21.01.2022 During my travels I discovered a small town called Salaya (population 30,000). It is located on the far west coast of Gujarat and overlooks the Arabian Sea. It has been a centre of ship building since biblical times. The boats are built entirely by hand. No machinery, power tools or even working drawings are used. #greatburialplaces #salaya #sinbadthesailor https://www.linguasetbooks.com.au//where-did-sinbad-the-sa

20.01.2022 What a difference 43 years make. I lived in Beijing in 1973-1974 - there were only about 3,000 foreigners in the whole of China in those days and our lives were very circumscribed. There were no foreign tourists. #greatburialplaces #thatwasthenthisisnow https://www.linguasetbooks.com.au//what-a-difference-43-ye
10.01.2022 Traditional burials in hanging coffins are practised by the Igorot tribe of the northern Philippines, though they only take place every few years or so now. One of the most common beliefs behind this practice is that moving the bodies of the dead higher up brings them closer to their ancestral spirits. #greatburialplaces #hangingcoffins #igorottribe #closertogod https://www.linguasetbooks.com.au//theyre-definitely-close
