Commentary

The Sydney Morning Herald's Michael Gebicki praised the magazine in a 1997 article. He wrote, "The usual suspects—arts, culture, dining, festivals, museums, sports and shopping—are canvassed in a colourful and concise format which offers some imaginative suggestions for travellers. The section on Taiwanese food is particularly illuminating, and illustrated with scrumptious photos."[10]
