Five years ago I became vegetarian. When I lived in Bali I pushed myself even further to veganism and further yet to raw veganism. A year ago I started craving fish. This craving was coupled with a feeling of lethargy and weakness. So I became pescatarian (a vegetarian who eats fish). Last week I had an appointment with a periodontist to address an onset of rather rapid gum recession. He looked at my gums and told me I was likely anemic.

Nik and I bonded over a quick session where he showed me how to do things “properly”. “If you punch like that they’ll break your arm”, “If you don’t guard your jaw with your other hand like this, they’ll smash it to pieces” .. clearly a no-nonsense MY kind of guy.
