Fighting for Gay Rights Across South East Asia. I joined a new project team at the Cambodian Center for Human Rights (CCHR) at an exciting time. SexualOrientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Project. Works to help the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in Cambodia, particularly those living in rural areas who are misunderstood and mistreated. Part of our work is to collaborate with partners from other countries to share ideas and work together for change. 8211; an annual Malaysian sex...

Bransdale Mill | Positive Jamming
http://positive-jamming.blogspot.com/2012/08/bransdale-mill.html
Following the winding road from Thirsk past the spectacular ruins of Riveaulx Abbey the scenery gives a flavour of fairytale England with flower ringed stone cottages, quaint hilltop churches, Postman Pat and Lord of the Manor. For a few weeks this summer I have found myself as a part time mini-bus driver, roaming the North Yorkshire Moors. Bransdale Mill is an 18. The dial is inscribed with the words:. A modern water-wheel which powers the local farm. Time and life is over swiftly…. Has now found a seco...

Back to Basics: Pitbull Incidents & Pot Noodles | Positive Jamming

Back to Basics: Pitbull Incidents and Pot Noodles. It’s always going to be strange returning to an old place of work, more so returning after a 5 year break to the same office with the same chaos of shelved paper folders some of which spookily have my handwriting scrawled on the sides (probably untouched since I left). The same receptionist, cleaner, porter, administrator and catering staff. Uncanny familiarity, glimmers of recognition.same, same but different (more aged and jaded). The weekly assessment...

Dragon Ladies of Myanmar. Inle Lake, Myanmar. Mighty Himalaya, Nepal. Pushkar Camel Fair 2011, India. Pushkar Camel Fair, 2011. A Trip to the Circus. Kho Phi Phi Don - finding The Beach. Lots of Rules in the Hotels of Bangkok. Phlittering into the amusement park of the Land of Thais. Jump into a pink glittery car, lights flickering and flashing, and tuk tuk ride around bonkers Bangkok town. Sex and sleaze wafting in the breeze. So ringmasters keep order with the stringent rules. Just another colour coded...

Hackney to Turkey | Phlitterings
http://phlitterings.blogspot.com/2013/05/hackney-to-turkey.html
Living in the Turkish outpost of Hackney for several years I’ve long been intrigued to visit the homeland. Whilst visiting Turkey the familiarity of Hackney is comforting, sheesh and a bottle of Efes for tea, shopping at the green grocer’s or being meticulously groomed at the barber. Arriving on Saturday evening into Istanbul and meeting up with friends from London it could be a night out in Dalston. Travellers and refugees pause with anticipation and sychronise at this entrance to new continents. We are...

Dragon Ladies of Myanmar. Inle Lake, Myanmar. Mighty Himalaya, Nepal. Pushkar Camel Fair 2011, India. Pushkar Camel Fair, 2011. Ups and Downs on The Road. Freedom, changing my environment when I get bored. Change, change and stimulation of the senses. Time to read, write and reflect. People smiling at you as if you’re a celebrity. Learning about the world. Cheap shaves, massages and fruit shakes. Activities – hiking, cycling, kayaking. Hiring scooters and stopping in random villages. Not having a kitchen.

Dragon Ladies of Myanmar. Inle Lake, Myanmar. Mighty Himalaya, Nepal. Pushkar Camel Fair 2011, India. Pushkar Camel Fair, 2011. And we arrive in the final country of our trip. The final border crossing and it’s rather wild west style. Hello Cambodia, hello corruption. The immigration official claims he cannot issue my business visa…I stand, I wait, I grit my teeth, I insist… until his:. And a welcome to the crazy Cambodian money system. I've visited a few countries with bizarre systems now, notably C...

Dragon Ladies of Myanmar. Inle Lake, Myanmar. Mighty Himalaya, Nepal. Pushkar Camel Fair 2011, India. Pushkar Camel Fair, 2011. Don't Go Back to Jomosom. I meet Muslims, Brahmins, Gurungs, Tahrus, Newaris. Nepal comprises a complex mixture of ethnic groups and castes and I am heartened by a common Nepali welcoming and good nature. The flexible tongued Nepalis can learn any language, I try to learn their language and a minibus howls with laughter then I spend two weeks mistakenly saying “I h...One of the ...
