Looking East... Change is coming.

#Asia

Taken from the comics Corto Maltese in Siberia (1982) by Hugo Pratt, two soldiers look at me; one wears a chapka, the other one has a military-style hood. Les deux couvre-chefs sont caractéristiques de la cavalerie soviétique révolutionnaire.

L'un est bolchévique et l'autre cosaque (Merci Vaasco)

East and #SoutheastAsia have the most populated time zones in the world.

Yet most so-called "global" #civilsociety calls or meetings are set at times that are incredibly inconvenient for those of us here. And, as a result, you see so few #Asians participating in a lot of global networks. It's a self-defeating cycle.

#Biden calls #America’s democratic values the “grounding wire of our global power” & its #alliances “our greatest asset.” …#Trump, called for withdrawing American forces in #Europe & #Asia & has promised… to cut loose even our closest #allies if they don’t do as he tells them. …Trump sees all countries as unreliable, the relations between them #transactional. That sentiment has spread throughout a #GOP that once championed America’s values abroad…

The riverside comes alive with colorful lanterns reflecting on the water, as boats glide along under a softly fading sky. The warm glow of lights from Hoi An’s buildings adds a magical touch to this peaceful evening scene.

This image captures an evening scene along the Hoi An River in Vietnam. In the foreground, traditional wooden boats float on the calm water, each boat decorated with colorful paper lanterns that softly glow. The lanterns cast reflections on the water's surface, creating a shimmering, multicolored effect. Along the riverbank, there are rows of low, old-fashioned buildings with dark roofs, lit warmly from within, and more lanterns hang outside. The scene is busy with people, both on the boats and along the riverbank, enjoying the evening. Above, the sky is transitioning from light blue to soft purple as dusk falls, giving the scene a peaceful, almost dreamlike quality. The river and lanterns together evoke a sense of calm and festivity.
