As I walked through the winding alleys in the Old City of Kashgar today, I thought a lot about what it means to be "aspirational". In the industry that I work in, we talk about "aspirational" television channels and frankly, I have always ... Read more >

CHINA | Sun, 25 Sep 2011 | By rachthe1st | Views [664]
My initial impression of Beijing was that it was one of the cities that I built whilst playing Sim City. In fact they even have congestion signs to warn drivers how busy the roads up ahead are going to be – if they haven’t figured it out after 10 mins ... Read more >
