Anti-government protesters demonstrate outside the government house in Bangkok, Thailand, on Nov. 27, 2008. The campaign by the PAD (People's Alliance for Democracy), which began in earnest in May, has paralyzed the Thai government. The group - an alliance of royalists, businessmen and the urban middle class - claim that the government is corrupt and hostile to the monarchy. They also accuse it of being a proxy for former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who remains very popular among Thailand's rural poor.

Widespread unemployment in Mongolia has caused many social problems such as depression, alcohol abuse, domestic violence and crime. Otguntugs, 28, and his wife Ounsuren, 36, use what money they have from collecting bottles to purchase cheap Russian vodka which they drink in order to stave off the bitter cold that embraces Ulaanbaatar for large portions of the year.
