Friday's Five 🖐🏼 #94
Happy Friday's Five,
Hello from the train going from Berlin to Sylt–it's the first time I'm visiting this vacation island in the North-West of Germany, I'm going to a wedding followed by a week of slow travel with stops in Copenhagen, Småland in Sweden, and the Stockholm archipelago.
What I'm reading
What I Loved by Siri Hustvedt
If you're into memoirs, The New York Times just published a list of 50 best memoirs.
What I'm listening to
What I'm watching
Fleabag Season 1 & 2 – often mentioned in the same sentence as Catastrophe, this is another winning (British) tv series and wow. Season 2 is so so so good.
What I'm thinking about
MyTaxi rebranded as 'Free Now' and I just don't get it. This is weak brand work and a missed opportunity to create a strong one-word brand used in everyday language. Compare 'Let's take an Uber' with 'Let's take a Free Now'.
What else?!
Monocle has announced the restaurants they deem the best in the world right now. You can find the list of top 5 here (I've been to Appia in Bangkok) and the full list in the current edition of the Monocle magazine.
Have a great weekend, thanks for reading!
David
