Around 90 species of rodents are eaten around the world and, in Vietnam, rats are a popular item on the menu. Field rats fattened on rice growing on farmland are not seen as pests to get rid off but instead as a delicacy and particularly nutritional for pregnant women.

The streets of Eritrea’s capital Asmara in the run-up to the 2019 Independence Day celebrations on May 24 were unusually quiet, but cafes and restaurant were full of Eritreans from the diaspora who had traveled back to celebrate 28 years of national independence. In theory, this year’s Independence Day, the first after the end of the ‘no peace, no war’ stalemate with neighbouring Ethiopia, should have been cause for celebration. But for many, little has changed.

The Northeast Passage – the sea route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific oceans over the top of Norway and Russia – has for centuries fascinated intrepid seafarers in their search for a shortcut between the two oceans. Before the Suez and Panama canals, journeys from Europe to the Far East were lengthy, expensive and dangerous. Today, the journey from Murmansk in the far north of Karelia to the island of Sakhalin, north of Japan, only takes 21 days.
