“THROW OUT EVERY EXPECTATION”:<br />
NOVELIST PICO IYER ON THE<br />
MARVELS OF A CRUISE TO<br />
ANTARCTICA<br />
By Jorge Oliver<br />
Siddharth Pico Raghavan Iyer, better known as Pico Iyer, has written more<br />
than a dozen books and his work has been translated into more than 20<br />
languages. Born in Oxford, England to Indian parents, Iyer has travelled nearly<br />
constantly for more than 70% of his life. Yet one place had eluded his vast and<br />
comprehensive list of destinations: Antarctica. Traveling aboard Silver Cloud<br />
in January 2020, Mr. Iyer crossed the White Continent off his list, a destination<br />
that he will not soon cross off his memories.<br />

HIDDEN BALI THROUGH<br />
3 HUMBLE PLATES<br />
By Christopher Dwyer<br />
On the profoundly spiritual island of Bali, one where visitors quickly learn that<br />
food plays a crucial symbolic role in daily life and ceremonies, a day called<br />
Nyepi is particularly special. Otherwise known as the ‘Day of Silence’ for the<br />
largely Hindu population, it demands 24 hours of silence and meditation –<br />
including no internet access – as well as fasting by all able-bodied adults.<br />
Consequently, no food had passed the lips of millions of Balinese for an entire<br />
day, so by the time this visitor arrived and the fast had just been broken, the<br />
island’s glorious culinary kaleidoscope of flavours, colours, textures, aromas<br />
and ingredients were being appreciated even more enthusiastically than usual.<br />
