Taiwan: Lanterns & Dumplings
Taiwan Lantern Festival in the Year of the Dragon
Tantalising steaming broth shoots onto my fingers as my chopsticks pierce a delicate, perfectly formed dumpling. Catching the juicy flavours of pork, shrimp, ginger, garlic in my spoon which also contains soy sauce, vinegar, slivers of ginger and slices of chilli, it’s an enticing combination [...]

Flavour Trail of Prince Edward Island
Pot of steaming clams and crabs
The chilly North Atlantic Ocean worms its way through the gaps between skin and wetsuit. I’m chest deep in water that can’t be much above 12 degrees Celsius. I can feel liquid ice oozing down my neck as I duck my head beneath the surface.” At least the harbour is free of icebergs,” laughs Captain Perry Gotell w [...]

Chasing the Dalai Lama
Most of India swelters in July-August, but there’s no better time to make tracks for India’s ‘Little Tibet’. The Dalai Lama thought so, too.

The fabled land of Ladakh, a geographic and cultural outlier of Tibet, fits somewhat uneasily within the State of Jammu & Kashmir. [...]
Burma regains a place in the sun
Burma is the latest destination to be (re)discovered by the western world, basking in the warmth of a new-found approval by the PC brigade.

Negotiating the labyrinth – a v...
I’m heading back to India soon, an opportunity too good to miss. But first, the formalities…
Indian border security conjures up images of khaki-clad troops and paramilitary police, propped on folding chairs outside semi-permanent tent camps, flipping idly through passports or fingering their cumbersome rifles. Flies buzz, gaunt ca [...]

To the Manor Born at Hartington Hall
Our latest home exchange in Britain was drawing to a close. By now we had explored much of the Midlands from our base in the ‘Black Country’ between Birmingham and the Welsh borders, so it was time to venture further afield – except that this would prove to be the wettest April recorded in England for a hundred years.

Is it safe to go to Egypt?

From the Killing Fields to a Future: ...
At the age of 14, Ponheary Ly died and came back to life. At least, that’s how she describes it. The year was 1977, and the Khmer Rouge was on its deadly rampage in Cambodia. After seeing her father killed, along with 13 other family members, Ly was on the run and in hiding when some soldiers accused her of stealing food. They marched her dee [...]

Wonders of the Universe: Shaivites Ru...
One night recently I sat down in front of the box to watch an eager and boyish British scientist explain the origins of the universe in just four episodes. I confess I was mainly watching because I had caught a glimpse in the trailers of Pashupatinath, the great Hindu pilgrimage and cremation site, outside Kathmandu, where I had recently spen [...]
