This week I’m highlighting some of the best bits from my blog.

First, my account of living on a kibbutz in Israel when I was 18. Warning: this story includes an embarrassing shower scene.

Next up, a raucous night out in Osaka, with my teaching colleagues. Warning: this story features a surprise appearance from a pair of testicles.

And finally, pondering the strangers on my commute; y’know those people you see everyday but never talk to. Who are they? What shampoo do they use?
