After nearly two inactive years, I’ve decided to relaunch my old blog. The previous name, ‘Like Pulling Teeth’ — an apt evocation of the bored summer that gave rise to it — has been exchanged for something simpler. I’m also hoping this site will strike a more professional pose. Expect it to focus more squarely on my journalistic activities: articles, photos and other interesting arcana from across Asia.

I haven’t been this excited since they started selling condensed milk in a tube.
