Didgeridoo Player

On my recent trip to Brisbane, Queensland Australia I passed through a local market and saw this fellow playing the Didgeridoo.

The Didgerido is a native Australian wind instrument, it's a long hollow piece of wood... look here see for yourself:

Having a quick chat with this fellow I found out that he was just back from 3 months on the beaches and in the mountains in Thailand on holiday, perfect peaceful surroundings for writing music.

Ladyboy Muay Thai Champion

Several years ago a kickboxing champion, Nong Tum, made National headlines in Thailand for more than just his string of victories... he was of Thailand's "Third Sex".

As a ladyboy he said he was picked on a as a child so he took up Muay Thai to proove himself, he turned out to be so good at it that he became a National Champion.

This is the video preview that used to be online at the National Geographic Channel website back in 2004. It was a preview of the National Geographic On Assignment program, "The Third Sex," which -- among other things -- featured a profile on Thai "ladyboy" kickboxer Nong Tum. The show was originally broadcast on Friday, March 26, at 7 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on the National Geographic Channel.
