Nagaur Fair -The Jodhpur Nagaur Fair is the second biggest fair in India. The fair goes on for eight days. Nagaur Fair of Jodhpur, Rajasthan is held every year during the month of Jan-Feb.

It is popularly known as the Cattle fair of Nagaur. This is because the Nagaur Fair is mainly all about trading of animals. Approximately 70,000 bullocks, camels and horses are traded every year in this fair. Families living in the desert collect camel shit, which they dry and sell for fire.

Ky Son, Vietnam

Ky Son Village is a hamlet of the historic Duong Lam Village, home to many traditional houses of which some are over 200 years old.

I visited the village and stayed in Moon Garden homestay. A beautiful place, close to the homes of the farmers who lived like the time had stood still.
