  • Southeast Asia in 2011: A Year of Protest

    Mong Palatino
    3 Jan 2012 | 9:28 am
    The Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street are localized protests that still made a tremendous impact in the world in 2011. They were organized in response to place-specific issues, but their appeal and influence were immediately global. In Southeast Asia, Global Voices was able to feature several protest movements in 2011 that echoed the radical politics of Arab Spring and Occupy. Malaysia’s Bersih (Clean) was the most outstanding protest event of 2011 in the region. The event, which was initially organized to ask for very sensible and doable electoral reforms (e.g. cleaning up of the…

    3 Jan 2012 | 4:38 am
    I've had a bit of a blog break visiting the old "home" in Vietnam. Circumstances meant that there wasn't a heck of a lot of photography going on but there are more than enough Vietnam pictures on this blog to make up for that.It's the first time I've left India since settling here exactly 166 days ago (acording the the man's widget on his phone). I never know how I really feel about a place until I leave and return to it. Vietnam was entirely familiar, like a comfy pair of shoes and it was great to go back to old haunts and old friends. It felt good to be back in India though but I realise…

Children are different though, I am perfectly comfortable interacting with them with a camera in between us. Here are a few kids I took pictures of in the Maharashtran countryside.One day I'll get over my difficulty in taking direct portraits of adults, but until then there are always children and animals.

  • Flowers Trump Food in Bali

    stickyrice
    12 Jan 2012 | 10:11 am
    There is food in this post. Something will be eaten. But first, admire the floral world of Bali. It deserves attention, for flowers seem to consume time here much like the preparation of a meal. They command market space almost equal to that taken up by the produce we put in our mouths. They are handled with a care verging on sanctity. Wandering the boxes, crates and baskets of the Ubud Central Market one early morning, the evidence is clear. Flowers and petals are traded equally as routinely as rice or mangoes, or peanuts, or salt. One gets the sense that the floral transaction at a Bali…

    Bali is not Vietnam when it comes to street food. It has other things to recommend it. Like the smiling faces of the locals. Not just those who can say "G'day mate" like an Aussie and shunt a beer lodged in a stubbie holder down the bar or those who can speak strine better than the bogans who taught them. It's also the locals driving the noodle carts on Bali's notorious south-west coast, those not regularly trading their threads in English, but instead in a sequence of shy gestures and broad smiles. And me, I'm pointing and smiling, too.

The autumn buzz on the streets of Hanoi is a sign that the summer hibernation is officially over and Tết (the lunar new year) is closing in. Ten years of existence here and not only are my southern hemisphere bio-rhthyms all arse-up but I'm also book-ending my years with talk of lunar new years rather than Christmases.

    I'm not sure how much bún chả emissions contribute to the greenhouse effect or if Hanoi's numerous vendors would be subject to participation in future carbon trading schemes. I do care about the environment but not so much that I want to see traditional grilling methods banned, the bún chả experience gentrified or moved off the street into the kitchen. I like the smell of bún chả fumes. And I recently inhaled the smoke that drifted from what I now consider to be Hanoi's best bún chả barbeque. My previous favourite has been usurped.

    My breakfast comes wrapped in recycled office paper and a banana leaf. Then, a plastic bag!  I'm eating thrice-wrapped sticky rice, this blog's namesake and a staple of the morning street food scene in Hanoi. The vendor is crouched behind a row of motorbikes parked on the footpath, only really noticeable because of the scrum of customers surrounding her, calling down orders, leaning in to check on portioning. As the street vendor and the customer have what might be called a fractious relationship in Hanoi, there is reproach…

    Last week I mentioned that my team and I are thinking about starting up a new branch of our work, focused on rescuing Vietnamese people who have been trafficked into China.We've already completed a few rescue trips - the first was in 2007, and the most recent was in December - but it's always been in response to a particular call for help rather than part of any plan. We don't have any funding for these trips, or staff. We just do them when we need to, and so far they've worked really well.From our earliest days, I've always seen Blue Dragon's role as looking out for the kids who nobody else…

    Last night I attended the first ever Saigon Heat basketball game in Saigon.  It was pretty cool. The Saigon Heat are the newest addition to the Air Asia ASEAN Basketball League in Southeast Asia.  There were cheerleaders, a guy getting the crowd to cheer and throwing T-shirts into the stands, advertisements and TV cameras.  The quality of play was surprisingly good.   Great job Connor Nguyen and Henry Nguyen for having the vision and drive to make Saigon Heat a reality!  I'm buying tix for the home games.

    Dave Skowronski speaks to the Vietnamese media about footy. In November of last year, the Vietnamese magazine, Nam Cham caught up with the Swannies’ David Skowronski (SOS) to learn about Aussie Rules. It’s always interesting to listen to a lay person’s impression of Aussie Rules and how they explain it to another lay person. The article takes an in depth look at Aussie Rules: the rules and what differentiates it from other sporting codes, the team mascots, the excitement, the atmosphere, the  “festival” of the finals series etc. Importantly, the article…
