Quotes from our contributing authors

"These people live a tough life. Some live on boats, with no choice but to use the water for cooking and bathing. They eke out an existence selling food or handcrafts and rarely set foot on land. They work so hard and have so little, yet they’re the most generous, hospitable people I’ve ever come across. The western world could learn a lot from such people."

- Justine Southwick

"The next morning came with a gloomy sky unlike those of typical Philippine days. My dog acted strangely as he sensed something wrong. Something unexpected was indeed going to happen..."

- David Eric Poarch

"Children, who by western standards would be watching late-night cartoons or curled up in bed, feverishly bag cans of sweaty Red Bull and wrap cheap bottles of liquor in newsprint for tourists eager to spend their over-inflated dollars."

- Danielle Bell

"They didn't claim to be the Kung Fu supermen so many other arts claim to be. Sirum is a sport, not an infallible super martial art. And the Koreans play it better than anyone."

- Antonio Graceffo

"Once the rain stopped, the tents were efficiently assembled by Sherpas. Mount Kailash glimmered in the twilight sky. The snow-capped peak turned orange and then golden. As the moon rose, its radiance engulfed the dark night with its magical blaze. I was in heaven. There was nothing that could ever match this feeling."

- Nayna Chakrabarty
