...come to invent the flash mob? I sent an e-mail out to about 60 people that said, "You have been invited to join the Mob Project. It gathers an inexplicable mob of people in New York City for 10 minutes or less."

And to encourage...

Although his latest project is located in Singapore, not Shanghai, famed Hong Kong restaurateur Calvin Yeung named his first overseas venture One on the Bund, after Shanghai's legendary riverbank - with good reason.
