Omo Valley
The Omo Valley is such a beautiful place. The people are the most unique individuals I do believe that you will ever see in your life. I hope that the construction of the Gibe III Hydroelectric dam does not destroy these wonderful people. Excellent photos!

Very Informative
What a beautiful blog very informative. It's a shame schools skim this part of history as it is hundreds of years that are overlooked.

Unfortunately, I have misplace my work. As a result, seeing your pictures certainly brings back memories including Kakum. I am grateful that you posting or shared these grate pictures because I am preparing another presentation and I can definitely use wonderful picture such as yours. Thanks Rex Osae

Too Touristy
I found El Calafate too touristy for my liking although I'm glad I went for the glaciers. I'm returning there in February but it's more or less a base for making onward travel arrangements in Patagonia and also a break from exploring. Thanks for the comment on my Winter Wonderland at Home Blog. Happy Travels! Regards Dawn

Loved Torres del Paine
Took a day trip out there from El Calafate and had a wonderful time. One day, I would love to return and do the W Trek around the Park.

The Women's prison story sounds more likely
Some people believe the "house of the Rising Sun" was slang for the New Orleans women's prison which has been said to have had a rising sun above the entrance. The earlier versions of the song were sung by women from their perspective. Check out Joan Baez's version.

Makassar/Ujung Pandang
Hi Jason, I think it's OK to use either name. During his final days as President BJ Habibie changed the official name back to Makassar but in reality both names are used. You're right about the official Funeral season but some funerals take place all year round, so whatever time you visit there's a chance of seeing one.

Makassar...
I must be old; back when I was there it was still called Ujung Pandang! I love Sulawesi, Love Torajaland and LOVE INDONESIA! Will be back next year...hopefully more blogs to come your end Stewart! By the way I have a quick question. Your blog is dated 13th September...how strict are they on this "funeral season" period. I think I was there in December and saw one, but have subsequently read June, July, August is the "official" season?

Lee Wainwright House of the Rising Sun If you want further information on this contact Eric Burdon himself. He's been there. According to his book it's down Magazine Street in the French Quarter. (Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood - Eric Burdon) It's a good read.

It's what you want it to be!
I can't answer your questions. There are several properties in New Orleans with a claim to being 'The House of the Rising Sun'. Some of them have been burned down over the years. The BBC website says this about the brothel: " So, does any of this prove there was an actual brothel named The House of the Rising Sun in New Orleans? According to Pamela D Arceneaux, a well-respected research librarian who works at the Williams Research Center in New Orleans and helps maintain the Historic New Orleans Collection, er... no. She is quoted in numerous articles as saying on the subject: I have made a study of the history of prostitution in New Orleans and have often confronted the perennial question, 'Where is the House of the Rising Sun?' without finding a satisfactory answer. Although it is generally assumed that the singer is referring to a brothel, there is actually nothing in the lyrics that indicate that the 'house' is a brothel. Many knowledgeable persons have conjectured that a better case can be made for either a gambling hall or a prison; however, to paraphrase Freud: sometimes lyrics are just lyrics. Yes, maybe. Maybe, lyrics are just lyrics."

Background Information
It is obvious from the gables on this structure why it is called House of the Rising Sun. Is this currently a private residence or a commercial enterprise? Is it the house referred to in the song and was it actually a brothel at one time? There are other comments found on the web that say that the building was actually located on Bourbon Street but they do not give a specific location. For some reason this question popped into my head and I just had to find out. Thanks,
