I haven`t seen the entire thing but I can`t reccomend it highly enough. Turn Back Time: The High Street is a six [...]

The combination of 9 days in a hotel room and the complications of a 5-hour time difference which makes me feel I should be sleeping when I am working and awake when I am lying in bed tend to lead to higher than normal consumption of television. As a creature of habit, I tend to [...]

As I am currently in the UK I am enjoying checking my `norms`around food and drink and learning about a different perspective that comes from living half a world away… I might make it to my first Football (known as `soccer` in North America) match (known as `game`) in a few hours from now.
