  • SEX INDUSTRY TOURISM. South East Asia, Cambodia, Phnom Penh. Taxi girls, prostitutes, serve foriegn tourists & Khmer, Cambodians. The sex industry is part of the fabric, servicing all classes of Cambodian society. Girls are forced into prostitution because of poverty and corruption that exists across the country. People might earn 1 to 2 $ per day, even less in rural areas, so the lure of prostitution is high. Families can sell young girls, virgins, for several hundred dollars. Cheap brothels line the streets in parts of the city centre, near railway tracks, and on the periphery. Sex for Cambodians at cheap prices in the street brothels, as low as 1 $ US, to exorbitant fees in penthouse hotel suites for the rich. Sex tourism industry attracts Western and Asian tourists typically paying 10 - 30 $ US. Expressions such as 'yam yam', eating, for a blowjob 'bam bam' for intercourse. There are 'lady-boys', youths, who use the money to pay for  sex change operations. Prostitutes spend lots of money on make-up, clothes, and mobile telephones. They live in squalor. Due to public advertising campaigns and outreach work, Aids and HIV cases have dramatically decreased, in Cambodia, since the late '90s. Condoms are encouraged, are cheap and widely available. This is seen as  a success story by medical and health authorities. There are risks as ex-prostitutes known as 'sweethearts' don't use condoms with their partners. Brothels, v & madams take their cut, but many taxi-girls work as free agents. Bars, pool halls or beer gardens have staff and taxi-girls available to service male clients, some work as barmaids or escorts. There is violence against prostitutes; gang-rape and murder by Khmer gangs. Once a girl has worked as a prostitute it is unlikely she can ever marry.///Taxi-girl prostitute watches a movie on her mobile telephone

  • SEX INDUSTRY TOURISM. South East Asia, Cambodia, Phnom Penh. Taxi girls, prostitutes, serve foriegn tourists & Khmer, Cambodians. The sex industry is part of the fabric, servicing all classes of Cambodian society. Girls are forced into prostitution because of poverty and corruption that exists across the country. People might earn 1 to 2 $ per day, even less in rural areas, so the lure of prostitution is high. Families can sell young girls, virgins, for several hundred dollars. Cheap brothels line the streets in parts of the city centre, near railway tracks, and on the periphery. Sex for Cambodians at cheap prices in the street brothels, as low as 1 $ US, to exorbitant fees in penthouse hotel suites for the rich. Sex tourism industry attracts Western and Asian tourists typically paying 10 - 30 $ US. Expressions such as 'yam yam', eating, for a blowjob 'bam bam' for intercourse. There are 'lady-boys', youths, who use the money to pay for  sex change operations. Prostitutes spend lots of money on make-up, clothes, and mobile telephones. They live in squalor. Due to public advertising campaigns and outreach work, Aids and HIV cases have dramatically decreased, in Cambodia, since the late '90s. Condoms are encouraged, are cheap and widely available. This is seen as  a success story by medical and health authorities. There are risks as ex-prostitutes known as 'sweethearts' don't use condoms with their partners. Brothels, v & madams take their cut, but many taxi-girls work as free agents. Bars, pool halls or beer gardens have staff and taxi-girls available to service male clients, some work as barmaids or escorts.

There are some 6 million Christian Batak in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim country of 237 million people, which has more Muslims than any other in the world. Though it has a long history of religious tolerance, a small extremist fringe of Muslims have been more vocal and violent towards Christians in recent years. ..Batak religion is found among the Batak societies around Lake Toba in north Sumatra. It is ethnically diverse, syncretic, liable to change, and linked with village organisations and the monotheistic Indonesian culture. Toba Batak houses are boat-shaped with intricately carved gables and upsweeping roof ridges, and Karo Batak houses rise up in tiers. Both are built on piles and are derived from an ancient Dong-Son model. The gable ends of traditional houses, Rumah Bolon or Jabu, are richly decorated with the cosmic serpent Naga Padoha carved in wood or in mosaic, lizards, double spirals, female breasts, and the head of the singa, a monster with protruding eyes that is part human, part water buffalo, and part crocodile or lizard. The layout of the village symbolises the Batak cosmos. They cultivate irrigated rice and vegetables. Irrigated rice cultivation can support a large population, and the Toba and the Karo live in densely clustered villages, which are limited to around ten homes to save farming land. The kinship system is based on marriage alliances linking lineages of patrilineal clans called marga.

  • Girls dancing flamenco and wearing traditional dress frilly flamenco dresses in the streets during the opening night of the Feria..The Feria de abril de Sevilla, "Seville April Fair" dates back to 1847. During the 1920s, the feria reached its peak and became the spectacle that it is today. It is held in the Andalusian capital of Seville in Spain. The fair generally begins two weeks after the Semana Santa, Easter Holy Week. The fair officially begins at midnight on Monday, and runs six days, ending on the following Sunday. Each day the fiesta begins with the parade of carriages and riders, at midday, carrying Seville's citizens to the bullring, La Real Maestranza...For the duration of the fair, the fairgrounds and a vast area on the far bank of the Guadalquivir River are covered in rows of casetas (individual decorated marquee tents which are temporarily built on the fairground). Some of these casetas belong to the prominent families of Seville, some to groups of friends, clubs, trade associations or political parties. From around nine at night until six or seven the following morning, at first in the streets and later only within each caseta, crowds of people party and dance Sevillanas, traditional Flamenco dances, Sevillan style drinking Jerez sherry, or Manzanilla wine, and eating tapas. Men and women dress up in their finery, the traditional "traje corto" (short jacket, tight trousers and boots) for men and the "faralaes" or "trajes de flamenca" (flamenco style dress) for women. The men traditionally wear hats called "cordobés".

  • FISHERMEN MEKONG RIVER. South East Asia, Cambodia, Phnom Penh, Mekong River. The Cham fisher people live in various desolated villages along the banks of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers. The fisher families live like river gypsy nomads, working and living on their boats, sleeping under a sprung bamboo frame, all their worldly goods stored below deck. They live in extended families, with numerous boats, together for safety. Their diet is rice, vegetables and fish. Their sleek wooden boats are powered by petrol outboard motors with batteries or generators to supply lighting at night. Their fishing technique is laying nets twice or three times per day, which are weighted well below the surface, using old paint aerosal canisters as buoyant floaters, hanging just beneath the surface. These particular fisher families, living at the junction of the Mekong and Tonle Sap rivers, overlooked by Phnom Penh, sell their catch at the Vietnamese market, on the banks of the river. Their life and fortunes are controlled by the cycle of the river. As the river levels drop, so the quantity of fish decreases, until after the heavy floods of the monsoon they fill the river again. They are poor traditional Muslims, marginalised from mainstream society, living a third world life in the immmediate shadow of the first world. The Cham, originally a people of an ancient kingdom called Champa, are a small and disenfranchised community who were disinherited of their land. They are a socially important ethnic group in Cambodia, numbering close to 300,000. The Cham people, live in some 400 villages across Kampong Chnang and Kampong Cham provinces. Their religion is Muslim and their language belongs to the Malayo-Polynesian family.

Girls and women in pretty flamenco dresses, men in costume suits...The Feria de abril de Sevilla, "Seville April Fair" dates back to 1847. During the 1920s, the feria reached its peak and became the spectacle that it is today. It is held in the Andalusian capital of Seville in Spain. The fair generally begins two weeks after the Semana Santa, Easter Holy Week. The fair officially begins at midnight on Monday, and runs six days, ending on the following Sunday. Each day the fiesta begins with the parade of carriages and riders, at midday, carrying Seville's citizens to the bullring, La Real Maestranza...For the duration of the fair, the fairgrounds and a vast area on the far bank of the Guadalquivir River are covered in rows of casetas (individual decorated marquee tents which are temporarily built on the fairground). Some of these casetas belong to the prominent families of Seville, some to groups of friends, clubs, trade associations or political parties. From around nine at night until six or seven the following morning, at first in the streets and later only within each caseta, crowds of people party and dance Sevillanas, traditional Flamenco dances, Sevillan style drinking Jerez sherry, or Manzanilla wine, and eating tapas. Men and women dress up in their finery, the traditional "traje corto" (short jacket, tight trousers and boots) for men and the "faralaes" or "trajes de flamenca" (flamenco style dress) for women. The men traditionally wear hats called "cordobés".
