This article was a complete mistake, born from a wild afternoon between The Daily Mail and a thousand messages to my flatmate. “Which one of the Kardashians is which?” My Google search history screams. “Who is this Tristan man? Does he have a stable income?” The Daily Mail sighs in irritation and drums its lacquered […]

Grief is the thing with mustard
I HAVE my dad to thank for my Spanish degree. My dad and a suspicious-seeming mustard jar from so-and-so at work. “You speak Spanish don’t you?” he squinted at me one evening. “Can you translate the ingredients in this? I have no idea what the f*** they are.” I was 13 at the time, speckled […]

Hola Republica: The Fight for Catalan Independence
In some senses, it’s like an adult vision of Disneyland: the streets swathed in beer bottles, flags and the odd choral outburst. It’s an almost suffocating heat as a million banner-clad locals take to the street, singing, chanting and – on occasion – grinding to a semi-flamenco rhythm. To the common foreigner, it seems like […]

November 2015, and the promise of change flows freely through Myanmar. To international audiences, it’s a country that has never lurked far from controversy. Dominated by an oppressive military rule throughout the latter half of the twentieth century, and frequently peppered by the threat of civil war and terrorist intervention, it seems a change of […]

How was it? “It was… She was…” He […]
