Singapore
April 29, 2005
Dear Readers,
Ever since I became Editor-in-Chief of the
Asian Reader’s Digest six months ago, I’ve been dying to share some exciting
news with you. After being based in Australia for almost a decade, our
editorial office has moved to Singapore, bringing it back to Asia in these
exciting and important times.
Over the coming
months you’ll see the difference our move makes in a hundred little ways. We’ll
still deliver the window on the world you’ve come to expect, but being in the
heart of Asia will allow us to make our local content more … well … local. The
magazine will continue to be an engaging mix of inspirational and informative stories,
but the local stories will be more chicken rice than spaghetti and meatballs.
Starting with this
month’s poll on the things that irritate us – we traveled all the way to
Shanghai to get a truly pan-Asia view point – we plan to put more Asian voices
into the magazine in 2007. My personal new year’s resolution is to meet as many
of you, our readers, as possible this year to hear what type of magazine you’d
like to see each month.
Reader’s Digest is
all about the basic things that make us human – our thirst of knowledge, our
emotions, our desire to make a better life for ourselves and our loved ones. I
am excited about being able to bring all these things and more home to you each
month; to help you rediscover the joys of life in Asia.
Sincerely yours,
Hans
Editor in Chief

The Legend of Minos, King of Crete

very famous king, named the King of Crete. He had a monster, which was half
