Trips are confined to the mines site -- like a walk back in time.

Mines sites tell us that the capitalists are not re-investing their profits back. Up there, time looks as if it has stood still.

I am drawn toward antiquities but not to the lifestyle associated with them if they are still serviceable like this one. Looks like it is difficult to maneuver esp. up along slopes and curves of the mountain roads.

I couldn't tell beyond this period; saw this hunk of a running artifact only at Philex Mines when Jack and I visited the place in October last year.

I was glad going on a "time travel" right in the heart of this highland paradise.
