  • Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) is the capital of the Indian state of West Bengal. It is located in eastern India on the east bank of the River Hooghly. The city has a population of almost 5 million, with an extended metropolitan population of over 14 million, making it the third-largest urban agglomeration and the fourth-largest city in India...The city served as the capital of India during the British Raj until 1911. Once the centre of modern education, science, culture and politics in India, Kolkata witnessed economic stagnation in the years following India's independence in 1947. However, since the year 2000 an economic rejuvenation has arrested the morbid decline, leading to a spurt in the city's growth. Like other large cities, Kolkata continues to struggle with urbanisation problems like poverty, pollution and traffic congestion. A vibrant city with a distinct socio-political culture, Kolkata is noted for its revolutionary history, ranging from the Indian struggle for independence to the leftist and trade union movements..

  • Darwin the 'capital' of northern Australia is closer to Jakarta than it is to Sydney, and closer to Singapore than it is to Melbourne, so it should come as no surprise that it looks outward to Asia as much as it looks inland to the rest of Australia...This proximity and familiarity with Australia's northern neighbours is reflected in the town's relaxed, cosmopolitan, tropical atmosphere. In a country that prides itself on its ethnic diversity, Darwin may be the most multicultural city of all...Modern Darwin is one of Australia's most cosmopolitan cities, more open to Asia than perhaps any other Australian city. It plays an important role as the front door to Australia's northern region and as a centre for administration and mining. The port facilities have recently had a major upgrade, and the completion in mid-2003 of a railway link to Alice Springs has locals hoping Darwin will become the continent's transport hub with Southeast Asia...Darwin is a compact area at the end of a peninsula in the far north of the Northern Territory, west of Arnhem Land. Most of what you'll want in central Darwin is within two or three blocks of the main shopping centre, Smith St mall. The suburbs spread a good 12 to 15km (7 to 9mi) to the north and east..

  • Coffee growing in Buon Ma Thuot, Vietnam for a GTZ / Nestle Project - 7 Nov 05

  • Motor cyclist passing by one of the blue sheet fronted resorts. Mui Ne, a strip of beach near the town of Phan Thiet, 200 km north of Ho Chi Minh City has earned itself the reputation as one of the most popular beach resort destination's in Vietnam. However its growth over the last 10 years from a sleepy one resort destination to one of multiple resorts with all its attendant facilities has come at a cost. Resorts built along the Mui Ne beach strip are now being challenged by the sea resulting in significant beach erosion that if not checked could ultimately destroy the appeal to tourists of this magnificent strip of Vietnamese coastline. In the developers rush to satisfy the growing demands from both international and vietnamese tourists sustainable development has been ignored for the short term gain. To prevent the erosion of the beach and in many case's their own properties resort owner are using blue plastic sheeting to try to fend off the sea.
