TOKYO SAUDADE- Rost in tLansration

We didn't have enough time to explore everything Tokyo has to offer. We tried to grasp it's every corner with camera or with our mental memory. We wish we had more more days in this amazing city. We will definitely come back again, but so far these are the few of the multiple memories we can share. Our journey started in Tokyo subway. Getting around at first wasn't easy as we don't understand anything in Japanese, but we figured our way to the temples eventually through "foRRow Light and Reft".

TRIBAL MARKETING

Traveling to the northern tribes of Thailand was another unusual experience. Most of them come from Tibetan-Burmese-Chinese origin. Each one has their own culture, language, dress code :) and traditions. Extremely colorful. Rich with goods, poor with teeth...All the different tribes live in small villages, each about 15-20 households( their houses built on stilts, underneath which domestic animals are usually kept). Most of the tribes believe in nature, guardian spirits, soul and supreme substance. Agriculture practice (especially paddy fields) and hand crafting are the main sources for the tribes income. Oh yeah.. and the tourists of course...

Chiang long mai

Reading the NYTimes, while backlogging about the trip, I can not help but think that it was a great timing. However I'm truly worried about this amazing and beautiful country and pray for its quick recovery from the conflict and for its future well being.
