A shark in a karate uniform. Yes! This sharp-toothed and finned creature, traditionally known for its ferociousness, is now poised in a white gi, a brown belt cinched at its waist, and an inscrutable expression on its face. This striking image, known as “Karate Shark,” is swimming its...

Japan’s Top Online Hobby Stores for International Shoppers

My favourite is Mandarake. It might not be that popular, possibly because it’s categorized as a second-hand store. Even though they have a few new products, the majority of their inventory is pre-owned. Despite most products being pre-owned, they are very conservative about labelling a pa...

What The Little Mermaid Taught Me About International Travel

I’m a grumpy tourist. I try to avoid the usual tourist haunts because well… everybody goes there and I don’t like crowds. I grit my teeth and go anyway because they’re important landmarks. Gaudi’s famous cathedral in Barcelona, La Sagrada Familia? The line-ups stretche...

Getting T-mobile international data to work in Hong Kong (and maybe China/Japan)

The T-mobile ONE plan gives you unlimited data while roaming in 140+ countries — for about $70 / month. It’s maybe more expensive than buying SIM cards in each individual country, but by reducing the amount of SIM card buying and swapping, it’s a pretty good value. That’s ...

International Orange

 Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco. I am standing in front of the beauty of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge. It is consumed by the fog, Karl, and I can barely see it, but it’s there. This masterpiece of engineering and architecture was completed in 1937 and at the time it was the...

What Role Can Privileged White People Play In International Development?

The Radical Origins of International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day was adopted as an official holiday by the UN in 1975. Better late than never? No. I don’t think that phrase applies here. It might be more apt to say, that by 1975 the day of women’s liberation struggle had been sufficiently stripped from its conte...

On the 3rd of May 1968, a Lockheed L-188 Electra on its way from Houston to Dallas encountered a line of powerful thunderstorms high above the plains of Texas.
