Linguistic oxymoron

It gets very oxymoronic when you consider that Alex the Malaysian sees that fluency in English is a potential ticket to better things for Asians and Alex the German sees fluency in Chinese as a potential ticket to better things for Europeans. And when you think about it, both are true.

Experiments

I have been eating spaghetti for the past 3 days because i’m on a quest to find out the best way to reconcile pasta with Asian cooking. Boiled in the afternoon, fried at night. I haven’t found the perfect recipe yet, but maybe that’s because i’ve been on a vegetarian diet as well because i’m [...]

The People HEre

Studying here is interesting, to say the least. On one side we have a disillusioned academic, a professor who bitterly attacks anything with modernist traces, especially works of le corbusier (and the guy himself), resenting his own indoctrination of modernist-based architectural education.

What is madness?

Madness is jogging over to your friend’s place at 2am in the freezing Glaswegian wind to return your friend’s laptop clad in a pair of thin track pants and a thin sports jacket. BRRR!!
