CAST is a research project that is currently running in Armenia. We are introducing a local WiFi/intranet-style network to three remote villages.

On the 25th of February, thousands of women took to the streets of Manchester to speak out against sexual violence, street harassment and victim blaming.

"Could the lady in the bathroom please extinguish her cigarette. Smoking is STRICTLY PROHIBITED within the building," a voice blares from the old-fashioned tin-box in the corner of the room.

Despite being a pasty, white English girl, I'm missing Warsaw's warm, sunny days. Right-hand road cycling and beach-side barbecues are also a thing of the past as I settle...

I'd like to dedicate my final Russia post to Misha (1996-2012), the four legged ex-feline companion (or maybe he was simply pining, who knows?) of the hardened Soviet babushka I encountered in a Russian photography shop on my third day in Petersburg.
