Turris Babylonica: September 2007

http://migdalbavel.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 30, 2007. 昇龍物語 (二) Thăng Long vật ngữ (2). 吃了早餐，一踏出酒店門外，就要一大群電單車騎士在喊 Motor Motor 看來河內不管哪裡只要有外國人就有抱抱電單車拉客。 武王趙佗立南越， 安南志略 說他 稍以詩禮化其民 ，說明那個時候儒家思想已經開始傳入越南了。 後漢書 記載 光武中興，錫光為交趾，任延守九真，於是教其耕稼 制為冠履，初設媒婚，始知姻娶 建立學校，尋之禮義 ，這個時候開始儒家思想的影響力開始紮根了。 越南人一般都稱呼文廟為文廟-國子監(Văn Miếu- Quốc Tử Giám) ，也被當地人稱為 越南第一所大學。 正在我拍照 細心讀着碑文上名字的時候，突然我身邊的靦腆年輕越南男子看着我，用韓語問， 한국사람입니까 (你是韓國人嗎 ). 裡面的展覽品是以年代來展示，最低層的展示了從石器時代 青銅時代，乃至李 陳 黎 莫 西山和阮朝的藝術品，從占婆獅子 天女像到阮朝貴人 仕女彫像，讓人見識了數千年來越南藝術的演變史，最令人驚嘆的是那千手千眼觀音巨像，微妙而莊嚴。 據說， 吉塞爾 是最頂級 最具備高難度的芭蕾劇目...

Sustainable Living: Bangkok: Tamarind Cafe

http://sustainablebangkok.blogspot.com/2008/03/tamarind-cafe.html

Live Green, Live Well. Monday, March 24, 2008. Eating vegetarian in Bangkok isn't especially hard. But it can get a bit monotonous; enter Tamarind Cafe. A vegetarian restaurant with an impressive array of Western and Asian fare, with many items available vegan. I read about the restaurant in the vegetarian section of Not Just a Good Food Guide: Bangkok. Not including drinks, both meals came in around 750-850 Baht. More than we usually spend on a Bangkok meal but about what we would expect to pay back...

PICTURES: HA NOI CAPITAL

http://vnpicture.blogspot.com/2008/07/ha-noi-capital.html

Saturday, 19 July 2008. Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is a fascinating blend of East and West, with Chinese influence from centuries of dominance, and French design from its colonial past. It is largely unspoiled by modern architecture of the 1970s and 80s, and is now going through a modernization that is making it a rising star in Southeast Asia. Most folks arrive at the Noi Bai International Airport, 35 km (45-60 minutes) north of the city. Several airlines run flights from Noi Bai, including:. Public...

Life Out East: February 2007

http://lifeouteast.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html

Back from Thailand. Being dad. Starting all over again. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Adventurous kids and Blood Diamonds. There's a Thai radio station which is basically a talk station. It's a favourite with taxi drivers as they have a lot of info on the various stages of gridlock throughout the city. The kids had slept rough last night and had enough money to buy rice and eggs and some drink. The 9 year old was the spokesperson for obvious reasons and was very confident and not in the slightest bit...

Mel in South Korea: A crazy, wonderful dream...

http://melinsouthkorea.blogspot.com/2011/08/crazy-wonderful-dream.html

Mel in South Korea. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. A crazy, wonderful dream. I knew basically what to expect from Thailand: amazing food, friendly people, and gorgeous scenery. But Vietnam was unknown territory. My only plan was to take the airport minibus to a hostel I had heard good things about and take it from there. When I arrived at Hanoi Backpackers' Hostel. It's been a couple weeks since my trip and everything is starting to run together, but I'll try my best to give day-by-day highlights. That night ...

Mel in South Korea: August 2011

http://melinsouthkorea.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Mel in South Korea. Tuesday, August 23, 2011. An adventure in Korea. A group of 10 of us from Pyeongtaek decided (very wisely) to spend this gorgeous Sunday up north rafting and bungee jumping. I had such an amazing time. We went with the group Adventure Korea who set up bus transport from Seoul, organized rafting, a buffet lunch and bungee jumping for the brave! For me nothing could have gone better that day! A crazy, wonderful dream. At night we went to a bar called Cheeky Quarter that was okay, but fo...

Travelling vegan: December 2007

http://travelling-vegan.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

Tales of a vegan man travelling slowly around the world, a few months in every country. Saturday, 22 December 2007. One more entry before Christmas, this time on a work outing to Henan province. Henan means south of the river, referring to the Yellow River (Huanghe). This was a project kickdown. a project kickdown in Shaolin Temple sounds pretty scary, but we all made it back intact! Shaolin temple also has its own brand of vegan cookies that are available elsewhere in China also, and they're yummy.
