On that topic, do be sure to read the piece on chocolate from The Conversation I’ve linked down in the random other stuff section. This week I’m leading with a first-hand account of what’s it like when you lose access to where you call home—thanks to mass tourism. It’s from a little outside our regular stomping ground—the Philippines—but I thought it was good to read a first-hand account on this matter. It is sadly far from the only case. Over on Couchfish, I published just the one piece, for paid subscribers, on [a place that no longer exists](%2F%2Fwww.travelfish.org%2Fcouchfish%2Fnews%2Fcouchfish-madak-belo/1/0100018e9f0f03fa-86068af8-fb23-4630-af63-49e10c5036ed-000000/pWd0wbklcqlUYXbRvcawArWIi6g=368). While it makes me a little sad that it’s gone, it’s nice to be able to go through old photos and notes to remember what once was. I will have another Couchfish piece out tomorrow (in theory) for all readers, this one looking at Instagram, Laos, and why on earth is a motorbike on a mountain such an attraction. Lastly, You might notice there’s a plug this week [for two yoga retreats](%2F%2Fsamsyogaletter.substack.com%2Fp%2Fjiwa-to-jeda-retreat/1/0100018e9f0f03fa-86068af8-fb23-4630-af63-49e10c5036ed-000000/CF3Oz6B70EQ84IQpdu0tHa07rxg=368) in Pemuteran, West Bali, Indonesia. The retreats are being led by Sam (that would perhaps be Ms Travelfish to you), and the price is great, the location greater, and the teachers are greater still! No, I am not biased at all. If you’re interested, please do get in touch fast—and be sure to do some diving between your downward facing dogs—Eel Point near Menjangan Island is a fabulous dive site. You’ll note that there’s a bunch of flying pieces in the environment section this week, and so the theme is Flying Is Fun—even if it shouldn’t be ... and often isn’t. See you next week.
