Making Incense



Vietnam: Just a quick clip from Hue where we got to see a lady making incense. You can tell this isn't her first time.

Thailand: We had an amazing time at this camp just outside of Kanchanaburi. Check out their website if you're interested in finding out more about them and what they're trying to do with old and abused elephants: Click Here

Cormorant Fishing in Yangshuo



China: It doesn't look like a very efficient method of fishing to me...but what do I know, eh?

Beijing Circus



China: These kids were amazing. The video only captures a small fraction of how talented this group was.

Well worth the money.

Spontaneous Irish Dancing



IRELAND: We wandered into this pub to hear some Irish music in Oughterard and were treated to this little girl's sweet moves.

Damn she was good.

Red Pyramid



EGYPT: This is what the inside of a pyramid looks like. After a long and narrow angled descent from the outside, you arrive at the point where the video begins. The wooden stairway at the end of the second chamber leads to the elevated burial room of Sneferu, Khufu's father (he of the Great Pyramid at Giza fame). You also get a quick glimpse of the massive corbel-vaulted ceiling in the first chamber. The amount of weight it's holding back is astounding.

Panama Canal



PANAMA: This is Shannon's favorite clip. She took this movie of a movie at the Miraflores Locks Visitor's Center and it gives you an idea of what it's like to traverse the canal...all in about 2 minutes.
