One associates Laos with peace, tranquility, calmness & very welcoming people. It’s a landlocked country, where the Mekong winds itself through deep forests, mountain ranges and finally down into the low lands. Monks gather along the shores of the Mekong and it almost seems like, time stands still in this part of the world. As a former French colony, the French-Indochine feeling is very present to this day.
Ghana 2010
Ghana is home to a number of diverse people and cultures, coexisting in a rapidly modernising country. It’s a land of proud people and a destination full of history and relaxation. The country is frequently labelled as ‘Africa for Beginners’, yet getting around is by no means easy. Still, you’ll be able to choose between tropical jungles, the Sahel zone in the North, white sandy beaches in the South or bustling city life when travelling to this destination on the Black Continent.
Food
On our numerous journeys all over the world, we’ve come across all sorts of food and “delicacies”. Some of them have made it onto our personal menu list, while others were eye-candy for our lens.
Barbers
If you’re travelling through India, you’ll notice that the hairdressers you’ll pass along the streets are barbers for men only. Lady hairdressers are mostly hidden behind closed doors or curtains. If you insist enough though, even a local barber will give you a nice wash and blow dry … and if you’re really lucky (and you’re up for it) even a haircut. Don’t worry, hair grows again… after all, no risk, no fun.
Austria
Our home country has much more to offer than The Sounds of Music, Mozartkugeln and Waltz. Austria’s landscape varies from open plains to high mountains, from steppe to deep forests, from small lakes to large rivers and neat little villages to the world famous Vienna.
