March 22 - Hotel "Golden Peacock" and some new architecture in Lilongwe





These days wireless internet connection that I get through Dongo USB stick was not the best one. In the morning between 7 to 9, I was not able to get a single webpage and in the afternoon and evening connection was pretty much slow. That is the reason I am late with the postings. Uploading high resolution photos using slow internet speed is a big challenge. Sometime I cannot even load blog page, sometimes process starts and then freezes and sometimes it cannot start at all.
Anyway, now I try to upload only two photos at once.
The photos describe "Golden Peacock" hotel and its surrounding. The hotel was built in 2012 by Chinese. My mandarin speaking friends can check it out if the name is correct. Across the hotel on one side there is a brand new mall and on the other side is another same size building as the existing hotel (I guess it will be hotel too).
Lilongwe has some interesting new architecture and is full of green sector between the buildings. The pictures have been taken from my balcony and the terrace on last floor of the hotel.

Ovih dan sam imao dosta problema sa bezicnom internet vezom koju primam preko USB sticka. Ujutro izmedju 7 i 9  nisam mogao ucitati ni najobicniji stranicu kao sto je Google, a popodne i navecer veza je bila veoma veoma spora. To je glavni razlog zasto kadnim sa updateom mog bloga. Poenekad ne mogu uploadati ni sliku, a to je naraocito problem sa slikama visoke rezolucije.
U svakom slucaju sada stavljam samo dvije po dvije slike.
Slijedece slike predstavlja hotel "Zlatni paun" i okolicu hotela. Hotel su izgradili kinezi 2012. goidne. Moji prijatelji koji govore kineski mogu provjeriti da li je naziv tocan. S jedne strane hotela je nalazi novi shopping centar a sa druge strane u izgradnji je ista gradjevina koa i postojeci hotel, pa predtpostavljam da ce to biti jos jedan hotel.
Lilongwe ima novu interasantnu arhitekturu i pun je zelenila iznedju zgrada. Slike su slikane sa mog balkona i sa terase na vrhu hotela.
