Cityscapes of Gaza City
August 23, 2012 - Gaza City, Palestinian Territories: A general view shows Gaza City from the top in the central of Gaza strip, on August 23, 2012. The Gaza Strip has small construction and handicrafts industries, and some farming, including citrus fruits, olives, and livestock. However, Gaza depends on Israel for nearly 90% of its imports (largely food, consumer goods, and construction materials) and exports (mainly citrus fruit and other agricultural products), as well as employment. The economy, such as it is, has been devastated by recent fighting and, since 2007, the Israeli blockade. (Majdi Fathi/APAimages/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

(110420) -- LHASA, April 20, 2011 (Xinhua) -- Photo taken on April 4, 2011 shows students painting thankga at Tibet Pende Targye Vocational Technical Welfare School in Lhasa, capital of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.
Located in a common residential area in eastern Lhasa, the classrooms and dormitories of Tibet Pende Targye Vocational Technical Welfare School are scattered in five corners of the community. Now the school is home for about 80 Tibetan children, who are orphans or from poverty-stricken families in Tibet Autonomous Region and adjacent Sichuan, Qinghai and Gansu provinces. They are divided into five classes, each studying one kind of Tibetan handicraft, such as thangka painting, carpet weaving, metal carving, brass molding, etc. At daytime, students learn different handicrafts, and in the evening, they have classes of Chinese and Tibetan language. All their expenses at school, including boarding cost, medical treatment, studying materials, are all free of charge.
Though single and childless, Zhang Li, a 1970's girl from southeast China's Fujian Province, is the guardian of the 80 children. As the school principal, for half a year, she lives in the school with her students, whom she called "my children", for the rest of the year, she frequently shuttles between big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen to do projects of real estate consultation and management, which is her previous profession and now the main source of money supporting her school. Zhang used to own two real estate consulting companies in Hangzhou and Xiamen. Then, earning a lot from the profitable business, she lived a delicate and wealthy life of a typical urban girl, wearing clothes of luxury brands. But she always felt a sense of emptiness, no matter how hard she worked. In 2000, she took a trip to Tibet and instantly fell in love with it.

(110420) -- LHASA, April 20, 2011 (Xinhua) -- The combo photo taken on April 20, 2011 shows Zekyi (L) learning from thankga master Puncog Doje and his thankga paintings at Tibet Pende Targye Vocational Technical Welfare School in Lhasa, capital of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.
Located in a common residential area in eastern Lhasa, the classrooms and dormitories of Tibet Pende Targye Vocational Technical Welfare School are scattered in five corners of the community. Now the school is home for about 80 Tibetan children, who are orphans or from poverty-stricken families in Tibet Autonomous Region and adjacent Sichuan, Qinghai and Gansu provinces. They are divided into five classes, each studying one kind of Tibetan handicraft, such as thangka painting, carpet weaving, metal carving, brass molding, etc. At daytime, students learn different handicrafts, and in the evening, they have classes of Chinese and Tibetan language. All their expenses at school, including boarding cost, medical treatment, studying materials, are all free of charge.
Though single and childless, Zhang Li, a 1970's girl from southeast China's Fujian Province, is the guardian of the 80 children. As the school principal, for half a year, she lives in the school with her students, whom she called "my children", for the rest of the year, she frequently shuttles between big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen to do projects of real estate consultation and management, which is her previous profession and now the main source of money supporting her school. Zhang used to own two real estate consulting companies in Hangzhou and Xiamen. Then, earning a lot from the profitable business, she lived a delicate and wealthy life of a typical urban girl, wearing clothes of luxury brands. But she always felt a sense of emptiness, no matter how hard she worked. In 2000, she took a trip to Tibet and instantly fell in love with it.

Chiang Mai, Thailand
CHARMED BY CHIANG MAI
Chiang Mai is Thailand's "Rose of the North" - so called because of the abundance of flowers that thrive in its cooler mountain climate.
And the city itself has its own fair share of outstanding natural beauty, not to mention friendly locals; if you want to get away from busy Bangkok, but still want to stay in a big city with lots of things to do, Chiang Mai is the place to be.
Chiang Mai is the largest and most culturally significant city in northern Thailand, and is the capital of Chiang Mai Province.
In recent years Chiang Mai has become an increasingly modern city, although it still lacks the cosmopolitan nature of Bangkok. However, its multitude of attractions still attract thousands of foreign visitors each year.
And long before this influx of modern foreign visitors, the city served as an important centre for handcrafted goods, umbrellas, jewelry (particularly silver) and woodcarving because of its strategic location on an ancient trade route.
Chiang Mai was founded in 1296 by King Mengrai with the help of two of his royal friends; it soon became capital of the old Lanna kingdom. Its somewhat isolated location, amidst the rolling foot hills of the Himalayan Mountains 700 km north of Bangkok, meant that up until the 1920s the city could only be reached by an arduous river journey or an elephant back trip. This isolation has helped keep Chiang Mai's distinctive charm intact to this day.
When he first built the city, King Mengrai constructed a moat and a wall around it to protect it against raids from Burma. Chiang Mai literally means "New Walled City". Though the cit...
