The wind sounds like a howling animal outside my window.  It moans with shrill, harsh cries with stirring regularity; its strength and power increasing with every hour.  You can smell a typhoon coming.  The air is charged with electricity and fresh with the scent of ozone.  The skies are an inconceivable blue studded with fluffy [...]

Time and time again, we are treated to fascinating and tantalising aspects of culture we might otherwise miss in the confines of [...]
