In the northern mountains of Vietnam, live some of Vietnam’s 56 minority groups. You can visit their villages and share their traditional lifestyle for a while, all the time recording what you see. In Yunnan, in South-west China, the Dai, Bai and Naxi peoples are proud to display their colourful traditional costumes as they go about their daily lives in their villages and towns with traditional architecture. But be careful. Some ethnic minorities have cultural prohibitions against photography. Just ask first.

Especially in Vietnam, one can see the blending of French and Vietnamese architecture, with a little Chinese influence thrown in too. In Hanoi, the French mansions line boulevards that could have been imported directly from France. In Cambodia, the Khmer architecture reaches its peak in the 12th century temple of Angkor Wat. This is one scenic area that demands photography!

For natural wonders, the karst islands of Halong Bay in northern Vietnam are hard to beat. Thousands of islands rise from the seabed creating a mystical panorama. The island beaches of Thailand are stunning and no one should miss the vivid turquoise seas which surround Indochina. The rivers that irrigate the whole area also offer many photography possibilities – whether from the natural wonder or for the communities who live beside and on the rivers. The floating markets of the Mekong Delta in southern Vietnam are a prime example of the photogenic. Phu Quoc in the far south is Vietnam’s largest, and most beautiful, island and it is known as an ideal place to catch the sunset.

The local holidays and festivals also offer special photography opportunities. The important water festival known as Pimai in Laos is a colourful event celebrated across Indochina. Be careful to keep your camera dry!

No matter which interests you have photography tours can be arranged to your special requirements to ensure you miss nothing. Whatever you do, bring spare batteries and lots of memory capacity – you are sure to go home with many more pictures than you thought possible.

Following questions:

* What can you start doing to ensure that you are raising money savvy children?
* As they grow into young adults, will they spend within their means, avoid unnecessary debt and make informed and wise consumer decisions?

The fact is that children want to learn about money! Recent statistics show that “94% of young people believe it is important to know how to manage money, but only few say they are taught how to!”. Getting children into the habit of saving instead of overspending can, and should start early in their lives.

Five tips can be taught to set goals, plan, budget, save, invest and spend wisely:

* Teach by example: Children do learn by example. So controlling spending and sticking to a sensible budget will help your children learn to do the same. Be a good role model.

* Explain the difference between wants and needs: Help children know the difference between wanting stuff and having needs. And also the pleasure gained in saving and eventually spending money on the things they want.

* Teach the value of money: Take kids and teenagers along on grocery shopping trips and talk about how to become savvy shoppers and bargain hunters.

* Encourage kids and teens to shop sensibly: The best way to reinforce what you teach your kids is to have them practice saving and spending. They would learn a lot quicker from spending decisions, whether good or not so good.

* Encourage kids and teens to give: Teach them about giving to charity, tithes and generally being aware of the needs of the less fortunate. Use examples to show them how their contributions, no matter how little can make a difference in the lives of others.

It is better to invest in teaching kids and teens how to save, give and spend wisely now than to teach them how to get out of debt or deal with the consequences of the wrong financial decisions later on in life.

A high protein diet is recommended by most sports nutritionists. In fact, if you lead an exceptionally active lifestyle that includes regular aerobic/anaerobic exercise, the recommended daily protein intake should ideally fall within 1 to 1.5 grams per pound of body weight. Protein plays a fundamental role in building up strength and muscles mass, which could be lost if you were to follow a physically active lifestyle without taking in these basic building blocks essential to repairing fatigued and ripped muscle tissue, and building it back stronger. Stick to lean meats like chicken breasts, steak, cottage cheese, or other dairy products with low quantities of fat.

Another important part of sports nutrition includes carbohydrates. There are two basic types of carbohydrates: simple carbohydrates, and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbs are those that are absorbed rapidly by your body. In other words, they will be converted into blood glucose rapidly and will generate a quick spike of energy that will last you for a very short amount of time. On the other hand, complex carbs are absorbed by your body at a steady yet constant rate, supplying your body with a stable flow of energy that can keep it running for long periods of time where physical endurance and athletic performance are demanded. For these reasons, try to avoid simple carbs and stick to complex carbs as much as possible. Foods like wholewheat bread, oats, brown rice, and brown pasta can be considered complex carbs.

As a final note, remember that contrary to popular belief, not all fats are bad for you. Many foods that contain healthy saturated fats are recommended as they can provide your body with Omega 3 fatty acids while helping to keep your blood cholesterol levels in check. You should avoid sugar-laden fatty products containing mono-insaturated fats and hydrogenated vegetable oil at all costs, however. In general, if you follow a nutritional plan built to improve your athletic performance, you will be surprised to see just how drastic the change can be on your on-field game.

* Solid signs of a firming market,
* With interest rates near all-time lows,
* Buying now is a no-brainer,
* Get in now, before the huge pent-up demand for homes hits,
* What a great time to buy with low interest rates and a good supply of homes for sale,
* Act fast now, or you may be paying thousands more in a few months.

We have heard these same phrases since 2005. The major difference was that in 2005 and 2006 many of the Gurus were adding phrases:

* It’s only a normal pull-back,
* It’s known as a ‘pause to refresh’,
* This is a once in a lifetime buying opportunity before the market resumes it’s double digit yearly appreciation.

Amazingly in San Diego, California, is the local media talking-heads still go back to the same industry spokespeople to get their 60 second optimistic new year outlook for the 6:00PM news.

Naturally, I’d like to join this optimistic, self-promoting crowd, but sorry, I have to tell it like I see it.

The title of this article says it all. After the $8,000, Federal and California home buyer credits expired, the local San Diego real estate market entered into a double-dip continued erosion of home values.

After the homebuyer credits concluded, San Diego home values saw modest price appreciation. Now even this modest appreciation has disappeared. Even more troubling is that the resale home sales volume has been dropping at double digit rates for the last few months. Just from April to May the western states sales dropped a reported 20.9%. Huge double-digit declines in home sales are a major red flag that cannot be ignored.

When will the government learn that you cannot artificially create lasting demand? (Statistics show the vast majority of government housing programs, costing billions, are outright failures and have only prolonged our malaise.) I believe the best thing the government can do is to stay out of the housing market and let the open market clean up the mess.

Think about this: Bernanke initially spent almost $2 trillion to drive long-term interest rates down.

The $600 billion QE2 has no effect to date. Actually, interest rates have moved up substantially. There are a few months left, but I am sure Bernanke will use the “it would have been much worse” argument and declare success. The reality is that there will be no QE3, not with Ron Paul now as the watchdog of the Fed.

Our aging population, combined with a decreased standard of living can’t equate to housing starts comparable to prior generations. I think our government’s relentless destruction of the middle class is making this different from prior real estate cycles.

Foreclosure moratoriums are beginning to expire. I believe the banks will push to clean up their portfolios through increased foreclosures.

Except for cash buyers, home pricing is derived from the affordability of the monthly payment. Should interest rates and taxes go up (a good bet), the purchase price will have to come down to establish a market. Construction labor is already about as cheap as you can get it and inflation for materials is already present. This spells very bad news for homebuilders.

As far as pent-up buyer demand goes, the gurus again have it backwards. It’s not buyer pent-up demand, but seller pent-up demand to unload their homes.

The depth and longevity of this San Diego housing value depression has been imbedded into the consciousness of the usual first wave of home buyers in their late 20′s and early 30′s. The high cost of living in San Diego has been further stressed with continued multiple raises in utilities, increased state taxes/fees, higher education costs and $3.00+ per gallon gas prices. This all equates to over-priced homes in the current world of qualifying for a home mortgage.

I just believe there are major problems with our economy at play that we have never seen before and that will have a deciding call on what happens with housing. I see demand based on finance rather than population at this point.

During the mid 2000′s, almost the entire mortgage universe had been refinanced. This included many baby boomers that were in the last half of the 30-year mortgage they took out when they purchased their home. Some of this was hopefully to pay down other expenses and not to maintain their fantasy of the luxury lifestyle. The refinancing bubble that resulted from the irresponsible actions of Greenspan reset the 30-year mortgage clock. All borrowers looked at, was how the refinance lowered their house payment by $X per month, without giving a second thought to the fact that they have also extended the term to a new 30-year loan.

Another round of refinancing occurred when Bernanke pushed rates down to the 4% range. The only borrowers left who have not refinanced are those with no equity and/or are facing foreclosure.

In either case, now many Boomers who are reaching the traditional retirement age, find themselves strapped with 20+ years left on their refinanced mortgages. Instead of preparing for the mortgage burning party that their parents had when that generation retired, they are wondering how they can make house payments on a lower income during retirement.

Since this is the first year of the boomers reaching 65, it is going to be a negative drag on housing for years to come.

For the San Diego and California real estate market we have to contend with our own Cap & Tax laws going into effect in 2011 that will increase utility costs by 20% over the next five and speeding up the loss of manufacturing jobs. We also have a new, old governor who was against proposition 13 which sets a maximum cap on property taxes and will likely propose new massive state taxes to deal with a $25.4 billion budget deficit.

If you have stayed with me this long, I’ll wrap things up by saying I personally do not see any real base building in the San Diego real estate market until 2012. Naturally, I hope I’m wrong and 2011 sees a big jump in San Diego home appreciation. With 30+ plus years of residential experience and my 2005 article that foretold this national housing bust, I wouldn’t bet against me.
