Travel and restaurants
Hotel openings
We visit a few new hotels, from The Calile in Brisbane to a former Buddhist temple in Kyoto.
Retail
Inventory no. 76
From primeval mezcal to a primate-themed panacea, we bring you a menagerie of little wonders from around the globe.
Affairs
Defence & diplomacy
The importance of pipelines, crunch time for the US in Afghanistan, and an interview with Pakistan's representative to the UN.
Design
