L.A. Affairs: My sons welcomed my new boyfriend. But would he make room for them?

Crime may not pay, but it has historically dominated the Hong Kong box office. Local films exploring the treacherous underworld of triad gangs, criminals and police officers have captivated audiences since the 1970s, when foundational works such as Ng See-yuen’s Anti-Corruption (1975) and Leong Po-chih’s Jumping Ash (1976) ignited the genre. Many Hong Kong crime films have equivocated on moral issues, operating in a grey zone where police can be as bad as the criminals. That was never truer than...

During a Hong Kong workshop on the traditional Chinese diabolo, or Chinese yo-yo, a Korean father was reminded of the paengi, the string-whipped spinning top he played with as a child.

There’s a reason Franck Muller is known as the master of complications; since 1991, the independent Swiss watchmaker has repeatedly been responsible for intensely technical creations that have pushed back the boundaries of horological possibility. But the house is equally noteworthy for its unique blend of traditional Swiss know-how with international retro aesthetic influences, particularly from the US. The Imperium Bloc, introduced in April this year, embodies this legacy with its distinctive...

I started my first trip to Peru in the south at over 2,000 metres above sea level.
