Tharu Culture in Turmoil: Sauraha, Nepal
Scott Maier
Nepal has been civil war-free for exactly one year.  While this is progress to be sure, it hasn’t mitigated the accompanying cultural and social strife ...
Meeting David
Marianne de Nazareth

Firenze, or as we know it as Florence, was the city where Michaelangelo the Italian artist and sculptor was born.
Vienna Philharmonic on the Baltic Sea
Elizabeth Schotten Merklinger

Join me for an incredible musical experience, a 10-day music cruise on the Baltic Sea with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.
Sahara Safari
Alison Reed

‘Sahara’ is the Arabic word for desert and in Tunisia there are three different parts: sand, stones and salt. 
She and I
Nicole Fabian

I dreamt of my mother every night I was in Italy.  It had been two months since she died, and no, I wasn’t there to “find myself,” I was there for my honeymoon
Fruit for the Gods
Michael Chacko Daniels

Fuyu, I sink teeth
into and eat skin and all.
Hachiya, I gulp.
Penny Lane: Why can't the day trippers just let it be?
Patrick Browne

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes everyday. I live there, and always have, beneath a seldom blue, but admittedly suburban sky.
Everything coming up Roses in Eastern Quebec
Habeeb Salloum

Roses in history
Fools Gold
Antonio Graceffo

Some questions just shouldn’t be asked. And some people should be allowed to fly.

Speech Redux
James Campion

Let's say I am in no mood for another thousand-word lecture on Freedom of Speech, a subject that has never truly been grasped by an alarming majority of the citizens of these United States.
Tehran Confidential
Saja Najafi
I didn't notice the egg cartons at first. It was only when an Iranian friend pointed them out that I saw them

The Vacation Nation
James Skinner

Influx of tourists saves the Spanish economy for now- but the real pain is coming very soon
Brighton Beach Social Networking
Dean Borok

a few hundred youngish people dressed in black tie and evening gowns had descended on Brighton Beach and proceeded to jump in the ocean

Never Forget
Nicky Millman

In May I embarked on a Jewish organised tour of Poland. The name of the Jewish Organisation is called Aish UK and the trip was an intense and challenging experience.

Klein, aber fein
Amanda Quinlan
Travelling across Europe often evokes visions of backpackers hitchhiking through Southern France, holding cardboard signs announcing their destination.

Rainbow Legacy
Odetola Oluwatobi

The legacy of the Rainbow Nation's World Cup

A Bridge To Enlightenment
David Russell
What inspires a story?  In this case, it may have been seeing pictures of this year’s last Cherry Blossoms in Tokyo.
Tiny, Perfect Louisville
Gerald Levitch
Regional American museums get no respect – or hardly any, at least from art lovers.  Nobody goes to Nashville, for example, to explore its art collections. 
In Search of the Nomads of the Jade Sea - Chris Clarke
“You are mad!” Ken, my Kenyan housemate, concurred. “Why do you want to go there? Turkana is nothing but desert and bandits. Nobody goes there!”
Waugh's Grandson
John M Edwards

Coming to literary loggerheads with a blood relative of your dad’s favourite writer seems too serendipitous a sendup to actually be true. . .

BookCrossing for beginners: how not to do it
Chris Mills

Recently I decided to log on to the BookCrossing site again (www.bookcrossing.com) and take a look to see if anyone had by any lucky chance registered a copy of a children’s book that I’d love get my mitts on.
Creepy Crawlies
Amanda Callendrier
We finished building our new house in the French Alps about a year and a half ago. All in all, the construction, including the permits and such, took about two years. In American time, this translates to at least a quarter of a lifetime.
Mysore Maharajas
Marianne de Nazareth

It was a spur of the moment decision to take a break in Ooty, in the newly refurbished summer palace of the Maharaja of Mysore – his highness Srikanta Datta Narasimha Raja Wadiyar Bahadur the 26th Maharaja of Mysore in South-India.
REVIEWS Film & Books
A Call before you Sleep
Chris Castle
She looked at the calendar, following all the crosses leading to the one perfect empty square. The answering machine on a loop, his voice rolling over and over, the words simple, devastating
Blue Sky Day
Chris Castle

The letter comes through the door before nine. The post is early for the week. She sees the hospital stamp, the address. She doesn’t hesitate but opens its straight away. She reads the results and immediately rings the hospital.
Dreamwalker
Peter Ike Amadi
“So what do you do in your spare time?” Caesar asked the girl of his choice called Amaka.
“I’m a dreamwalker” she replied with a small smile.

Filming Action and Martial Arts in 3D
Creates Both Challenges and Opportunities
Antonio Graceffo
“In some ways, 3D is like real life. It’s the way we see the world normally.”3D Guy, Al Caudullo
Inception
Written & Directed
by Christopher Nolan
Music Hans Zimmer
Starring Leonardo de Caprio, Joseph Gordon Levitt, Ellen Page, Cillan Murphy, Marion Cotillard. Tom Hardy

Finally a visually stunning adult film that engages all the emotions. Surely the best movie of 2010 by far.

The Mourning Emporium
by Michelle Louric

Orion Childrens
Pub: November 2010

Miss Uish is the most evil woman on earth and makes Teo and Renzo suffer greatly, starving them with disgusting foods. The evil Teipolo is back and means to destroy London as well as Venice.
