Ethical Dilemma: Giving More Than We Thought We Gave
A slow, thick summer breeze carried grimy city humidity down New York’s Fifth Avenue. As a river of lunchtime crowds coursed around us, I stood with a chatty girl ... read more

Police are pigs and the country club crowd is "decadent and depraved"
Well there was me and this oily New Zealander, a mister Adam Gibson, and could he ever smile. He’d walk into a room and whip out a big old beaming one and the girls would drop to their knees and hail to the Second Coming. He’s short guy—can’t be much ... read more

<p>[Western Oases, Egypt] On a hazy, dusty day in December, a few friends and I explored Egypt’s Western Oases. As we approached a fortress in the middle of the desert, a man in a blue scarf beckoned us over and, in broken English, asked if we wanted to see the “moomies.” After several minutes of confused hand gestures, he led us to a dark cave, filled with preserved human remains—mummies! There were a few more of these caves, all dug into the side of a dry mountain, and we walked around taking it all in. Afterwards, the crypt guard, alone in this remote spot in the desert, invited us to his home for some tea and dominoes. I almost beat him once, but it was clear he had more practice.</p>

<p>[Bangkok, Thailand] My friend and I were visiting Bangkok during the Thai New Year, or Songkran, and we spent an entire day taking part in what seemed to be the world’s largest water fight. Equipped with our own water guns and camping out on the street with locals, we pumped our water guns and filled up buckets all day long, drenching people along Khao San Road. You would never expect that just days before, violence had erupted during an anti-government protest on these same streets. On this day, people were nothing but happy, playful, and soaking wet!</p>
