Oct 1, 2010Guangzhou: Polishing The Pearl
Guangzhou, known for centuries in the West as Canton, is buffing up to host the 16th Asian Games this November. The changes in China’s third-largest city (population 10.3 million), located 75 miles northwest of Hong Kong, are more than cosmetic. As the powerhouse of southern China, Guangzhou was among the very first to benefit from China’s booming economy in the 1980s. Overnight, tens of thousands of factories began to fuel China’s international trade, stocking the store shelves of the world with inexpensive clothing and electronics and making Guangzhou “the world’s workshop.” Rocked by the rise of nearby rivals Shenzhen, Macau and a resurgent Hong Kong, as well as the ascendancy of Shanghai to the north, Guangzhou’s impact may have diminished over time, but the coming of the Asian Games has given the pearl of the Pearl River Delta a fresh impetus to undertake its own renewed expansion.

Oct 1, 2010Hotel Palomar
Arrival/Check-in: When I arrived at Hotel Palomar, it was a beautiful spring afternoon in Philadelphia. The staff immediately assisted me with my luggage and welcomed me to the property. I was intrigued by the unique design of the hotel. Adorned with vibrant portraits of Thomas Jefferson and colorful sculptures of Benjamin Franklin, the boutique property had a contemporary twist on American history. After taking a moment to enjoy the atmosphere, I approached the front desk where check-in was fast, easy and friendly. (30/30)
