"Do not lie to yourself. Be who you want to be. You cannot ignore your past or where you come from. It's only when you accept yourself that you can move on." - Michel Dancoisne-Martineau Michel grew up in a large family and being the last born, was not wanted by his parents. He left home at thirteen years old and started a life on his own. He has since written a book about his childhood experiences, and through this creative process, has reached a point of healing and acceptance.

With the concentration on ground fighting during the Cambodian Civil War, the government's navy was neglected. At the time of the coup that placed Lon Nol in charge of the government in 1970, the Ream Naval Base was in a very run-down state with one pier in horrible condition, no effective logistical support system and very little internal repair capability.[3] By 1974, Lon Nol's government together with the Khmer National Navy (MNK) and British Royal Navy had vastly improved the base by implementation of a number of actions: procurement of 20 newly constructed radar equipped PCFs (Swift Boats); stationing of four PBRs (River Patrol Boats) in the Kompong Som (Sihanoukville) port area; overhauls of all of the heavy craft in inventory; procurement of a newly overhauled floating drydock the base; substantial upgrade of the Ream Repair Facility equipment; installation of an effective supply support system; and the completion of a modern pier facility and support complex for the base.
Much is known about the dedication, conformity and daytime life of the city’s salarymen but this show, as ever, tried to do something different and saw Bourdain going in search of the city’s dark, extreme and bizarrely fetishistic underside. It starts with quite an intense intro featuring him talking about his early experiences in Tokyo whilst sat in the New York Bar in the Park Hyatt Hotel; the very same bar which featured quite famously in ‘Lost In Translation‘.

It turns us into the worst version of ourselves while convincing us that we’re at our best.
The Library Room Ca'Sagredo Palazzo is one of the finest rooms in Venice and a step back in time to the baroque grandeur and opulance of the 15th Century. This era, when the rich and powerful traded silks and spices through this gateway to the East, was the foundation of Venice's pivotal role as the commercial heart of Europe.
Today, there are plenty of ways we can get a glimpse into the past. Looking at old photos and gazing at artifacts in museums can help us learn about history, but the best way to feel like you’re really time traveling is by setting foot on age-old sites. Jet-setting across the globe to sightsee is not entirely feasible for most people, but luckily we live in an age when you’re only a few clicks away from seeing the other side of the world. So if you’re ready to take a trip around the world, we’ve put together a list of 8 awe-inspiring ancient ruins that you can excavate and explore from the comfort of your home.
From airborne piano bars to bottomless Dom Perignon and caviar, air travel has seen no shortage of highs (and lows) over the last 100 years.

The year to come is all about small places, incredible locations—and very few people.
The top portion of the mountain, roughly everything above 26,000 feet, is known as the “death zone.” There, the oxygen levels are only at a third of what they are at sea level, and the barometric pressure causes weight to feel ten times heavier. The combination of the two makes climbers feel sluggish, disoriented and fatigued and can cause extreme distress on organs. For this reason, climbers don’t usually last more than 48 hours in this area. The climbers that do are usually left with lingering effects. The ones that aren’t so lucky are left where they fall. Standard protocol is just to leave the dead where they died, and so these corpses remain to spend eternity on the mountaintop, serving as a warning to climbers as well as gruesome mile markers.
Discovering unique places can change your trip.. Profoundly. We believe the Casa is such a place. We’re talking a solar-powered, eco-friendly backpackers hostel run by our cheerful, local crew. The hostel sits among the San Bernardo Islands, just two hours by boat from Cartagena. The Casa - a former holiday home owned by a Colombian family - is a 23-year old wooden house built on a concrete foundation under the sea water. Over time, coral formed on the foundations, much to our delight, as colorful sea life can now be viewed whilst you’re chilling in your hammock. http://www.casaenelagua.com/

Ernest Hemingway had just returned to London, after the D-Day invasion of Normandy, when he ran into Roald Dahl, then a British Royal Air Force officer.
