Curious to read what our contributors write on their blogs? Here’s a few examples.
Mike, our contributor from Japan, muses on the nature of islands on Photo and a question: what is an island?
This photo was taken today, on the northeast coast of Okinawa, Japan.There’s way too much information on the world wide web.Some folks say an these things have to be at least two acres in size, to be considered an island .Otherwise, they are just a rock.
Liz, our contributor from Australia, shares her impressions on a neighbourhood cafe: Brunch with a twist at Runcible Spoon, Camperdown
I have fallen in love with Runcible Spoon, a cafe hideaway with a quirky name taken from a whimsical line in Edward Lear’s The Owl and the Pussycat (‘they dined on mince and slices of quince which they ate with a runcible spoon’).
Anu, our contributor from India, describes her visit to Wai, its river and its temples on Wai – An image of Kashi in the heart of Maharashtra
Our first visit to Wai was by chance. We were on the way to Satara, to attend a festival at the temple there. I was then pregnant, and my tendency to throw up on the road was higher than normal, which led to frequent stops on the highway. One such unscheduled stop found us near a board that said, ‘Wai – 10Km’. My father-in-law suddenly remembered a visit he had made to the area almost half a century ago, on his first job in the PWD
Ana, contributing editor, wrote Notes from a road trip to the Texas Hill Country

We hopped off the boat to visit the ruins of Bluffton, a town that was submerged in 1937 when the Buchanan Dam was built. There wasn’t a lot to see; however, her narration was captivating.
