Geocache Description:

The Cache is located in a separate Island connected by a famous long bridge, one of the most popular tourist attraction in the country.

The area features a monument bearing the proud and mighty strand of the national hero. Within the area, you will also find an obelisk, representing a conqueror and in honor of his country. The area is typically located near the shorelines. There is no fee to enter the the historical area.

Near the area, you get to enjoy the fresh and scrumptious seafoods that you can every imagine. Sometimes they call this place "shoot-to-kill" But I never knew why they called it that way.

To authenticate your find, please answer the following questions:

1. Who is the person standing proudly infront of the given Coordinates?

2. Facing the person standing mightly, get a glimpse on the left part of where you stand, and you will find a terra-cota roofed canopy housing another memorial and historical marker. Make you way to that marker, it is about 40 meters from where the coordinates are indicated. Inside the Canopy, you will also find a panoramic painting of the event that transpired in that area.
a) At the center of the painting, indicate if the person looking down is wearing a helmet or not.
b) At the back of the stone marker just below the painting, there is also a metal plate with descriptions of the event that transpired. At the bottom of the plate is the year of when the plate was created. Provide the date indicated. Also from the description, indicate what was the date the the first circumnavigation of the earth was completed.

3) Check out from the locals why the nearby area is called "shoot-to-Kill" and why they called it that way.

Please email your answers to me. With your correct answers to the questions, you can then post your find after you receive my confirmation.
