Quotes from our contributing authors

"If Vientiane were a lady, I would imagine her to be sophisticated inside but simple and even mysterious in appearance. She would be conservative but curious, shy but friendly and would exude warmth and posses a most special charm."

- Alvin Lee

 

"They didn't claim to be the Kung Fu supermen so many other arts claim to be. Sirum is a sport, not an infallible super martial art. And the Koreans play it better than anyone."

- Antonio Graceffo

 

"Bali's roads, far from being the gray, staid concrete jungle of a wintering Korea, are hung with soft coloured lights and lush green vegetation. They seem cosily cluttered, a jungle of glimpse and murmur. The heat spreads all around, seeping into my winter-dry skin."

- Naomi Arnold
