TRAVELOGUE - AMSTERDAM
Things you MUST do in Amsterdam!
by JEANNIE HO, exclusives editor

2. If you like beer, or if you are curious about how beer is made, go to the Heineken Brewery to achieve the Heineken Experience. Don’t worry, the cost is only 10 Euros and you receive three free cups of Heineken.

3. At night time, take a stroll through the naughty parts of Amsterdam to witness the world‘s oldest profession. The prostitutes in the Red Light District don‘t loiter on the street corners, rather they sit in front of huge windows which lead to their rooms. Red lights shine bright.





COLUMN - Twisted
What in the World?
by LAWRENCE LU, columnist
The people hurt by the wave DO very much need help. They have needed help for the longest time, flooding or not, but no one cared. But this time, the world’s media gave them the spotlight and with a wave of their money making wand, made them the next big “thing.”

Do you think a few million from a movie star is anything considerable? It would be more of a statement for an average citizen to give $10. There are those who appear truly genuine in their efforts like Leonardo Dicaprio, who wouldn’t disclose the amount donated, and who wanted to research what the money would be used for.

But for the others, it was like watching a pissing contest.

They just happen to be pissing cash over Asia.
