  • 23 AUGUST 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND:    A vendor sorts Kaffir lime leaves (Citrus hystrix DC., Rutaceae), also known as kieffer lime, makrut, or magrood in Pak Khlong Talad in Bangkok. Thailand entered a “technical” recession this month after the economy shrank by 0.3% in the second quarter of the year. The 0.3% contraction in gross domestic product between April and June followed a previous fall of 1.7% during the first quarter of 2013. The contraction is being blamed on a drop in demand for exports, a drop in domestic demand and a loss of consumer confidence. At the same time, the value of the Thai Baht against the US Dollar has dropped significantly, from a high of about 28Baht to $1 in April to 32THB to 1USD in August.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

  • 10 MARCH 2013 - ALONG HIGHWAY 13, LAOS:  A woman harvests cabbages in a field along Highway 13 in rural Laos. The paving of Highway 13 from Vientiane to near the Chinese border has changed the way of life in rural Laos. Villagers near Luang Prabang used to have to take unreliable boats that took three hours round trip to get from the homes to the tourist center of Luang Prabang, now they take a 40 minute round trip bus ride. North of Luang Prabang, paving the highway has been an opportunity for China to use Laos as a transshipping point. Chinese merchandise now goes through Laos to Thailand where it's put on Thai trains and taken to the deep water port east of Bangkok. The Chinese have also expanded their economic empire into Laos. Chinese hotels and businesses are common in northern Laos and in some cities, like Oudomxay, are now up to 40% percent. As the roads are paved, more people move away from their traditional homes in the mountains of Laos and crowd the side of the road living off tourists' and truck drivers.    PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

Hall said he drives a tourist bus but as the tourism and leisure industry has suffered in the recession his work in disappearing and in March he only work five days.

Each box of food cost $16 and contains enough food for five meals for two people, including meat, fruit and vegetables and starches. In addition to the food boxes, the food bank gives away perishables, like fresh baked goods and produce, that are donated by Phoenix area grocery stores and food producers. She said the number of donations to the food bank have increased as the economy has worsened but each donation is smaller and the gap between donations and what the food bank needs is widening.

She said that at this time in 2008, about 175 people a week (the food bank is open one day a week) bought 200 boxes a food but now they were seeing about 350 people per week and they were buying 400-450 boxes of food per week. Each box of food cost $16 and contains enough food for five meals for two people, including meat, fruit and vegetables and starches. In addition to the food boxes, the food bank gives away perishables, like fresh baked goods and produce, that are donated by Phoenix area grocery stores and food producers. She said the number of donations to the food bank have increased as the economy has worsened but each donation is smaller and the gap between donations and what the food bank needs is widening.

The morning market in Ubud is for produce and meat and serves local people from about 4:30 AM until about 7:30 AM. As the morning progresses the local vendors pack up and leave and vendors selling tourist curios move in. By about 8:30 AM the market is mostly a tourist market selling curios to tourists.
