Maid in Japan
by Colin Goh
“A what café?” I said to my friend Ichi-san while visiting Tokyo three weeks ago. (‘Ichi’ is not his real name. To avoid potential embarrassment, I’ve had to fudge certain bits to protect the identities of […]

Marching with the Monks
by Colin Goh

The following piece was published in the Sunday Times on 23 September 2007.
