Picture of the day Where is this picture from? | Welcome to our travel site!Why are we travelling and writing here about? The world is changing fast. On the place of a forest yesterday we see only palms today. Suit-wearing papuas leaves a shack with an attache-case. He drives a car and goes to the office. An englishman do just the same. Everything gradually becomes similar so the unique things that are still left have the most value nowadays. We're travelling and writing about this, trying to catch the tail of a moment. We're willing to show that our world is still diverse and magnificent in its diversity. We want to see our planet like a thin lace or a web where all threads are joined together in harmony. Our world consists of many interconnections, beneficial and harmful. We are willing to realise what is the common between any societies and what is completely different. We invite you to join us!

Articles concerned with: food
In general there are to main kinds of food in Indonesia. The first is simple everyday food for unpretentious locals. The second is beautifully served restaurant food for those with more money. We rarely visit restaurants therefore second type doesn’t suit us. But during half-year travel in Indonesia we learnt a lot about simple local cuisine. The first impression of the food on the largest archipelago wasn’t that good. Sumatran food seemed to be not the best. But later we realized that the quality of food in Indonesia depended on the place we chose. This article highlights the best indonesian food and also we’ll share our ideas about successful choosing places to eat.
Beef and pork carcasses which are usually demonstrated in front of numerous cafes and shops in Asia don’t shock me anymore. I’m used to it. But in places where I really see how living beings are butchered I don’t want to eat them. I’m not that strict vegetarian but if I see something like this… please, no meat! It’s horrible to see (and even think and read about!) a pig which is processed. Ears, noses were thrown separately, legs were put in a large metal bowl, the other pig’s parts were prepared for immediate lunch cooking. Two hungry clients were sitting nearby, with chopsticks in their hands. They were impatiently waiting for their food.
I decided to show the meat processing in China. As an example I made a photos of chicken processing. I think it would be enough. Look at the pictures.
Those who hasn’t ever heard the name “coffee luwak” (Ind: kopi luwak) aren’t real fans of coffee. In any coffee-related articles this brand is described as the best, the most sophisticated and also the most expensive sort of coffee in the world. There are numerous legends about this chocolate-vanilla thin flavoured drink which is produced using аn asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus) which belongs to Viverridae family. Allegedly civets recognize and eat the best and the ripest coffee berries with a bean inside from the plantation. Following fermentation of beans in their stomach improves the taste and reduces bitterness of coffee brew. We decided to observe how do they produce coffee luwak in Bali and describe this without any fairy tales and legends.
