Back in 2014, a close friend introduced me to a fascinating Google experiment. It involved typing ‘korean men’ into the search bar. “Go on, see what kind of pictures you get,” he prodded.

For a species that prides itself on knowing best when it comes to, well, everything, men are blissfully unaware that they might have been scraping their facial skin with rust.

Fashion is a universal language. Whether you’re roaming in Rome or Havana good time in Cuba for your EOY travels, looking aesthetically appealing is always greatly appreciated (don’t get too shocked when you ge a free upgrade).
