Quotes from our contributing authors

"Five golden statues faced benignly through the open front wall out across the valley, three of them representing the past, present and future Buddha. Hanging paintings – paper or cloth, unframed and unmounted – lined the walls with stylised but lively, intensely detailed scenes of gods and kings."

- Jennifer Barclay

 

"By the evening, the dusty wind had died down and the air had become fresh and wholesome. As I traversed the boardwalk across the great field that cuts through the city, I was astounded by the immensity of the twilit prairie sky."

- Matthew Crawford

 

"I had my back up against the other travelers - bush and potential danger to either side - when the perplexed monster faltered less than 2 meters away. I wasn't feeling at all like Harrison Ford. Blinking he drooled and flicked out his tongue, eyeing me as a tasty treat."

- Stephane Jones
