Taka Noda aka Mystica Tribe from Japan. Island Oasis features 8 dubbed out tracks that reverberate through the forest.

Bonsai Fir Tree is a symbol of resilience, strength and
determination.
Mystica Tribe has quickly been developing a very distinctive sound that exists in a weird, freaked out zone between dub and techno.

Noda is especially interested in deep, psychedelic music, and this is reflected in his productions, which are equally suited for late night listening sessions or bent, broken in dancefloors or On #SoundScapeSunday

Two Birds(Chicken) with One Stone

Two Birds(Chicken) with One Stone
My second dilemma concerns a second set of two chickens, however these chickens are alive and even more troublesome. These two chickens, apparently vagabonds of some kind, wandered onto the grounds of the monastery earlier today.

They were drunk and rowdy, and disturbed many of the other monks during post-breakfast meditation.

I asked them kindly to leave us in peace and find refuge elsewhere, but they refused and became belligerent.
They both swung their wings at me as if to punch me, but fortunately they were quite drunk and immediately fell, unconscious, to the ground.

As they were comatose, I quickly grabbed them by their talons, placed them outside the monastery walls, and locked the gate.

However, they both regained consciousness mere minutes later, and since then, have been trying in vain to fly over the gate.

To make matters worse, they seem even more belligerent, and their drunken vulgarity continues to disturb our meditations.

“So I ask you, wise Master, what is the correct path of action?”

To which Lao Tzen Tzang replied:

“By killing two birds with one stone, you shall kill two birds with one stone.”

“And how shall I do that?” asked the pupil.

You must find the biggest stone in the garden. Also a twelve foot ladder.
Take these to the front gate, and carry the stone to the top of the ladder.
When the chickens are not looking, drop the stone on top of them.

Then cook them for supper.

“But, Master, what if the stone is too heavy to carry up the ladder?”

“Then you must find a slightly smaller stone that is not as heavy.”

“But, master, what if none of the stones are big enough to kill both chickens in one fell swoop?”

“Then find a stone you can fit in your hand.
Aim for one chicken and throw the stone in a sidearm motion, as you might throw a curveball.
The stone should ricochet off of the first chicken and hit the second chicken as well.”

The pupil followed his master’s advice but, alas, once again proved himself grossly incompetent.

He carried a large stone to the top of a ladder placed next to the front gate, but just as he was about to drop it, one of the chickens flew up and pecked him in the eye.

The young monk lost his balance and fell, dropping the rock on his own face.

Though as dumb luck would have it, the chickens saw this and laughed until they choked to death on their own vomit.

The young monk may have lost several teeth, but that didn’t prevent him from cooking and eating a delectable sesame chicken supper.

And for the first and second times in history, two birds were killed with one stone. Also a ladder.

Idiom: Shooting Two Hawks with One Arrow 一 箭双雕
In the West, we say "to kill two birds with one stone," but in ancient China, archery was the way to go.
Meet Zhang Sunsheng: a well-trusted strategist and a talented archer from China’s Northern and Southern dynasties (420-589 C.E). Zhang was charged with escorting a princess to the northwest, where she would be married off to the neighboring Turkish clan. While in the Turkish kingdom, the king became so impressed by Zhang’s archery skills that he invited Zhang stay as a special guest of honor. Thus, Zhang spent the next year on holiday, and often accompanied the Turkish king on his hunting expeditions.
One day, the pair spotted two hawks flying overhead, squabbling over a piece of meat. The king handed Zhang two arrows and asked him to take down the intimidating raptors, one after the other. Zhang carefully strung his bow, aimed closely at his first target, and let go. But much to even his surprise, he struck both birds in one stroke, accomplishing his task with only half the effort.
Now that’s what we call efficiency!

MY BABY wore her crown electric, chanted till the flames grew higher
She wills you to dance…
Until you fall into the voodoo trance

The Band endeavours to create an imaginative landscape, where “My baby” has become an allegory, the protagonist in a phantasmagorical and timeless universe, where she features as the figurehead of protest, voodoo priestess, bearer of broken hearts, both aggressor on the plains and keeper of the peace, enchanting, meditating, preaching, screaming, loving, dreaming....

PIED PIPER runs the REVOLUTION Pp and his band of disco-funk renegades are given their due as purveyors of slick disco-edged jazz-funk

Combining oddball grooves, funky drum samples, and hints of acid and maintaining a funk-sprawl ideology

In a system that foretells a fusion of funk, soul, hip hop, disco and best of acid jazz
The album is full of sleazy sax riffs, plunky electronic keyboards, acid-jazz breakdowns, and empty washes of synth.

Street Vendors, Vietnam

You can't miss the huge number of street food vendors on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), selling a variety of local Vietnamese favourites, like:

* Gỏi Cuốn (Fresh Spring Rolls)
* Bánh Xèo (Savoury Pancakes)
* Phở (Pho Soup Noodles)
* Bánh mì (Baguette sandwich)

You'll find a Vietnamese page on my site, full of recipes. Link below.

There is an unofficial 3 tier system to the street vendors in Saigon:

Top tier: vendors with a storefront, which they either own or pay rent on. Quite often, these are tiny little coffeeshop style establishments, with the vendors also living within the space.

2nd tier: vendors who tend to operate at the same spot day in day out. Their equipment consists of some sort of a mini catering trailer or box that is attached to a vehicle. Some even leave their trailers on the spot, all locked up of course, for the night.

3rd tier: these guys are extremely mobile and move from day to day; their method of transportation varies from a motorbike/scooter to a bicycle to their own two feet. The lady in the image has all she needs attached to her bike. Others pack a table, some chairs, cutlery, crockery and their food onto a single bike before going off and settling on a spot for the day.

Then you have travelling hawkers called gánh hàng rong in Vietnamese. They carry a long bamboo pole on the shoulder with a basket or pot on either end, selling a variety of foodstuff. It could be a full meal in the form of rice or noodles with vegetable and meat dishes or fresh fruit and vegetables or even dried foodstuff. You'll find more pictures in my Travelling with 4 Kids Collection.
