Hope everyone enjoyed yesterday’s video, Namaste India, as much as we did.  We’re following up with a visit to one of our favorite, and definitely one of the more off the beaten path places in the world, Laos!  

With what seems like endless lush jungle covered mountains.  Only broken by small villages of bamboo huts; bright green rice patties; big rivers; more water buffalos than cars.  And with french colonial influences everywhere you look.  Beauty abounds!

To take you on this epic journey we are pleased to feature- In Asia - Episode 3 - Laos by Vincent Urban.  Part three in a lovely series of videos shot in S. E. Asia, each one worthy of our list.  Spend five minutes and gain a perspective on what life is like in this little corner of the planet. 

Stay tuned as Portraits of Asia continues tomorrow.  Lots of great videos to come… Tell us what you think!

To kick off our new series, Portraits of Asia.  We have chosen, Namaste India a film by Burning Flag.

This is one of our all time favorite short films. In just over three minutes you’ll become one with the sights, sounds, people and places that make India special.  Get a glimpse of Rajasthan, the Taj Mahal, the Himalayas and much, much more.  

We hope you enjoy the first installment of the series.  Please share your thoughts with us, we’d love to hear them!

I know we promised Social@TripStory would be our social hub, and I know recently we’ve been slacking on the frequency of new posts, but all that ends now.  We are pleased to introduce a new series of posts; Portraits of Asia! For the next couple of weeks we’ll be posting some of our favorite videos of Asia.  From Bali to India, from Sri Lanka to Bhutan.  We’ve put together a list of videos that will take you from one corner of Asia to the other and back again!  We’ve been to many of these places, others are on our bucket list.  They have many things in common- they’re all beautiful; unique; and special! And they all scream… Asia! If you’ve never been, these videos will take you there.  Get the juices flowing, let the dreaming begin.  If you’ve already been, this will take you right back! Hope you enjoy and happy travels!Alan & Brian, TripStory Team Angkor Wat, Cambodia© 2006 Alan Zapolsky. All rights reserved.
