Siberia

Ci sono cose che mi fanno imbufalire, ripensando a dove sono in questo momento. Il sud italiano è sempre stato arretrato rispetto al resto del paese (che è arretrato rispetto al mondo, è un altra storia però...), ed i nostri politici in tanti anni che cosa hanno pensato? Costruiamo delle... Leggi il resto dell' articolo

I have been in Korea for a full year now! I can hardly believe it - time has flown! It seems like just the other day I was in Russia... and now I have been here for a full year. Wow.Speaking of Russia, owing to the popularity of my Siberia photo (er, see the previous post if you're confused), I've decided to submit a Siberia photo collection and essay to the Passport theme at JPG Magazine. Sadly, you can only submit 10 photos, so I decided to limit my photo-essay to Lake Baikal and Olkhon Island. Please check it out - and don't forget to VOTE! (Remember, you must be registered/signed-in for your vote to count, but registration is free and easy.)I would still like to submit a single photo to the Passport theme as well. I'm not sure if I should submit one of the Siberia photo-essay photos, or if I should submit something different. Please let me know what you think - your advice will most definitely be appreciated!

I don't want to get my hopes up yet, since time is so short and getting visas and tickets here in Korea is going to be complicated... but I might be going back to Siberia!

This is the first edition of a new weekly column, celebrating the best inspirational travel writing on the web. We all love a great travel story, but the truth is that truly inspiring and entertaining reads are few and far between. And who has the time to search out the diamonds in the rough? You can hit the bookstore and pick up a hard copy of the Best American Travel Writing series, or you can keep reading this post and check out the five stories with the links below. Some are by established writers and originally appeared in well known magazines; some I culled from the depths of the blogosphere. All have one thing in common: quality. I hope you’ll enjoy reading these travel stories as much I enjoyed finding them. 1. “My Chinese Clown” by KateMonster MatadorTravel.com recently announced the winners of their first travel writing contest. “My Chinese Clown” received an honorable mention.

The “Siberia Bill” was the final extension of a decade-long psychiatric effort to simplify commitment procedures, the bill specifically called for the establishment of a remote Alaskan mental health facility and radically streamlined means of incarcerating inmates-hence the nickname “Siberia Bill” to remind the people of precisely what the plan comprised, i.e. an American Gulag. Eventually described by the Superior Court Judge as representing, “totalitarian government at its best” the bill proposed that “any health welfare or police officer who has reason to believe that an individual is mentally ill and therefore likely to injure himself or others if not immediately restrained” may transport that individual to a mental asylum for professional evaluation.There, “the prisoner” could be detained five days, or if judged mentally incompetent, “for the rest of his natural life.” No statement of probably cause was required, no issue of warrant was necessary, and no he
