...making wishes and floating candles down the lagoon (a practice during Loy Krathong), or by writing a wish on paper, tying it to a giant lantern and watching it go up into the starlit sky (as the Thais do during Comb Loy). You'll head back to your villa afterward to find that the staff haven't left chocolates on the bed - which would be rather infra dig, one suspects, for a place like the Banyan Tree - but silk pajamas.

China will have to show that it can treat members of its 55 minority groups as fairly and respectfully as it does Han Chinese. It will have to make clear that individual human rights are as important to it as the demands of the collective state. And it will have to prove to a watching world that it is thinking not only of impressive surfaces...
