It’s possible that you travel to Hong Kong a lot. Maybe you travel for business or maybe you use it to stock up on chocolate, deodorant or other hard-to-find items.
Possibly you feel as if you have done all the touristy things there by now. You’ve been to the Avenue of Stars, the Temple Street Night markets of Tsim Sha Tsui, 
Niko Brauer
This month we decided to visit the recently built Alcanta International College. There has been a lot of buzz about this place and although they only have 12 students so far, they are confident that a lot more will follow. After taking a tour we can see why, just walking around the vicinity made my colleague and I nostalgic of school days back home; at one point I practically had to pry the sign up sheet from my colleague’s hand.
Nanhai Film City – An Actor’s Tale
Most have heard or dreamed of the movie glamour famous actors receive after their blockbuster hit. Some are jaded enough to know that those dreams aren’t exactly real, or at least come with some consequence. But few know exactly what goes on during a movie shoot, so I set out to discover the truth. I took a visit down to Nanhai Film City, which is located in the backwoods of Foshan, and sat down with an actor-friend of mine who happened to be shooting a movie trailer there at the time. (You can take the No. 2 travel bus from the Zumiao Metro Station and ride until you see a giant replica of a castle wall.)
The Philippines: Getting Festive Early this year!
The festive season is many things. To start with, there is shopping, and purchasing presents.

The Veggie Fight

The Guangzhou Hotlist with Karla
Check out the world’s tallest viewing tower, in Guangzhou! The tower, which is called “488 look out” opened on December the 17th. What better way to spend the New Year! But, it will cost you 150RMB to enter the Guangzhou tower and an additional 130RMB to gain access to the “488 Look Out”. If this sounds pretty steep, don’t worry, for a limited time only tickets sets can be purchased for 198RMB…
