It was 4am and the previous nights rain had subsided but the heat and humidity certainly hadn’t. In that single moment, on my creaking bamboo raft and the most amazing karst peaks slowly appearing with the first dawn light, I had never felt further from home.
It’s obvious to say that China is on a scale of its own, from the sheer extent of its population, to the size and commercial scope of its cities and economy to the division of wealth between its people – I really cannot think of anywhere else that matches the eminence of this country.
Travelling through China was an amazing experience and one I certainly learnt a lot from. It is an ancient civilisation and rich in so much culture that it was easy to find myself lost and captivated by what the country has to offer. What’s more is that the future for China is looking bright. It has overcome so much to be where it is today and it’s impossible to not feel the excitement and buzz in the air of a country that is taking progression in giant strides.
In this moment however, I was completely and utterly lost and wanted to enjoy every moment of it 🌏 🇨🇳

The municipality is centered around the little maritime town of Grimstad which is surrounded by many small islands (Skjærgård).
There is a harbor, a long pedestrian shopping street, a small market square, Grimstad Church, and a museum dedicated to the early life of Henrik Ibsen, who served as an apprentice to Grimstad’s local pharmacist Reimann, from 1844 to 1847, before leaving Grimstad in 1850. Ibsen's intimate knowledge of the local people and surroundings can be seen in his poem Terje Vigen.
The majority of the inhabitants live in and around the town, while the rest of the municipality is rural and heavily forested.

En tant que l'une des minorités les plus ciblées en Occident, les musulmans sont régulièrement confrontés à la menace de harcèlement, de vandalisme et de représentations négatives dans les médias grand public. À son tour, cette discrimination affecte négativement les nombreuses cultures et ethnies associées à la religion. De nombreuses personnes se sentent en danger en dehors des limites de leurs propres communautés culturelles, ce qui ne fait qu'aggraver la ségrégation dans notre société occidentale.
Pour le photographe Marwan Bassiouni, se concentrer sur nos similitudes est la porte d'entrée pour embrasser nos différences. En tant qu'homme musulman égypto-américain-suisse, il a vécu et pratiqué sa religion partout dans le monde, faisant l'expérience de sa perception dans diverses cultures. Pour son projet New Dutch Views, Bassiouni positionne l'expérience islamique comme synonyme du mode de vie hollandais – un rejet de la distinction pour faire place à une intégration transparente.
As one of the most targeted minorities in the West, Muslims regularly face the threat of harassment, vandalism and negative portrayals in mainstream media. In turn, this discrimination negatively affects the many cultures and ethnicities associated with religion. Many people feel unsafe outside the boundaries of their own cultural communities, which only worsens the segregation in our Western society.
For photographer Marwan Bassiouni, focusing on our similarities is the gateway to embracing our differences. As an Egyptian-American-Swiss Muslim man, he has lived and practiced his religion all over the world, experiencing its perception in various cultures. For his New Dutch Views project, Bassiouni positions the Islamic experience as synonymous with the Dutch way of life – a rejection of distinction to make way for seamless integration.
Melbourne, famous for its coffee culture. You can find a barista on every street corner as well as in obscure laneways.
You probably have come across this term. Wikipedia would give you a variety of definitions and explanations. From the perspective of the UK and, important to clarify, from my own point of view, I would say that what is being talked about is a struggle for power over public opinion and the control of the media. Political interest groups use "hot-button" issues (racism, gender roles, Brexit, immigration, the interpretation of colonial history etc.) as a technique to polarise society and distinguish between "us" and "them". This is not a debate in the interest of truth. It is all about bullying and pushing certain agendas through. In other words, culture wars have intentional consequences. When a public TV channel with critical news reporting is being "privatised" or when the public BBC is threatened with a redrafting of its charter, you know that very likely culture wars are involved.

This is Denizli, Babadag business center. A historic shopping mall. Here, cotton, woven from very special ropes, called Buldan cloth, textile products are sold. Buldan A district of Denizli is produced there. There are towels, sheets, dowries and wonderful dresses from Buldan cloths. Many more textiles. The architecture of Babadag business Han is very impressive, I went up to the seventh floor, I was whirling, and when I looked down, I felt dizzy.
