Multiculturalism and Socialism: The Odd Couple
2008-08-30 08:14:00 The latest death toll figures from Hurricane Katrina can be seen on this website here. The famous Russian neo-Nazi video is on this blog here.Updated September 2:In the comments section, Scott, who is a White nationalist, discusses the disconnect between multiculturalism and socialism or social democracy.Yes, we do allow White nationalists, even anti-Black ones, on the board, but every time a cute Black woman shows up on the board, we force them to kiss her. On the lips. On penalty of banning. None have left yet. Brown sugar, how come you taste so good? Scott says: Look at the countries that have the highest index of egalitarianism in the West: Iceland, Norway, Sweden (used to have more). The inhabitants are all pretty closely related to one another. I'll spot my sibling $100 cash.It's basically the same thing but in a less dramatic way in such countries, but when other nationalities come in because of the aforementioned ethnostates' welfare system, as seek to take advantage of ...

Online Photo Exhibition--"An Answerless Search?"
2008-05-11 19:01:00 For the last 9 months, I have called Chiang Mai, Thailand home. Today--May 12th--a sense of anxious accomplishment fills me as I begin my return trip to America. I wouldn't say I am ready to leave this beautiful country nor am I ready to leave the friends and influential people I have had the pleasure to be with; but, I am ready to return to Wisconsin and try and pass on some of what I have gained from Northern Thailand.I have spent second semester at Chiang Mai University studying Introductory Photography with Ajarn Por. It has been an extremely rewarding experience, and I ended up putting many more hours into it than I had originally anticipated. I am deeply grateful to Ajarn Por for his instruction and encouragement throughout the semester. Through the experience of photography I have had the chance to interact with a number of Thai people that I probably would not have met without a camera in my hand and the courage to ask "????????????? (Can I take your photo?)": street mus...

Luang Prabang--a World Heritage Site Worth Your Time
2008-04-08 16:44:00 I had the incredible delight of spending 2 days and 2 nights in Luang Prabang (Lao.co.uk, Lao Embassy, UNESCO World Heritage, Luang Prabang 2 Day, Luang Prabang Travel, Wikipedia, Wikitravel, The New York Times, Travelfish.org). Luang Prabang is a flourishing and small town that is beautifully situated on the banks of the Mekong and Nam Khan Rivers (they converge in Luang Prabang). Unfortunately, I left not getting to see and do everything that I wanted to. Oh well, this just gives me a reason to came back to Laos (a country I am falling in love with!) in the near future.The first night we arrived in Luang Prabang was pretty casual. Kim, Tyler, Sonja, and I decided to find a place to watch the sunset. We didn't have to look far--we walked to Phou Si (Lao translation: Holy Mountin), which is a large hill that rises from the center of the city. Phou Si has temples scattered on all sides, and we made our way up a number of steps to Wat Phra Bat Nua. A handful of younger monks were jok...
A Day on the Mekong--Chiang Khong, Thailand to Luang Prabang, Laos
2008-04-06 13:48:00 An American-style Breakfast was waiting for us when we woke this morning at 8:00a.m.at the Namkhong Guesthouse in Chiang Khong (ChiangKhong.com, iChiangRai.com, Wikitravel, Wikipedia, Travelfish.org. The breakfast and a take away lunch were included in the price of the package that we had purchased from Sabai Tours to get us from Chiang Mai, Thailiand to Luang Prabang, Laos. After breakfast a 9:00 a.m. ferry (also included in the package) took us to Laos across the the Mekong River (Wikipedia.com, Mekong River Commission, InternationalRivers.org, InfoMekong.com, MekongRiver.org), World Wildlife Fund). We obtained Lao Visas at the border for $36.00 (only U.S. dollars are accepted), and a taxi (included in the package) had us on our way to the fast-boat docks in by 10:00 a.m.When we saw what we would be riding in for the next 6 hours, Kim, Tyler, Sonja and I all took a second look. The low-riding boats were made to seat 8 (plus a driver). However, there didn't appear to be much leg r...
Chiang Mai to the Laos Border--an Easy Trip
2008-04-05 16:13:00 A few days before Kim and Tyler arrived I booked a tour package from Sabai Tours that would take us from Chiang Mai, Thailand to Luang Prabang, Laos. We had two options: the fast-boat and the slow-boat. I opted for the fast boat which was a little more expensive--2300 baht vs. 1600 baht. In Pai (Pai Town--Accidents and Hippies blog entry) I had met a girl form Swenden, Sonja, who was interested in joining us for part of our trip through Laos, so I had booked four tickets. The first leg of our package was a 5 hour minibus ride from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong (ChiangKhong.com, iChiangRai.com, Wikitravel, Wikipedia, Travelfish.org)--Chiang Khong is located in Chiang Rai Province and is separated from Laos by the 12the largest river in the world--the Mekong River (Wikipedia.com, Mekong River Commission, InternationalRivers.org, InfoMekong.com, MekongRiver.org), World Wildlife Fund).Today, the minibus ride was easy and comfortable.

Laos' 'Lost Tribe' In Plea For Help
2008-03-13 19:31:00 The truth about America's wars is stark and never told. Here we see the results of our last war. Our allies have been hunted to genocide, few remain alive and clearly they will be wiped out soon. The Shia in Iraq know the fickle nature of the US alliance. They died by the thousands after the first Gulf War. More Iraqis will die every day, and a massacre will surely come after the US military leaves Iraq. Sectarian genocide results from an alliance with the US in war. Read the whole story. Al Jazeera English Al Jazeera's correspondent Tony Birtley travelled in secret to the jungles of northern Laos in search of the last fighters of the CIA's "secret army", a remnant from the days of the Vietnam War. This is his account of his journey.

Laos and Brunei Ratifies the Asean Charter
2008-02-20 18:04:00 Four out of ten countries of ASEAN ratified the 1st Asean Charter, the latest Laos and Brunei with the latter having ratified and submitted the “instrument of ratification” last February 15 before Malaysia.Six more countries are still to ratify the Asean Charter namely - Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam. All six countries have until early December to ratify the Asean Charter before the next ASEAN Summit starts.I am predicting that the next countries to ratify it are Cambodia, Viet Nam, and Indonesia. The first two are where Asean was positively felt the most (being the newest members of the group and as reported in the ASEAN Awareness Survey) and Indonesia as being one of the founder of the grouping and being one of the most active about the Asean Charter (other than Singapore).Congratulations to Brunei and Laos and thank you very much!

Mercado turistico en la frontera con Laos

Sin necesidad de visado ni ningun tipo de documento, nos encontramos realmente en Laos, en un pequeño pueblo levantado para la ocasion, donde todo turista es llevado a que eche un vistazo a la enorme cantidad de souvenirs que ponen delante nuestro como si no hubieramos tenido ya bastante dosis de turismo enlatado. Como no tenia intencion de comprar gran cosa, me pregunte como de lejos podria adentrarme en el pais sin realmente necesitar un visado o algo asi. ¿Donde estaba el puesto de fronteras o aduanas? Dificil de saber, porque aunque ande un ratito por la zona, al final del pueblo se abrian unos caminos que parecian adentrarse en la selva, asi que no era cuestion de perderse y di la vuelta. Creo que mas de alguno de los locales que habia por alli debian alu... |
