Monday, 11 January 2010 07:01 Written by Britany Orwin In with the new year, out with the old clothes Just because the festive season is over, the giving needn’t necessarily stop. In fact, there’s no better time than the new year to clear out all those old clothes that have been clogging up your wardrobe (as well as that gag-inducingly garish sweatshirt that your granny gave you for Christmas).

Friday, 23 October 2009 06:10 Written by Trine Pless-Rasmussen Moving to China can be a mixed experience. For some it is a wish and for others an occupational or family “choice”. For the expatriates working in China especially, the language, the long working hours, and Chinese business culture can be a challenge. In addition the family may be overseas or facing problems adapting to the new culture. High positioned expatriates are supported by drivers, assistants, a high life style, etc; however, they are also required to be high performers / achievers in their new culture. Others, in addition to the long working hours are challenged by being their own assistants at work, dealing with the landlord, and so on.

Tuesday, 01 September 2009 07:09 Written by Ned Kelly Meet the broadcaster on a bold new mission CCTV-9 news anchor James Chau has just become the first National UNAIDS Goodwill Ambassador on the Chinese Mainland. We caught up with him to ask him about the appointment. How did you first come to be involved in AIDS campaigning?My first job was as a news reporter in Hong Kong where I covered the SARS and bird flu pandemics. I saw how it paralyzed a city in the grip of fear in much the same way AIDS did back in the early 1980s. Yet many people had forgotten that AIDS was still here, that 6,700 die of it every day in every part of the world. |
