  Socyberty — Authority: 562
  Having worked in Dubai for a couple of years, I couldn’t help but notice that not too many people are fortunate to have their families living with them.   The expatriates or foreigners account for almost 80% of the population and in that the Indians are a mighty 50%.

  I Eat My Pigeon — Authority: 116
  Acclimating to a new country is so different this time around, thanks in enormous part to the fact that I speak the official language. As such, I’m able to pick up things about Irish culture simply by listening and looking. It’s learning at its lazy finest. Here, some tidbits I’ve picked up over the past two ...

  Fernando's Desk — Authority: 117
  Just spent four memorable days in Beijing. It was my first visit to the city and I was captivated. The city revealed itself to be disarmingly friendly and creative, quite unlike some of the portrayals I have heard from other travellers.

  So there we were at Malahide Castle; ancestral home of the Talbot family. Photography of the fantastical centuries-old furnishings and portraits are strictly forbidden so when we left the castle interior, I sprang like a cat to snap anything I could. While photographing the arched gate-cum-portculis (complete with a ...

  Avuncular American — Authority: 415
