Having a Grand Old Time at a Real-Life 1920s “Westworld”

Are you watching HBO’s new American sci-fi western thriller, Westworld? (Or at least trying to follow the twisted plot?). Based on Michael Crichton’s 1973 film of the same name, Westworld isn’t your typical historical theme park. Intended for rich vacationers who pay to live out their western fantasies, guests are welcomed to the pioneer town by artificially intelligent…

Coney Island’s Short-Lived but Utterly Insane Dreamland

There’s no question that New York’s Coney Island is an utterly outrageous place; it’s most known for its freak shows, retro roller coasters, annual hot dog eating contest, and start-of-summer mermaid parade… and that’s all just the tip of the iceberg. It’s hard to believe it, but the wacky Brooklyn neighbourhood today is nothing compared…

Daughter Revives her Father’s Sleeping Chateau, Achieves Absolute Paradise on Earth

I‘ve just returned from a weekend in the middle of nowhere, France, staying in an 11th century chateau with better modern art and design than any major museum I’d ever reluctantly queued up for. And a peculiar thing happened when I got home after 48 blissful hours away. At 10 o’clock on a Sunday evening, I suddenly began re-decorating. In the midst of carefully re-arranging…

I Ate Sushi in the Attic of a 16th Century Paris Church

I have to say, this job does have its perks. It’s not everyday that you get sushi delivered to you in the attic of one of Paris’ Gothic masterpieces. Then again, we weren’t technically supposed to be there… There’s only one guy in Paris that can pull off a stunt like this and that is…

The Undiscovered Rainbow Market of Madagascar

It was love at first sight when I first spotted them gently blowing in the ocean wind, the rainbow of colours and intricate textures changing as they played with the midday sun. As we floated through the village, a maze of kaleidoscopic alleyways created by walls of hanging embroidery, timid local girls peeped out curiously…

A 1920s Brochure to Colonial East Africa

You could have told me this photograph was snapped in Los Angeles or San Francisco in the twenties and I wouldn’t have said otherwise if it wasn’t for the little barefooted boy in the right hand corner of the shot, looking strangely out of place, if not lost. Of course, the only strange thing about…

How to Mess with the Nazis: The CIA’s Sabotage Manual for Ordinary Citizens

Trolling the Nazis. Sounds like fun right? During World War II, the OSS, (now the CIA) put out a “Sabotage Field Manual”, which described innovative ways in which ordinary citizens could sabotage America’s enemies by doing a range of disruptive things from starting arguments to starting fires. The OSS Director William J. Donovan recommended that the…

The Living American Ghost Towns of Panama

If I’m honest, before coming to Panama, I really didn’t know much about its murky 20th century history with the Americans. In fact, I remember rather swiftly passing over the subject in history class (I went to an American high school in London). I wasn’t aware it was so recent and raw and that I’d still find…

A Guide to Falling in Love with Old Town Panama

“I could live here”, I said like a broken record roaming the streets of Casco Viejo, Panama’s old town. It can be your Buena Vista social club, an open air gallery of street art, a time capsule of French colonial architecture or a living, crumbling museum of rich Latin American culture and history. It is the very…

The Ghosts of Contadora Island, Panama’s Forgotten Pearl

I‘ve met Panamanians who talk about Contadora Island as if it were a relative they lost, like a favourite uncle from childhood they adored. I spoke to a Dutch ex-pat sailor who is convinced there is a curse over Panama’s Pearl islands. “There’s always something mysterious that happens to big resorts on these islands. They never last. Take that huge…
