GYM REVIEW

Aurum Fitness, Dubai

"The chilled towels were lukewarm. The trainers were indifferent. I expect better from a self-proclaimed '7-star' facility."

Mama O's Noodle Stall

"Plastic chairs. 40-degree heat. Rats nearby. But the broth? It tastes like history. Absolute perfection."

AIRLINE LOUNGE

Qantas Business Lounge,

Melbourne

"The exit from the Qantas Business Lounge felt less like a premium departure and more like a 'dirty old back stairwell' – I was genuinely surprised I didn't see any junkies hanging out in there. That was the absolute vibe."

HOTEL REVIEW

The Ritz-Carlton, Osaka

"They claim 5-star service, but the concierge didn't know where to get a vintage Leica repaired. Unacceptable for this price point."

"I know what quality looks like, and this isn't it." Mr. Paparazzi
