A Visit to Saddam Hussein’s Palace
Many years ago now, Saddam Hussein was still in power in Iraq, and in the north of the country, in Kurdistan, he built himself a palace at the top of a mountain.

Travel, With a Drone
These days more and more travellers vlog and shoot video of their trips. And the drone has become a popular piece of equipment to take to enhance the end product. But are they worth it? What problems might arise and what scrapes might you get in for having one?
