Residents of Chengdu, glued to the Internet and TV shows like Friends, are striving to connect with the outside world more than ever before, in fashion trends, food and lifestyles. Starbucks is importing its coffee-education strategy to persuade customers to splurge on a cappuccino. (A grande latte in Chengdu costs about $3.30, a huge sum in a city where locals typically earn less than $7 a day.) Starbucks has seven outlets in Chengdu (more than Peoria...
...interest in cycling began on a trip to Europe. No, it was not the day I spent sitting outside a café in Paris sipping café au lait and watching the Tour de France riders swoop by.

But just because he’s wearing Teva’s, a flannel shirt, and Carhartt’s, don’t assume he just got back from the Outing Club’s kayaking trip—that was last weekend. This Saturday, the Peet’s aficionado will load up his Volvo with kegs for the PfoHo Bell Tower rager. He doesn?...
