...always better, but it's hard not to love the sheer scale of the newly opened Merano Thermal Baths (thermemeran.it) in Italy's mountainous South Tyrol region. Designed by celebrated Italian architect Matteo Thun, the expansive, steel-and-glass complex encompasses 25 indoor and outdoor sulfur-infused pools, fed by a thermal source located 2,350 m underground. The hot spring, which keeps the baths at a cozy 33°C, was originally discovered in 1836. All-natural therapies-including apple-bud baths, radon water massages and grape mudpacks-are available alongside medical treatments for such ailments as rheumatism...
...decades, the Summit revolving restaurant (summitrestaurant.com.au) was one of Sydney's mild disappointments. No one could fault the view - 47 floors high and completing a revolution every 105 minutes, it offered stunning panoramas of one of the world's prettiest cities.

And as the Indian parties all over Davos this year proved, it already has a crop of companies - Infosys, Jet Airways and Mittal Steel - whose leaders are trying to become the next masters of the universe. Indeed, while Davos was in full swing on Friday, Mittal Steel made an audacious j18.6 billion bid for Europe's steel champion, Luxembourg-based Arcelor. Naturally, such predictions depend on a huge number of assumptions that could easily...
...China needs to boost its own domestic demand. The revision of the economy's size means that Chinese spending on education, health care and other social programs is even smaller as a proportion of the overall economy than previously thought. And industrialization is taking a toll: several industries, including steel and automobiles, have been growing so rapidly that they now have problems of overcapacity. Still, with 300 million rural laborers in China eager to join the industrialization push for pay that's a fraction of what Americans or West Europeans earn, the downward pressure on wages and jobs worldwide...
