Looks as if Florida has done it again. Just when the race to replace President George W. Bush's 2000-election confidant Katherine Harris in the 13th District had swung to Republican Vern Buchanan--by a mere 369 votes--his Democratic challenger, Christine Jennings, last week filed a lawsuit claiming that voting machines had failed to register 18,000 ballots.

That means everything from tapas joints to decadent martini lounges is finally on the menu. Face Bar, tel: (86-10) 6551 6788, swung open its doors in July, and is a good example of the new kind of venue to be found - blending northern-Chinese substance with an international style more commonly found in China's worldlier south.
