Most locals can’t hear from his accent that Olli is an Englishman in Beijing.  Whatever the nationality with which he contends, his approach has been to suffer ignorance and silliness with a smile.  After editing The Beijinger for a couple years, Olli just left Beijing for Jakarta. As a long-term supporter of Stylites, he will be missed here.

He is wearing a casual autumn ensemble that any guy can achieve. A tweed jacket, wool cardigan, Italian leather shoes is a bare minimum for looking good. Sadly, this kind of simple, well put together, look is more the exception than the rule.
