Mekong (Asia) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Mekong in South East Asia.
Even though the Mekong originates in the Tibetan Highlands and flows through China, its true source lies within South East Asia, in Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam, fascinating countries whose inhabitants can look back proudly on both a colourful and glorious past. Around thirty five kilometres from the capital of Pnohm Penh the jungle temple of Ta Prohm is a unique combination of both nature and culture. Colossal feigen, banyan and kapok trees cover the splendid temple site and their huge roots intermingle with the ruins and thus give the sanctuary a magical atmosphere. Most of the country’s traditional dances date back to the Angkor Period. The dancers of the classical and extremely complex Apsara dance once enjoyed great respect and were given the status of divine beings and they were considered to be mediators between Heaven and Earth. For many centuries the Tonle Sap, the largest fresh water lake in South East Asia, was a vital source of water for around ten per cent of Cambodia’s population. It is also of great importance for wildlife. Innumerable villages and houseboats fill the Tonle Sap with life. Furthermore, the extraordinary biodiversity of the indigenous bird population is truly remarkable. The lake, and particularly the bird reserve at Prek Toal, are a true paradise for ornithologists. Over four hundred Buddhist temples are to be found in Bangkok. One of the most important is the magnificently designed Wat Phra Kaeo that, in addition to many other valuable treasures, also contains the Emerald Buddha. Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, is an exceptionally beautiful city with many lakes and parks. Despite its three and a half million inhabitants Hanoi is a relatively easy-going city. It boasts an amazing number of beautiful and historic monuments. The Mekong is a unique habitat that comprises some of the most impressive countries in South East Asia, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam, countries whose fascinating cultures are both historic and enchantingly exotic.

Ian Toll Virtual Book Tour on the USS Hornet Sept 16 2020
Author Ian Toll virtually joins Russell Moore of the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum to discuss his new book The Twilight of the Gods.
When you visit the USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum you are literally “stepping into/onto history”. This ship was there at the forefront of WWII in the Pacific where her record of combat accomplishments is legendary. The USS Hornet finished her long career in the news again as she retrieved the Apollo 11 capsule and the astronauts who were the first humans to walk on the surface of the moon.
Today the USS Hornet Museum serves as a “living history” destination at Pier 3 in Alameda, where thousands of visitors walk through her “hatches” reliving history through the sights, sounds and even smells that are uniquely Hornet.
Since the adoption of our charter in 1998, The USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum has become the preeminent Naval history museum on the West Coast. The USS Hornet is the only aircraft carrier in the United States that is recognized as a National and State Historical Monument as well a repository of over 240 years of American naval military and cultural history and achievements, offering extensive resources for national and international visitors alike.
The USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum carries on a rich legacy of “Hornets”, as the first Hornet christened would become one of the most distinguished names in American naval history with her performance in the Revolutionary War. The first two ships in the new Continental Navy were Hornet & Wasp.

Gort Chester: footnote to the Sandakan death marches
We look at the role which Gort Chester, one of the pioneers of the liberation of Borneo in WW2, played in the episode which developed into the Sandakan death marches to Ranau. With the correct support and sound decisions nearly 2000 allied POWs could have been saved. The outcome was very different as history shows.
This is an updated version of the earlier video.

????????Uncle Go East Malaysia Ep3: Kota Kinabalu local food tasting journey
Curry noodle, also known as Laksa, is a popular dish in Kota Kinabalu and throughout Sabah. It is a spicy and flavorful noodle soup that is made with a rich, coconut-based broth and a variety of toppings, including shrimp, chicken, tofu, vegetables, and boiled egg.
The noodles used in Laksa are typically rice noodles, and the soup is flavored with a variety of herbs and spices, including lemongrass, galangal, and turmeric. The dish is often garnished with fresh herbs, such as coriander and mint, and served with a side of sambal, a spicy chili paste that can be added to taste.
Kota Kinabalu, located in the state of Sabah in Malaysia, has a rich history and is home to several historic buildings that date back to the colonial era. Here are some of the oldest buildings in Kota Kinabalu:
Atkinson Clock Tower - Built in 1905, the Atkinson Clock Tower is one of the oldest surviving structures in Kota Kinabalu. It was named after Francis George Atkinson, the first district officer of Jesselton (now Kota Kinabalu) .The Atkinson Clock Tower is is located on the highest point of Signal Hill overlooking the city.
Sabah Tourism Board Building - Originally built in the early 1900s as the Jesselton Club, the building served as a social club for British expatriates. During World War II, it was used as a military hospital by the Japanese. After the war, it was used as a government office and eventually became the headquarters of the Sabah Tourism Board.
The former historic Welfare Building site along Jalan Haji Saman in Kota Kinabalu was once the location of a historic building that served as a welfare home for women and children during the British colonial era. The building was constructed in 1915 and was known as the All Souls' Home. During World War II, the building was used as a military hospital by the Japanese occupation forces. After the war, it was used as a government office before falling into disrepair and eventually being demolished in the 1990s. Today, the site is home to a commercial building and parking lot.

IMAGINING THE EAST INDIES
The idea of the “East Indies” was a largely European construct, shaped by the European
exploration of and commercial interest in Southeast Asia. This gave rise to the charting and
imaging of the region and its peoples, with the resulting images of the East Indies disseminated
and popularised through print. This talk explores some of the artwork currently on display in the
special exhibition An Old New World: From the East Indies to the Founding of Singapore,
1600s−1819, and demonstrates how these images reveal, more than anything, the European
imagination of the East Indies.
