Tokio. By George Haris. We had a fantastic time, what do you think about Tokyo? Hmm, extraordinary is a word that epitomises Tokyo. No other city in the world can match its many contradictory characteristics, most evident in its wholehearted embrace of both innovation and tradition. Wildly imaginative fashion and astonishingly advanced technology fill the high streets, yet a traditional etiquette pervades everyday life. Tokyo’s chic citizens appear voraciously acquisitive – you’ll find a million shops in the streets, skyscrapers and subterranean malls – yet…Continue Reading “Big in Japan – Park Hyatt / Tokyo / Japan”

Today House & Hotel Magazine features Switzerland and the Swiss alps. On our arrival in Zurich, we remarked a different looking, nice house, better an office in Zurich. It looks great and it looks funky, the “Freitag” bag store in Zurich that’s made from recycled freight containers. It is completely built from rusty, recycled freight-containers.
