Quotes from our contributing authors

"Manut now fixes a hypnotic stare on the three cobras, whose jewel-speckled necks are flaring with anger. Then he clasps them with a lightening movement of his hands. The audience is about one meter from the action, and obviously enjoying the intimate environment of Mae Rim Snake Farm."

- Ivan T. Brecelic

"Not every sight or moment is picture-postcard perfect and rightly so. This is Bangkok, a city where the less fortunate young and old hold up a dirty plastic cup for your spare baht, and where the humid air and chocking traffic could lead you to pop an antidepressant."

- Sim Jui Liang

"This is Japan, and unruliness is only tolerated for so long. Once again we are separated, us and them, as we walk the streets back to our apartments. The stares and double takes as we pass people remind us that we are still foreigners."

- Samantha Stokell
