Morocco was known as the Al-Maghreb al-Aqsa, the Farthest Land of the Setting Sun. As the closest neighbour to Western Europe for many travellers Morocco is a first shocking encounter with Africa, Islam and the developing world. The country is characterized by contrasting images, its typical colors and smells and really is a fascinating place. It provides visitors with spectacular landscapes, rich muslim culture and a stimulating assault on the senses.

2005 - Vietnam

Vietnam has rich civilization, spectacular scenery and highly cultured, cordial people. While it is clear that its long torrential history of wars continue to weigh heavily on the consciousness of its people, apparently the country today is a different place. Gradually opening up to both visitors and investment it provides tourists with a peculiar feeling of a strange mix of a totalitarian regime and openness. The traveler who comes from Southeast Asia will find here something unique. Not just the sheer beauty of the country's natural setting, but as well the attitude of the Vietnamese people is what attracts visitors from far away.

Cuba is the Caribbean's largest and least commercialised island. Its relative political isolation has prevented it from being overrun by tourists, and locals are sincerely friendly to the visitors of this country. Despite the formality of the colonial architecture, Cuba is very relaxed, even in the larger towns. The following photos are the presentation of my guest photographer Tibor Solyom.

Panama only has slightly more than 100 years of independence from Colombia and a few years of regaining control over the formerly US operated canal, but even today it is not considered belonging to Central America by other countries on the sub-continent. It's modern and bustling capital is unique among the less developed principal cities to the north.

Europe's most open-minded country is mainly known for its red-lamp districts and its permissive rules concerning drug use. It is a shame, because the Netherlands well deserve the attention for a number of other things. There is so much more to Holland and it is not just the tulips and windmills or the network of canals, but the beautiful countryside and the blend of cultures that characterizes its charming old and modern cities with easy going and well cultured people.
