...home to City Hall (where the first legalized same-sex marriages in the country took place), ethnic restaurants, all kinds of colorful Cantabridgians, and fast food (McDonald’s and Wendy’s, specifically). Grittier than Harvard Square, Central feels like a city’s downtown (but with shorter buildings...

In the time it takes to upload pictures of the Yard to Facebook, you and your roommates could bond over sorbet at Christina’s or head out on adventure in downtown Boston.

At a large job market in downtown Shenzhen, hundreds of positions are posted on bulletin boards and rows of recruiters wait to collect applications, but the trail of employment seekers is frustratingly short. At one booth, recruiter Zhong Man says entry-level salaries at her Shenzhen-based apparel company have doubled in the past two years...
