Surely walking in northern Portugal in February was asking for trouble? As it turned out, I couldn’t have been more wrong. We had the trails in Peneda-Geres National Park almost to ourselves. When we stopped at restaurants to eat, there was always a table immediately available and it was quiet enough that the owners would welcome us in personally. Sometimes they’d even sit…

Pa Jit restaurant in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, has turned a flood into a unique dining experience. Eleven days after the Tha Chin River breached its banks, fish now swim among diners’ feet, drawing crowds eager to watch and photograph the spectacle.

He praised the recent victory of the Democratic Socialist mayor-elect of New York, Zohran Mamdani, who he said was addressing people’s everyday concerns, in contrast to politicians of both the center-left and center-right. Mamdani, who last week surged to victory after defeating both Democratic rival Andrew Cuomo and Republican contender Curtis Sliwa, ran a strikingly effective media campaign centered on the city’s spiraling cost of living. His platform included promises to provide free bus travel, state-owned supermarkets and rent-controlled apartments. Stiglitz, who described himself as “very market friendly,” nonetheless said he thought the left-wing mayor had opened up space for…
