I waited a few minutes as she walked, very slowly and deliberately. She completely ignored me and I’m not quite sure if I even registered, as she walked right by me. I really love the single bunny slipper that she’s wearing.

Chang Le is a small village that sits on the ancient Tea and Horse Caravan Road, which is lesser known than the famous Silk Road that ran through China. From China, this road passed through Tibet and onto India. Chang Le is a small quiet farming village whose main crop is rice. As typical with many villages in China, the inhabitants were the old who tend the farms and the grandchildren. The people of working age most likely have gone off to the larger cities in search of work.Chang Le VillageYunnan Province, ChinaJuly 2011

Situated in the highlands of Lombok Island, Koal is a remote village inhabited by the indigenous people called the Sasak.  We drove for a few hours until the roads became dirt and rock, and another hour more until the van went no further. We started hiking up the mountain until we reached the village of Koal. What we saw up there took my breath away.
