Two tales of unexpected encounters in apparently deserted places. Matthew Teller's been out tracking wolves in the Scandinavian forest, near Skinnskatteberg in central Sweden, and learning why even nature-lovers are ambivalent about the packs' return to old territories. These days Swedish hunters are more likely to bag a moose, as wolf hunting's legally suspended - but the arguments about making wolves welcome still have rural and urban, not to mention rich and poor, Swedes howling at each other.

Half a world away, Stephanie Hegarty takes a taxi through the grand, glittering, but almost empty streets of Naypyidaw, the official capital of Burma. There are plenty of surprises - from the surfeit of drivers (two per vehicle) to a distinct absence of the military men she expected to find on every corner.
