» From returning to college, starring in the Netflix series The OA and getting pregnant, New York-based singer-songwriter Sharon Van Etten has had a busy few years prior to the arrival of her fifth studio outing, Remind Me Tomorrow.

» Thais are experts when it comes to eating fish. This has to do with people's lifestyle since the old days, as their lives have always intertwined with rivers and canals. A variety of fish is easy to find. People don't even have to buy them because they can catch fish themselves. From experience, people soon learn distinctive qualities about each fish and what sort of food should be made from it, including how to season it and what kind of vegetables would go with it. Another mindset is to not let the fish go to waste. If a lot of fish are caught, they can be preserved to eat later.

» I am a big lover of kingfishers. They come in such beautiful colours, they are simply fascinating and make for great pin-up bird posters. Most often than not, when I have stepped out for birding in Vietnam, and recently in Singapore and Philippines, I have spotted this bird. Once a person has heard the loud shrill call of the collared kingfisher, it's difficult not to recognise it the next time over.
