The death toll from floods and landslides in Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Malaysia has hit 1,500, with hundreds of people still unaccounted for. Environmental groups say that decades of deforestation and development exacerbated the effects of extreme rainfall. Here's more from @AssociatedPress.

Yakarta, capital de Indonesia, es la ciudad más poblada del mundo con 16,68 millones de personas, 42 millones si contamos con Jabodetabek, su área metropolitana. Se estima que seguirá creciendo pero que será superada por Daca, en Bangladés, y, para entonces, su población llevará años reduciéndose hasta alcanzar unos 50 millones en 2050. 📷Michael Arsyi #asia

¿Alguna vez se han preguntado qué significa exactamente la palabra "Vietnam"?

El nombre es una composición simple pero poderosa de dos palabras:

Viet (Việt): Hace referencia al principal grupo étnico del país.

Nam (Nam): Significa "sur".

Literalmente, Vietnam se traduce como "Gente Viet del sur" o "Nación del sur".

Este nombre fue adoptado oficialmente en 1802 y solidificaba la identidad del reino como un poder al sur de la esfera de influencia de la antigua China, marcando su soberanía e identidad en el sudeste asiático. Una simple palabra que encierra siglos de historia y autoafirmación.

¿Sabían que el destino de #HongKong como colonia británica estuvo directamente ligado al comercio y, específicamente, al opio?

Antes de que se convirtiera en el centro financiero global que conocemos hoy, Hong Kong era un pequeño pueblo de pescadores. La isla fue cedida al Imperio Británico en 1842 tras la derrota de la dinastía Qing en la Primera Guerra del Opio. Los comerciantes británicos necesitaban una base segura para su comercio en Asia, y el control del puerto natural de Hong Kong fue la solución impuesta por la fuerza para continuar con el lucrativo, pero destructivo, tráfico de opio hacia China.

¿Sabías que el Tíbet es conocido mundialmente como "el techo del mundo" porque su elevación promedio es de aproximadamente 5,000 metros sobre el nivel del mar?

Esta vasta meseta no solo alberga el Monte Everest, sino que su geografía extrema ha moldeado una cultura y una biología únicas. Los tibetanos nativos han desarrollado adaptaciones genéticas para vivir con niveles bajos de oxígeno, algo que los científicos estudian como un ejemplo de evolución humana en curso. La capital, Lhasa, se llama a menudo la "Ciudad Prohibida" debido a su difícil acceso y su histórica reclusión.

I've taken a break from posting over the past two weeks, because my wife and I had the opportunity to be out of the country to celebrate her 40th in the one country she had always wanted to visit: South Korea! I am excited to share my collection of what I consider to be my best or at least favorite shots in such a magnificent and beautiful country full of history and architecture.

The ancient faces of Bayon Temple in Cambodia stand beneath a breathtaking Milky Way sky. Once the heart of the Khmer Empire, these serene stone towers seem to watch over time itself, their calm expressions illuminated by the light of distant stars. A peaceful meeting of history and the cosmos.

One of the win-win ideas is being utterly unnecessarily trashed. What are students from #Asia and #Africa supposed to do if they want to study at the best universities in the world and then go on to address major problems facing their generation (and beyond)?

Karst gorge with elevated walkways, Chongqing, China. Part of the Wulong Karst National Geology Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. #nature #geography #gorge #park #china #asia #photo
part of the Wulong Karst National Geology Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The park is famous for its "Three Natural Bridges" and the "Longshuixia Difeng Gorge," both of which feature deep canyons with rivers at the bottom and a network of well-maintained trails and elevated boardwalks for visitors to explore. The combination of the lush greenery, the towering, weathered cliffs, and the man-made paths hugging the rock faces is a hallmark of this type of landscape in Southern China.

This Asian black bulbul was committed to this tree. I'm guessing it was nesting there.
