He’s been everywhere: Thailand, Bali, Texas, inside catacombs, the Louvre, under the Eiffel Tower, overlooking Dubai, London, and now, in the underbelly of Amsterdam! I louvre him! I’ve been following his (mis)adventures: looking for Foucauldians, fashion victims, and the finest chocolate cake. And now so can you…
