“Because of the travel restrictions, tourists can stay in Burma for weeks and never see any evidence of the regime’s more brutal tactics. I have spoken to some tourists who wonder what all the human-rights activists campaigning outside Burma are fussing about. (‘Everyone smiles at you - it can’t be that bad,’ one tourist said with a shrug.) Indeed, everything in Burma does seem normal… As one Burmese friend had chided me, ‘What did you expect? That we would all be sitting around on the pavements crying?’”
- Emma Larkin, Finding George Orwell in Burma
she might have been talking about the DPRK…
"C’est l’histoire d’un homme qui tombe d’un immeuble de cinquante étages. Le mec, au fur et à mesure de sa chute se répète sans cesse pour se rassurer : jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien, jusqu’ici tout va bien.
Mais l’important c’est pas la chute, c’est l’atterrissage.
(Do you know the story of the guy falling from a 50-story building? To reassure himself, he keeps repeating “So far so good, so far so good”… It’s not the fall that matters, it’s the landing.)"

They are few and far between, but there are days when I’m grateful that I’m a girl. (So I can take photos like these without feeling as much like a creep as I would otherwise)
There, I said it.
oh, some colour, finally.
