Khlongs

The story of Khlongs

The environment has always been a swamp of Bangkok and the Chao Phraya River, the waterway forms here. In the 16th Century there were already channels dug into the Chao Phraya River to provide better access to transportation costs to and from the former capital Ayutthaya. The large meander of the river was on its way to the Gulf of Thailand off crossed by canals. Most of the rivers were in Bangkok, the new capital. L 'south channel had to slow down at high tide flooded the city are filled with sea water.

Almost all national (and with some fluctuations, international) trade has been carried out in water. In addition, trenches to defend the city created in the 18th Century, following the example of a maximum of Ayutthaya in the 19th Century, set up for purely military purposes, were a couple of channels dug by Chinese laborers to cross from east to west, west in the area ofCity. Over the centuries, irrigation of the surrounding lands and the expansion of mobility were the main reasons for the creation of new waterways in the city developed and grew. Bangkok employs experts Dutch hydraulic engineering (late 18 th and 19 th century) to retrieve the wetlands. After the Second World War, the construction of canals in the wetlands has been intensified.

The ancient atmosphere Khlong

Today, all Khlongs not in use. Some of themhave been completed to improve land transport. However, some parts of the old internal atmosphere of Bangkok have just confirmed the possibility for a relaxing stay. One could, for example, take a water taxi ride Khlong Bangkok Noi and the old river channel and the original community. The water taxi leaves from Tha (Pier) next Silpakort Maharat University. Each trip costs about 20 Bhat and Khlong you further into the most beautiful of surroundings: TeakCase temples decorated with gold leaf and colorful orchids in small gardens. Taxi service is provided by the so-called "long tail boats." These are the colorful, narrow boats, about 8m long and equipped with large engines (truck engines sometimes Japanese) with the propeller on a long shaft so that the boat to sail in flat water. Of course, you can hire a longtail boat. They cost about 400-500 hours Bhat is at Tha Phraya. Make sure you agree the price beforeoff.

Practical IWT

If you really need to drive during rush hour, it's a good idea, a speedboat on the river Chao Phraya to get somewhere. It 's a bit hectic, but much less humid than trying to travel by land.

Dinner cruises

You can create a wonderful dinner in Bangkok, a dinner cruise in the evening. Some are mentioned in the Lonely Planet book and can be useful to make a reservation. We had a very nice hard wood on a typical"Barge Thai Rice with sweet music, good service and lots of good food. This was not the cheapest (about 1250 Bhat per person), but it was absolutely worth it.

Biking

Another good way is to see the city by bike. Try a bike ride along the banks of Khlongs Bangkok.

River Kwai Travel

The famous River Kwai is a real highlight of any trip to Thailand. From Bangkok, you can take a trip on the River Kwai, stopfirst ride of the famous floating markets in Bangkok and also the Death Railway built by prisoners of war. You can also float in the huts on the River Kwai River Kwai sleep during some tours.

With the interest in Muay Thai growing fast, art schools in Europe, America and Asia have taken their curricula martial. To learn well, players need to know some basics of Muay Thai.

Bangkok Nightlife – Washington Square, Alternative


Image : http://www.flickr.com

People know Bangkok for a visit or inquire about some of the most famous in Bangkok – Nightlife – and infamous. The best known is Patpong, which dates back to 1960 and popular with soldiers on leave from the Vietnam War. Aka Nana Plaza is located directly on Sukhumvit Road Soi 4 (Soi Nana) and Soi Cowboy.

In fact, there are several other areas, the conversation has become better known over the years, as Ratchadapisek Road, Rama IX Road,RCA (Royal City Avenue), and Soi Thonglor Soi Ekhamai.

But there is a place not on the cards for more sources of information: Washington Square (and around).

Washington Square fronts on the south side of Sukhumvit Soi 22 Sukhumvit Road Soi 24 and Sukhumvit between, closer to first than the latter.

Washington Square is actually a case with three cheek-by-jaw, elongated buildings occupy much of the center, go to a drive on all four sides, framed unitthrough a series of buildings. The place can be entered directly from Sukhumvit Road on a short-time access to internal disk or from Sukhumvit Soi 22 in front of the Regency Park Hotel about a hundred meters from Sukhumvit Road.

The square is a rather curious. There are several bars, including two for serving food, and some who only serve beverages and other restaurant bars that are longer than in nature. There are Japanese bar food. Embedded itself in theThere northwest of the square is also a gay bar, but for most of the patrons of the place, may well be on another planet. There are also some massage parlors. There are several companies that are here, including a printer and a travel agency. The average of the three buildings side-by-side are used to house a cinema, but now has a large pool bar oriented ground floor with a performance of "ladyboy" cabaret in the auditorium upstairs.

The largest group in the usualSquare – and it is very table "type a regulars' of the place – he is American, although many other nationalities are represented, including Canadians, Britons, Australians and New Zealanders, but represented by a number of other by at least one or two for most people. are regular in the field (a group called "Squaronians"), a group of slightly older, almost exclusively male.

The Western bar-only seats and two bars that serve food are also not for the faint-of-heart, asthey can be very slippery. Not always, but sometimes. The same applies to all drinks only those places. If you are quiet, are places of relaxation, if you want to watch TV, sit on your own or listen to music – all places have both – or to talk to other customers or employees. Of course, if you like crowds, you may find that too. Drink prices are very competitive, especially for bars and pubs in comparison to the knownLocations. In total there are about dozzen places catering mostly to Westerners.

Along the Sukhumvit Soi 22, the bar is occcasional, plus a small block of (mostly) bar across the soi from Washington Square and a bit 'lower. These are all pro-Western and have many regular customers.

This is a good place to get a feel for the local expatriate lifestyle, get very different from that of Expat business. Most people in this area are* * A full-time and long-term – does not run after a trip back to their country of origin. Many women and some children are Thai. A considerable number are retired (including some senior U.S. military). The largest group of people in the oil business or the construction (often oil-based), done as a field worker.

One local writer based English, once wrote an article describing the regulars of the place as "men with a thousand-yard stares," andthis is a good metaphor. Newcomers are always welcome, but to get an idea of how Squaronians (and the fools at all, let alone love!).

I should note that while I am more than a Squaronian me (and thus have more than a decade), I have no commercial interests around the world have in Washington Square. Sometimes I wondered, as I often write about them.

Worth and is close to the Skytrain station at Emporium and a little 'further from theAsoke station, the walk is easily one of the two. Figure on about four or five minutes from the station and the Emporium minutes from 8:00 to 10:00 at Asoke.

Drum Track editing tips, part 1 – Gating


Image : http://www.flickr.com

To receive the drum tracks first as a WAV file from an online session drummer, a convenient way of doing things. But what is the procedure when it is time to mix? In this short tutorial will explain the various concepts of the drum. Note that if you are 100 engineers on how to request a trail mix, will definitely be 100 different opinions about what is right and what is wrong. The bottom line is that if it sounds good, is good. Whatever you do to convey the emotionsthe ability to do the right thing. I would also, most of you are using a DAW (Pro Tools, Logic, DP, Reaper, etc. ..) of a kind that said, it's time to hip some basic approaches to begin. I'll start with the gating issue.

Gating is essentially mute the audio portions that do not have relevant information (also known as bleeding), to provide a defined path clean. For example, you can open the doors to the tom tracks so that they are heard, even if onlythey are concerned, unlike sympathetic howl, when the snare is hit. Who cares, just delete the tom. By silence on the audio track, if not the toms are beaten, you are a cleaner and more efficient drum track to produce a whole. You can use a noise gate as an insert to (hardware or software plug-in) or the volume of programmable logic in a DAW, or even entire sections in muting between the actual results. Each technique produces a different effect on the overall sound,Sole experiment and see what works for you. Some guys get, but the gate overheads, hi-hat microphones and room. This can be great for R & B, funk and progressive rock. Experimentation is the key.

Conversely, some engineers believe that the pipes must be free of gating ring and there is a risk, played by killing the atmosphere of a drum by a real drummer in a real space. I'm not suggesting this because it is a valid decision and the gate or not, it all depends on the type of materialundertaken, and what you go for looks. That said, I usually do not all score for a number of traditional jazz or something, Bonham-like atmosphere. Here is the ring tones and by all the microphones are open to the presence of general wear and air kit that every element can make for a great sounding drum track surrounds produced. Although no approach is ideal for all circumstances, this could be the "natural" soundApproach. Think about gated so dense and dry, while the non-gated large and airy. Once again … Experiment and have fun.

Search this website for more of my tutorial track drum editing. These tutorials will help you with topics such as compression, parallel compression, EQ and the environment.

Awareness and Music – Oh Happy Day


Image : http://www.flickr.com

My good friend Christine had recently told them an extra ticket to a concert gospel choir here in Buenos Aires. If I get involved?

I jumped at the opportunity to be an entertaining evening with her and have my explosion of hallelujah. Also, I wanted to see what looks like a crowd Argentine gospel concert.

We went. We smiled at each other as the exuberant crowd burst into applause after every solo performance increase to-the-top by a member of the choir. We clapped his hands untilswollen. He played with unbridled joy.

And then we watched with joy as the choir was encouraged – some would say forced – by a stomping, singing, offering on-their-feet amount not once, not five, but eight events added after the first arch and exit.

Oh Happy Day!

It 'was a cross between a revival and a game of futbol. There is a certain song, do sports fans here – without a word, the lilting melody with his mouth open. Everyone has made up andClapping, arms raised.

The audience seemed a symphony audience of Portland or Seattle – mostly upper middle class, but with a lot of students and a variety of nationalities. We found that the place was absolutely fascinating to this relatively unknown gospel choir of African-American singing traditional spirituals and "Porgy and Bess" Selections lot – all in English, of course.

But despite the cultural and language barriers, this choir rocked the house moved, whichCrowd and made everyone feel happy to be alive and blessed to be there together.

Oh Happy Day!

Just read the song titles in the program was a moving experience. You do not need much English to understand the importance of:

** "E 'Blessing Me"

** "O Happy Day"

"Bridge Over Troubled Water" **

** "Hold On"

** "It 's a quiet place"

** "Oh, Doctor Jesus"

** "Amazing Grace"

Now I was raised Mormon and danced my way througha variety of perspectives on the Buddhist spiritual law. When I look to take a religion T-shirts for the whole world to choose, I think it would be with the Buddha. But the night of the concert, it was Jesus the whole way.

Oh Happy Day!

Music fills our souls, and no matter what the brand might be. Buddhist monks have been singing? Very cool. The Gospel Singers? Awesome. I found in temples and shrines and cathedrals around the world, andthere is something deeply inspiring religious music that fills – no matter what label you wear, it is becoming.

The more open we are, what we see and hear, the more chances there are of the type (or is it gossip?) In the joy that inspires in us. The attention to ways in which access to our souls – or the true nature, or whatever you want to call it – free to explore new sources of inspiration.

Both gospel, classical, blues and hip-hop, playing withOptions and surprised to find something stimulating about a musical form that we have just heard of before. Find what makes you clap your hands – even if it is not in your native language, or linked to the visit of the church on Sunday.

Finding a way to get those happy tears flow, and will be connected to what matters most.

Oh Happy Day!
