| Ancient Crossroads, Modern Getaway |
Tokyo may be a remarkably pleasant place for a city of 12 million people, but the daily grind of life in the city invariably is enough to try the patience of even its most devoted citizens, as is evident in the annual mass exodus during the spring Golden Week holiday.… |

Miss Potter—Renee Zellweger continues to perfect her English accent as Beatrix Potter. With Ewan McGregor (who else?!) and Emily Watson. Surprisingly good. The Good German—Steven Soderbergh and George Clooney’s love-in continues. This time in an experimental homage to film noir. Worth a look.

| Movie Review - Vantage Point |
Vantage Point, directed by Pete Travis, tells the story of an assassination attempt on a US President from the viewpoint of various people involved.

| Movie Review - The Golden Compass |
Any children’s books dealing with Satan, loss of sexual innocence and the death of God are bound to encounter some controversy. Phillip Pullman’s astounding trilogy, His Dark Materials, is loved by a generation of young readers and hated by the kind of Christian who enjoys a book bonfire. Filming these… |

| Thai Time For Family Fun |
Thailand could possibly be one of the most family-friendly countries to visit in the world. Families who have already taken a trip to the clichéd (but true) ‘Land of Smiles’, will be familiar with the word ‘Narag’, meaning cute. This is usually cooed from a trail of Thai women who… |

In today’s globalized, telecommunications-driven world, nothing serves better to highlight the extent of a product or service’s penetration in society than a good, old-fashioned breakdown. A 15-minute blackout at the headquarters of the internet search giant Google, in May of 2005, left millions stranded in cyberspace and prompted global fears… |

| A Table for Thai in Tokyo Mai-Thai |
While the waiter informed me when I made a telephone reservation, that there wasn’t a no-smoking area at Mai-Thai, he didn’t tell me that the smoking Thai restaurant was actually a chain-smoking restaurant with apparently no ventilation and windows that appear to be glued shut. Unfortunately instead of the aroma… |

| Thai Property as an Investment |
Thailand has a romantic heritage that beguiles visitors: from the razzle-dazzle of Bangkok, to the floating markets and silk emporiums. Picture white-sand beaches, swaying coconut palms, and an evening chorus of cicadas. Rising from jade and turquoise waters are myriad islands girdled by coral gardens and bizarre limestone outcrops smothered… |
