For a city whose modern history began only a little over 150 years ago, Hong Kong is home to an abundance of beautiful architecture.

From Victorian private members’ clubs to Hong Kong’s old international airport, here’s a look at some of the marvellous structures we’ve lost along the way.  RECOMMENDED: Luckily, Hong Kong still has plenty of old buildings and structures that have stood the test of time.

The best omakase diners in Sydney right now

The best omakase diners in Sydney right now

Meaning “I’ll leave it to you”, omakase experiences are not new to Australian shores, with eateries like Chaco Bar delighting visitors since 2014. However, this theatrical style of dining has finally entered the mainstream with new omakases seemingly opening weekly in Sydney. Usually ranging from five to 20 courses, omakase-style dining is a once-in-a-while way for foodies to indulge. If you’re on the hunt for a truly special eating experience, omakase is the thing for you – who needs dinner and a show when dinner is the show? However, with the maximum number of punters per sitting usually remaining in the single digits, omakases will often have very long waitlists, and some only release reservations once a month, so you’ll need to have some lightning reflexes when a spot becomes available. So you know where to look, we’ve rounded up the best omakase diners in Sydney. On your marks, get set, book!  The fresh fish and umami flavours don't stop here. Check out our guide to the best Japanese restaurants in Sydney.

A curfew for cats? To protect endangered wildlife, the environment minister is consulting the public

A curfew for cats? To protect endangered wildlife, the environment minister is consulting the public

As federal environment minister Tanya Plibersek announced the addition of more than 40 new animals and plants to Australia’s list of threatened wildlife, she called for urgent measures to be implemented around cats, especially feral cats. Feral cats kill about 2 billion animals per year, so the federal government has drafted a proposal to tackle the feral cat problem, which has this month been released for public consultation. However, it's not only feral felines facing regulations. Domestic pet cats also contribute to the killing of native wildlife. There are about 5.3 million pet cats in Australia, and they're estimated to kill 546 million animals per year (including 323 million native animals), according to recent research by the Australian National University conducted for the Biodiversity Council, Invasive Species Council and Birdlife Australia. An estimated 71 per cent of all pet cats in Australia roam – and 78 per cent of these roaming cats hunt, according to the Invasive Species Council. Most of the wildlife that these cats kill (about 85 per cent) isn't brought home, so often pet owners aren't aware of the problem. Professor Sarah Legge of the Australian National University explains that domestic cats have impacts on native wildlife in a variety of ways: not only do they hunt, but non-desexed pet cats contribute to feral cat populations when they produce unwanted litters, and domestic cats can of course become feral cats. Australia has lost more native mammal spec

22 ways to not be a knob in Sydney

22 ways to not be a knob in Sydney

1. Don't complain about how getting to North Sydney or Parramatta is too hard and can’t your mates just meet you in the city? There's a train for that and it's quite easy. 2. Stop moving in next door to live music venues and complaining about the noise. 3. Get to the front of the line at the Gelato Messina HQ, Malibu sandwich shop or Oti' pizza absolutely ready to order, no one likes a flavour waffler.  4. Pushing your way onto a train, tram or bus without waiting for people to disembark should be a punishable offence. 5. Save your car horn for its purpose, not because the car in front of you can't hear you going "tsk" with your mouth. 6. Jog in the bike lane at Centennial Park by all means, but prepare to share, don't barge. 7. Attending a yoga class and leaving your phone on vibrate is pretty up there, especially if you let your Instagram stories play through so you can view them while you downward dog, ya dog.  8. If you're going to walk three-abreast, slowly, in the city, at lunchtime or right after work, expect some huffing and puffing behind you and move out of the way for the speed walkers. 9. Don't boast about how you'd never head north over the Bridge, despite the fact you'd willingly spend over an hour in traffic getting to Watsons Bay. 10. Swim fast if you're going to use one of the fast lanes at Prince Alfred Park Pool. Use the free play lane and flop about all you want.  11. If you eat at a food court, pick up your rubbish and put it in the bins. 12. Embrace t

Switzerland has been named the “world’s best country,” again

Switzerland has been named the “world’s best country,” again

If you’re living in and loving Switzerland and thinking “This country is just… the best” then you’re not alone. Switzerland has just been given the rather grand title of ‘best country in the world’ after topping the annual Best Countries list for the second year running. The report (a joint project by news platform U.S. News & World Report, marketing company WPP and a business school from the University of Pennsylvania) analyses 87 countries across 73 factors, surveying over 17,000 people to determine a country’s score, including quality of life, power and entrepreneurship. It’s the sixth time Switzerland has taken the title, which is no mean feat. Canada took second place, with Sweden, Australia and the U. S. taking third, fourth and fifth, respectively. The UK managed a respectable ninth. Economic stability (including dodging some of the worst inflation rises that have battered the rest of Europe) and high quality of education were two of the reasons given for Switzerland’s table-topping. The country also scored highly in the ‘entrepreneurship’ category.  “People love our country without always knowing why,” Jacques Pitteloud, Swiss Ambassador to the U.S., told U.S. News & World Report, explaining that “what people love about us is our reliability and our predictability.” Interestingly, although Switzerland’s GDP only measured a measly 808 billion US Dollars (a drop in the ocean compared to Canada’s $2.14 trillion, the USA’s $25.5 trillion and various other big-hitting coun

Get to know Schwingen and Swiss wrestling shorts at an interactive exhibition

Get to know Schwingen and Swiss wrestling shorts at an interactive exhibition

Forget the overblown silliness of WWE – did you know that Switzerland has its own centuries-old wrestling heritage? It’s called Schwingen, it’s hugely popular across the country and a key component of the sport is, in fact, the shorts that competitors wear, as a new exhibition at Ballenberg Swiss Open-Air Museum demonstrates. These Swiss wrestling shorts allow competitors to grab, grapple with and throw their opponent, meaning they need to be incredibly strong. You can find out just how strong at Ballenberg’s ‘yanking upwards’ station, allowing visitors to grab and yank a pair of shorts for themselves to test the durability. Photograph: © Ballenberg, Swiss Open-Air Museum But there’s far more to the exhibition – brilliantly named ‘Who Wears the Trousers?’ – than just short-yanking. Ballenberg’s curators have used Swiss wrestling shorts as a springboard to delve into the rich history, traditions and crafts that have built and evolved the sport. Aside from the wrestlers themselves, a huge range of people are involved in making Schwingen what it is, such as the artisans who build the trophies and the many musicians who’ve soundtracked the public events over the centuries. ‘Who Wears the Trousers?’ tells their stories as well. Many of the exhibits are gifts from the collection of a family who know Swiss wrestling perhaps better than anyone: two-time Swiss Wrestling Champion Karl Meli and his daughter Irène, also a wrestler. But don’t think for a moment that you need to know abo

Legendary Time Out comedy editor Malcolm Hay has passed away aged 82

Legendary Time Out comedy editor Malcolm Hay has passed away aged 82

We are sorry to announce that Time Out’s hugely influential former comedy editor Malcolm Hay has passed away, aged 82. According to his stepson Tim Arthur – who took over the comedy editor role from him – he passed away peacefully in his sleep surrounded by family. Best known as a successful theatre writer prior to working for Time Out, as comedy editor he was hugely respected by the young comics of the nascent alternative comedy scene, many of whom saw the slightly older Hay as a mentor as much as a journalist. In his 21 years at the helm of the Time Out comedy section, from 1986 to 2007, he was renowned for being supportive and caring: not just a fan of the comedy but a friend and supporter of the people performing it. Time Out’s old comedy editor has died, Malcolm Hay. He was an absolute cornerstone of the scene. More than one or two of us owe a debt of gratitude to him. He was kind. Properly kind. He wanted people to succeed and he was rarely without a smile. A rare trait for a comedy critic. — Mark Thomas (@markthomasinfo) September 7, 2023 Very sad to hear of Malcolm Hay’s passing. He was a huge supporter of stand up comedy, massively important to the London circuit and a properly nice bloke — Mx Wil Hodgson 🏳️‍⚧️ (@WilHodgson) September 7, 2023 In the pre-internet age, when Time Out was at heart a listings magazine, Malcolm’s detailed pages were the backbone of the London comedy scene, being pretty much the only way you could fi

タイムアウトマーケットが中東・バーレーンへの出店を発表

「タイムアウトマーケット」についてはすでに知っていて、リスボンやニューヨーク、シカゴ、ボストン、モントリオール、ドバイにあるマーケットに立ち寄ったことがある人も多いと思う。あるいはケープタウン、バルセロナ、大阪、バンクーバーなどで計画されている新しいマーケットのオープンを待ち望む人もいるだろう。 2023年9月5日、そうしたタイムアウトマーケットが出店する場所のリストに、新たな1行が加わることになった。それは、中東のバーレーン。首都であるマナーマの「シティセンターバーレーン」に、新しく「タイムアウトマーケット バーレーン」をオープンする計画が発表された。 タイムアウトマーケット バーレーンのオープンは2024年後半の予定。11のキッチン、デザートカウンター、コーヒーショップ、2つのバーを通して、バーレーンの多様なフードシーンの「ベスト」を提供し、アートやパフォーマンスのための専用スペースでは地元の文化も紹介していく。 マーケット空間は屋上を含む2階建てで、3万5000平方フィート(約3252平方メートル)の広さを誇る。収容人数は相席で最大900人。訪れた人たちはテーブルを囲みながら、バーレーン全土からタイムアウトのキュレーションにより集められた最高の料理と文化を発見することができる。 タイムアウトマーケットは世界中で展開されているが、どのマーケットも拠点なる都市のベストアトラクションの一つとしてしっかりと根付いている。すでに営業しているドバイに加え、中東では今回発表されたバーレーンのほか、アブダビとリヤドでもオープンを予定。これは、湾岸諸国のホスピタリティーシーンが拡大し続けていることの証といえるだろう。 関連記事 『Another city is joining the Time Out Market family(原文)』 『アジア初進出、世界で話題のタイムアウトマーケットが大阪に上陸』 『タイムアウトマーケットについて知るべき5のこと』 『タイムアウトマーケットがバルセロナに出店』 『タイムアウトマーケット、サウジアラビアへの出店計画を発表』 『タイムアウトマーケット、南ア・ケープタウンに2023年末オープン』 東京の最新情報をタイムアウト東京のメールマガジンでチェックしよう。登録はこちら  

5 sustainable hotels for a weekend break

5 sustainable hotels for a weekend break

Taking a weekend break should be just that – a break from the stresses and strains of everyday life, and the chance to relax. But just because you’re switching off for a few days doesn’t mean you have to switch off from doing your bit for the environment. Thankfully, when the natural world is treasured as much as it is in Switzerland, it’s never hard to find a hotel that values sustainability as highly as you do. In fact, the country houses a huge number of venues that operate with a thoroughly eco-conscious approach, while still offering superb amenities and the chance for guests to kick back and enjoy themselves. Here are a few environmentally aware favourites from around Switzerland that make for a perfect weekend break. Photograph: © Switzerland Tourism/Giglio Pasqua Schloss Wartegg, RorschacherbergBeing surrounded by acres of green land and thick forests doesn’t just give this 16th-century hotel a premium setting for guests to appreciate, it also provides the ideal location for the hotel kitchen to grow its own ingredients. Schloss Wartegg’s castle garden is where these ingredients are nurtured, and you can taste the results for yourself in the hotel’s meticulously run restaurant – grab an outdoor table on the terrace during warmer months. Elsewhere, measures include natural building materials, a small hydro power station that produces some of the venue’s energy, 100% green electricity throughout, and a minimal waste policy that ensures composting of kitchen and garden

「東京ディズニーシー」の新エリア「ファンタジースプリングス(Fantasy Springs)」が2024年春、誕生する。映画「アナと雪の女王」と「塔の上のラプンツェル」「ピーター・パン」をテーマに展開し、レストランや乗り物などのアトラクションをオープン。新エリアの開業に当たり敷地が大幅に拡張され、総開発面積は約14万平方メートルに及ぶ予定だ。 エリアは「アナと雪の女王」をテーマとした「フローズンキングダム」と、「塔の上のラプンツェル」がテーマの「ラプンツェルの森」、「ピーター・パン」がテーマの「ピーターパンのネバーランド」、そして国内6番目のディズニーホテル「東京ディズニーシー・ファンタジースプリングスホテル」で構成。 新エリアへは「アラビアンコースト」と「ロストリバーデルタ」の間にできる通路から進むことになる予定だ。 ©️Disney|夜の「フローズンキングダム」 アナと雪の女王を舞台とするフローズンキングダムでは、映画の終盤、雪の女王であるエルサが氷の魔法を受け入れた後の世界を再現。新アトラクション「アナとエルサのフローズンジャーニー」では、ストーリーをボートに乗ってたどることができる。エリアを象徴するアレンデール城の中には、レストランが入居し、ランチやディナーが楽しめる。 ©️Disney|「ラプンツェルの森」 「塔の上のラプンツェル」内に誕生する水流ライドタイプのアトラクション「ラプンツェルのランタンフェスティバル」では、ラプンツェルと一緒に映画の中で描かれたランタンフェスティバルまでの道のりを体感。名曲とともに、多くのランタンに包まれながらロマンチックなフィナーレを体験することができるという。 そのほか、愉快な荒くれ者たちの隠れ家をイメージしたレストラン「スナグリーダックリング」もオープンする。  ©️Disney|「ピーターパンのネバーランド」 「ピーター・パン」のエリアには、2つのアトラクションを設置。ティンカーベルと妖精たちが住むピクシー・ホロウを訪れるキュートなアトラクション「フェアリー・ティンカーベルのビジーバギー」と、音楽や3Dの映像で構成した大型アトラクション「ピーターパンのネバーランドアドベンチャー」が導入される予定だ。 レストラン「ルックアウト・クックアウト」では、ネバーランドの幻想的な景色を眺めながら食事ができる。 ©️Disney|東京ディズニーシー・ファンタジースプリングスホテル 国内6番目のディズニーホテル「東京ディズニーシー・ ファンタジースプリングスホテル」は、テーマでもある「魔法の泉」を囲うように建つ。ホテルは動植物や魔法の泉がモチーフの客室があるデラックスタイプ「ファンタジーシャトー」と、東京ディズニーリゾートで最上級の宿泊体験ができるラグジュアリータイプ「グランドシャトー」の2棟で構成。 ホテルの客室からは新エリア全体を眺めることができ、パーク内に身を置くことでディズニーの世界に住んでいるかのような特別な経験ができる。 2024年のオープンまでまだ時間があるが、それまでの間は3作品をもう一度鑑賞しておくといいかもしれない。 関連記事 『リアルな没入感が好評に、ディズニー映画を映像と音で楽しむイベントが六本木で開催中』 『東京ディズニーリゾートが10月からチケット値上げへ』 『東京ディズニーリゾートが「ディズニー・ファストパス」に変わる新サービスを導入』 『ハリポタの世界に旅へ、テーマパークについて現在分かっていること』 『「魔女の宅急

Our foolproof guide to Splendour in the Grass 2023

Our foolproof guide to Splendour in the Grass 2023

With a collective ten Splendours under our belts, the Time Out team knows a thing or two about how to party in the grass. You can read all about this year's rocking line-up here. And below is our foolproof guide for being your best Splendour-self. Bring gumboots and pack an extra coat No one needs to be reminded about last year’s weather at Splendour *shudders*. And thankfully, La Niña is officially over. But, even if the weather is forecast for 25° and sunny, the days might be toasty but the nights can be chilly. Come prepared.  Shower off-peak The queues between 6.30 and 9.30am are bound to be an absolute nightmare. Shower in the middle of the day or super late at night to avoid waiting in the mud, or ditch it all together – but don’t forget deodorant, wipes and dry shampoo. They’re gonna be your new best friends. Get involved with what else Splendour has to offer As well as an awesome line-up, there is a stack of fun, interesting and cool experiences to be had at this year’s Splendour. Get your mind blown at the Science Tent; belly laugh at the Comedy Club; listen to thought-provoking talks and panels the Forum; and start your morning with yoga and have your tarot card read at the Global Village. Plus, this year’s festival also introduces Forum Live Podcasts. Some of the country’s most popular podcasters – including the crew from the Betoota Advocate – will record their programs live in front of everyone. You can check out all the experiences here.
