...Most of Paraiso Travel is set in America, where Reina and Marlon discover that the awful crossing they've just finished was only the beginning of their odyssey, as migrants and as a couple. To the boy, in fact, Reina morphs into a metaphor for America itself: Is she - is it - really worth the trials he's suffering? When the two become separated, his search for her is conflated with the larger question. And perhaps another: Is our immigration dysfunction really worth the human pain it causes migrants and the political pain it causes...
...another deviation from the typical Ashanti video, in which relationships always work out and the man doesn’t want to be with any other chick but Ashanti. Also, in this video, there’s no elephant. The basic plot is simple enough to follow. Girl loves boy. Boy cheats. Girl catches and kills boy. Or does she?

No one could have predicted that, but that is how it felt to me. I also think that I had to be in a position where I had the resources to back...
This is a boy born to redundancy, a second son in a tradition that regards the eldest child as heir and his younger sibling as "the spare", and in an age that abrasively questions the point of the monarchy while devouring reports of its activities. Frequently derided as a nightclubbing wastrel before his 10-week stint in Helmand province, the prince now finds himself lionized by many of the same voices that used to criticize him. "I don't want to sit around Windsor, because I generally don't like England that much and it's nice to be away...
