It’s the same feeling as waking up to a quieter Bangkok after New Year’s. Wander around your neighbourhood, take a stab at the slow life, make some vague lists and enjoy that morning cup of coffee. For this week, let’s wait a little longer before we scroll to consume the headlines; whatever’s disrupting our quieter lull days can wait just a tad longer. This year, I intend to practise what I often preach in The Good Life. In the business of news, it is easy to absorb mixed narratives and dismiss headlines as just another day’s work.
