Was I a Model in Japan?. Top Story - April 2024.
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?

Watch the Most Active Volcano in Central América Erupt
Volcán de Fuego is the most active volcano in Central America. The clue is the name, translating to the Volcano of Fire. It erupts every 20 minutes! Maybe not a life-ending, apocalyptic, civilisation-ending eruption but low-level eruptions of gas, smoke, and lava constantly rumbling away in the background of Antigua, Guatemala. You can sit on a rooftop bar and admire it puffing away like the caterpillar on a hooka with Alice in Wonderland.

You move, you life
As I was leaving Kuala Lumpur, what Bryan said as I pulled out of his driveway reverberated, as if it had run around a mental track and finally got to a point where it could present itself again, in the style of a kid, hand raised, waving, because they had something they just have to share.

What’s the least visited country?
The least visited country globally is Tuvalu, a tiny island nation in the Pacific Ocean. According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, Tuvalu only hosted 3,700 visitors in 2019. This is significantly lower than the second least visited country, the Marshall Islands, which had 6,000 visitors in the same year. Tuvalu's remote location, limited resources, and small size contribute to its low visitor numbers. However, it offers unique experiences for those who make the journey, including crystal-clear waters, coral reefs, and a rich cultural heritage.

The Iconic Tower Bridge
It is often confused with London Bridge by many around the world. That Bridge is one Bridge away, but not as attractive as this one, even though London Bridge has been around in some shape or form since the 11th Century. Tower Bridge, on the other hand, is over 120 years old and still going strong. Forty thousand people use it per day. That's a lot of people. It just highlights the ingenuity of its design and strength. Also, it's an excellent bridge to cross over.

Religion Has Given Us Some Amazing Architecture. Content Warning.
Introduction Last weekend I visited Durham Cathedral with Fiona, Matt and Lesley and it got me thinking about how stunning many religious buildings are, and the work that has gone into them. My dad was a builder (he is still around, having also been a farmer and installing over two thousand Post Boxes throughout the north and west of England) and I worked as a labourer with him so I am constantly impressed by these structures.
