Taking sips, not gulps
Life, Su-Mei Yu, Published on 07/02/2012
» After a 14-hour flight from the US, I arrived in Taipei on a morning when the sun was hidden behind a cold, grey mist. Dripping wet from the rain, I stepped into a car. It wasn't exactly an auspicious beginning to a vacation I'd been looking forward to for weeks. Before I set off to spend the Christmas break with my brother and sister-in-law in Taiwan, I'd been struggling through an unusually cold, damp California winter, hoping and praying for a sunny holiday.

Cabochon Hotel & Residence instead looks back to the days of yore for inspiration, landing in 1920s Shanghai to be exact.

Where did the wild things go?
B Magazine, Published on 07/10/2012
» Every Sunday during my salad days in Songkhla I would march out onto the sands of Samila beach with the mighty Boontongs Bombers _ the Volleyball Team for Gentlemen _ whose blue shirts were emblazoned with our motto from Cicero: Otium Cum Dignitate which, if you remember your Latin, means Leisure with Dignity.
