avec les cours fluctuants de la "matière première" qu'est le riz je me demandais combien pensez vous qu'il faut de rai pour qu'une famille (on va dire avec 2 enfants) puisse en vivre ?
avis aux spécialistes en la matière .
combien 1 rai de terrain représente d'ailleurs en quantité de récolte ?

En vivre ou en survivre? Je pense qu'il s'agit souvent du 2ème cas😊
salut Vel,
tu as sans doute raison, mais je suis certain qu'il y en a qui en vive donc j'imagine que certains doivent bien le savoir, çà me parait interesssnat de se rendre compte justement de ce que peut representer comme ressource un rai pour un agriculteur,
Je vais donc donner la réponse de ma chère et tendre qui n'a sans doute pas plusde valeur que cela étant donné que cela était vrai il y a 20ans en arrière dans un village précis de Thaïlande:
Mon épouse a un frère ce qui fait le compte recherché (2 parents+ 2enfants🙂): ces parents sont propriétaires de seulement un demi rai ce qui est déjà grand selon ces dires. Ils cultivent le riz bien entendu mais là n'est pas leur seul source de revenu: ils cultivent aussi l'ail et travaillent également pour les "voisins" lorsque ceux-ci ont besoin de main d'œuvre (culture du riz). Ils vendent également sur le marché (elle m'a dit que, par exemple, son père partait à la chasse aux moineaux😕😄 pour les revendre sur le marché), ...
A cette époque ils vivaient dans la maison de la grand mère, et les rations de nourriture était limitée; mon épouse était jeune et avait le droit à (il me semble) 2 baths pour se payer une collation à l'école. Bien évidemment pas de voiture mais une vieille mobylette et des vélos🙂.
Tout cela il y a donc une vingtaine d'année.
Maintenant c'est différent pour eux (le fait de ne plus avoir d'enfants à charge? l'aide de ceux-ci quand ils le peuvent? peut être les sous mis de côté par ci par là?)
Ils ont donc toujours leurs activités (culture du riz + ail) mais possède leur propre maison (une belle petite maison, pas au standard européen of course mais très sympa, qui leur à coûté dans les 12000e apparemment), un pick up (de 15ans d'âge😉), différents outils pour la culture du riz, ...
Voilà ce dont je peux apporter comme point de vue😉🙂
Par contre question aux modos?: Que fait ce post dans la rubrique divers? Ce post concerne exclusivement la Thaïlande et devrait donc trouver sa place dans la rubrique Asie du Sud Est voir travailler à l'étranger non?🤪 Aucun débat ne peut se mettre en place si ce thread reste dans ce "fourt tout" appelé divers et où peu de personne se rend je suppose😕😉
Ensuite, il faut mettre en rapport le rendement en kgs pour 1 raï, sur ces sources, je lis une moyenne de 459 kgs par raï, mais il y a 2 récoltes par an.
Il faudrait que tu précises si le type de riz concerné est du riz collant ou riz jasmin, car je crois bien (sans avoir trouvé de sources) que le rendement du riz jasmin est plus grand au raï que le riz gluant car la région où est cultivé le riz gluant est très sèche et ne permets pas je crois 2 cultures par an, mais 1 seulement à vérifier.
Donc, cela permettant de faire un calcul, j'obtiens 1106 kgs par raï par an (riz jasmin), divisé par 152 Kgs, j'obtiens un peu plus que 7 personnes (des adultes je suppose) pour une année.
Je sais pas si ça tient debout, d'autres pourront nous dire quels sont leurs avis.

Quand l'eau baisse les fourmis mangent les poissons; quand l'eau monte les poissons mangent les fourmis.
Il n'y a que le changement qui ne change pas.
Effectivement ces calculs ne tiennent pas trop debout d'après moi😊
D'après toi ils ne mangeraient que du riz?🤪
Je pense plus qu'aroimak parlait du commerce du riz plus du fait de nourir une famille avec seulement du riz😉
Par ailleurs je pense que les 500gr par jour est une donnée plutôt (totalement) fausse: fait cuire 500gr de riz et tu t'en rendra compte😉
Effectivement ces calculs ne tiennent pas trop debout d'après moi
J'admets que je peux me tromper, quels seraient tes calculs ?
D'après toi ils ne mangeraient que du riz?
Qui dis cela ? la question d'Aroimak ne concernant que le riz, je fournis les chiffres sur le riz.
Je pense plus qu'aroimak parlait du commerce du riz plus du fait de nourir une famille avec seulement du riz
voici la question d'Aroimak :
combien pensez vous qu'il faut de rai pour qu'une famille (on va dire avec 2 enfants) puisse en vivre ?
ça me parait sans équivoques possibles.
Par ailleurs je pense que les 500gr par jour est une donnée plutôt (totalement) fausse: Thai cuisine blends five fundamental tastes: sweet, spicy, sour, bitter and salty. Some common ingredients used in Thai cuisine include garlic, chillies, lime juice, lemon grass, and fish sauce. The staple food in Thailand is rice, which is included in almost every meal. Thais consume over 100 kg of milled rice per person per year. Clearly, rice is an important part of Thai culture. Over 5000 varieties of rice from Thailand are preserved in the rice gene bank of the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), based in the Philippines. The King of Thailand is the official patron of IRRI.
http://www.irri.org/...cnyinfo/thailand.asp
Si on parle donc que du riz sous sa forme pure, le chiffre de 1999 parle de 100 kgs, 100 kgs x 1000 grs = 100'000 grs / 365 jours, le chiffre est de 274 grs par jour par par personne. La Birmanie est à 200 kgs / personne / an.
Si tu as d'autres chiffres, merci de nous les communiquer, c'est l'objet de la question.
fait cuire 500gr de riz et tu t'en rendra compte
Je ne sais pas sur quoi tu te bases, j'ai déjà fait cuire 500 gr de riz, merci😉
Sachant qu'un autocuiseur standard fait 1, 6 litres, que les thaïs mangent du riz ou un aliment composé de riz, le matin, midi, et soir, et qu'entre ces 3 repas ils consomment aussi passablement d'aliments, 500 grs ne me paraissent pas impossibles.
Quand l'eau baisse les fourmis mangent les poissons; quand l'eau monte les poissons mangent les fourmis.
Il n'y a que le changement qui ne change pas.
bonsoir les amis et merci d'avoir pris le temps de répondre à cette question (çà devaient des maths à force !!😏😏)
tout d'abord Vel, saches que j'avais bien posté ce message dans la rubrique asie du se, et je comprends pas non plus ce qu'ele fait là, il y aurait certainement eu plus de réponses et puis çà nous aurait changer de .. bon relançons pas le débat.
Oui, je me posais la question, mais simplement par curiositée, de savoir combien une famille devait avoir de terres pporu pouvoir en vivre, pas pour se nourrir elle même (mais c'est aussi intéréssant de connaître !) ..
sinon, pour savoir le probléme du riz par jour, j'avoue que 500 grs me parait un peu beaucoup Salsa, quoi que a 4 c'est vrai que çà doit pas être lmoin, aprés tout est de savoir si ils font des économies ou si ils se lachent 🤪
Admettons pour les 500grs😉 De toute façon ceci est très dure à estimer mais je trouve cela beaucoup (je dirais plus dans les 300grs par jour mais bon...)
Par contre, sauf si je suis à côté de la plaque, mais je pense bien qu'aroimak parle du commerce du riz (c'est à dire en gros: quelle production faut-il à une famille afin de pouvoir vivre de la vente de cette dernière?) plus qu'une consommation directe du riz par la famille (même si une partie de la production est, bien entendu destinée à la conso perso). Sinon pourquoi aroimak parelerait-il des cours fluctuants du riz...
Par ailleurs, selon ton point de vue, une famille ne mangerait que du riz?😕😛
Ok, merci d'avoir précisé la question, je ne l'avais pas entendu ainsi.
Concernant les 500 grs, c'est ma propre traduction du pound mentionné dans la source donnée.
Les chiffres de l'IRRI de 1999 mentionne 100 kgs par personne par année, il me semble que cette source est fiable, le roi de Th lui-même en est le président, je n'invente rien même si cela paraît beaucoup pour nous.
Pour l'IRRI, il s'agit d'une quantité en grammes consommés en riz brut, pas des composés, à titre d'exemple, un birman consomme 200 kgs par an, soit 547 grammes par jour, c'est énorme.
Je n'arrive pas à trouver les chiffres officiels Th pour 2009, seulement une source mentionnant 152 Kgs par personne par an, ce qui fait 416 grs (almost a pound, 453 grs) par personne de riz sous toutes ses formes, nouilles, chips etc...
Par contre, je n'ai pas réponse à ta question, je t'ai donné le rendement par raï, il faut voir maintenant combien coûte le kg sur le marché, les dépenses pour la culture, le bénéfice réalisé, la cherté de la vie, le nombre de kilos de riz gardés par la famille etc...
A plus.
Quand l'eau baisse les fourmis mangent les poissons; quand l'eau monte les poissons mangent les fourmis.
Il n'y a que le changement qui ne change pas.
Par ailleurs, selon ton point de vue, une famille ne mangerait que du riz?
c'est ta compréhension qui n'est pas juste ! je n'ai jamais dis qu'ils ne mangeaient pas autre chose.
Le riz est la base de la nourriture thaï, il y a des accompagnements.
P.s. La quantité n'est pas très dure à estimer, le ministère de l'agriculture thaï sait exactement la quantité produite dans toute la nation, la quantité exportée, le nombre d'habitants et fait des moyennes de consommation par habitant.
Quand l'eau baisse les fourmis mangent les poissons; quand l'eau monte les poissons mangent les fourmis.
Il n'y a que le changement qui ne change pas.
si comme dis salsa, c'est pour la bouffe de chacun, je crois que 300 grs peut être considéré comme une moyene, c'est ce que toutes mes conaissances consomment journalièrement, il faut dire qu'ils sont sur bangkok et donc ont aussi plus de choix ?
pour ce qui est de savoir les revenus suffisants pour en faire du commerce, je serais aussi assez curieux de savoir.
" Ils ne savaient pas que c'était impossible, alors ils l'ont fait. "
Je dis juste ce que j'ai pu voir!
La dernière fois que je suis allé dans la famille de mon épouse mes beaux parents venaient de finir la récolte du riz et l'a ensuite vendu a 2 hommes venus dans leur maison (l'un des nombreux intermédiaires dans le commerce du riz très certainement).
Ils ont donc vendu l'ensemble de leur récolte environ 1000e. Il s'agit ici seulement de riz "classique" et pas de riz gluant (ils le gardent pour leur consommation perso). Il faut donc enlevé le salaire de chaque personne ayant participé à la récolte (de 150 à 200bath par jour).
Vient s'ajouter à cela la récolte de l'ail: environ 400e pour une récolte.
A savoir que dans le Nord (où vivent mes beau parents), apparemment il n'y a qu'une seule récolte de chaque.
ps: rectification de mon poste précédent. Il possèdent beaucoup plus qu'un demi rai. J avais mal compris et le demi rai ne concerne que le terrain où est construit leur maison😊😉
Regarding the amount of tobacco you can buy during a trip in the European Union and bring back to France, we can't really talk about a "duty-free allowance," because the rules around how much tobacco you can bring back to France aren't straightforward at all under French law.
Hello everyone! 🙂🙂,
A BIG thank you to all the travelers who sent us postcards this year—my students are becoming real geography whizzes!!!!!!!! I’m renewing my call for your kindness this year! We’re also working on food, so if your postcards can make our mouths water with local dishes, traditional meals, or typical recipes, that’d be amazing!!
Here’s a quick recap of the project:
I’m reaching out to all travelers and globetrotters on this forum. I’m a teacher in Creuse, working in a ULIS program (which welcomes children aged 6 to 12 with disabilities into a mainstream school). This year, I’m starting a school journal project that will involve the kids in many different topics. A big part of the journal will focus on opening up to the world, diversity, travel, countries, culture...
I’m launching a call to invite as many of you as possible to send us a little postcard (from France or anywhere in the world!) to take us on a journey and help us discover new places, countries, and horizons—much more fun and exciting than a regular geography textbook! One section of our journal could be called "We received mail from " and would be an opportunity to research that location and share what we learn with our readers (a super enriching activity in class).
The project starts in September 2025 but has no real end date, as this journal and world discovery initiative will span several school years (the kids stay in my ULIS program for multiple years). Postcards can be sent anytime—throughout the year, across seasons, even during holidays! (The kids will find them when they return.)
I hope this idea appeals to as many of you as possible and that you’ll spread the word to your fellow traveler friends. Make us dream, take us on a journey!!!
For those who’d like to write to us in a language other than French, no problem—quite the opposite!!
Thank you in advance for your participation(s)! Below is our address. Feel free to leave your own address on a corner of the postcard if you’d like us to write back! 😊

Many of us have noticed that bugs have been making it difficult to navigate the forum lately.
I’ll let Kate and Ticapi explain the issue:
I went to your profile to check out the Thailand travel journal, and when I clicked on it, it brought me back here again. All week, I’ve been dealing with bugs like this—it’s really discouraging from continuing on VF.🙁
I had the same thing happen, and multiple times. For me, it was Montagnard’s latest journal that kept coming up no matter which discussion I clicked on.
BOLIVIA: THE COUNTRY ON THE BRINK (What's Really Happening)
A dramatic saga is unfolding before our eyes in the Andes. Between suffocating blockades, clashes, an international airlift, and historic political decisions, Bolivia has just experienced 48 hours of rare intensity.
Here’s the full breakdown (economic, social, and political) of the last 48 hours:
For travelers and tourists: the article also includes an important note about the upcoming publication (starting tomorrow) of the precise status of roadblocks, route by route.
I’ll post the full update here on Voyage Forum!
Don’t miss this in-depth analysis. History is being written before our eyes! https://www.petitherge.com/bolivie-paralysie-et-ultimatum
I just discovered a great show on Arte.
It's called "7 en route": seven young European journalists travel around Europe in a fully converted bus, making reports on every city they visit. It's amazing! 🙂
Yesterday, for example, they were in Rome, Italy, and the reports included things like the world's smallest restaurant—a super romantic spot for two. There was also a report on the king of paparazzi in Italy.
They have to pick topics that let us discover the little quirks of each country. And at the end of each episode, we get to see the finished report.
It's such a great show, mixing journalism, travel, and discovery—basically, a must-watch!
It airs in the evening starting at 6:50 PM (I think), and it started this past Monday, July 14th.
If you watch it, let me know—we can chat about it!
I left my heart’s country eight days ago and returned to my adopted one—or was it the other way around? Scotland-Morvan, Morvan-Scotland, I’m not quite sure anymore.
After a quarter without dragging my slippers around here, even though I’d loudly declared I had no interest left in this site, here I am again!
My imagination never stays fallow for long. Just enough time for my inner land to rest. It gets overgrown with fresh nettles, the kind you can pick without getting stung. Then, it’s time to till the fragrant earth and let the story grow.
I hesitated over where to set this story.
Maybe the Highlands, maybe the Hebrides, maybe the Orkney Islands, maybe the Shetland Islands. All of Scotland is myth—easy to embroider.
But in the end, no. I’d almost be too afraid to bare my soul.
The story will take place at home. Simple, practical.
1)
This morning, I was up well before dawn, feeling a bit grumpy, but nothing a bowl of coffee won’t fix. I love my bowl, and no one dares take it. It’s porcelain, edged with intertwined blue flowers. On the bottom, it says "Revol." The factory has existed long before the Revolution. It was my great-grandmother’s bowl. She drank roasted barley from it during the war, then her Leroux chicory.
Last year, a little guy dropped it. My bowl broke into three pieces. A black anger vibrated deep inside me. The little boy was so upset, on the verge of tears. How could I scold him!
I picked up the three pieces and took Little Boy in my arms. His hair smelled of the light, sweet sweat of toddlers. A gentle hug that healed—his budding sorrow and my anger—everything vanished, and time carried on.
Today, my bowl is even prettier. Man fixed it using the traditional kintsugi technique, except he didn’t use gold powder or lacquer but superglue, and he delicately painted the cracks with woad blue. And my bowl is even more beautiful now.
I’m lingering, I can tell—it’s just that a story wraps itself in life, and life can’t be told in the snap of a finger. Life is long. Like in architecture, you start with a rough sketch, called a "sous-cul" (the initial pencil drawing), then you make a tracing, which is the work itself, the one you later carefully roll up in a wooden tube.
Life is like that: you erase, you start over, you use the nub of the pencil until it’s tiny, but you keep going—dreaming, loving.
"Living is a full-time occupation, a unique adventure. Always a surprise and a wonder, which sometimes turns into astonishment. And, from time to time, happiness."*
Alright, enough digressing—this introduction is definitely too long.
Tomorrow, I’ll get to the heart of the matter.
(I hate that expression; it feels like I’m cutting into someone’s skin.)
I’m Yann, a 28-year-old TikToker who loves traveling!
Since I’ve been to several destinations, I’d love to get a flag from each one as a sort of trophy. But from what I’ve seen online, a lot of sites sell them with what looks like really poor quality...
So I’m reaching out to you all to share a site you usually use—help me start my collection! :)
hi there
I’d love to get some opinions—I’ve never used Airbnb before.
They’re offering a key handover via lockbox.
Any tips or advice?
Is it reliable?
Best,
Hi there, I’m Laura, and I’m looking for a few people to answer some questions so I can understand your travel wishes and challenges. It won’t take long—I can chat here, by email, or by phone. Don’t worry, I’m not selling anything! 😊
On this forum, we talk a lot about trekking in the Himalayas, but I’d love to share another side of Nepal: its spiritual, cultural, and religious atmosphere, especially in Kathmandu.
Nepal, much like Tibet and Bhutan, is deeply connected to the Himalayas—the ultimate sacred mountain range. This small country exudes a calming vibe, shaped by a strong spiritual dimension. What I loved most was the unique sensory experience you get there. Walking around temples and tantric monasteries, a distinct scent fills the air—aromatic plants used for ritual fumigation. Locals mainly burn Himalayan juniper, cedar, sandalwood, and other local essences. This fragrant smoke is a way to purify the space and reach the deities, and you’re constantly enveloped in these aromas.
Another striking aspect is the sound. As soon as you step outside, you hear bells ringing in front of temples. People ring them three times before praying to announce their presence to the deities. Nepal is also the birthplace of singing bowls and sound meditation practices. In Kathmandu, you can easily find meditation sessions or "sound baths."
The spiritual dimension is everywhere: a Hindu sadhu practicing asceticism, a lama in deep red robes with his mala, turning a prayer wheel while murmuring "Om mani padme hum." Newar Buddhism, Tantrism, and Hinduism coexist harmoniously in daily life.
For those who love exploring a destination through its culture and spirituality, Nepal is an unforgettable place. What was your spiritual experience in Nepal like?
Hi,
I’m landing in Quebec and then heading to New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. I’d like to rent a pick-up. My question is: does this vehicle come with a cover and is it secure enough to store luggage in? I’ve heard two conflicting opinions. Thanks
I just installed the Maps.Me app on my phone. I only recently found out about this app. I’m traveling in 2 weeks and a few days, and I’m a bit stuck on how to use it.
I’m from the Montreal (Quebec) area, and I’d love to know if there’s a kind soul out there who could help me get started and use the app at least minimally.
If there are private lessons available, I’d be interested in those too.
Like many others, I’m overjoyed to hear that VoyageForum is reopening! I’ve been waiting hopefully for this, and it’s wonderful that it’s finally happening!
I just couldn’t bring myself to actively participate in other French-language travel forums—their format and way of doing things never appealed to me as much. I really hope that VF’s structure, categories, and interface won’t change too much despite the handover, because I’m very attached to them. Through thick and thin, the site has held strong—it’s amazing!
In a previous message, François mentioned that there were positions to fill ahead of the reopening, including moderators...
I’ve been eagerly waiting for this and hoping to send in my CV.
Now, after reading the latest message, it seems like the team is already fully formed. But are there still a few spots left to fill?
I’ve been a VF member for 20 years (since 2004). I’d love to contribute to this wonderful adventure as a moderator if VF would trust me with the role. If the team is open to reviewing it, I’m ready to send my CV. Could you let me know the next steps?
I’m planning a 3-week trip to Japan in May with Voyage Privé. The package includes a 5 GB eSIM, but my phone isn’t new enough to support it. VP told me I could buy a SIM card when I arrive at the airport.
Sure enough, I’ve seen online that this is possible with different providers.
I only need it for checking routes, looking up addresses, train schedules, etc.—basically using Google Maps, TripAdvisor, and similar apps. No heavy downloads or major internet use. All hotels should provide free Wi-Fi for that, right?
Has anyone got any tips for me on this? What have you tried, and how much did it cost?
Thanks for your help!
I’d like to know if you can buy reef-safe sunscreen sprays at 7-Eleven. If so, how much do they cost? We’re traveling with backpacks, so we’ll either buy 100ml here or in Thailand.
I wanted to share a really unpleasant experience from our last trip booked with Promoséjours and organized by FTI.
We booked an 8-day/7-night stay in Egypt, from June 8 to 15.
The flight initially scheduled was changed a week before departure to take off at 10 PM from Paris CDG.
In the end, it took off with a 1-hour delay and included an unmentioned stopover in Marsa Alam.
We landed in Hurghada at 4 AM and arrived at the hotel at 6 AM.
So, we spent our first night on the plane.
For the return trip, surprise—the flight was moved up. We left the hotel at 10:30 PM on Friday the 14th to take off at 2 AM and land at 7 AM at Paris CDG.
So, we spent our last night on the plane too.
After sending a complaint letter to Promoséjours / FTI, they replied that the first and last days can be dedicated to transport (which I already knew) and that no matter how many nights you book, you’re not guaranteed to spend them in the hotel—it could just as well be on the plane.
I’m really questioning this.
Isn’t there a law that protects customers in cases like this?
Because when I do the math, the first and part of the second day were spent on transport, same for the second-to-last and last day. And I paid for 7 nights for a stay that only lasted 5.
Anyway, I just want to say thanks to them—thanks to their two sleepless nights in transit, I’m coming back even more exhausted from a trip that was supposed to be restful!
I also want to warn anyone booking through this agency about visas for Egypt.
At booking, they told me the visa was included in the price, then they sent me an email saying I’d have to pay for it on-site at 25 €.
Once there, we were directed to a special line for FTI customers, and guess what? They charged us 30 €!
Basically, they’re great at making sure you *enjoy* your vacation—mostly by enjoying your wallet!
If anyone has dealt with this kind of situation and won their case, I’m all ears.
Hi there!
I’m heading to Thailand for two months.
So I thought I’d get a Thai SIM card to use Google Maps for getting around cities, mostly.
Here’s my question: will this SIM affect my apps? Or will they work the same as with my Orange SIM?
Is there any setup I need to do, or can I just pop in the Thai SIM?
I’d also like to switch back to my Orange SIM now and then while I’m in Thailand—on the same phone. Will I need to reset the phone, or will it reconnect without any issues?
Thanks in advance for your tips!
Best,
Huiclos
Hi, I’d like to know where we can buy beer or wine in Chefchaouen and around Merzouga. We’ll be doing a circuit and staying at the Parador Hotel in Chefchaouen and in a bivouac in Merzouga.
Thanks for any info you can share!
Hello everyone,
I’m reaching out to all travelers and globe-trotters on this forum. I’m a teacher in Creuse working in a ULIS program (which welcomes children aged 6 to 12 with disabilities into a mainstream school). This year, I’m launching a school journal project that will involve the kids in many different topics. A big part of this journal will focus on opening up to the world, embracing differences, travel, global cultures, and more.
I’m putting out a call to invite as many of you as possible to send us a postcard (from France or anywhere in the world)! The goal is to help us "travel" and discover new places, countries, and horizons in a way that’s much more fun and exciting than a geography textbook. One section of our journal could be called "We received a letter from ," where we’d research the location and share what we learn with our readers—a really enriching activity for the classroom.
The project starts in September 2025 but doesn’t have a strict end date, since this journal and world-discovery initiative will span several school years (the kids stay in the ULIS program for multiple years). Postcards can be sent anytime—throughout the year, across seasons, even during holidays! The kids will find them when they return.
I hope this idea appeals to as many of you as possible, and that you’ll spread the word to your fellow travelers. Help us dream and explore!

Hi there! I have to leave Ivato/Antananarivo on December 16th. I have a lot of ariary that I’d like to exchange for euros since I might not be coming back to Madagascar (after this 21st trip). I think the exchange office at Ivato also buys ariary back. If any of you have seen the rate for this buyback in advance, thanks a million!
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a website that would let me plot my travel route in advance so I can print it out. The idea is to create a map with a little “me” on a bike that my parents can move along as I progress, since I’m planning to cycle all the way to Nepal.
If any of you have done something similar or know of a good tool, I’d love to hear your tips!
Thanks in advance! 😊
I'm looking to buy an ultra-lightweight 50/55L travel backpack with a suitcase or front opening.
Does anyone have any brand and/or model recommendations?
Thanks,

Hello. We’re a retired couple heading to Sri Lanka from January to March. After the November floods, I’d like to know if we can offer hands-on help to the locals, maybe pack some clothes or other items people might need in our luggage, and who we could give them to. Thanks for any info from those on the ground.
Be careful when sailing between Somalia and northern Madagascar.
It appears to be Somali pirates who have widened their search in the Mozambique Channel, far from their usual attack zone, since, to my knowledge, there are no Malagasy pirates.
c'est ta compréhension qui n'est pas juste ! je n'ai jamais dis qu'ils ne mangeaient pas autre chose.
