...than Middle Kingdom and has long been a backpackers' stopover between Laos and the "real" China. Because most of the domestic tourists can't get enough of gambling, sex and weird botany, more discerning visitors can find themselves blissfully alone on the many spectacular jungle treks and wildlife and tribal village trips on offer...
...harried hordes of package tourists: a sleepy, tree-lined city along the lazy Mekong, surrounded by low mountains. The tour groups vanish: variances in Western and Chinese tastes work to segregate the city. Domestic tourists stay across the river in glitzy, Vegas-style hotels offering all-day shows of tribal dancing and wild animal routines that would outrage even the mildest environmentalist. Foreigners mostly stay in the many small hotels and guesthouses in the old town, such as the clean and quiet Banna Guesthouse, where an air-conditioned double costs $18 per night; call (86-691) 212-3559 to book...

He responded that the tribe had no position on it and that it was more interested in an agriculture bill that had also been introduced. This...
...highly tribal atmosphere that characterizes competition football, fans of different teams rarely care to admit that they might have something in common. Yet recently, supporters of Japanese J-League sides Urawa Red Diamonds, Cerezo Osaka and Gamba Osaka have indeed found themselves on common ground, over an uncommon event - losing a player to the high-profile, highly competitive European leagues. Last Monday, Gamba Osaka's star midfielder Junichi Inamoto, 21, joined English Premier League giants Arsenal in a deal worth a reported $5.5 million. The week before, Bolton Wanderers, another Premier League side, took Cerezo Osaka's Akinori Nishizawa...
