Words and pictures

Probably my favourite feature article of the last couple of years, this - about Bolivian lady-wrestling! And check out the slide-show of incredible photos. On the spot reporting, brave commissioning: "Right, boss, I've got a story about lady wrestling in the La Paz shanty towns...." and great quotes. The writer, of course, speaks Spanish - in a different life, had I known I was going to be a journalist, I'd have stuck to a language up to degree level, but I thought I was going to be an international rugby player, dumped them all at 16! Damn and blast, what an advantage a second language would be... perhaps journo schools should offer refresher courses? Anyway... read and enjoy.

Yeah, I completely agree. Two years of living in the Netherlands - where every Dutch Person I know in their 20s or 30s speaks fluent English and at least one other language (if not two) has embarrassed me to the core. If only I knew Mandarin, my journalism efforts in China might have paid off better, though that would have required great foresight and a minimum of four years invested in full-time study. Now having a crack at Hindi/Urdu and may need to brush up my schoolboy French to get int the international job market.

What's the second book all about then? Put a link to you on my blog, btw, best wishes.
