Silversmiths in Chiang Mai. 21/03/2012
 Silver Handbag Over 100 years ago, the Hilltribe peoples migrated south from China into what are now Burma, Laos, Vietnam,
and Thailand. Approximately twenty distinct tribes of semi-nomadic peoples, collectively called hill tribes, live in the mountains along the Burmese and Laotian borders of northern Thailand. Culturally the tribes are of interest due to the fact their general remote location has made it possible for them to hold on to pretty much unrevised cultures and ways of life that go back 100's of years.

History and uses of the "Galleon" 10/01/2012
 Spanish Galleon The term "galleon" had been in use long before the ship type that it now technically refers to came into existence. Just like the term "frigate", the term "galleon" was originally applied to certain types of war galleys in the Middle Ages. The Annali Genovesi mentions galleons of 80, 64 and 60 oars used for speed in battle and on missions of exploration, in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. It is very likely that the galleons and galliots mentioned in the accounts of the crusades were, in fact, the same vessels. Later, when the term started to be applied to sail only vessels, it simply meant, like the term "man of war", a powerfully fitted out war vessel. Thus, some of the early ocean going "galleons" were designated galleons because of their use and not because of their design.  Original Chinese Junk From the 13th century, Wokou or "Japanese pirates" primarily based in Japan made their first appearance in Far eastern Parts of Asia, beginning invasions that would remain a problem for around 300 years.
Piracy in The southern area of East Asian countries started off with the retreating Mongol Yuan navy following the betrayal by their Javanese partners, who, by the way, would create the kingdom of Majapahit right after the Mongols left. They favored the junk, a vessel utilizing an extra strong sail structure. Abandoned navy officers, composed largely of Cantonese and Hokkien tribesmen, established their modest bands close to stream estuaries, mostly to safeguard them selves. They enrolled local people as common foot-soldiers well-known as 'lang' (lanun) to establish their fortresses. They made it through by making use of their effectively trained pugilists, with maritime and navigation expertise, mainly along Sumatran and Javanese estuaries. Their toughness and vitality coincided with the approaching trade development of the seagoing silk and spice shipping routes. Creation and atributes of shipmodels. 28/12/2011
