I mean it's interesting, but leave it to an American media outlet to call a 15-minute walk a "long walk." Fifteen minutes?! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/w...

TIL that Day of the Dead isn't celebrated in every part of Mexico and there was never a big DoD celebration in Mexico City until the 2015 James Bond film Spectre was shot there. The parade organized for the movie shoot - as well as the movie itself - was so popular, it started an annual tradition.

📚 "Arvo Pärt in Conversation" If you've ever been moved by "Spiegel im Spiegel" or "Tabula Rasa," this intimate look at Pärt's creative process and philosophy is essential reading. Sometimes the most profound art comes from the simplest ideas. 🎼

Awwww she was one of the first people I knew when I first arrived in Shanghai in 1998, in my mid-twenties, and ready to join her battle to preserve the historic parts of the city. Her book is still one my favourites when I want to recall how much the city's changed. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/w...
