Asia is divided into five regions: Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, West Asia and divided. Each region is homedifferent countries, all with different musical trends only. Over the centuries, history has shaped the formation of country music throughout Asia. Instead of Asian music as a whole today affect us closer to each country: namely, Thai Music, Chinese music, or music of Mongolia.

The countries of Central Asia are Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Uzbekistan. Modern Afghan music spreadsMuslim religious chants of classical melodies and lyrical music sung in Persian. The music of Afghanistan tends to be very similar to what we found in other countries, predominantly Muslim. Mongolia is known nationally for music with a central des Indeed, the Mongols for their songs long and the horse head violin known. Kazakhstan has been heavily influenced by the former Soviet Union and Russia to date. Therefore, this country music leans heavily on compared with traditional know-how. Finally, Uzbekistan is a mixture of pop-rock, folk and classical songs and traditional music west of the country.

East Asia is home to China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Although much of the music of East Asia is similar in style, in four countries, these non-musical in the world are summarized. Chinese music is a cultural split in many regions, which would be difficult to explain everything. Traditional Japanese> The music is quiet and does not follow a specific rhythm. The music of Korea is following the popular styles of the court, and is usually based on Buddhist beliefs. Taiwan is a melting pot of cultures and is therefore home to many different types of music.

Some Thai girls are not girls


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Anyone who has ever visited Thailand will know the beauty of Thai women. They are in their twenties, are striking. In the thirties, they look more mature, but still most of them are very attractive.

Women working in the ubiquitous bars and massage parlor in Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket are mostly former housewives, believe it or not, married but separated and has two children, he could return to their country with their mothers. Most are from Isaan, the northeastern cornerThailand, which has a large amount of poverty. Some are from other parts of the country, especially Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, and some are from Bangkok and central Thailand.

But 1 in 100 is not a woman, but a Ladyboy or Katoey in Thai. They often appear more feminine than real women. I have not many farang ogle and lust after a very sexy woman, knowing that "she" to 'him'.

Like women, most ladyboys Isaan. I spokeone couple, one by one, and asked if she knew that she wanted to be first, a female. All said they knew at an early age, about 5 or 6 years. They said they wanted a female, not as rough sport, in part, art and music.

Katoeys are an accepted part of Thai culture, as a third sex in Thailand. Some are movie stars and TV spokesman. One is a kick-boxing national champion. Ladyboys are everywhere, works asWaiters, clerks, hairdressers, couriers, etc.

In North America and Europe, gender reassignment (also known as gender reassignment) The organization is considered a major problem, requiring many months of counseling before the operation to ensure that the person committed to change .

In Thailand, for sex reassignment surgery is quite common. There are many clinics and hospitals that they perform, and costs only a fraction of what would be the western version, usuallyU.S. $ 5000-7000. However, for a poor person Isaan, $ 5000 is a huge amount of money.

There are three areas in Bangkok where ladyboys are present in large numbers: Nana Entertainment Plaza (on Sukhumvit Soi 4), Patpong Road (off Silom) and Soi Cowboy (near the intersection of Sukhumvit Road and Asoke Road, with both BTS Skytrain and MRT subway stations).

For Nana, the majority of ladyboys "pre-op", ie they still have a penis. In Patpong and Soi Cowboy,Most of them are "post-op", ie have the project was to create a vagina. The operation involves cutting a part of the intestine, which will be the vagina. The penis is cut and pasted the intestinal tract, usually some of the scrotal sac is used to increase the length of the new vagina. The tip of the penis becomes the clitoris again, and is generally more sensitive after the procedure is completed and everything is healed. The ladyboys I talked to said they could stillan orgasm, but did not ejaculate.

Say, reserves of scar tissue is visible when the post-op ladyboy her public hair, but when she shaved, hard artificial vagina from The Real Thing.

However, this is not usually the end of the history of gender reassignment. The male body is usually larger than females, even in Thailand, where many people seem to be 80% of the population size of Western Europe. The ladyboy has hormones for several years before the takeoverOperation, and these hormones help to grow breasts and reduce his facial and body treatments, hair growth. Thai men generally does not take much body hair, in comparison with Western men, but they have some, hormones or other treatments are necessary to reduce or eliminate. However, hormones, ejaculate a side effect of reducing the capacity.

The men usually have a protruding Adam's apple, leaving a further operation: it can be shaved by a surgeon to reduce or eliminate the accident. Andmany have electrolysis to remove body hair, especially under the armpits.

When you visit Nana Entertainment Plaza after 7 (that is when it opens) and several institutes hairdressing salon on the decks is concluded that running on three sides of the structure. Those who are against the bar girls, those needs back ladyboys. You can brush some of the ladyboys to view and prepare their makeup.

Some of the bars are exclusively ladyboys. If you are asuch as a bar, you'll find that most ladyboys are more than passable, and some are of rare beauty. I do not think I've ever seen an ugly ladyboy.

Go as far as relations that are ladyboys and Thai women. You want a long term relationship, and are ready, the work relationship. Many speak a bit 'of English, but you really need a product like Speak Easy Thai, to give some basic Thai vocabulary. If you can communicate better, you must be amuch better chance of a lasting relationship.

Part of the nightlife of Bangkok, which should not be missed by any visitor, ladyboy cabaret are done in a professional manner, with spectacular displays of feathers and glitter of many, good music and some comedy (also). You can view this Calypso Cabaret (Asia Hotel, Ratchathewi Skytrain Station), Golden Dome Cabaret look (15 minutes walk from the subway station Sutthisan), and Mambo Cabaret in the former Washington Theater between SukhumvitSoi 22 and 24 years.

Jewelry Art Touches Worship of Souls


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Thai-jewelry art from prehistory to the Rattanakosin period he created for humans. But it was not designed to work best or only for the current decor. According to archaeological and anthropological may assume that jewelry using one of the first opportunities for the people to represent their sense of beauty, and build their relationships with the community and the environment. The most important thing is the purpose of ornament, which is to worship the sacredThe soul of nature and go to "body" of "interdependence". This article aims to present ideas, support the principles and discuss the important processes for the knowledge of art jewelry. This applies to relatives in the ascending line can still fade importance of art jewelry to reflect once again the glory. The history of decorative Thai started earlier 50,000-1,700 years. Necklaces and bracelets made of shells and bones are discovered in the tombs of men and women. What is the reason whyJewelry is often associated with the dead, buried cultural anthropologists point where people believed in those days, which could be the death has created a form of continuity in life, as Brahman (after Buddhism is a religion) who believe that the souls of death and rebirth. Jewelry will be followed by those who have died, to serve in the next life.

The men not only seek to understand their environment through the transformation, but also to study the characteristics of individuals and communities. This is reflectedspaces for culture systematically prepared to defeat the chaos of human nature. In a study of the development of civilization, it seems that this idea in the form of faith. Men mingle with the traditions that practice, in every person, "customs" planted are formed. Jewelry or a mysterious object, as a symbol for this cult connection. This is because it is closer to facilities for men and expresses the human behavior. Eventhough improve people again and again to organize and theirCostumes and traditions is the belief in the power of things. It is made of the fact that they are superstitious, create objects for the worship of the souls and life continue to reflect. Boundary of faith through religious rites, which are supported by cultural items, jewelry, limited. Belief is maintained in the form of fairy tales, as well as images, relationships between people, nature, power and the world. This meaning is a prerequisite for men to select an alternativebest suited to the context, for example, materials, shapes, colors, symbols.

However, the ritual can not live without "body." This is because the body is the first place, where interactions take place, and touched with the jewelry. At the same time, brings the body completely from the inside of the jewelry that the cult of purity of the soul. For a scheduled service, the materials of superstitious prehistoric men, the foundation of faith in verbal communication,Expression through language, images and shapes. Therefore, the cultural heritage represented by the beauty of the structure, time or eternity in symbolic forms. These symbols are the stories in context. Jewelry is the result of the willingness of people to worship with all my heart the holy souls.

Jewelry was created from prehistory to the present day, for 4 main objectives, to respect the rule to show moral support to celebrate the rites of worship life and the beauty of philosophy and aesthetics.Results of an analysis of these issues is to combine images or shapes of the assets of the delicacy of Thai wisdom.

1. Jewels regarding the state
Since Thai Buddhist culture and Hindu Brahman influences beliefs are combined into abstract settings. It is by faith in the conditions "ideal," said said about the recognition of the 5 senses. This state has the power to the world, people or objects to change. Thai Buddhist culture paysThe attention to the condition of people with individual power creates surreal. Therefore, an instrument, jewel in the worship of these different states. Ideal for men above and the expansion of social rank and status. This is suspected for the purposes of communication and decision-making, particularly the idea of God

2. Jewelry as a tool for moral support
This particular instrument of expression continue his duty. It is now not only view the status, but full of inner strength and power. Imagesand the superstitious beliefs of the jewels to bring the power for themselves. This type of jewelry is not as expressive as the first. It has its place. This is because a carrier wants to hide the power and maintain the moral support in person. Jewelry for the moral support, has a psychological effect on 3 aspects;

W Blessings
or protection
or superstition

3. Jewelley serve as a means of rituals of life
Consider the life cycle is born, "old, sick and die, you will see,Jewelry is one of the objects global cultural backgrounds, values and histories. Images and the soul of art jewelry, so that every part of human life and the type of jewelry timing.This is intended to reflect the relationship of religion of individuals. It acts as a means of performing the stories of life and psychological functions. It allows the wearer of the importance of the mind, body and environment as part of another and feel the tradition. It also provides the physical elements of "public"strengthen the unity of the community.

4. Jewelry as a celebration of the beauty of philosophy and aesthetics
What distinguishes this type of jewelry is that men begin to look for the jewels of art and / or design. The influence of jewelry as an object of moral support diminishes. With jewels as a way of expressing people play the larger role. Jewelry can be likened to a support philosophical and aesthetic. The importance of craftsmanship and attention toPromoting the choice of materials. Development of this type of jewelry is very clear and protruding from prehistory to today.This type of jewelry is the motivation of unknown artistic elements, composition, design theory and philosophy. Sometimes traveling beyond the traditional practice. Jewelry is like a heart or imagination, which brings our feelings. It can change our thoughts, emotions and feelings. It is also the history and stories. Each has its own stories and poems.He considers this for himself, until he had a way of expressing both through jewelry. Jewelry, but requires special skills and materials to reflect the best thoughts and perceptions of the wearer.

How successful deployment, noted that the use of jewelry as a means of worship shall not, without reference to a passage. This is because the body is the first place, to the detriment of jewelry and is the first target sensitive images, sounds, smells, tastes, body and spirit. The body is whatMove the internal framework of jewelry and executes them. Motions could be wearing a gem all the way to change even before it is perceived, interpreted and fully expressed essence.There have good manners in dealing with the body and the space between the body and jewelry from prehistory to the Rattanakosin period. There are 4 aspects that should be mentioned.

o The belief that the holy soul in the body of the value of respect andWorship.
or physical beauty: There are parts and areas or between the human body, which should be worshiped by decoration. This sometimes includes the creation of a new idealized beauty.
errors or the site should be set up or hidden.
or contribute something to remember to remember, or do not remember a reminder of the essence of worship.

People know the inside of the jewelry to appreciate when they see the results of their interactions with the jewelry, the right timeand correct. If thinking about the beauty of the jewels do not rank on the human body is displayed on the site, then people will not feel the ritual "interaction" with all the senses. This is because each item of jewelry was created in accordance with its internal structure, with a focus that people would notice, perceive, communicate and interpret what they hear or watch through the observation of its meaning through the senses and preparation the cult of souls.

The condition referred to above showsDynamic beauty of the jewelry, which can be perceived by the sights, tastes, smells, sounds and touch. It aims to add a message for the beauty that helps people to communicate to understand the domestic context. This is a perfect match between art jewelry and women. If a person has doubts about the eternity of the inner connection with the jewels when he touches it, the meeting will always be able to respond? There is still need to know some men, or stumble across borders, can not hear iffirst touch of jewelry. When Albert Einstein's theory says that the beginning of things is the relative balance between "time or place or time and space. They can not be separated. This is because they are interdependent. Time and space to determine the measures to ' internal universe.

Another way is to say that time is the beginning and end. And the weather also plays a role in standards of living things in the universe. The results of this theory, answer questionsart, jewelry and a greater understanding of the truth of things in the universe. This adds the essence of Buddhism, which believes that nothing lasts forever, and you can not appear without the other. What is the balance "relativity" between the jewelry and a man who put him in relation to the results of worship. Every jewel needs a symbol, by implication, suggestions and / or evidence which can be explained as a means of communication. ThisCorrelation of objectives formed the rite of interactions, including the wheel of time. Sometimes religious mystery warning us about the answers. For example, if the object and / or his name is lost in time, the framework of a pure force. The jewelry is informal, but remains in the minds of people until they want. This is why things disappear. They are part of whatever form. The following are examples of decorative art works that Thaius interesting images of the place and time.

o There are specific time and place to create the balance that exists lasts as long as the jewelry itself.
Or timeless place, but states take the balance, there is as long as the jewelry itself or its carrier created. Sometimes the jewelry is a special place to be created. If you lost, the frame of a pure force, if jewelry is informal, but remains in the minds ofCarrier.
Or the time and specific location, creating the jewelry, the balance for once.

Even if art is part of the jewels of worship, and in some parts of the body, or in spaces between that body, which means "place", stated that the meeting between the two can not really say how well balanced. This is because, if we carefully consider the creation of jewelry, we, who "can find the time," makes its own rules. Time we can reveal some ultimate truth from traces or stainsmaterials. City can not do it, but both can not be separated. Time and space to different aspects of knowledge and experience of beauty. Therefore, a complete knowledge about the need to respect requires balanced relativity of time and place.

In conclusion, the knowledge and the above conclusions are unique and beautiful identity of Thai jewelry art from prehistory to the Rattanakosin period. This article is about the essence of jewelry is written with a firm resolve that allknowledge it would be our feelings about the objects that have long relationships with our challenge. Sensations we receive from the breath of jewelry, we have taken so long to make in the form of worship with a pure heart, we learn and improve. These feelings are still the basis, people and artists as we praise, including the forms and the value may be altered by a cultural change. The feelings are still with the nature of the universe of jewelry. It was created to"They shine the cult of saints, spirits of nature," with the "body" connection "internal state of balanced time and place." The light that reflects each of them forever.

Don Piper


Image : http://www.flickr.com

In 90 Minutes in Heaven Don Piper makes a false declaration about his experience of heaven, because of his faith already exists as a Christian. In the third chapter of the book that actually tells us that "I see God." Even though I knew that God was there, I've never seen any kind of image or embers of his divine presence to give … I just saw a brilliant iridescence. "

Piper shows us clearly that he "has not seen God," and that he "saw only a bright iridescence. This is the standard in researchof Near Death Experiences (NDE), as is seen more often, what they call "light." Based on this bright light Piper concludes that God was there, as do many people, and 80 percent in my study is not so good.

But while the connection between light and Piper, God is generally acknowledged within Near Death Experience (NDE) research, 's conclusion that this light of God of the Bible is not allowed. And it is there that goes too far in its financial statements and notes of the B-side on apersonal crusade.

One clear reason, that is, it could be the fact that he met many fellow Christians in heaven. He tells us in the second chapter that I "do not see Jesus, but I see people I had known," and this is probably where Piper makes its conclusion false.

Explained on the people he met in heaven, who see me and welcomed me in heaven and the community enjoyed … I realized that my all for a Christian or that they had contributed, wereencouraged me in my development as a creditor … because of their influence, I could be there with them in heaven.

E 'in B-side to take for people to families or individuals who have been of great importance for their life develops. Based on this fact to conclude from NDE research is therefore desirable that, due to the Christian formation of Piper, the most important people in his life from a Christian background.

But that does not mean that, becausePiper met people, Christians in heaven, that Christians are only in heaven. As we have seen, there is no "community" or special "influence" that the only guarantee for entry into heaven is spiritually neutral.

While research on the NDE to the conclusion that God is spiritually neutral, and the sky is included, the background Piper is less neutral, and be complete. The facts about Don Piper, who had been a Christian most of her life, starting as a minister and a Minister for Youth,then Minister of Education, the Minister of older adults, Baptist Student Ministry director, long and shepherd adult senior pastor. And he is in full-time Christian service since 1984 – five years before his B-side and the experience of the sky.

When Piper was concluded to be true would mean that all Christians in their religious influence should be met by a community like this. But it is not. This also means that people from all other religions, both as a surpriseEncounter with Jesus, or all go straight to hell. But that's not the way to the conclusion that people supplement their existing belief system is very clear their experience, if we look at cross-cultural studies of NDE.

Here we find a great difference in the content of the B-side because of cultural differences. Seeing a person in a Christian culture sometimes, or claim to have met Jesus, a person in a different culture, with a different religious background of anotherreligious figure, and have a very different experience.

One example is the study published by eleven NDE from Thailand by Todd Murphey in 1999, where we find that instead of Jesus or a Christian community, which the Lord Buddha and Buddhist Death, Yama, or Yamatoot people, too. meet

Have seen, a statement said that "finally I have a wall of the temple. Yamatoot gave me a big gate, where I give a Monaco a sermon to a group of elderly men and women. I have the formalGesture of respect, Monaco, and when I did, I realized that the truth and the highest form of assistance in the Lord Buddha was found. "

Here we see many of the specific aspects of Buddhism in the experience with the concepts of a wall of the temple, a Monaco and the Lord Buddha integrated. The content of Thai B-sides are very clear on Buddhist culture in Thailand.

Although we like to do these Thai NDEs watch the sky, we find that theDescription of the sky is very different from what we've written in the Bible:

The Yamatoot took me to 27 levels. I saw many beautiful things in the sky. There were beautiful pavilion in the sky, where ornaments scattered on the floor. I could not see anyone. The Yamatoot told me that people were arupa sky [informal] sector, and therefore they were invisible. I have heard, the monks chanted Pali recitation "Shina Bahnchorn" [The Buddha Window] all the time I was in heaven. I never had a dedicatedMonaco, and so has never been the "Shin Bahnchorn learned in my life. However, I always felt like I went through the houses of heaven.

In this testimony, we have the experience of "real estate heaven," as the Buddhists in different levels of heaven and not believe a paradise, as in the Bible. And while Piper told in three chapters on music heard in heaven, that all the songs, in which, "says the kingdom of Christ as King of kings", we haveInstead of reciting Buddhist monks' Pali-sang, "something that most of them very different from songs of praise to Jesus

So, here we see clearly the differences of cultural conditioning and how it is specific to each culture. This is very clear even though the aboriginal cultures, we find a very different picture of the cultural content, for example.

In a Native American NDE made publicly available by Black Elk of the eighteenth century, we find that, after the collapsein his tepee, he was lifted into clouds and has the following vision:

The circular ring, the four directions and the center of the world on an axis that is filled from heaven to earth, many of nitrite, dancing horses, surrounded by lightning and thunder, the sky in every direction.

Here we have evidence of well-defined cultural characteristics, such as the classic Native American mandala, heaven and earth, and we also found, "Dancing Horses". From this test, and if weView of the intercultural content of the NDE, in general, we find that the religious content of the B-side is universal, but not unique to any culture.

E 'on this basis, the research concludes that the B-side is that each of their integration into their existing belief that their culture for the near death experience. If we get more of a B-side and cross-cultural models, there is absolutely no evidence to support widely accepted that a certain religion, "the onlyWay to heaven. "

How Careful With Super Hot Spicy Thai Food Exercise caution when traveling in Thailand!


Image : http://www.flickr.com

My only advice for travelers who want to holiday in Thailand and Thai food saver is simple – ask if the food is (as in "spicy" hot) before putting it in my mouth!

Of course, we must also recognize that what the food is hot (and probably normal) for an eye Thai is super hot, watering and physically punish a foreigner. Just because the jailer said, "It is hot" does not mean that it is not hot for you. So rememberunless you want to cry all the way!

The fact is that, at least up in southern Thailand, eating rice with the addition of peppers or spicy sharp prik is an everyday occurrence. Often, you can choose whether you want your food hot or not, but sometimes it is better to say "Please do not get hot," just in case. Another thing is to cast your eyes to the food – which usually have a strong sense if it is strong or not. Your eyes will water and your stomach will tell you!

Although someForeigners can "eat fire," the spicy food without fear in the world, others were uncomfortable fire in the belly of super hot meals. When this happens (it is common to suddenly hot spices or pepper to be found, eating in a Thai court), cucumber slices, served with every meal which will have a cooling effect and take some of the fire. (Or make sure that the restaurant is available!)

In short, if you are in Thailand, it is inevitable thatSooner or later you spicy Thai food served Thai and other delicacies. (), Especially if you move to the southern regions. Definitely give it a try – so make sure you have cut the cucumber slices on hand!
