Kowloon Walled City, an area of Hong Kong that was razed over ten years ago. Extremely dense and almost phantasmagorical in its structure: stories of its lawlessness and lack of sunlight—even in the daytime—can be found all over the internet. Less available, however, are videos and photos of what it was like inside. This is one of those places whose fascination lies in just how difficult they are to envision and imagine. Locations such as these never fail to remind you of just how many people there are in the world, and how so many of them live lives that are completely different from your own.

Even in a globalized community, some areas will still remain utterly remote—if not physically, then in some other capacity.

In my ideal life, I nonchalantly arrange pear slices, gorgonzola crumbles, and drizzled honey for a light snack.

In real life, it’s more like jetting across the street to the deli for a Larabar. Actually, if they made pear-gorgonzola-honey Larabars, I would probably eat that. COME ON IT WOULD BE YUMMY.

My question to you is this: why aren’t you listening to The Very Best yet? I rarely hear a song these days and am inspired to buy the entire album, but every track from this is just euphoric.
