Say it ain’t so, Hong Kong? Not when I’m going to see you soon? In January, the local government in the Central and Western areas -– which includes the bustling financial district and the popular wine-and-dine areas of Soho and Lan Kwai Fong –- decided to greatly restrict outdoor dining.

“Rather than inspirational, the travel market is now aspirational, meaning readers aspire to do as the writer; to walk along in the Hindu Kush, to find a forgotten house in Provence, to discover the secret, deserted Thai beach. No writer dares to point out that there are no more undiscovered beaches. The world has been mapped.“
