Corvids are widely considered some of the smartest animals on Earth, with cognitive abilities that rival those of great apes and young human children. Their problem-solving skills, use of tools, make them standout subjects in animal intelligence research.

Fibreglass, raffia, pearl shell
This mask is called Zugubal Koey Mawal, which translates to large masks of the spiritual ancestors' in the Zenadh-Kes (Torres Strait) language. This contemporary mask is based on traditional examples which had important connections with spirit, the moon and totems - all of which related to seasons and voyaging.

14 hours of jetlag is bad enough, but coupled with airplane-flu it’s even worse. Note the complete absence of deep sleep during the night.

The aspect of jetlag that really annoys me isn’t the weird sleep schedule, it’s waking up at 1am because I’m starving.

As we are facing the end of our month-long trip to #Australia, one annoying constant was how utterly crappy our wifi connections have been. In every hotel rooms or VRBOs (except the Bondi Junction Meriton in Sydney, bless them!) we’d connect to wifi, get slow ~3 Mbps downloads and the wifi […]

After a month in Australia I have stopped counting the number of time that Australians told us that they (1) truly love Canadians and (2) that they are really worried about us.

Nothing like miscalculating your wake-up time the morning of a flight. Coffee, breakfast & 🦷 brushing had to wait until we were past security. We’ll shower this afternoon at our hotel in Cairns. 💩? Not happening.

Funny story from my first day in #Australia. During our first walk around town, I kept turning in the wrong direction. I just realized why. In the Southern hemisphere, the sun crosses the sky to the North. Unconsciously, I’m using sunlight to tell me which way is South. Here it’s the other way […]

Travel time between our house and our hotel in #Sydney, 31 hours 13 minutes. To make jetlag our bitch, we then embarked on a 13 km walk to the beaches and back.

One of these days, #Trump will pass out in the middle of an event while someone else is talking and people will carry on as normal. Until one of his cronies finally gets enough courage to rouse him up and they find out he just suffered a massive stroke and that “precious” minutes have been lost.
