I'm a hopeless romantic. I read way too much literature, drink too much coffee and laugh too loud :)

What I found sig was how SEA cultures took aspects of Hinduism n adapted it to their own beliefs so tt it was more relatable 2 them #hwc111

@LINGALING17 We see a v.strong Hindu influence across Cambodia,Indonesia,Burma- all their deities(artifacts) have their origin in Hinduism

[mangala dharshini @mag_dharshini]

@LINGALING17 Similarity: these deities (e.g. Durga,shiva, Garuda) involve a combination of man and animal to form god/deities!

[mangala dharshini @mag_dharshini]

@LINGALING17 Both Li ling's garuda & my goddess Durga artifact have different forms in one deity.

SEA arts(music,dance,drama) r v.underrated.They r absolutely fascinating & used as mediums 2 teach culture&history. I'd share tt! #hwc111

Entry tweet: Africa triggers ideas of poverty, hardship, malnutrition and a lack of progression in my mind #hwc111

[mangala dharshini @mag_dharshini]

So in Mecca,unfortunates must b given higher priority than oneself?They must be kept happy,even at the expense of oneself? #battuta #hwc111

[mangala dharshini @mag_dharshini]

#battuta places pilgrimage 2 Mecca,fulfilling his religious duty above his life-shows tt they prioritized religion above all else #hwc111

[mangala dharshini @mag_dharshini]

Was Francis loyal and kind to his parents just because of God Almighty? Or would he do anything in the name of Christ?
#hwc111

[Hello World Civ @helloworldciv]

I've been wondering if maybe the ire of Francis's dad is really just Celano's bias showing thru? Maybe not true to life? #hwc111

[mangala dharshini @mag_dharshini]
