I’ve done wild things in Tokyo, but charading as Tom Cruise is a first (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I wasn’t planning to pretend to be Tom Cruise today, but it’s hard to avoid when you’re 24 storeys up, climbing through the metal grates and stairs at the top of a Tokyo skyscraper, about to make your way to the helipad above. I’m even carrying a weapon, though in this case it’s a wooden katana, a practice sword that might be gripped tightly in my hand but is still unlikely to help me overpower the security guard keeping a close eye on my progress. I’ve done some wild things in Tokyo. The Japane

There’s danger when you’re sitting at one of the outside tables at Maitenia in Ciboure, in the Pays Basque region of France. It’s not so much the danger of overeating, or of getting a little drunk in the midday sun, though that is a threat. The main danger is being hit by a pelota ball.

Now, as background, you should understand that the middle
Is this overnight ferry to Japan better than flying? I found out (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People are running to board the ferry – running. And not because they’re late. The New Camellia isn’t due to depart for another three hours. Still, as I walk down the long boarding hall towards the gangway multiple people push past, trying to hurry while also dragging heavy luggage, puffing as they lollop along. It takes a while for the penny to drop, to figure out what the rush is about. If you’ve booked a second-class cabin on the New Camellia for this eight-hour overnight journey from Busan t
In a city heaving with celebrity chef restaurants, I’d rather go here (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You probably see Dubai and think, “oh great, a celebrity chef restaurant”. And it’s true that there are some big names with very fancy eateries in this Arab emirate. Heston Blumenthal has one, Gordon Ramsay has one, Björn Frantzén has one – and those are all in the same resort complex (Atlantis). But you don’t have to have your own TV show or Michelin stars to make exciting food in Dubai. This city is home to migrants from across the Middle East and South Asia, and those people have brought thei
