RAOUL PRELLER in Hong Kong
People come to Hong Kong, intent on staying for a two year stint. 20 years later, they’re still here. The city is a black hole (in a positive sense) of fast, easy and fun living. Every reason to stay... and no reason to leave!It’s the ‘Manhattan’ of the East, China’s gateway to the world... and the energy and prosperity is palpable! From the rawness of China to the glitz of a great world city, Hong Kong has ...
RECREATE YOUR LIFE
Are you a glass half empty or half full kind of person? In my experience it is often the way you look at life that either drags you deeper and deeper into a dark hole of negativity or enables you to meet each day with optimism and positivity.But what does this mean... Well put simply - the thoughts we have and the words we use create our actions and therefore the results we get in life. To quote Henry Ford, ...
Re-invigorating getaways
Revitalising the body and relaxing is an extremely important part of life and can be easily forgotten when living in the hustle and bustle of a big city. We get so wound up in work that we never stop and take time out. A lot of the time, spa breaks are perceived to be too expensive, and we never even bother to enquire just how much they could cost! With all the financial uncertainty that the world is facing ...
RIEKIE NEL in Dubai
My husband and I have lived in Dubai for almost a year now. We enjoy it here and we’ve made so many new friends from South Africa and other countries. We are staying in a modern new build apartment. Both of us are working during the week, and enjoy weekends of going to the desert, or the sea for a braai and relaxing on the beach, otherwise we stay home and invite friends over. Although Dubai is our life now ...

Rainbow bright shades of sunny yellow, warm coral, vermillion orange, verdant green, hibiscus red, hot pink, pungent purple and sapphire blue make their way from the runways into our closets, as we witness a flashback to the 80s!With winter finally behind us and the sun filtering its way back into our lives, it time to put the ...
RODRIGUEZ and Fujiya & Miyagi
Legendary Detroit psych-rock cult artist Rodriguez makes a rare UK performance
6 June 2009 @ Barbican, CLICK HERE for more details
Legendary Detroit singer and songwriter Rodriguez has had one of the oddest career trajectories in popular music. Rediscovered a decade ago working on a Detroit building site, he was apparently unaware that one of his own albums had become not only a cult classic, but for peop ...
ROGER WILLIAMSON in Wimbledon
We are a great nation, we have a lot going for us and as a passionate South African living here and missing all the normal things like sunshine, warmth and chatting to strangers, is just a small part of the living experience.
I have decided that I need to be as passionate about where I am now as where I am anywhere in the world! My quest is to make as many friends and contacts here as possible and let what ...

ROZANA ADAMS in Dubai
Moving to Dubai was one of the best choices I could have made. A new era for me filled with amazing possibilities only in Dubai. I have a job a love, I get to travel the world, I’m surrounded by amazing ambitious people, and I get to party till I drop……People always ask what’s it like to live in Dubai? I only have one word to describe it – Surreal! It truly has the biggest, the best, the first, the tallest, ...

RAYMOND MORRIS in Brussels
My wife and I live in Brussels and although no place is ever perfect, the positives of living here by far outweigh the negatives.This cosmopolitan city is crawling with expatriates, many from the EU-community or NATO. International bodies abound and every UN-recognized country seems to have a mission or three just around the corner. Despite Belgium being officially a trilingual country (Flemish, French an ...
ROAD RAGE is Bad
Road rage statistics in South Africa are a scary thing. In a survey, up to 70% of all South African motorists reported having suffered abuse from other drivers, in the form of aggressive behaviour, verbal insults and 11% of drivers having to deal with aggressors actually getting out of their vehicle in a fit of road rage. In 2005 SA earned the unfortunate title of the worst road rage record in the world, in ...
RYAN KORIYA In My Place
Musicians trying to make it big is nothing new. Chasing dreams and record labels, distribution deals and the next big thing! No where is this more so than the established music industry in the UK. Amidst this mix, exist a few Southern African musicians making ripples on the musical sea of London. Diving in or tenderly testing the water. Sinking or swimming. Hiring a boat, hitching a ride or just staying afl ...

RECREATE YOUR LIFE
When you come from a place as beautiful as South Africa and move to a big city like London, it can be easy to let the atmosphere get to you.In my practice I often come across people who perceive the glass as half empty? Is this you?Do you complain and whine to anyone who will listen. Are you never satisfied with anything? What do you say when someone asks you how you are … do you say “ok, I suppose” or “ ...
