Happy Birthday Mr. Mandela, Through out your years of captivity you were an example of what a man could withstand in order to achieve fredom and respect. You became greater afterwards, forgiving those who imprisoned you. Freedom has no better ally.

It is time to broaden our horizons. Our school days were filled with Hardy, Shakespeare, Dickens etc, but today our access to literature is widening.  In recent years more and more Asian literature has crossed to our shores. Works from India and its English-speaking neighbours are becoming more prominent mainly because they avoid the problem of translation.  

 

However, Michael Binyon of the Times Online points out that we often find ourselves less familiar with the literature of Japan or South-East Asia as little has been translated. But this is now being addressed by the Festival of Asian Literature that is taking place at Asia House between 12th and 23rd May. This is the second festival of its kind which will attempt to build on the writings and translations of Asian writers available in Britain.

 

Asia House is fast becoming London’s cultural window as the main showcase of the arts, films, music and literature from India, China and some 30 other countries from Indonesia to the Gulf. The festival will not only bring you access to modern Chinese Art, discussions on Indian nationalism and the opportunity to join in a Thai festival, but it also aims to increase your awareness of Asian literature. You will be able to listen to discussions by writers and commentators of culture, literature and politics across the continent.  It is hoped that it will appeal to those of Asian culture as well as those wanting to discover something new.

‘So much to do and so little time to do it in’, is that something you hear yourself saying? Well, according to Phil Redmond of the Liverpool Daily Post it is a cry that is increasingly common to hear. It is great to know that our culture is so rich and varied that there is so much going on to keep us all entertained.  

 

But what’s that? You are struggling to find something interesting to do? There is nothing out there to suit your tastes or when you do hear about something it is too late? Now some people would say that you are not trying hard enough. But in today’s hectic world of work, work, work, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with the latest exhibitions, shows etc. Wouldn’t it be fantastic if there was a list of stylish VIP experiences that you could browse through at your convenience?  Events that you could just book turn up on the day and have a fantastic time with like-minded people?

 

What would be on your event wish list? How about  a Walking tour of Greenwich with Architect, Ken Allinson, or a Buckingham Palace Tour & dine at Mosimann’s or perhaps you’d Enjoy an Exclusive and Memorable Lunch 125 metres above Paris? Don’t worry, I’m not suggesting that you have to organise any of these yourself. There is no need. You could enjoy London’s most exclusive social events calender simply by becoming a member of

The SaVVy Club®.  Never again would you feel as though you were missing out.

It is official. The world has gone mad for coffee. You only have to look down your average high street and count the number of coffee shops to see that we have embraced the concept of caffeine on tap. There is something to suit everyone – from espresso to latte and just about every flavour imaginable.

 

The rather excess price of our favourite tipple has even become accepted. We used to baulk at the thought of paying in excess of £2 for a cup of coffee – or at times, a cup of froth with a hint of coffee flavoured brown liquid hidden below. But not anymore.

 

So what would you consider expensive for a coffee? How much would you be prepared to satisfy those caffeine cravings? How about £50? What?! I hear you cry as you choke on your steaming mug of instant. But I kid you not.

 

A cup of coffee, claimed to be the most expensive in the world, as just gone on sale for £50 a cup. It is brewed with a blend of Jamaican Blue Mountain and the exclusive Kopi Luwak bean. If you think the cost is unpalatable read on, it gets worse. The Kopi Luwak bean is collected from cat droppings and sells for a reported £324 a kilo. No, don’t look at your calendar, it’s not April Fools Day, this is for real.

 

The coffee has been blended by coffee expert David Cooper. The Kopi Luwak, or civet coffee, is made from beans eaten and expelled by the Indonesian civet cat that lives on plantations across south-east Asia. Workers collect expelled beans from the plantation floor, wash away the dung and roast them.

 

Has that got the taste buds going? If you are tempted to try it out pop down to the Peter Jones department store in London’s Sloane Square during April. You will be able to choose from the usual range of coffees, including espresso, which also sells for £50 a shot.  All proceeds are being donated to Macmillan Cancer Support.
