Everywhere around Shanghai, like the unbreakable code of an underground society, workers post their phone numbers all over the walls, side walks, and any other place where they hope someone will call them for work. Most are illegal migrants… and many of these phone numbers are fake ID services.

China and Japan have a long history of tension and confrontation. Many still remember the Nanjing massacres from the second world war… a fresh wound that many Chinese are not ready to forgive. And, it all erupted in April 2005 when the Japanese government apparently published their new history books… that did not mention the Nanjing massacres.

Since the Chinese government basically blessed the protests, the police stood by and did not intervene as protesters broke windows of Japanese businesses and restaurants. Though the reason for the protest was serious, the faces in the crowd were smiling… it was a “fun day out” for most.

Shanghai, like many other cities in China, is slowly opening up it’s doors to the rest of the world for the first time in centuries. The sudden accessibility of new fashions, new cultures and new ideas all around the globe has had a profound impact on the daily lives of Shanghai people.

The famous Australian V8 super cars make it for a meet in Shanghai. I was in the pitlane following Paul Morris’s team for Sirromet Wines.

They are the kings. They are the rulers. They are the decision makers… or so they think. In the south of Pakistan, the Muslim population is much less strict about their beliefs… Malik once confided to me, “Mulsim by day, yes, because we have to. But, by night…”

Hidden behind tall walls, and often suppressed by the Muslim culture of their country, these women have not only their story but their own wishes and dreams. These women come from Lahore, from the most part, and live in the more open and accepting Muslim culture of South Pakistan…

Innocent and young. Surrounded by poverty. Living difficult lives. Stuck in the middle of a two front war that isn’t theirs… Yet, they still find time to play and laugh.

This is the result of a 6-month long undercover investigative report I created for the Global March Against Child Labour covering the underground (and illegal) football industry employing children in India and Pakistan. We found balls being produced for Adidas, Coca-Cola and even The Economist…

The results brought UNICEF, WTO and Global March representative to the same table to find a solution.

Due to the nature of the report and that we had to go undercover, no professional photo equipment was used, but rather smaller low-quality cameras… so I apologise for the poor quality of the images.

North India, Kashmir and Nepal are sanctuaries to many Buddhists… I had the chance and the opportunity to visit a number of temples, including the Dalai Lama’s government in exile in McCloed Ganj.

During the 2002 Japan & Korea world cup, I had the occasion to have a very guided and controlled visit of the South Korean Demilitarised Zone – still controlled by a joint US & Korean military force.

One of the main point they are protecting is this railway station that is built right on the edge of the North/South Korean border… ready to be opened the day peace is established…
