  • Thai Boxing | Andrew Mueller | Thailand | Bangkok Region | Bangkok
    As a shrine to a national sporting heritage, Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium is an initially unprepossessing venue. Secreted amid a neighbourhood as noisy, chaotic, crowded and filthy as pretty much every other neighbourhood in Bangkok, the tin-roofed...

  • Midland | Andrew Mueller | United States | Texas | Midland
    The city's founders called it Midland because it was halfway along the rail line between El Paso and Forth Worth. You get the impression that they thought this part of West Texas would never amount to much - they couldn't even be bothered to name it...

  • Peshawar | Andrew Mueller | Pakistan | North West Frontier | Peshawar
    It doesn't take long to decide that Peshawar is going to be worth the long, uncomfortable and agonisingly slow train ride up from Rawalpindi. When I wander out of the station and ask someone who looks like they're in charge about a taxi, they...

  • I'm the Turban Spaceman, Baby - an extract from 'Rock & Hard Places' | Andrew Mueller | Afghanistan | Kabul Region | Kabul
    Across the border, I change some US dollars for Afghanis, the local currency. The Afghani is not one of the greats - children in low-slung hessian tents by the roadside sell it pretty much by weight, exchanging an inch-thick wad of purple 5000-...

    Opposite the church marking the site of the Nativity, a building flies a huge poster of man infamous, in some circles, as a terrorist. Although the modern brick block wearing this vast portrait of the late Yasser Arafat presides over the square of a...

    Bilderberg Jan Luyken | Andrew Mueller
    The fortuitous setting of the Bilderberg Jan Luyken means that it overcomes the usual annoying paradox of hotels in major cities: the ones close to everything are too noisy, and the ones quiet enough to permit sleep are miles from anywhere. The...

  • Les Suites Taipei - Da-An | Andrew Mueller
    Les Suites Da-An's self-declared mission is to replicate the executive floors of a five-star luxury hotel without the rest of the hotel - there is no restaurant, or gymnasium, or shop, just a simple, quiet, efficient, and extremely comfortable...

  • Corinthia Bab Tripoli | Andrew Mueller
    The Corinthia Bab Africa is unmissable, one of the tallest, widest and grandest buildings in Tripoli. Only a few years old, and perched in a brilliant location, overlooking the Mediterranean yet a short walk from Green Square, it towers over the...

  • Bryant Park Hotel | Andrew Mueller
    The Bryant Park Hotel in Manhattan, New York is a best-of-both-worlds proposition. On the outside, it's a minor masterpiece of 1920s architecture, a commanding gothic presence wrought from black and gold brick. On the inside of this luxury hotel,...
