Tokyo
It’s my first evening in Tokyo. I’m on the subway, mouth watering in anticipation of dinner at Gonpachi – the restaurant where Prime Minister Junishiro Koizumi entertained George Bush. Suddenly the train lurches to a standstill in the tunnel. Fresh...

Kowloon
The first time I came to the territory, a grubby backpack and fifty quid to my name, I liked it so much, I stayed for nearly two years. Yes, the sci-fi skyscrapers and nightlife drew me in, but it was the traditional side of Chinese culture that...

St Moritz
In summer, rates at the five-star Kempinski Grand Hotel des Bains plummet. Who’d pass up the chance to savour a posh pamper break, and limitless high-octane alpine activities? Not I. Lavish treatments and some of the world’s most select product...

KwaZulu-Natal
I’m in a darkened hut, and the man sitting opposite me is shaking a leather pouch of ‘bones’ (bits of shells, jaguar and crow’s teeth, and the odd animal bone) onto the floor. He peers at them intently – they are a divination tool – while I hold my...

Tehran Region
I was tired. Exhausted. Ready to flop. I'd arrived in Zarabad, a sweet secluded village north of Tehran, with sleep rather than sightseeing on my mind. But in Iran, a land of soft light, poetic description and elegiac landscapes, the offer of a dusk...
