Fernando Augusto Pacheco
Editor’s letter
Our editor in chief on the name of our London HQ, the appeal of its neighbouring park and the enduring power of quality of life.
Architecture
Heady heights and Swiss living, Japanese culture in São Paulo and the changing face of Bangkok.
The opener
In our global news round-up we find a (very) short-haul trip where dogs get VIP treatment, meet Singapore’s naturalist superheroes and make a case for taxi drivers donning national dress.
Diplomacy
Why the Swiss ambassador to the EU is the man of the moment. Plus: Brazil's embassy in North Korea and the Czechs' man in Vietnam pulls a pint.
Eat, don’t sleep
A culinary tour of stalls, stop-ins and restaurants best enjoyed during the small hours.
Design
Furniture-makers, a type foundry and an events space to rent. Plus: our Design editor has some tips for the tradeshows.
Moveable feast
Defying geography is a theme this month with Nordic style in Milan, a US coffee shop opening in Tokyo and gin from Berlin, creating a culinary cocktail that is truly cosmopolitan.
Africa/Middle East
Lebanon struggles in a leaderless limbo, Congo ponders Brazzaville name change and Dubai sees a rise in residency visas.
