...pretty surprised when I found myself enjoying Romania. My mom's elementary school, which I had figured would be a one-room schoolhouse, had—then and now—a woodworking shop. The only woodworking I did in elementary school was sharpening my Lisa Frank pencils with plastic sharpeners. The food was delicious and there really are few places where one can unabashedly eat meat three times...
...There's also scant attention to populating malls with the right mix of shops. Alan Liu, Shanghai-based managing director of Colliers International's North Asia practice, says most try to attract upscale brands.

It was the first Democratic-tilted, faith-based political-consulting firm. They acted as matchmakers between candidates and receptive clergy and helped candidates navigate the Christian media markets and develop a message that crossed party and religious...
African immigrants in South Africa are not unaware of the irony of their treatment in the self-proclaimed "Rainbow Nation," whose constitution declares "that South Africa belongs to all who live in it, united in our diversity." But for Betri Jama, 21, whose shop in Motherwell was razed in February, South Africans are not learning from their own history: "The same people who know oppression, who know dehumanization, they are the people who are oppressing us now," she says...
