EDITOR’S LETTER
SOME LIKE IT HOT In Hong Kong we whine about the heat and humidity all the time, so this issue, smack bang in the middle of hot and sweaty August, we’re turning up the thermostat at The List and celebrating all things to do with the sizzling summer. Some of you may consider summer to be prime barbecue season, and we’ve got tips and tricks (p.26) to make it stress-free (and sweat-free) if you’re firing up the grill this month in Hong Kong. Looking for other ways to turn up the heat? How about in the bedroom with these lingerie and sex shops (p.32)? We’ve also got our top picks
of water sport centers (p.30) and pools (p.36) if you’re looking to splash away this summer, and for those who prefer the cold blast of air con as you delve into some indoor hobbies, we’ve got a whole host of crafty ideas (p.40) suited for kids and adults alike. This month also marks my last issue of The List as editor as I move on to new projects—it’s been a fantastic year of learning for me, and for this opportunity I am forever grateful. Fear not, The List is in great hands: your new editor Leslie Yeh will be taking care of The Magazine That Knows starting from September.
Yours,
