On Wednesday morning we leave Berlin for Paris where we'll be giving a talk and slide show at the OFFF Festival on Thursday at 6pm.
We're thinking of doing a Wooster Collective Meet-up in Paris on Friday at 8pm. Not sure on the location just yet.
Any suggestions? (email woostercollective @gmail.com)

Visit Vietnam

Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is one of the Vietnamese cities more accessible and appealing, mainly because of the abundant amount of people, like taxi drivers who are always ready to tell old stories and adventures of the city’s past.

Visit Vietnam
The city is quite large and has all types of hotels, one of the most economical is the ATS Hotel, now if the economy is not a problem, can stay at the Bao Son Hotel, located near several major attractions of the city.

Village trekking in Tana Toraja

After a few days in Rantepao, in the South Sulawesi uplands of Tana Toraja, we asked a trekking guide to come by the guesthouse to discuss an overnight trip. Under five feet, barrel-chested, chain-smoking, and pushing 50, our prospective guide extended his hand and said in a deep baritone, "My name is Yatim." Fatherless. He wrote out a string of villages he wanted to take us to, and told us to bring water, rain gear, good shoes, a flashlight. The next morning we stopped at the vast market held near Rantepao every six days. Men in batik shirts hand-fed their buffalo. Pigs lay bound in rows, or were carried on bamboo poles. We had a lunch packed, and bought some snacks and kreteks to share along the way.

Thailand Travel Guide


Country and People
Tucked between Myanmar, Laos Cambodia and Malaysia, Thailand is a bag of surprises, thanks to its varied topography. Thailand's northern and north eastern districts are rugged, enjoying pleasant weather, and home to an amazing collection of orchids. The land slopes gradually towards the Gulf of Thailand towards its famed sandy beaches. The peninsular arm of Thailand almost wraps the gulf on its western side, creating long, sandy stretches rated amongst the best in the world.
