Pizza Mall is pretty darn low on the totem pole of pizza parlors here in Korea. With fancy-schmancy international chains like Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa John’s, and California Pizza Kitchen alongside domestic divas like Mr. Pizza, what’s the neighborhood tomato smasher to do?

Graham H. on Dipity.I wrote about this on the Frontline blog, but it's worth a crosspost here. Two freelance journalists, Amanda Lindhout and Nigel Brennan, were kidnapped in Somalia six months ago today. There's no mention of their plight in the mainstream media today - at least not yet. It's a giv...more info>>>

A Funeral in Thailand

You know, my mum asked me to do something I really hate. She asked me to shave all my hair and eye browns off. She said I have to put on an orange robe and not wear any underwear too. Do you want to know why? She wanted me to become a novice monk for my great grandmother (on my father‘s side) who di...more info>>>

Just because the guidebook lists five temples for a city, it doesn't mean that other temples are not worth visiting. Sometimes you can find hidden gems that...more info>>>
