With poor internet in a ‘closed country’ we found ourselves trying to plan the rest of it. We walked across the border from Iran to Armenia without a serious plan. By now we knew Hayden’s defence date and had made plans for a family Christmas in Iceland. The rest was fluid. Somehow...

Li Daiyu and Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins on the Atlantic coast. Rather than taking the plane all the way, they took the train from west to east crossing by Canada. The thought that they could go across whole continent was exciting. ...
