Vietnam Trip 2007: December 2007
http://vietnamtrip2007.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 23, 2007. We frequently were driving in the country side, sometimes for three hours at a time, so I have many photos of the motor bikes loads. Like in other countries we visited, many people were after our dollars and we were sometimes overcharged, or targets for street sales – sometimes seemingly out of the middle of nowhere. "Last price, three dollars! On the other hand, I found the Vietnamese more willing to engage with foreigners, and "Where are you from? 8217;t many still alive!

CHINA TRIP - - 2009. Saturday, October 3, 2009. My travel wholesaler in China has made two attempts to view my blog without success. It is possible I'll get to China and discover my site is blocked. By the Chinese Government? If this occurs I will add my posts when I return to the States the last weeknd of October. In any case, I don't anticipate my first post - once I'm in the country - will be before October 18th. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). For More of My Photos of China. OUR OTHER TRIP LINKS.

http://myanmartrip2013.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-tourist-trap.html
Saturday, March 16, 2013. You may notice the many tourists taking photos of the monks on their way to their morning meal. The monks at this monestary (Sasnayaunggyi Kyaung) a thousand monks reside. Unfortunately, there must have been four times that many tourists photographing and josseling each other for a better vantage point. The crowd must have been four or five deep!

MYANMAR 2013: THANAKHA & BETEL NUT
http://myanmartrip2013.blogspot.com/2013/03/thanakha-betel-nut.html
Saturday, March 16, 2013. THANAKHA and BETEL NUT. Thanakha is a paste made by rubbing the bark of the Thanakha tree onto a grindstone with water, and then smearing it on your face. It is used as sun block, moisterizer and perfume. It is worn by all Burmese and is very common, sometimes artfully shaped like a leaf on young, fashion conscious girls. Note that the woman above has her mouth full. She is chewing betel nut which produces a mild stimulant, red teeth and spit. MIKE'S OTHER BLOGS WEBSITES.
