Fluff Five Meme

I first saw this Fluff Five Meme post into Sulz’ blog. I think it’s getting to know the blogger more personal. And i like it.

Until Dissfunktional tagged me! Thanks Dissfunktional for kindness. By the way I really want to ask why you included me in your tagged? *thinking and waiting for the answer* Does anybody know here? And pardon if it came too late, to post this one. Better late than never, they said.

Anyways, I am blushing because I have to tell everyone of my readers whoever and wherever you what I am always up to and who I am through my fave things through this very cool meme. Tell me what you think?

My PhotoBlog: Check it out!

I am absent for days in blogging, now I am totally back with new blog as well, my photoblog! Yes… I opened this blog last February but I left it idle because the themes do not complement with my taste in photoblog. With the new theme introduced here in wordpress, wow! This is what I really need! I am very excited and uploaded few of my photos kept in my chest. 

China’s new highway opens up remote SE Asia

Article

The prime ministers of Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam officially opened a former opium smuggling route as the final link of what they call the “north-south economic corridor,” a network of roads linking the southern Chinese city of Kunming to Bangkok spanning 1,800 kilometers, or 1,100 miles. It is also known as Route 3.

The new roads, as well as upgraded ports along the Mekong River, are changing the diets and spending habits of people on both sides of the border. China is selling fruit and green vegetables that favour temperate climates to its southern neighbours and buying tropical fruit, rubber, sugar cane, palm oil and seafood. “You never used to see apples in the traditional markets,” said Ruth Banomyong, an expert in logistics who teaches at Thammasat University in Bangkok.

China has blasted shallow sections of the Mekong to make it more easily navigable for cargo barges, allowing traders to ship apples, pears and lettuce downriver. The price of apples in Thailand has fallen to the equivalent of about 20 cents apiece from more than $1 a decade ago. Roses and other cut flowers from China have displaced flowers flown in from Holland, making Valentine’s Day easier on the wallet for Thais. Traders now have the choice of shipping by barge, truck or both.

Organic squash recipe and earth day!

My work allows me to meet and mingle with people of diversity. Most especially, I really enjoy and appreciate to mingle and discover how rural women live on from day to day hardships and activities. So, traveling long hours of uncomfortability on winding, bumpy, and rough roads are worth it after meeting all these people. Because their colourful stories brighten up my day.
