Considering that spas are supposed to be about pampering, it's odd that so many of them deal in unalluring stuff like mud facials and seaweed wraps. How about something more in keeping with the luxurious surroundings and sky-high prices? Realizing that not everyone wants to be smeared in algae or scoured with salt, some spas are offering therapies featuring caviar, chocolate, even champagne. If you want to put the aah back in spa, skip the kelp masks and go straight for these top-dollar treatments...

She runs the Kaluga branch of KMB bank, which specializes in giving small loans to entrepreneurs. She was 21 when she opened the bank branch, a graduate fresh from the local arts college, with no financial experience. No matter. Although there were few takers in the first couple...
...teach you the best way to eat a boiled crawfish (or crayfish, as they're known outside Louisiana). And there'll be plenty of that going on at the annual Breaux Bridge Crawfish Festival (bbcrawfest.com), held from May 5-7.
