The much-anticipated 2010 WGC-HSBC Champions tournament will take place at the Sheshan International Golf Club from Nov 4-7 with the strongest field of champions ever seen in Asia. Seven of the world's top 10 and 20 of the world's top 30 players will compete for the "champion of champions" title.
1. What's new about this year's HSBC Champions tournament? Can you give us some examples?
The privileged association between Rolex and golf dates back to 1967, when Arnold Palmer became a Rolex Testimonee. The charismatic American is widely regarded as a golf legend thanks to his natural talent, his many victories on the course, his personality and his pioneering role in the history of the sport. He was crucial to popularizing golf and giving it worldwide recognition.
Much of the Iguazu Falls straddles the borders of Argentina and Brazil in a spreading system that is made up of 275 cascades along 2.7 kilometers of the Iguazu River. The most impressive waters can be viewed at Devil's Throat (Garganta del Diablo) ?82 meters high, 150 meters wide and 700 meters long. After flying two hours from Buenos Aires, we land at a tiny airport surrounded by jungle. Undaunted, we are all prepared to explore the Iguazu Falls, already shortlisted for the New Seven Wonders of the World.
A trip to Phuket was waiting to happen. But when I did get the opportunity to visit this spring, it suddenly didn't seem like a good time to visit Thailand. The Red Shirts had been protesting against the government in Bangkok for more than a week and one of their leaders had been shot dead. Bangkok was under siege and the city was under partial curfew. Still, the draw of Phuket was too much to resist.
The Expo 2010 Shanghai has impressed me with its efforts to promote a low-carbon lifestyle aimed at furnishing us with a "Better City, Better Life" at a lower cost.
The Shanghai Institute of Foreign Trade (SIFT) celebrated its 50th anniversary on Oct 16 after half a century of molding the country's top talents in the realm of foreign trade.
Going back home to Yunnan always brightens my day, literally. In our garden in Kunming, the sun seems to shine brighter, the air is crisp and clear, the birds sing louder, the flowers smell better and even the sky looks a lot more blue. Or perhaps it's just such a contrast with the hazy days of Beijing. Yunnan is China's natural garden -full of greenery, color and the most amazing flora and fungi. Almost three-quarters of all known edible mushrooms are found in Yunnan, and it is a treasure trove of many of the precious roots and herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine. But did you know that almost half of China's major exports in cut and fresh flowers come from Yunnan?
Before I visited the Expo Garden, I had been to several European countries, as well as many cities inside the United Kingdom, so I saw the Expo as an opportunity to compare Europe with other countries and continents.
