Goodwill Ambassadors


I will confess to having done some fairly ill-considered things during my visits to other countries. Some I deeply regret, others made me sick, some could have killed me, but didn't. But there are some dumb things that I am proud to say I would never do. These are three of those things.


The world's largest fish market is reversing a month-old ban on tourists at its riotous early-morning auctions.

Tsukiji market in the Japanese capital Tokyo had accused tourists of flouting hygiene rules and causing disruption with flash photography. Some tourists had been caught hugging, licking and even riding the huge frozen tuna that are Tsukiji's most arresting sight, an official said.
