South Korea's first lady, Kim Keon-hee, visited the renowned Lithuanian luxury clothing boutique 'Du Broliai' during President Yoon Suk Yeol's trip to Vilnius for the NATO summit. The boutique offers high-end brands like Prada, Gucci, and Valentino. Kim arrived at the store with a group of 16 people, including assistants and security guards. The boutique's manager expressed appreciation for her visit, mentioning that important figures often stop by after major events. While the amount spent and items purchased remain undisclosed, South Korean delegates were also seen visiting the shop the following day. The first lady's shopping received mixed reactions in South Korea due to ongoing heavy rains and resulting disasters in the country.

The mayor of Erd (Laszlo Csozik), a town in Hungary, has implemented a ban on new construction projects due to concerns about the city's infrastructure and population growth. The ban, announced in a Facebook post, means that no new construction permits will be given until new building regulations are adopted. The mayor cites issues with the water supply, transportation, and a lack of nursery and kindergarten places as reasons for the ban. Erd's population has nearly doubled since the 1980s, while Hungary's national population has declined. Reactions to the ban have been mixed, with some supporting the goal of slowing development but finding the measure too drastic. Locals have raised concerns about gridlocked streets and the impact on their jobs and lives. The mayor has promised to find a solution for those affected by the ban. Other towns near Budapest are also considering similar bans in response to illegal construction projects by unethical developers.

Osakikamijima, a small island off the coast of Hiroshima Prefecture in Japan, is actively promoting inbound migration and akiya (abandoned houses) purchases. The island has attracted more foreign residents after establishing itself as an 'education island' by opening an international school and a small university. Welshman Simon Whalley and his wife Kaori purchased an akiya on the island when Simon landed a job at the local international school. Their $25,000 home, built in the 1970s, required minimal renovations. They are currently working on maintaining the 1.5-acre plot of land that accompanies their property. The couple hopes their efforts will boost tourism on the island and plans to convert an old mikan storage facility into a vegan-friendly Airbnb. Jason Lawrence, a New Zealander, moved to Osakikamijima in 2021 with his wife and children. They were attracted to the island's relaxed pace of life and strong education infrastructure. While initially considering an akiya, they decided to purchase a plot of land instead. Lawrence believes that more white-collar workers are seeking a rural lifestyle and escaping the urban rat race. Overall, Osakikamijima's efforts to attract newcomers and revitalize akiya properties have garnered interest from foreign residents looking for a change of pace and a self-sufficient lifestyle.
