Haruko stands out at the start of Haken because she doesn't need the company; a pragmatist who depends on performance over work relationships, she toils in the office, but she's not of the office. By the end of the series, however, expect Haruko to happily abandon the life of a temp for the warm, sticky familial embrace of the company...
...days preceding Ash Wednesday in Trinidad and Tobago, the 100,000 people who have taken to the streets make it a point to forget quite a few things.

And like every year, my innate Scottish reserve stops me from jumping into the fray with the same abandon as everyone else. Yet as I slip my cocktail back in my belt and watch grown adults spray each other with foam, I know that if I really want to enjoy myself, I must join the ranks of those happy drunk people cavorting around half naked.
