One year ago I went on a strictly guided 7 day-tour in North Korea where they took away my passport and did not allow me to explore anything on my own. North Korea was definitely the weirdest country I had ever visited and throughout that trip I kept wondering what life was like in the neighboring South Korea, because it used to be the same country just over 60 years ago.
To answer my questions, this year I traveled to South Korea and made this video, where I compare my time in the North and my time in the South. I still have a lot of questions about the whole situation, but one thing was clear - the daily lives of the Korean people couldn't be any more different than they are right now.
My favorite books about North Korea:
Dear Leader by Jang Jin Sung -
Escape From Camp 14 by Blaine Harden -
Nothing To Envy by Barbara Demick -
1984 by George Orwell (I couldn't believe how similar some things in North Korea felt to the ones in the book) -

NEPAL- THE most beautiful country in the world ( visit nepal 2011)
Nepal is country of mount Everest, birth place of lord Buddha, 60 ethnic group, 92 spoken language, 3000 temples,1200 monasteries and lamasteries, 10 world heritage site and many more. Nepal is one of the most beautiful place in the world, with in the area of 147181 sq km a person can find diverse landscape, people, religion, wild life. world 8 of 14 tallest mountain lies in Nepal. really their is no place like Nepal, Nepal is heaven on earth.
Nepal is a country lying between China on the North and India on the South. It is a landlocked country on the collision zone between two plates, so large mountain ranges are formed in the creasing including the Pahar Hill region and the Mountain region, both with large altitudes and populated valleys. Tourism is especially large in Mount Everest and a large amount of conflict has arisen there as we will study later. Mountaineers with ambitions to travel, view and climb the spectacular slopes come in their ten thousands. 39% of the GDP comes from agriculture; 76% of people use it as their principle employment. Services (which would include tourism) equal 42% and industry 21%. The lack of natural resources means that agriculture is the main primary industry, while tourism probably the main tertiary. Main exports are clothing, leather, jute goods and grain.
There are lots of places to visit in Nepal. That is why people often term Nepal as a place where there are more temples than houses. Similarly because of Gods and Goddesses we term it as a place where the number of gods and goddess is more than the population of people.
Inside the Kathmandu Valley, there is lots of sight seeing. For example, you can go to Kasthamandap which was build of one tree, Pashupatinath of the capital and several other temples, historical places and monuments.
However, one of the most amazing thing of the Kathmandu Valley is the excellent view of the valley from all the hilltops. Similarly when one goes outside of the valley, he or she can see countless natural beauties never explored. Tourists stare with amazements of the gift of God to the Himalayan Kingdom. Nepal is a must visit place.
Nepal is well known for its natural beauty, mighty Himalayas, diverse culture and cheerful face of people. These qualities made Nepal a unique place giving high potentialities for the growth of tourism industry. Tourism is not new phenomena, however, making tourism a dynamic sector of economy and accepting it as a vehicle of poverty reduction is certainly relatively new and timely thinking. There are a number of ways that tourism can help the economy make better performance. Physically it contributes to accelerate national development through expansion of infrastructure; economically it contributes to generate employment that helps uplift the living conditions of local people. It generates revenue, contributes to the growth of GDP and helps earn foreign exchanges, which again are directly or indirectly linked to poverty alleviation in the country.
Natural, cultural and manmade heritages are important to flourish tourism sector but more than that visionary plan, coordinated program and adequate resources to implement the plan and programs play important role to really make the tourism sector a vehicle of poverty alleviation. As the role of the government has gone sea change during the last decade of twentieth century, private sector should come to the fore of economic growth. Government alone is not there to serve people; there are multiple actors, such as, local government, private sector, and community organizations.
Nepal is one of the richest countries in the world in terms of bio-diversity due to its unique geographical position and altitude variation. The elevation of the country ranges from 60 meters above sea level to the highest point on earth, Mt. Everest at 8,848 meters, all within a distance of 150 kilometers resulting in climatic conditions from sub-tropical to arctic.
This wild variation fosters an incredible variety of ecosystems, the greatest mountain range on earth, thick tropical jungles teeming with a wealth of wildlife, thundering rivers, forested hills and frozen valleys. Within this spectacular geography is also one of the richest cultural landscapes anywhere. The country is a potpourri of 101 ethnic groups and sub-groups who speak over 92 languages and dialects. Nepal offers an astonishing diversity of sightseeing attractions and adventure opportunities found nowhere else on earth. And you can join in the numerous annual festivals that are celebrated throughout the year in traditional style highlighting enduring customs and beliefs.

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started “travel hacking” and taking more trips together and finally decided we wanted to travel for one year. After 2 years of saving $ and travel hacking over 2 million miles and points, we sold our cars and apartment and left January 10, 2016. We started this YouTube channel to share our experiences with friends and family, then decided we really liked vlogging and traveling. So we extended our 1 year trip to THREE years :) Now we have a goal of traveling to 100 countries before Nate turns 30 (which is March 20, 2019)! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
Picking cotton from the fields, India
A farmer and his wife collect cotton from their fields in Rajasthan, India. The woman collects cotton within a fold in her saree and then dumps it onto a collection sheet on the ground. The man manually collects the cotton while a goat randomly passes by!
Udaipur district is one of the 33 districts of Rajasthan state in western India. It is bounded on the north by Rajsamand District, on the east by Chittaurgarh District, on the southeast by Banswara District, on the south by Dungarpur District, and on the southwest by the state of Gujarat. It is part of the Mewar region of Rajasthan.
Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective capsule, around the seeds of cotton plants of the genus Gossypium. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. The botanical purpose of cotton fiber is to aid in seed dispersal.
The plant is a shrub native to tropical and subtropical regions around the world, including the Americas, Africa, and India. The greatest diversity of wild cotton species is found in Mexico, followed by Australia and Africa.
The fiber is most often spun into yarn or thread and used to make a soft, breathable textile. The use of cotton for fabric is known to date to prehistoric times; fragments of cotton fabric dated from 5000 BC have been excavated in Mexico and Pakistan. Although cultivated since antiquity, it was the invention of the cotton gin that so lowered the cost of production that led to its widespread use, and it is the most widely used natural fiber cloth in clothing today.
Indian cotton scenario
India was recognised as the cradle of cotton industry for over 3000 years (1500 BC to 1700 AD). India produces finest and beautiful cotton fabrics since time immemorial. India, being the earliest country in the world for domesticated cotton production and manufacture of cotton fabrics, has led today's first in cotton cultivated area and second in production among all cotton producing countries in the world next to China (as per production record in 2009 - 10).
India is the 15th largest economy in the world with a GDP of USD3.319 trillion and a GDP per capita of USD2,900. In 2008, the textile sector contributed about 14% of industrial production, 4% of the GDP and provided direct employment to over 33 million people. The textile sector is the second largest provider of employment after agriculture.
Cotton is one of the principal crops of India and plays a vital role in the country's economic growth by providing substantial employment and making significant contributions to export earnings. The cotton cultivation sector not only engages around 6 million farmers, but also involved another about 40 to 50 million people relating to cotton cultivation, cotton trade and its processing.

Coffee with a Conscience At Red Rooster Coffee Roaster our mission begins with social, environmental and economic consciousness. Every step of our process is developed by first listening to our conscience and basing decisions on our desire to enact change for the better. Fortunately, by bringing you the highest quality coffee available we are also able to help farmers across the world make a living wage and reduce our impact on the environment.
Here are just a few examples of how our company strives to make a difference: * Currently, all of our coffees are Fair Trade Certified. By choosing a FairTrade certified product, you are directly supporting a better life for farming families through fair prices, direct trade, community development, and environmental stewardship. * We currently buy only organic green coffee. However, we are NOT currently an organic certified manufacturer. Purchasing organic coffees assures that both laborers and the watersheds they drink from and plant crops on are kept free of dangerous pesticides. * Our in house bulk bags are 100% biodegradable and 100% recyclable, with the exception of the tin-tie. Our in house sample cups are compostable as well. * All of our bags are printed with water-based ink by FloydEcoPrint, meaning no environmentally harmful plastisol. * Instead of more bags, we give our regional wholesale customers recyclable steel tins to be refilled whenever they need. * We believe in re-use. For example, both of our doors are made from the salvaged floor joists of our renovated retail space by co-owner and master woodworker Benjie Osborne. Also, our burlap jute bags are made into handbags and reusable bean totes. * We donate our nitrogen rich chaffe to a local organic farm for use in their compost heap, helping those growing veggies stay up late.
Red Rooster Coffee Roaster's future commitments to social, environmental & economic good. * We hope to join a direct trade cooperative to further our goal of paying farmers a living wage. * We will join Coffee Kids in order to give some of our own profits to an organization dedicated to helping coffee growers and their families. * We hope to be a certified organic manufacturer by 2011.
