Fresh air supply. Red ballet. Three pianos. Sarah Chang meets Tzimon Barto. And the finest of Indian films.
In the rear-view mirror:
We heard about what you did last weekend... Well, not really. We spent our weekend at home reading. We didn’t catch the Adidas boxing in Zhuhai. Or go to the symphony in Guangzhou. No clubbing in Shekou. No day-trips to outer Delta cities. Just a nice novel, some tea and home-cooked meals. We hope you enjoyed the same home harmony.
Fresh air
But if you want to get out this weekend for some fresh air... We suggest: the Air Supply “Never Ending Love” concert in Hong Kong. That’s right, readers. We know you are the same age range as we are. Enough said on 80s nostalgia songs...The concert takes places this Friday with tickets priced at HK$ 280, HK$ 380 and HK$ 480. The show will be held at Hall 5 BC at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. For details: www.wjhk.com.hk

Paint it red
If you want to paint the town red, the Delta town to do it in this weekend is Zhuhai.
