  3. Me and Willy in the Bad Bush

    Blog: Drifting Aimless - 6 December 2011

    My head banging with a hangover, I awake, rolling to one side I slowly open my eyes. Before me, not much more than a foot from my face, lies that which had perhaps once served as a reproductive male organ, twitching and jerking it swings and bobs hither and thither as if it twere set [...]

  7. Open Letter to the Government of Vietnam

    Blog: Fish Egg Tree - 12 August 2011

    The government has long been an obsessive follower of my work, so I have no doubt that this letter will be read promptly. I hope that the response will come as swiftly.I will try to keep this note brief and to the point, without unnecessary details. My patience and reserve thus far should not be mistaken for an absence of substance to elaborate upon.

  13. In the city of tailors

    Blog: Drifting Aimless - 21 March 2011

    I take the early morning bus to Hoi An, a city famed for its tailoring industry. Having been fitted for a nice cashmere suit I became dimly aware and somewhat troubled by the fact that it would almost certainly not fit me once I returned from traveling. I found it strange that despite the fact [...]

  15. Sleeper Bus Blues

    Blog: Drifting Aimless - 1 March 2011

    Arching her back and thrusting her chest forward, the Danish girl shot me a wry look from the corner of her eye, “yah but I was dissapointed, they wouldn’t let me break off the head myself”. It might have been just the motion of the minibus as it careered around the heavily potholed road, but I could [...]

  17. Hanoi’s Secret Cafe

    Blog: Lonely Girl Travels - 16 February 2011

    I love rooftops, and I love rooftops in cities—sitting up on your bird’s perch and watching the strange dance of it all. There’s no pigeons in Hanoi (except the ones you see plucked and pink at the food stalls), and there’s virtually no places to take respite. Jacob told me about the secret cafe—not so [...]

  18. Learning to Ride On a Motorbike in Hanoi

    Blog: Lonely Girl Travels - 14 February 2011

    Hanoi is a bipolar child with a strict bedtime. Clinging hands behind me to the metal rack, I try to suppress the involuntary flinching—a circumstantial case of Tourette’s. It’s Saturday morning, and my first ride aback a motorbike through the frenetic traffic of Hanoi. If you want to see the word “clusterfuck” defined, acted out [...]

  23. Sailing the Dragon Bay

    Blog: Drifting Aimless - 26 December 2010

Even after all these years I winced like some traumatized war veteran at a twenty one gun salute. Can there be any greater shame than being young, male and having [...]
