Beijing also has one of the coolest arts quarters in the world in the form of 798 - the East German-built military factory complex now transformed into a thriving community of painters, sculptors and designers (not to mention trend-seeking tourists desperate for a taste of China's SoHo...

While Benazir Bhutto has returned to demanding that Musharraf resign following the breakdown of the political marriage between them brokered by the U.S., Musharraf may be trying to bring Nawaz Sharif over to his side.
