokaku has since been converted into a public park. It's also one of the best cherry blossom viewing spots in Hokkaido! πŸŒΈπŸŒΈπŸŒΈπŸ―πŸ―πŸ―πŸ‡―πŸ‡΅
Somewhere in South Africa, along the Garden Route, we came across this huge warthog sign on the side of the highway. We didn't see any of the little piggies along the way, but this rare street sign was a great discovery nevertheless! πŸ—πŸ·πŸ”ΊπŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦

Shakespeare and Co Bookshop in Paris, a classic old bookshop near the Notre Dame de Paris. Opened in 1951, it specialises in selling English books, and lets people sleep in the store in exchange for work (and contributing to their 'tumbleweeds' diary)!
This piece of Penang street art by @ernestzacharevic is The Boy and his Motorbike, located on Ah Quee Street. It uses a real motorbike fixed against the old unused door to give this work a real life quality. Painted against the beautiful faded red wood of the door, a young boy relaxes on the motorbike seat wearing an oversized helmet.
