...Cartridge fuel stoves that sit atop compressed butane or spillproof butane-blend canisters. They produce a hot, clean-burning flame--though the canisters are not recyclable. MSR makes a lightweight, match-free model called the SuperFly...

Summer is the time of flowers: thick bougainvillaea blooms in shockingly bright pink, jacarandas litter the paths with purple petals, and flame trees force starbursts of red against whitewashed temple walls. The air is thick with the scents of jasmine and the tiny yellow flowers of the ubiquitous neem trees.
