Just back from an extended-weekend whitewater kayak trip up to the north country - I write a little on the side for Action Asia, which gives me a nice excuse to get out in the back country. Interesting story on the Orang Asli. I lived for a number of years in the interior of the Luzon Cordillera, which remains pretty much under the control of indigenous groups. They've been quite successful in keeping their land and resources in their own hands, much more so than most other tribal groups here. It's a fascinating way of life, and despite the primitive appearance, I can't help feeling that they know a few important things that the rest of us have forgotten. Steve

re: "Where to put your money" Stitch, Was it back in January, when all the seers on this thread were providing a road map for the Asian crisis? There were a number of stages, I no longer remember them all with clarity. I believe one stage was, or should have been, "Asia is deader than a door nail," cries from the press. "Most fund managers have lost their faith in all emerging markets." That is quite a sweeping statement. Perhaps this attitude will provide the necessary breathing room to allow these countries to restructure and revive. Regards, Lee
