At least you did not copy it without even acknowledging the work of this small press that can now hardly survive due to the extensive 'sharing' on the internet of its publishing work. Some of the French sources are now also available in English.<br /><br />Dr. Walter E. J.

I can't wait to read your post about your library. My favorite bookstore is actually at the Bangkok airport as they have a wonderful selection of books on the subject of Asia from small publishing houses.<br /><br />Happy new year,<br />francineFrancine Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02042631088215474109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-86112606989902672702014-01-07T03:09:20.732-08:002014-01-07T03:09:20.732-08:00This takes me back Diane!

I must say I don't use the word peaceful as much to describe places anymore as Luang Prabang was genuinely so peaceful...Did you go to the water falls which was about another 40 mins away from the Residence? It was so beautiful with aqua swimmable lagoons and there was a bear sanctuary there. Along the way were Hmong villages selling their wares. I am so glad you can spread the word to your wider audience. Coulda shoulda wouldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507021618497645667noreply@blogger.com
