Visiting China to see the fragile ecosystem of the Pandas

Visiting China to see the fragile ecosystem of the Pandas

Many people go to China to see the legendary pandas. However, one thing to realize is that the majority of the places where people get taken are showing captive animals, often housed in conditions of enormous cruelty. The main focus then when visiting China to see these creatures is to work with companies aware of the ecological and ethical issues at stake here, and who are supporting enterprises which struggled to improve the lot of the dwindling pandas. Pandas are an incredibly peaceful member of the bear family, vegetarian, with a penchant for quantities of bamboo, once in abundance in China’s wilderness. These days, industrial activity, increasing human population, pollution, loss of habitat, are just some of the reasons why the Panda is on the decline. Visiting these animals isn’t just about getting a glimpse of something, as one would in a zoo. It’s about supporting their plight, and bringing awareness to the huge threats Pandas are facing, as their global numbers are now less than 2000. Truly, they are a symbol of the incredible fragility of the natural world. The kind of tours to China which we like make the following commitments. That they make a contribution to the nature reserves they visit,

Ayurvedic Massage with the feet, no less!

Ayurvedic Massage with the feet, no less!

Wanted to mention the most extraordinary massage I had last week, which was done in a traditional Keralan manner, using the feet. Chavutti Thirumal, as it is called, was apparently invented as part of the training and conditioning process of the Kalari warrior class in Kerala, india. Anyway, I found a place in Lewes East Sussex which specialises in this particular form of treatment, so decided to check it out. All I can is is WOW! You can find this phenomenal Massage in Lewes, at Massage Lewes, 66 High Street, Lewes, East Sussex, BN7 1XG,  01273 474527 For 90 mins I lay on my back, whilst the practitioner, a young woman who has trained in India for several years, adorned my torso with medicated oil – smelling something like herbal toffee – then proceeded to suspend herself from ropes, and use the foot to rub the body up and down with long strokes. It felt quite spectacular, and I think it gives the practitioner a much greater strength than the hands alone would allow. This was really an experience more meditative than physical. My entire being dissolved into light after some time and I sort of half woke up at the end of the treatment, as if

Why alkalize: the latest health phenomenon involves simple PH

Why alkalize: the latest health phenomenon involves simple PH

Health gurus have been telling us one thing or the other for years now, offering capsules for this, supplements for that, powders for this, and enemas for something else. Many of these have offered  additional support to immune systems weakened by exposure to 21st century living, but few if any of them have offered any real panacea, or made a substantial difference to health and wellness. Now, however, there may well be a genuine breakthrough. Scientists have discovered that the cells of the body function properly at a slightly Alkaline PH. Stress, as well as the poor dietary choices many of us make in this age of fast food, have the opposite effect on the system: they acidify it, thus bringing imbalance into the PH of the body, and ultimately disease. Akalizing greens, made by Australian company Morlife, are a perfect solution to this problem. Sourced from organic barely grass, wheatgrass, spirulina and chlorella, amongst other things, this health giving mixture of highly alkaline powders surges through the body like the first flush of spring. As a result, your body quickly becomes alklaine, and your health will respond like nothing you’ve ever felt before. There’s nothing radical about this in

How Cambodia’s opening up to become Asia’s hippest tourist destination

How Cambodia’s opening up to become Asia’s hippest tourist destination

Cambodia is becoming one of Southeast Asia’s most exciting tourist destinations. The country was isolated from the outside world for years, but in the 1990s its borders opened up to tourists. Tourism has grown to become a major industry second only to the textile industry. Millions of tourists visit the temples of Angkor close to Siem Reap, the capital city Phnom Penh with its cultural attractions, and the Sihanoukville beaches. This interesting country on the Indochina Peninsula is bordered by Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and the Gulf of Thailand. Its tragic history of the destruction of war is being replaced by the true beauty of stunning scenery, breathtaking temples, and French colonial remnants. There are many different Cambodia tours you can choose from. Several use a form of transportation called a tuk-tuk to see the sights. A tuk-tuk is based on the old traditional human-powered rickshaw where a runner pulls a two-wheeled cart that seats one or two passengers. Today the transport is styled as a motorcycle with a trailer or cabin attached to the rear. In fact, the tuk-tuk is a very common type of urban transportation in Cambodia. Tuk-tuks are a great way to see the temple complex of
