This was a fun post I researched over the last few weeks but finished editing on a beach in Goa. The story of the Japanese soldier who fought for 5 armies blew my mind.

Researching this post blew my mind. I had no idea how many countries were involved in the opium trade in the late 19th century. It’s not just the British and Chinese! It really spanned the Indian Ocean.

I loved legos as a kid. I never understood the adult dude obsession with legos. I may just have found a reason to play with Legos at 50!
