If you're of a certain age (oh, mid-sixties for example) and were into "the new wave" of music that came out in the eighties, you might recall a German art band called Einstürzende Neubauten: translation, Collapsing New Buildings. Noisy, obtuse, artsy, they personified some of what it felt to be like during the 1980's. …
Since Covid, there has been this yin / yang conversation happening about where and how to work. Throngs of people returned to their homes to try to diminish the virus but, as a by-product, also realised the enjoyment and benefits of not having to spend ninety minutes (twice a day) commuting back and forth…
Despite its idiosyncrasies, the United States is still a popular place to visit. In fact, the USA recorded a total of 22 million tourists in 2021, ranking 7th in the world in absolute terms. It's a big place with lots to do, so perhaps that number doesn't come as a surprise. Like all places,…

Let's get right to the point, here. Why stay in an unoriginal, boring cardboard box when you travel? You don't go to Paris to see the Champs-Elysees . . . again . . do you? When you're surrounded by luxurious 16th mini-palaces that you can actually afford, why would you stay in…
No, that is not an horrific typo on our part; we know "well English." Instead, it is an eye-catching headline that will likely pique the interest of our readers who live the good old USA. It's a big place, America, with lots of stuff, and so many of its citizens have the ways…
When something secret shows up in the most public of places.
It's no news that, many many years ago, Korea was divided into two; South Korea and North Korea. (If your history of this period is sketchy, the country was split apart primarily as a result of the end of World War II and…
Why should the rich be the only ones who get in on all of the good things in life? Well, yes, of course, they're rich. But why does that matter? Yes, you're right, I understand that their riches often pay for the luxuries that us Hoi polloi have. Fine, so they…
Want to go back, way back in time when the Beatniks and the Hippies roamed the earth? Want to explore a place that most certainly is not on your written agenda? How about a road trip to Coolville? Yes, the name of this town in Ohio, USA is Coolville. At first…
