Visa Denied
The best immigration headline I’ve seen all year: Swiss town denies passport to Dutch vegan because she is ‘too annoying’ I have now seen real democracy in action.

The perfect cappu
Now that I’ve been served a perfect cup, all other cups after this will somehow be lacking, even if they aren’t. @ The Bizarre Island, Rayong

Drumming to “The Man”
If I was rich, I’d pay this guy to drum out the soundtrack of my life.
