By Kirsty Young North Cyprus is must be an Mediterranean islands; unspoiled countryside, wooden baby cribs eserted golden beaches, historic sights uncluttered by tour buses, fresh tasty food and friendly people. The modern Cypriot is a blend of races and cultural influences from the Phoenicians to the Ottomans via the Romans, Egyptians and Venetians. North Cyprus then adds its own Turkish spice to the mix! North Cyprus is truly a place of EXile , separated from the south of Cyprus by the UN buffer zone that runs smack through the middle of the capital city, Nicosia. Relaxed border regulations now mean that Cypriots from both sides can flow across the border with ease, and North Cyprus is welcoming visitors again with open arms. The best place to base yourself in North Cyprus is Kyrenia, known locally as Girne. Here, the pretty Venetian harbour is the focus of activity, where you can sit back and enjoy the view over the water from one of the numerous café tables. The English-speaking waiters are usually friendly and flirty but not overbearing; if you want to sit with a Turkish coffee and baklava and read, that's just fine by them. So EXhale that stress and INhale that sea air! To EXplore North Cyprus fully, you will need a hire car, and if you like to EXplore wild areas, like the rugged Karpas peninsula, a 4x4 is a wise investment. (Local transport is by shared minibuses, which seem to turn up whenever it suits them and pack in as many passengers as possible.

I really find both the subject matter ("ubiquitous computing in the service of sustainability") and the medium (using flickr with notes) really interesting. I think that people have looked mainly (and understandably) at flickr for photo-sharing but have missed the learning and community of practice/interest potentials that are here.

A lot of people heard about the devastation caused by the earthquake in Indonesia. I was on Phi Phi Don island off the Andaman coast of Thailand when the tidal wave hit. Not really up to posting the full story as yet, but here's some info I emailed to family members. We were on a boat tour when the captain dramatically veered off course (we were headed to remote Bamboo Island) and was frantically talking on his cell phone. Their English was very poor so it was not clear what was going on. Long story short, we got on the beach but were too low when the tidal wave struck. It created a flash flood effect and I was in the middle of rapids containing debris, wood and all matter of building material. Ton Sai, the main village and also the pier, are completely leveled is the rumor. I cut my knee up pretty bad and have trouble walking but nothing broken. I am fine considering the state of most of Phi Phi and the rest of the folks here in Phuket hospital. Unfortunately, slim light ll of our stuff was on a bungalow hotel called Maprao about 40 minutes from where the boat landed so we were not able to go back and get any of our things. Thus, currently nearly penniless, passport-less, travel insurance-less etc. at the moment. But at the hospital everything is free including email access. Unfortunately, the US embassy has not been very helpful in contrast to other embassies and we don't know much logistically in terms of loans, passports, retreiving our stuff, etc.
