Mr One Dollar

We then encountered a long queue of people holding their passports. At the head of the line was a large overweight gentleman in a grey tunic sitting on a wooden chair similar to the ones we had had at school twenty years previously. The customs official’s hair was thinning and combed backwards, though he hadContinue reading “Mr One Dollar”

Shark Fins

So what will the Chinese eat when all the sharks in the oceans have been killed to sate their need to consume shark fin? I can tell you the answer: Turtle and dolphin flippers and manta ray wings. The reason I can answer the question is that these creatures are already been caught off theContinue reading “Shark Fins”

The Canoeist

I find it hard to believe what is happening in Seaton Carew, near Hartlepool, in the UK – all investigative journalists worth their salt should be heading there straightaway. Seaton Carew is the home of the mysterious “Canoeist” John Darwin, who ‘disappeared’ in the North Sea in March 2002, only to apparently come back from theContinue reading “The Canoeist”

Lithuania’s Hill of Crosses

Bulldozed three or four times by the Soviet authorities the Hill of Crosses in Northern Lithuania always came back. Today, over 50,000 crosses of all sizes are found at this site which occupies perhaps 1,800 square metres of land, spread over two hillocks, 12km north of the city of Siauliai, Lithuania’s 4th largest city. TheContinue reading “Lithuania’s Hill of Crosses”
