from weekly email magazine Le Cool:

SECRETS AND DREAMS: Rakan

*Rakan is the grand master of Brick Lane Bike Polo. Photo by Tom Medwell.

Places I love… It’s hard to pin down, so I guess I’ll say – anywhere along the Thames, canals or little rivers you find in London. I think the presence of water creates a really nice atmosphere and whether semi-rural or densely urban you always find interesting buildings, nooks and crannies near water.

In the future… I guess that I continue to find the things I do exciting and stimulating. In a big picture sense – hmm – that in a collective sense people manage to establish for themselves a decent standard of living based on mutual solidarity in their everyday lives. OK – I hope to get better at making big generalising statements.

Play polo every Sunday after 2pm: Basketball Court, corner of Brick Lane/Shacklewell St, E2 7EG*

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
