What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?

Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. While there is no strict dress code, it's important to dress appropriately for the weather and…

I'm sure you discovered, Bev, that you could not use your credit card in Burma. No way there will be the kind of foreign investment needed to build resorts as long as the generals are in charge.

Burmese elephants are quite literate - but I suspect he was just looking at the pictures to commit them to memory!

A fascinating image, Bev, what with the baby elephant and the young Burmese woman reading an English-language magazine out there.

Shamelessly exploiting a one year old elephant in the jungle in Burma (Myanmar) a few weeks back. Visited Yangon (Rangoon) and went on a six hour bumpy drive to the coast. Had a swim in the Bay of Bengal too. Long, pristine beaches that, I expect, in a decade or sooner will be populated with fancy resorts - all depends on the military government - maybe they love seaside holidays too . . .

South China Morning Post needs some writers who cover luxury travel. I write advertorial for the luxury travel market, but they say they're looking for people who do pure editorial. And they want newsy angles and luxury hotel reviews rather than straight destination stories.
Here's the SCMP contacts page. I don't know which editor oversees travel or what the Morning Post pays.

Kenya's Ukambani and Samburu regions:

I'm spending the next month travelling as a writer/chronicler with a group of eye specialists as they visit and treat the people of the remote villages of Kenya's Ukambani. This is my fifth year to travel with the team and there are so many stories to be told.

After the work in the Ukambani I will visit the Samburu people and especially areas beloved by Ernest Hemmingway. But it's not about Hemmingway, it's about the people of this area and how the constant droughts over so many years have affected them.

There are many story ideas for an imaginative Editor. I leave in the coming days and will be out of contact for almost a month... so Hurry Up and contact me!

Thanks for your time.

Brendan O.A. Harding
