» Welcome to the first Friday of June. In other words, holy sh** we’re half way through the calendar year. More often than not, this is where most people reach breaking point. Boredom sets in, energy levels plummet to zero and you find yourself unable to suppress the sort of emotions that are only deemed appropriate to express within the privacy of your own home or the office toilet.

» With Trump setting his sights on building a gigantic wall across the US border to keep out illegal immigrants, Clinton fighting to be the first female president and Cameron scratching his head over the Brexit biscuit, what is currently on our leader's mind, you might ask? Why, setting up a re-education camp for frequent government critics, of course.

My lack of interest in fusion food stems from the fact that more often than not, bringing two things that have already been perfected, mashing them together and hoping for the best just doesn't seem to bounce with my (taste)buds.

» Despite the common perception that Bangkok is one of the most exciting and convenient of cities to live in, surviving this concrete jungle requires its inhabitants have far more than thick skin and a love for shopping malls. This entails a certain know-how, a knack of knowing-how-to-get-s***-done, or as we like to call it, the art of being a Bangkokian.
