The city that could change the way we travel

In 2001, the South Korean government approached the New York-based firm about developing a city that, by virtue of its proximity to the newly opened airport in Incheon, would attract multinational corporations and potentially turn the region into the world gateway to northeast Asia. ambassador to South Korea when the project began. model was Singapore. the mission of attracting new Western business, Gale has built state-of-the-art, high-tech LEED-certified office buildings, apartments, shops and schools, imported elements from other cities, such as New York Central Park, and wooed http://townwalworthny.com/Christian-Louboutin.php Jack Nicklaus into building one of his iconic golf clubs.

There a lot of Songdo still to be built, but even Red Bottom Shoes as it under continuing construction, there are signs that point to its becoming an important business and residential hub. Last fall, the United Nations selected the city as the home of its new Green Climate Fund agency. Initial estimates expect 500 employees and their families to move to Songdo.

While Songdo status as a sustainable city certainly helped in its successful bid to house the Green Climate Fund, so did its proximity to Incheon International Airport. land at the airport and there a convention center, a http://www.eurocoin-competition.eu/mulberry-outlet-uk.php hotel, a golf http://eurocoin-competition.eu/Red-bottom-shoes.html course, says Lindsay. travelers already live out of conference hotels; now you seeing conference cities. You still go to Seoul if you have leisure time, but this is the hyper-efficient movement of people. This is taking the scale of business travel to the extreme. as destination

If accessibility and efficiency are key to the business traveler, the aerotropolis impact is clear. In some instances, the effect on http://lisakron.com/Christian-Louboutin-Outlet.php leisure travelers is equally, garishly obvious.

Across the bridge from Songdo, Incheon airport is building a massive playland to rival Macau and Las Vegas. The actual airport is already a shopper paradise. It the No. 1 duty-free airport in the world, with $1.53 billion in sales last year, and the halls are lined with 73 high-end stores, including the first Louis Vuitton airport shop.

I wander down the broad, brightly lit halls and study the stores-within-stores. Divided into categories, each massive shop includes several smaller markets inside. The cosmetics store red bottom shoes is packed with counters for L Kiehl and Shiseido. The accessories store includes counters for Furla, London Fog, Burberry, Christian Dior and Chanel. There are floral scents, thick lotions, soft silks, rich leathers, bold colors, classic patterns. It luxury overload for every sense.

Outside the terminal, on the Tory Burch Outlet man-made island where it sits, development is underway on a mega-resort and casino, tory burch outlet a water park, a shopping mall and several hotels. By the end of the decade, this new pleasure carnival will open and connect back to the http://www.projectlocus.org/Cheap-wholesale-MLB-jerseys.html airport by a magnetic levitation train that will make a 33-mile loop around the entire island.

For inner and outer beauty

Chanel's Body Excellence range is aimed at toning and firming the skin. LIFE begins at 40, so the adage goes. By then, the average person is established in one's career and the kids are more independent, therefore there is more "freedom". Dr Marie-Helene Lair: 'Jamu is supposed to be efficient, used with different kinds of treatment.'

However, turning 40 is not a bed of roses http://townwalworthny.com/Christian-Louboutin.php in all aspects. For one thing, skin gets drier and requires more pampering. With that in mind, Chanel has launched their Body Excellence skincare range to tone and firm the skin. The product launch was held in a five-star boutique hotel in Bangkok. The venue itself had been carefully chosen to reflect the philosophy behind the Body Excellence line: that is, beauty has to be both internal and external. For a woman to be beautiful, she must have confidence, and that is achieved by having a firm and well-toned body. Such an alluring body is the result of eating healthily, getting adequate exercise and de-stressing regularly, having sufficient sleep and drinking plenty of water. In addition, one should have a skincare regime to care for and protect the skin against harsh environmental factors and the stress of daily life as well as to treat and prevent the signs of ageing. Chanel's head of scientific communication, Dr Marie-Helene Lair, says that the most accurate indication of one's age is not the face (as one can go for myriad treatments to make one look younger http://www.torontosilverlight.com/tory-burch-outlet asp than one really is) but the skin at the back of the hands. So, this area of the body that is often neglected http://www.eurocoin-competition.eu/mulberry-outlet-uk.php should be pampered as well, along with the face and other parts of the body. The active ingredient in these products is Purple Bengle PFA, believed to have great firming properties. "Purple Bengle PFA works deeply, not merely on the surface. It has long-term action in promoting firmness," said Lair. Purple Bengle is a purple-flowered plant used in jamu (traditional Indonesian medicine). It can grow to a height of 2m but only its rhizomes (horizontal stems found on or just under the surface of the earth) are used for their firming properties. Indonesian women traditionally rub the body with rhizome decoctions for their fact action in firming up slackening tissues. For every stage of a woman's life, there are corresponding skincare rituals - using massages and plant-based preparations - that help her stay energetic and healthy. "Jamu is supposed to be efficient, used with different kinds of treatment, for each main phase of a woman's life: puberty, wedding, when one has babies, and the menopause. It helps women to stay healthy in these stages, so it's complete. "It was the medicine of princesses Red bottom shoes in Java. It was the drink of beauty for these women. It's, therefore, a paradigm to be followed. "When you drink Purple Bengle beverages and do massage with Purple Bengle decoctions, which come from holistic medicine, it is for beauty inside and outside," said Lair. Purple Bengle is rich in Purpenolids (molecules that stimulate skin firmness) which are obtained from the plant's rhizome, using cutting-edge technology called poly-fractioning. (PFA stands for Polyfractioning of Active ingredients, and allows for the creation of ultra-pure cosmetic active ingredients.) "Anti-oxidant properties are linked to the rhizomes of Purple Bengle whose flesh is a vivid orange. Anti-oxidant molecules always come in a lot of colours. The more you eat different coloured vegetables, the more anti-oxidant properties (you get). In the rhizomes, these anti-oxidant molecules are so concentrated," said Lair. The Firming and Rejuvenating Cream felt rich and silky and had a lovely scent (of Wild Rose, Lily of the Valley and Jasmine). This anti-ageing product should be applied on areas of the body that lack firmness, such as the arms, thighs, stomach, insides of knees and buttocks. The Firming Moisture Milk had a lighter texture than the cream and a delicate fragrance (of Seinga and Wild Rose). My favourite was the Revitalizing Smoothing Scrub, whose fragrance was exquisite. After applying the scrub and massaging my body, the masseuse asked me to shower before the next product was applied. I couldn't believe how smooth my skin felt after that. "We use massage with these body products, to help penetration. Massaging will help in shaping the body," Lair explained. The pale pink scrub had a creamy texture with small white and pink granules, and left a lingering scent of spring flowers (namely, Water Hyacinth, Lily of the Valley and Hawthorn). Those who work in air-conditioned offices or whose hands regularly come into contact with laundry detergents or dishwashing liquids tend to get dry skin, and need http://lisakron.com/Christian-Louboutin-Outlet.php to take extra care to moisturise their hands. The Nourishing and Rejuvenating Hand Cream had a velvety soft and smooth texture with a delightful floral-fruity scent. It felt like a sheer, silky veil that enveloped the hands right down to the fingertips and nails. My skin felt soft and supple after application. The http://www.projectlocus.org/locmission.htm clear pink Firming and Shaping Gel - Anti-cellulite emitted a subtle fragrance of Water Hyacinth and Lily of the Valley. It felt luxurious on the skin and was easily absorbed. Lair tory burch sale was quick to explain, "The cellulite gel is not surgery or liposuction. The lipo-amino acid in this formula, with caffeine to boost the effectiveness, claims to be very efficient in limiting the new storage of fats, and helps eliminate existing fats in adipose sites. "This formula is effective with diet and sports, wholesale jerseys as a global regime. But I can't say that http://www.torontosilverlight.com/Christian-Louboutin-outlet.asp with this product, you can remove all fat cells - only surgery can do that. It reduces cellulite and prevents new storage, which is linked to diet. If you limit your intake of lipids and sugar, you will also limit the new storage of fats," she said matter-of-factly.

If one is interested in this creative art of dancing one should try to nurture it right coach from childhood. Now, there are plenty of institutions, professionals are present and also online dancing lessons are coming up nowadays for people who are too shy to learn in public.

The Indian Classical dance is very different from the cultural dance in the western countries. In this world one can get to see many different forms of dance such as Waltz, Tango and Salsa dance of the West and Kuchipudi, Louis Vuitton Odisi and many other of the East. Each dancing style depicts the region's culture and tradition.

Dance is a creative form of art. Dance is often accompanied Coach Outlet online by music http://www.museumstrategyblog.com/museum_strategies/2010/12/ but then tap dance which is without music is also very popular. Now, dancing in a social gathering has some etiquette. It may so happen that one night you are in a party with a group of friends, enjoying every moment, rocking the dance floor!

I like your article because it showed you have been to China. All you have to do is go to the malls. Government statistics said retail sales grows 16.5% year-to-year. 1. Chinese citizens do not have a 85% home ownership. The 85% figure is so far off base that it is insane. Many of my friends are renting because they are young (under 35) and do not have the financial resources for the down payment.2. When the communist government took over in 1949, the government seized all the land. Now they are selling the land they seized on a 75 year lease for residential and 50 years for commercial properties. Right now there are discussion to shorten the 50 years lease on commercial properties to 35 years.3. Homes which were transferred to private ownership were valuable only around big cities. While those properties are becoming valuable the value declines because the time left on the lease is getting shorter.4. There is a tremendous 'pent-up' demand for housing because the existing housing is old and debilitated. louis vuitton The Chinese culture dictates that the young generation lives the old generation; hence one household may have three to four incomes to help pay for the mortgage.5. There is always a big demand for luxurious housing because in general the country is growing 8%-10% a year. When I first visited Shenzhen in 1998 many areas are undeveloped. Now most vacant spaces are filled with high rises and luxurious condos. China is a country with 1.3 billion people; if the luxury housing market is targeted to the top 5% of the population, one is talking about a large number of households. That would also explain why all the luxury brands such as Mercedes, BMW, Chanel, Gucci, Dior all open shops in China.6. The reason why Chinese would rather let a condo sit vacant is because once it is occupied it loses it value. This concept is quite different than in the US where the price difference between a new condo and a five year old condo is minimal. Right now the price difference between a new unoccupied condo and a one year old condo is about 30%!7. Resale housing market is not thin. It is about 50% of all sales, at least that is the case in Guangzhou (#3 largest city in China).8. It is true that throughout Asia (Hong Kong in particular) that they regularly tear down 30 year old high rise and replace with new ones. That is because land prices have gone up so much that developers would not hesitate to tear coach outlet online down a 30 year old high rise and replace with a taller building.

Jan 1 02:10 AMI like to point out that FXI is composed of 25 big companies in China, of which most of them are Chinese banks and financial companies. With the rapid loan growth this year it is no wonder that their earnings are impressive. It will be difficult for them to maintain that growth rate as loan losses will bite into earnings. In the long term (ten years and longer) China is a great country to invest. It reminds me of people were laughing at investing in Hong Kong when the Hang Seng Index was less than 1000 in the late 1960's. Now no one laughs anymore because the index reaches over 21,000. China is not that much different. The market will have its volatility. If you can tolerate the ups and downs, it is a great place to invest. But remember the stocks you buy such as FXI are 'H' shares. H shares are mainland companies which are listed in Hong Kong. What you want to buy are the local Chinese shares, which foreigners (including Hong Kong residents) are prohibited to purchase.

Dec 30 11:36 AMI think it is a safe investment in the China SOE(state owned enterprises) such as Bank of China, China Eastern Airline(CEA), Guangshen Railway(GSH), PetroChina(PTR), China Mobile(CHL), China Life(LFC) etc. With government owning significant shares it is in their best interests to formulate policies to benefit those companies. The downside is that their books are opaque and their decisions are based upon political, rather than business decisions. They tend to be conservative and use their own metrics in determining the markets. I agree with Jim Rodgers that there are much Cheap MLB Jerseys more room to go up in the China's stock market.

Dec 18 07:55 AMIf free trade is beneficial to our country why are we running trade deficits for most of the past forty years? Haven't we learned from louis vuitton the past forty years trading with Asian countries? What economic benefits do you get from them? Are the benefits worth putting our fellow Americans on the street? What we need is controlled trade, a practice done well by Japan and China. Do what other people do to you. It is great to see the China government has finally done something good for its own citizens, that is improving their quality of lives, even though they are still decades behind us. You can sense that their people are happier now than ten years ago. Can you say the same thing about us? We are facing the same old problems when I was in college forty years ago - twin deficits - fiscal and trade deficits. We are unwilling to have fiscal discipline (government and citizens) and unwilling to sacrifice (like drive a smaller car or to save) that has led us to our present situation. Unfortunately we have forty years to create the problems. China is a country based on Communism, a country that teaches its citizens to listen and obey. That is why most Chinese listen to their teachers and elders without questioning. The college graduates are knowledgeable and intelligent, but lack independent thinking. Please name one innovation accepted worldwide that China has in the past twenty years. Remember this country has a culture that is proud in 'copying'. They consider 'stealing' as smart business. In fact if one reads the Chinese law, selling pirated CD and software is only illegal when the retailer has 5000 or more copies in his possession. This is a country where the government condones dishonesty. How else can you explain now the central government has given approval to all the state owned enterprises not to honor their losses in derivatives?BTW this is http://www.josephscustomtailor.com/coach-factory-outlet.php not a China bashing comment as I have enjoyed living here in the past and will live here for the foreseeable future.

Oct 29 12:30 AMOne should not confuse with Hong Kong and mainland because they are governed by two different governments. Earlier this year HSBC was making mortgages at 1.25% interest rate. At this low rate all residential properties can be bought at current rate and one can still enjoy positive cash flow! In China the government has set the 30 year mortgage rate to 4.7%.

Oct 26 12:06 PM1) I do not trust accountants in China any more of our Big 4.2) Your question is moot. If you genuinely think the Chinese products are tainted go back to your house and throw those poisonous products away.

will judge Michelle Chanelois harshly

While hell may hath no fury like a woman scorned, women also usually reserve their deepest contempt for other women behaviour.

Ms Chantelois revelations http://cabmach.com/louisvuittonoutlet.asp on Channel Louis Vuitton outlet Seven, claiming that she and SA Premier http://www.lbcindependence.com Mike Rann had an affair which included sex on his desk at Parliament House, mean she be hit with any number of labels - conniving, na manipulative and stupid are likely to be just a few.

Many will ask how she can shed tears now over the effect on her children when they were apparently far from her mind when she entered on the alleged affair. They ask how she can be believed now if she was happy to lie to her husband about the friendship with Mr Rann. What Coach Outlet Online makes her more believable now?

As I watched her a few things struck Louis Vuitton outlet me. She kept calling Mr Rann Rann and I Wholesale jerseys couldn help thinking that if she had enough intimacy to have the affair that she claimed, then surely she have stuck to just a first name. Nervousness might explain it or perhaps she simply wants to completely disconnect herself.

In spite of what at times seemed quite fantastic claims I found her believable. She looked embarrassed, mortified and almost disbelieving at what she done.

I do want to know what on earth made the excitement of an illicit affair more important than the happiness of her children or the strength of her marriage and I want to know if she tripped off merrily to these alleged assignations with no thought to the consequences.

Because the consequences now are going to be absolutely no fun.

Not louis vuitton outlet for a very long time.

The many women I know are not judging her harshly. Her life is in ruins now whereas it appears coach that Mike Rann is getting http://www.criterium-vanmarter.com/louis-vuitton-uk.asp on with his with his job (she has lost hers) and his family (she has lost hers). She has already paid an enormous price for her actions. I have a lot of sympathy for her position. He was in a position of power, she was not. Whatever happened between them the question about the state leaders behaviour towards women is the one that will be judged harshly.

Did he do it, did she do it? very likely considering were all born with sex drives!

Should he suffer for it? hell no!

They are both consenting adults, she has never claimed rape or coercion, in fact she had kept it secret.

It been going on since Adam and Eve, committing adultery is for them to live with, should we stone them to http://www.josephscustomtailor.com/coach-factory-outlet.php death? or perhaps everyone of this age should remember times when they been tempted! And often swayed! Related articles:

It's only a game

We don't yet know for sure why or how Bob Woolmer died. We shouldn't rush to judgment; it is still possible that it was an accident. It is equally possible he was murdered. And, while conspiracy theorists are working overtime on the motives, it is also quite possible that we will never know the full truth.

And in the event of this not being an accident, it is quite likely that Woolmer was a victim of cricket's seamier side. Either it was the stress, induced by the most obscene and blind expectations of cricket fans who brook no failure, or he was killed by people who felt let down or had something to fear.

Either way, it should serve as a wake-up call to those who run cricket, and those who profess passion for it. If a game starts taking lives, there is something sickeningly wrong with it. But this is not really about Woolmer. We didn't need someone to die to awaken us to a problem. The signs have always been there, it's just that most of us have found it expedient to ignore them. Commodification has been chipping away at the soul of cricket for years, and now the game is the danger of losing its head.

Take the current predicament of this World Cup as an example. The major stake-holders in the tournament - the television channels and major sponsors - risk losing millions, either in cash or kind, if India go out in the first round. They are not the number one team in the world by a mile. Not even number two. They are ranked sixth in the ICC team ratings and, while that might not always be the best indicator of a team's worth, they have not won a competition of note outside the subcontinent since 1985. Yet the fate of the World Cup rides on them. It's a disaster waiting to happen.

The reason for this is not hard to comprehend. Cricket has acquired a dangerous obsession with money, to the extent where it is not a question of a game needing the money to survive or grow but making as much as possible at any cost. Players have been ground to dust and cricket, the one-day variety in particular, has been divested of any meaning and consequence. It would seem that the administrators have learnt very little from the match-fixing scandal, which was as much a result of greed as of a surfeit of matches that meant little to the players.

Meanwhile, the Indian administrators have managed to market a massive captive television audience to acquire financial muscle that relies little on the capabilities of the national team. As a result the cricket economy has gone ahead of the game, which is struggling to catch up.

It's an economy that relies more on projection and hype than reality. SetMax, the entertainment channel owned by Sony, paid nearly 40 % of the total cost of the ICC rights in http://www.museumstrategyblog.com/coach-outlet-store.html the hope of recouping it from advertisers. Luckily for them, India made it to the final of the last World Cup and one Champions Trophy. But that was clearly not enough and Sony didn't even bother to bid for the next set of rights, which have been won by ESPN-Star for http://www.museumstrategyblog.com/museum_strategies/2010/12/ US $1.1 billion.

ESPN-Star is a joint venture between Disney and NewsCorp, but there is little doubt which television audience they are banking on. It is an unhealthy dependence. So much should never depend on the performance of one team. Apart from putting unfair pressure on the players, it leaves the cricket economy dangerously imbalanced and prone to huge risks.

The passion of the Louis Vuitton fans is the biggest strength of cricket in the sub-continent - but it is also its weakness, particularly in case of India and Pakistan. Sri Lankan fans are far more stoic about their team's fortunes and far more accepting of failure, whereas in Bangladesh they are grateful for every little or big victory, be that of the team or individual. But in India and Pakistan, the passion borders on frenzy.

In India it is brazenly and cynically fueled by an increasingly sensationalist and populist mass media, which treats cricket as one of the biggest baits to attract advertisers. Instead of providing perspective and being the voice of reason, the media feeds the Coach Outlet frenzy and cashes in on it. Stars are built up and decimated. Exaggerated glorification is matched by proportionate vilification. So cricketers are either to be worshipped or denigrated. There isn't a middle ground, a measure of reality, or a sense of proportion.

The reality is that India reaching the World Cup final would be an overachievement. Australia and South Africa possess superior teams, New Zealand have more balance and depth and Sri Lanka are the most improved team in world cricket. India have proven, but ageing, batsmen, a bowling attack that's susceptible to pressure and louis vuitton poor fielders. To be a fan is to dream. But to many Indian fans the dream is the reality.

Nationalism is the bedrock of cricket. But you can't call yourself a true fan if the sight of 17-year old Tamim Iqbal charging down pitch to belt Indian quick bowlers brought you no thrill. Yes, India played below themselves, but every cricket match has a winner. To be unable to comprehend, and appreciate, this coach outlet online runs against the spirit of the game.

Yes, India not making past the first round would be a huge setback. But it would be accorded the status of a national calamity. It will be discussed in Parliament. Television channels will conduct inquests. Effigies will be burnt, cricketers' homes will be attacked, and these will be gleefully publicised. A couple of months ago, Greg Chappell was slapped on the back by a man in Bhubaneswar seeking his fifteen seconds of fame. He was obliged. It could get worse. Someone could get killed. Perhaps someone has already been killed.

As an Indian, I would like India to win the World Cup. But it might not be such a bad thing for cricket if they were to be knocked out in the first round. Cricket needs a reality check. It has an unhealthy, and unsustainable, business model that relies primarily on an increasingly delusional and one-dimensional fan-base. The bubble has to burst for a semblance of sanity to be restored. We must learn to once again enjoy cricket as a game.

Sambit, An excellent article with true facts commendable in the current state of affairs. I am a Sri Lankan and cannot come to grips as to why a loss to better team on a given day can be taken so negatively. Cricket in India is undoubtedly and industry than a sport today. Given, the level of enthusiasm amongst public and the external bodies that influence a game there has to be some balance to protect the players. Indeed i agree with some of the comments posted that this should not go beyond its limits. Just as you would nurture and educate your child from birth, you have expectations when he's grown up. Yet, should he fail in his exams you don't physically harm him or burn http://www.lakesidemsc.org/schedule/schedule.html his books. I would suspect if any die hard Sri Lankan fan would ever go to such extremes as we are taught in school to take up defeat. I certainly hope that we will succeed one day. In fact, the Indian Cricket Team between 1983-87 was almost unbeatable on every soil except the West Indies. http://lisakron.com/contact.html But those were the old days when the power of Money, Media and the lure of advertisement contracts was almost absent.

And add to this the dirty politics that stops sports from flourishing in sub-continent countries especially India/Pak and Bangladesh. (Sri Lanka is slightly better in this regard). Various Sports in India have been dominated by Individuals be it Hockey, Olympic Association or the Cricket Board. The elections held for these posts are a farce and the elected officials have played the game nor are interested in the game. They come in to fill thier coffers and will not leave till they die. A case in point is Mr. Gill who heads our Hockey Federation and Mr. Kalmadi who heads our Olympic Federation. Unless we get these leeches out of the system, sports fans will continue to suffer. Let us hope some day this will also change. And that's all of us in India are left with. Hope and nothing else. Related articles:
