  1. What a beautiful picture!
    Thanks for the article!

    Where can I read the names of the participants of the congress? Where there people from Germany taking part in it? Someone speaking German who can tell me about it in German?

    I urgently want to know more about the village Semtok. Who can tell me about it? I would like to know everything about people and life and the history of Semtok.
    Where can I read about it and see pictures?

    Is there a river in Semtok? A lake or such thing?

    I will be very happy about answers. Thanks!
