LIFE
DUST-laced, heat-smudged, sun-fired; that is the Zimbab-wean horizon. Dawn-embraced, addle-sore, lion-loved; that is the African Encounter survivor.
 
Life Style
  • Zin-toxicating
    OENOPHILES, take heart. The latest addition to Shanghai's night scene isn't sticking to lychee martinis and overpriced beer.
  • Vita Stats
    Atmosphere: Downstairs, casual elegance in the traditional dining room, with tables big enough for large parties and small enough for romantic dinners. Upstairs, a bar with R&B performances nightly.
  • Hello, 2005
    THIS New Year has been the coldest in recent memory. The city saw heavy snow (at least by the standards of a city used to years of warm winters) just before New Year's Eve.
  • Confdence building
    SHANGHAI now has its first early-age education centre, which implements a fitness program for children from three months to nine years old in order to develop their physical, cognitive, social and emotional ability.
Fashion
  • EXceptional, eXpresive, eXcitement in X show
    YOUNG, creative and big applause - these were the characteristics that marked the grand graduation show held by LaSalle-DHU International Design College at the Hong Kong New World Tower at the end of last year.
  • Spurs of mystery
    "DO you have fun at Hermes?" This sudden question came from a grandson of Jean-Louis Dumas Hermes, chairman and CEO of Hermes. Caught unprepared, he gave a hollow, grown-up answer: "When I am here I am supposed to be working."
  • Chinese students attend final round in design competition
    FOUR teams from Tsinghua University and Zhejiang University won the L'Oreal Industrial Challenge in China, and will go to Paris to compete with the winners from France at the end of this month.

Travel
  • Mudu on list of water towns
    AMONG the growing number of water towns that entice tourists to the heart of their historic byways, Mudu may not be the biggest or the richest in historic treasures. It is, however, a pleasant destination for day-trippers, especially those who aren't up for the rigours of Suzhou sightseeing.
Feature
  • Australian safety drive
    THE car slammed into the power pole with such force that the vehicle was torn in two, killing the novice driver and his fiancee just days before Christmas and a month before they planned to marry.
  • Turks prepare for million-to-one currency change
    ONE Turkish coffee, medium-sweet? That'll be 2 million lira, please.
  • A walk on the wild side
    DUST-laced, heat-smudged, sun-fired; that is the Zimbab-wean horizon. Dawn-embraced, addle-sore, lion-loved; that is the African Encounter survivor.
