...waterborne tourist haunt is locally infamous for its mediocre food and moribund air. But all that has changed with the opening of Top Deck, tel: (852) 2552 3331, a snazzy international restaurant on the Jumbo's uppermost level. Operated by the same team behind the almost-as-iconic Caf? Deco restaurant atop Victoria Peak, the new venue provides the best excuse in years for a trip to the Jumbo's anchorage in Aberdeen Harbour. Amid a breezy alfresco setting (choose from tables, sofas and even day beds), visitors can dine on cosmopolitan bistro fare?think steaks, sushi, tandoori dishes...
...business center, which opened earlier this month in London's fashionable Marylebone district. The space will show traditional and contemporary Asian arts in its gallery, and host lectures (past subjects have included Sichuan cookery and Persian mysticism) and concerts by top Asian musicians.

Asia House will certainly be a great place to spot similarities and enjoy differences. tel: (44-20) 7307 5454; www.asiahouse.org

Serving over 900 of the nation's finest brews, revered for their strength and diversity, and with a menu as thick as a phone book boasting these as well...
...CAFE DIGLAS The caf?'s red currant slice, piled high with the berries and a glossy meringue, is legendary, and the banana and chocolate variety is very popular. Caf? Diglas features marble-topped tables, dark wood paneling and red plush seating, and isn't touristy. There is live piano music three evenings a week. tel: (43-1) 5125 7650; www.diglas.at...
...CAFE KORB This eatery's plain, somewhat worn 1960s interior has none of the grandeur of Demel or Hotel Sacher, nor the old Viennese charm of Caf? Diglas. But if you're looking for a knockout warm apple strudel, one of Austria's most famous pastries, then look no further...
