I never thought I'd live to see this

Let me start by saying something controversial. I like 50 Cent AND Ja Rule. And I like Piers Morgan AND Jeremy Clarkson. I like them for different reasons. I like Ja Rule's music, as simple as that. Even though I prefer 50 Cent's music. Jeremy Cla...

Gearing up for my first trip to Saudi, anything I should know?

19 Feb 2024 1 minute read 3 comments LeftFooted $0.08

I did that thing that people who use low cost airlines do. I was looking for a getaway trip for a week and I found some cheap flights to lesser known city in Saudi Arabia, so I booked it without thinking much. Except, there's a few hurdles for me n...

Why I wouldn't worry too much about the BRICS

Some people, for reasons I'm not entirely clear on, are rooting against the US. I understand that if you're from Iran or Russia or China, but I don't know why people from Europe, especially Western Europe, or even American themselves are doing this....

3 jobs for content creators that you may not know exist

16 Jan 2024 1 minute read 2 comments LeftFooted $0.05

I should preface this by saying that these jobs exist but it always depends on the size of the company. A big media company probably has all three, in addition to writers and other staff. In a smaller company, you may have two or three people that d...

THESE CLOWNS

I should probably state from the outset that this is a rant, and it has to do with football. When Saudi clubs began offering outrageous contracts to fading stars and, on occasion, equally outrageous contracts to rising stars, the world did what it a...

A friendly reminder (to myself as well)

I'm assuming you've all noticed, but centralisation is one of the world's recurring issues. And I'm not talking about crypto. Few large companies own most of the platforms we use. If, for example, you work in the media, you're at the mercy of Googl...

"Digital nomad go home!"

I'm gonna keep this brief. Almost exactly 10 years ago I left a job I hated to pursue my dream of becoming a full time writer. That horrible job experience also laid the first brick to build the wall between myself and my homeland. I began to desp...

LAYOVER Episode 4 - Bad airports (to spend the night)

4 Dec 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted $0.02

So far, I've had the admittedly not particularly pleasant chance of spending the night at four separate airports. The best, or perhaps I should say least worst, was Barcelona Airport, which was alright. It was large, empty, there were large TV show...

LAYOVER Episode 3 - Wizz Air

3 Dec 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted $0.03

Did you know that Wizz Air travels 50 190+ destinations in 53 countries? And did you know that Wizz Air owns 191 aircraft? Most of which are Airbus A320s. And did you know that the plural of 'aircraft' is still aircraft? I digress. As it turns ou...

LAYOVER Episode 2 - Dachshund

I've got a friend, let's call her Person, that moved here six months after I did. We met a language exchange cafe and occasionally hang out for beer, or wine, or coffee, or all three. Now, after one year and six months, she's decided to go back hom...
