...BREAKDANCERS OF KAMPUCHEA, HERE I COME!!!
...is the movie I watched on the way from Los Angeles to Tai Pei. It's a Bengali film (Not really Bollywood-ish) that's highly enjoyable, and it makes me not want to buy anymore clothes :( Ravi and Masha are forced to work as child labourers in a Calcutta carpet factory and realising that money determines whether one is free or enslaved, the ambitious and resolute Ravi works his way up from common worker to best carpet knotter, with just one goal - to leave the factory behind him. Learning that the factory owner plans to keep Masha for himself as a prostitute, Ravi sacrifices all his savings to buy Masha's freedom, who is then forced to work in a brothel upon looking for new life in the city.

I will be gone until January 17th, but starting on the New Year I will update everyone as much as I can through this blog about my progress in Cambodia. In the meantime, please check out TINY TOONES @ http://www.tinytoonescambodia.com . KK, the person who runs this grass roots organization, is a native to Long Beach. Upon becoming a "deportee" he took street kids and taught them how to breakdance, only on one condition: Education! He would give them free dance lessons within his own home only if they stayed away from drugs and willingly learned English from one of the instructors. The organization is still running and I am going to meet with him and another dancer I invited from Seattle, WA so they can teach the kids from the NGO (non-government organization) I worked with last year how to breakdance. To see the NGO, please check this website: http://www.cchcambodia.org/ Anyways, I haven't gotten any sleep yet so I will let everyone know my whereabouts. Thank you!

And we will reconcile after this week :] Happy Vacation! -J.GUAVA Upon seeing his act last Friday night at the Cambodian Christmas Banquet in Long Beach, I view him as a patriarchal (WOMAN BASHING!) racist who is extremely oppressive against his own people, though in his blog he claims to embrace his Mexican heritage. See his blog here:
CROSSING THE BORDER WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PAST And here is my response to him, which he will probably choose to decline possibly fearing his reputation as a striving 'comedian': As beautiful as your culture is and as grateful as I am that you are appreciative and proud of your roots, I do not understand why you would do border crossing jokes as in this time it is an extremely sensitive subject, especially since Proposition 187 had been passed. Although I do have a sense of humor, I was deeply offended by many of the things you had to say. It is not easy to 'get some' from women who shop at Target and Wal-Mart just because they have 6 kids and you probably know more than I do that women (and men!) who sell flowers on street corners do it to feel like working class citizens. I don't want to bore you with facts and statistics but the matter is your jokes further feed into the oppression of women and minorities. They give others who do not understand the root cause of these problems an excuse to continue laughing at these issues as if they are not serious. Maybe you said certain things feeling like you were the only Mexican in the room of hundreds of people, but the fact is if you replaced 'Mexican' with 'Cambodian' last Friday night it would not have been so funny to your listeners, for the struggles of them trying to get to America are parallel to why your people cross the invisible borders placed on them. I encourage you to water your talents as a comedian, but I know you can use it to empower your own people rather than making them feel ashamed of who they are. PS: it's the year of 2007, and yes, many of us women have jobs and support ourselves without the need to depend on men. -jumakae jerk. Ok, So i know there are already many posts about apparel, however, these shirts spell it out more than any that I've seen. If you want your message to be stated and not mis interpreted, buy these.
