City of Veils by Zoe Ferraris

It’s true what they say about how travel and literature open our eyes and teach us about people and cultures totally foreign to us.

City of Veils may feel so-so as a murder mystery, but it is set against a very fascinating backdrop–Saudi Arabia. It is a very insightful and educational read, and it taught me a lot about Muslims and the culture in conservative Middle Eastern countries.

  I watched Coldplay perform here in the Philippines in 2017, and I had the crappiest tickets at the crappiest venue. I think I was standing a kilometer away from the stage. I barely saw anything. At the concert last night, Chris Martin read a poster a girl was holding, and it said, “In 2017, I was at the far back. Now I am this close.” Chris Martin then asked four people sitting on the very, very last row to move to the very front, then proceeded to sing Everglow. I don’t think I ever sobbed so hard during a concert. The first two photos are the ones I took when I attended their 2017 concert in Manila. The next two are from last night. All I know is, whether you’re at the far back or a bit closer to the stage, the magic is the same. Their concerts will always be an adventure of a lifetime.
