I have waited tables at restaurants around the world. However, it was only at Mavalli Tiffin Rooms (MTR), in Bengaluru, that I stepped into the restaurant floor without footwear. The restaurant dates back 100 years. In 1924, about two lakh people lived in Bangalore, George V was the Emperor of India, and the Gateway of India was inaugurated in Bombay. The same year, four brothers opened a restaurant called The Brahmin Coffee Club, serving coffee and idli.

by Jack MarshallIt’s clear that bikes and cars don’t mix well on the same roads designed primarily for four-wheeled vehicles. We must find ways to separate these modes of transport – ideally without causing the pushback we’ve seen from the Grey St “Streets for People” project. Despite the project being 90 per cent funded by central government and largely run by volunteers, the opposing voices seemed to feel they were losing something that belonged to them.

Waikanae Surf Club was packed with a motley crew if there ever was one. There were folks from forestry, iwi, farming and a few others, like scientists and engineers, all here to discuss Tairāwhiti freshwater: It’s dirty, it’s got actual human crap in it, we take too much, and often it’s not safe to swim in our water. To put it lightly, we've got problems.

by Jack MarshallThroughout my travels, I’ve discovered that the world’s greatest cities have public transport from the airport. It’s time Gisborne joined their ranks. In London, public transport was an adventure. I leapt on to the train and sipped tea all the way to King’s Cross station. In Sydney, it was scenic. On my way to Manly, I stepped off a train and on to a ferry that cruised around the iconic Opera House. Catching public transport can be enjoyable.
