Summary

Mostly in Economy Class continues the ups and downs of flights and sights in Europe revealed in—and reveled in—Sometimes in Business Class, but this time in Asia—where adventure, surprise and wonder are around every corner, in  incidents and events from the apparently trivial to the exotic to the erotic.

 


 
Mostly in Economy Class begins with an adventure in China in the early 1980s that may or may not have ended in a dangerous escape to the west; the reader must decide. After the secret world of China, the tales move on to Thailand before and after its temples were overrun by tourists; two faces of Japan in the 1980s; Angkor Wat, Cambodia at a time when Khmer Rouge guns could be heard in the distance, and later after the guns were silenced; South Korea before it emerged as an economic powerhouse, when the country seemed to be almost in a parallel universe; life and poverty in Bangladesh; footpath etiquette in the quaint French quarter of Hanoi; post-Mcdonald’s China; and more. Read on!

    London Rules - So Get Over It

    We are constantly being told that 1966, the very first iteration of Swinging London, was the time when the city was at its cultural, most fashionable height. And if not 1966, then it's the punk '70s or the Britpop '90s when London was meant to be most fun. Not so, argues GQ's Dylan Jones. Not only is London the greatest, most dynamic and diverse city in the world - it's never been better than it is now.
    Comparison may be the thief of joy, and it might be invidious to square London off against New York, Milan or Paris - which is heavier, a tonne of feathers or a tonne of gold? - but right now there is no other city in the world like it. It is already the greatest city of the twenty-first century, the one true global cultural megalopolis, the one true cocksure city-state, and we need to shout about it from the top of every tall building in town.
