“Sunset felucca ride on the Nile? You know how much?” “Egyptian boat ride. Indian price. Brother, come.” “Very cheap price. One hour on the Nile. Only 10 Dollars!” As we strolled down the Nile Corniche in Luxor, the familiar calls echoed around us. By now, nearly a week into our journey through Egypt, we were

I was in Ho Chi Minh City back in 2019, all set to welcome 2020, and as the clock struck midnight, the sky above the Saigon River exploded into a riot of colours. Fireworks lit up the skyline, and the whole of Nguyễn Huệ Walking Street came alive with cheers of “Chúc Mừng Năm Mới
