Saturday night finally rolled around as I began to get excited about Balkan Beat Box’s Chan Centre performance. I arrived at 7:46 pm at the Chan Centre, more eager than ever, and armed with my trusty camera I entered the theatre area. The lower seats were filled up but I sat on the balcony […]

I was reading some great books on what is called a “Macrobiotic Diet” and, rather than explaining what this system is all about, here’s three interesting tidbits I found out about the history of […]
