Podcasts and Vlogs

Yeah Vlogs with a V! as in Video Logs. How about that? Well here are some examples:

An interesting video log about a cambodian person that lived in the US, married and then made a trip back to her home. The last posts are about this trip to her cambodian village. Very interesting.

Some video logs from a Hawaiian girl and a Canadian guy. This is the opposite side of the coin (from my point of view) about everyday life in the developed world as opposed to the third world.

A very interesting contrast. I would say that for someone from, say US or Canada, who have never seen life in the third world. I am pretty sure they would be shocked from the "Village girl" Vlog. And someone from the third world looking at the other Vlogs would also be shocked about life in the first world.

Take a look at them and think about it.

Linking makes me happy :)

I live in the wonderful world of Dial up land so I can't check out the video just yet, but WAIT, there's an interesting twist.

I myself lived for 2 months in the centre of Lesotho without electricity or running water, on a culture tour with my school in South Africa.

The plot thickens.
