Pre-Trip Extension Itinerary YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Nepal & the Mystical Himalayas 2022 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Nepal & the Mystical Himalayas itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: What I love most about the Nepalese people is their resilience and determination. I was moved to see Nepalese non-profit organizations and the local communities of Nepal gather together to rebuild and provide crucial relief to remote mountain villages following the devastating 7.8 earthquake that struck the country in 2015. But the most moving stories of all were the ones I heard directly from the local people I met. I was surprised, and saddened, to learn how many women were—and still are—married off at a young age due to poverty and unequal gender dynamics in Nepal. You’ll meet some of these women, too, during a Home- Hosted Dinner with a family in Pokhara. As you share a meal together, you’ll gain an intimate glimpse into daily life in Nepal and hear from female members of this local family about their personal experience growing up in a male-dominated culture, and their hopes for the future. The way we see it, you’ve come a long way to experience the true culture—not some fairytale version of it. So we keep our groups small, with only 8-16 travelers (average 13) to ensure that your encounters with local people are as intimate and authentic as possible. It’s also why your O.A.T. Trip Experience Leader will be a resident “insider” who can show you the culture as only a local can. To ensure that your adventure is truly unique, put your own personal stamp on it. You can arrive early and stay later, add a pre- or post-trip extension, spend time in a Stopover city, or combine two or more trips. Plus, your itinerary offers ample free time so you can pursue your own interests. So until the day comes when you are off to enjoy your Nepal & the Mystical Himalayas adventure, I hope you will relish the fun and anticipation that this O.A.T. Adventure Travel Planning Guide® will inspire. Should you have further questions, feel free to call our Regional Adventure Counselors at 1-800-955-1925. Love and peace, Harriet R.

  • Materials of Buddhist Culture: Aesthetics and Cosmopolitanism at Mindroling Monastery
    Materials of Buddhist Culture: Aesthetics and Cosmopolitanism at Mindroling Monastery Dominique Townsend Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Dominique Townsend All rights reserved ABSTRACT Materials of Buddhist Culture: Aesthetics and Cosmopolitanism at Mindroling Monastery Dominique Townsend This dissertation investigates the relationships between Buddhism and culture as exemplified at Mindroling Monastery. Focusing on the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, I argue that Mindroling was a seminal religio-cultural institution that played a key role in cultivating the ruling elite class during a critical moment of Tibet’s history. This analysis demonstrates that the connections between Buddhism and high culture have been salient throughout the history of Buddhism, rendering the project relevant to a broad range of fields within Asian Studies and the Study of Religion. As the first extensive Western-language study of Mindroling, this project employs an interdisciplinary methodology combining historical, sociological, cultural and religious studies, and makes use of diverse Tibetan sources. Mindroling was founded in 1676 with ties to Tibet’s nobility and the Fifth Dalai Lama’s newly centralized government. It was a center for elite education until the twentieth century, and in this regard it was comparable to a Western university where young members of the nobility spent two to four years training in the arts and sciences and being shaped for positions of authority. This comparison serves to highlight commonalities between distant and familiar educational models and undercuts the tendency to diminish Tibetan culture to an exoticized imagining of Buddhism as a purely ascetic, world renouncing tradition.

  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

    Spring 2018 Honors Colloquia AIST 4003H 001: EARLY CHINESE EMPIRES Professor: Rembrandt F. Wolpert Colloquium Type: Humanities Taking the Silk Road as our main artery, we shall concentrate on the most colorful changes in multi-ethnic, multi-cultural medieval China from the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and in particular from the rise and following unification of Northern China. Under the Northern Wei (386–534), to the subsequent unification of North and South under the Sui (589–618), through the resplendent Tang (618–907) and the most cultured of all Chinese dynasties, the Song (960–1279), the martial Jin (115–1234), to end with the culmination of power (at a price) in the largest empire emanating from Chinese soil, the Yuan (1271–1368). AIST 4003H 002: READING JAPANESE NOH AS CULTURAL HISTORY Professor: Elizabeth Markham Colloquium Type: Humanities We shall use original Noh chant books (utai-bon) alongside translations of librettos. Most plays will be viewed on film; the others listened to while reading. Our focus will be on the historical and the contextual: we shall work with the earlier poetry, songs, and dance-tunes, referred to as nostalgia in the plays, and also with early Buddhist, theatrical, and secular musical forms that have contributed to and borrowed from Noh. The course does not require specialized knowledge of music, nor of East Asian languages, and it is open to majors in any field. Students address their particular interests via individual projects, culminating in an extended research essay. AIST 4003H 003: UNCOVERING HEIAN JAPAN (794--1192) Professor: Elizabeth J.

The major types can be roughly defined as: East Asian with its origins in Imperial China and now encompassing modern Japan and the Korean peninsula; Southeast Asian which encompasses Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Vietnam, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Philippines; South Asian states that are made up of India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan as well as several other countries in this region of the Vietnamese meal, in Asian culture food often serves as the centerpiece of social continent; Central Asian and Middle gatherings Eastern.

For example, in Hong Kong and mainland China, Asian cuisine is a general umbrella term for Japanese cuisine, Korean cuisine, Filipino cuisine, Thai cuisine, Vietnamese cuisine, Malaysian and Singaporean cuisine, and Indonesian cuisine; but Chinese cuisine and Indian cuisine are excluded. The term Asian cuisine might also be used to Indonesian cuisine address the eating establishments that offer a wide array of Asian dishes without rigid cuisine boundaries; such as selling satay, gyoza or lumpia for an appetizer, som tam, rojak or gado-gado for salad, offering chicken teriyaki, nasi goreng or beef rendang as the main course, tom yam and laksa as soup, and cendol or ogura ice for dessert.

  • Study on English Translation of Tibetan Meal Names in Kangding Area from the Perspective of Cultural Translation
    2018 International Workshop on Advances in Social Sciences (IWASS 2018) Study on English Translation of Tibetan Meal Names in Kangding Area from the Perspective of Cultural Translation Jing Feng School of Foreign Language, Sichuan Minzu College, Kangding Sichuan 626001, China Keywords: Cultural Translation; Tibetan Food; Dish Name; Cultural Connotation Abstract: Language is the carrier of culture. Any human knowledge that wants to be preserved for a long time must rely on language, and culture is the connotation of language. Culture uses language as the carrier and is the main expression. The name of the dish expresses rich food culture connotation in a concise language form. As a manifestation of food culture, language witnesses and records the development and evolution of food culture. Translation is the most important way to exchange language and culture. Tibetan food in Kangding area is praised for its unique raw materials, ingredients and cooking methods. The name of the Tibetan food in the area contains a rich Tibetan food culture. Therefore, the Chinese-English translation of the name of the Kangba Tibetan cuisine needs to refer to the published Chinese translation of the Chinese cuisine, and it should also be fully integrated with the Tibetan food diet. Introduction Diet is the most basic requirement for human existence and a prerequisite for all human civilization. There is an old saying in China that "people take food for the sky." "Heaven", the supreme title, that is to say, diet is the top priority in people's lives. This is also the essence of Chinese traditional philosophy and culture.

  • TOWARDS a GEOGRAPHY of NEPALESE CUISINE David
    62/TheThe Third Third Pole, Pole Vol. 8-10, PP 62-72:2010 TOWARDS A GEOGRAPHY OF NEPALESE CUISINE David Seddon1 Abstract This is the first part of an article which proposes to break new ground in developing a conceptual framework for and presenting a preliminary empirical analysis of ‘the geography of Nepalese cuisine’. This part of the article sets out some of the elements required for an exploration of national, regional and local cuisines. It elaborates the concept of ‘cuisine’ as a historical but constantly evolving socio-economic and cultural construct (a food tradition) within a more-or-less defined geographical area. It considers the significance of ‘food availability’ and the ways in which the ‘natural’ world is classified and categorized to define what is considered edible and what is not. It explains how food preparation and processing transforms an animal, fish or plant into a food stuff or ingredient and examines how food preparation, production (including cooking) and presentation may differ and may be associated with different styles of cuisine (high and low, complex and simple, etc.). It introduces a distinction between national, regional and local cuisines and briefly considers the treatment of ‘Indian’ cuisine. Key Words: Cuisine, Food, Food tradition, Nepal, Nepalese, Newari, Dalbhat Introduction some cases referring to the crops they grow, the livestock they produce, and the foodstuffs they It is said that ‘fools rush in where angels fear to buy and sell and consume, and in some cases to tread’. This article represents an example of just the ceremonial, religious and other ritual such a foolish initiative.
