This coming weekend I am very honoured to speak at the Ted×BLCU event in Beijing. This time I will be talking on the subject of how our perceived weaknesses as defined by our teachers and schools are in fact quite often our strengths.

I’ve been following the Beijing based band Reflector for years, pretty much since they started and even back to the old Wu Liao Jun Dui days. This year has been a brilliant year for them, they won 3 big awards most notably The Best Band in China recently. Back in November last year they sat [...]

We now supply Plastered VIP parking right on Nan Luo Gu Xiang for all those people who love to drive up the Hu Tong in their big cars and want close parking right next to our store. This might help alleviate  some of the parking problems on the street and might prevent areas being destroyed [...]
