...Some of this year's Final Four spending won't even stay in the country. More than half of the several thousand college basketball coaches who flock to the Final Four for their annual convention will be lodging across the river - and border - in Windsor, Ontario. Don't underestimate the financial clout of the coaches, who wander around the host city in their schools' sweat suits (Look, there goes Coach K from Duke! And over there, an assistant coach from Le Moyne!), angling for job gossip and drinking lots of beer. We're talking buckets of beer. And since both...

But getting the chance to gaze at the view of the Charles River from the wide window, however briefly, is cause enough to trek over to Dunster’s library from another House on a Saturday afternoon. Freshmen placed in Dunster: do not despair of your future living in a walk-through next year. Just a tunnel walk away from your room will be a library that takes your breath away...

The selection of literature on the bottom floor celebrates a special focus on obscure English literature that no one reads anymore (a defect present in many other River House libraries, including Winthrop...
...From Emerald Hill, one can take a bus, underground train or taxi for the short trip to the Bras Basah area. There, inside the premises of an old school, is a new Peranakan Museum, www.peranakanmuseum.sg, located within walking distance of the Singapore River and the pubs and restaurants of Boat Quay. The museum itself - painted in the sun-splashed pastels that have seeped into Peranakan fabrics, craftwork and confectionery - is an airy delight, and its vivid recreations of Peranakan household life a pleasure to explore...
