The West has long been fascinated by the great cultures and spiritual traditions of the East.

Names like India, Bali, China, Bhutan strike a hammer blow to the bell of our souls. We think of mystics, spice and far-flung temples.

It’s ironic: China and India have been (and are, perhaps,

Here’s an article that talks about some of the unusual acoustical properties discovered at Stonehenge. Those of you have ever been to an Egyptian temple or a European cathedral will find this familiar and interesting.

Numerous cities could only be visited by tourists who traveled together in armed convoys. Happily this decade-long restriction has been lifted.
