Sometimes it has some very interesting articles but sometimes it's so pompous it's unreal, like it was made purely for hipsters with money. It has an unhealthy obsession with all things Japanese and as a result everything Japanese is somehow better. That liveable city list really irritates me, I haven't spent a huge amount of time in Tokyo but how you can rate it as the top is just laughable.

Yet it does write about things which don't see in mainstream media anymore, just needs to takes itself a bit less seriously IMHO.

it's just recycled garbage about how they would design a hypothetical artisanal cold brew cafe in helsinki/oslo/geneva/singapore and how NRT's airport planning compares to HKG
