Just a few laughs before we dig in …
Sometimes you’ll find a Bardo Tour right under your nose! Here are a pair from the American Southwest:
The Souk Gold Market is one of the Emirate’s oldest traditional marketplaces. It holds 380 retailers, most of whom trade high-grade jewelry. Tax-free gold of different karats, designs and weights. You can bargain at this market.
Many merchants have been there for up to 40 years.
Here’s a glimpse of food prep in China. Try to imagine yourself there as you watch intensely but not caught up in it. Smell the aromas, taste the food, feel the atmosphere.
Daily life in Russia is hard for a Westerner to comprehend, but this video gets it across.
Here’s a well-filmed walk, with typical Bardoesque transitions — or rather, lack of them. It’s amazing to see Saigon and Ho Chi Minh Cities looking very different than they did during the war … Yes, I know … “what war?”
See You At The Top!!!
