“Zottel is Back”- Alps, Switzerland – John Wilhelm – Featured Photographer As with many great photographs, John has not only created an emotion with his photo, but also leads the viewer into an imaginary story written in their own mind. I hope this photo makes you smile. I certainly did when I opened it. At first, I thought “what a silly goat chewing on a flower”. Then I realized this was only the beginning of the destruction. I assume by now that entire field of daisies has been reduced …

Back to our trip along the Mekong. Our host was a funny lady and cracked jokes all along the way – she was also a bit handy with the bamboo and made many different things out of the strips by plaiting them together Rings with a stone, bracelets, flowers with hanging crickets from the end - very talented. The riverside is a fascinating place and we saw all sorts of businesses plying their trade to the boat people – including a dexlux coffin making shop! Next stop on our river trip - the Klongs of the Mekong

~Featured Writer: Lynda Renhamcook~ Read more of Lynda Renhamcook at http://lrcook.wordpress.com/ Having left England on a cold December day, I arrived at Siem Reap in Cambodia on Christmas day late in the evening. The heat hit me immediately. As I was still wearing my warm clothes I was quite relieved to feel the cool breeze on my face as I took my first Tuk Tuk ride to my accommodation. I had never been to Cambodia before and I was struck by the poverty of the country almost straight away. My stepson …
A great base for exploring the floating markets of the Mekong and the backwaters of the Klongs. The town has a bustling market that sells just about everything one could need for your DIY enthusiast and the food night market based along the riverside makes for good dining at affordable prices. As soon as we arrived someone was giving us the hard sell for the markets and eventually we negotiated a price that everyone was happy with. We opted for the longer tour and I’m glad we did as we saw a …
