Rated May 31 2009 • 2 reviews • asia, society • civileats.com

"Here's the very simple idea: send 18 to 40-year-old city slickers to rural communities for a free five-day trip to learn farming, meet local people, and perhaps be tempted to adopt that way of life for themselves. Administrated by an environmental nonprofit group, a grant from the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture paid our food, bullet train fare, lodging & everything (and I'm not even a citizen!). "

Thoughts of a nationalist Indian: Swats descent into...

Rated Mar 28 2009 • 2 reviews • buddhism, history, asia • blogspot.com

The population was put to the sword, the children pressed into slavery, the women forced into the harems of the conqueror, the golden roofed Temples and all the ancient monasteries- "all the old centers of learning-"were sacked. The sisterhood of the ladies of wisdom disappeared, or dispersed. The scholarly monks were slain, the nuns raped, and every single book was thrown to the fire."
