She’s back to take the world by storm at the same time as Sade.
Premiere: Video: “On A Mission” by Gabriella Cilmi
1Just when we announced the return, the video for the first single is out. You can see how’s it’s a departure from the sound that launched her and a new direction in her visual sphere. It sounds like something Girls Aloud would do. We have to say she is looking good.

Beirut no longer hot spot, Hello Damascus!
7
Last year The New York Times named Beirut the #1 place to go to in 2009. This year, the list is out and there is not trace of Beirut. It was replaced by Sri Lanka at the top spot (which we fully agree with as we visited Weligama, Kandy, Colombo and Taprobane Island and absolutely adored it). But, interestingly enough, Damascus, also a place of untapped touristic gold, has sprung up at #7. The article explains: “The next Marrakesh? Perhaps mindful of the way that renovations of historic riads have drawn upscale travelers to Marrakesh, Damascus hoteliers are trying to mine tourism gold in the rundown buildings of the Syrian capital’s Old City.”
Also, the most compelling entry at #9 is Antarctica. Now, that’d be fun. Let’s go!

The Yas Hotel in Abu Dhabi
1In the world of architecture, everyone knows the UAE has everything big and mighty. Structures from a ski resort in the desert to the tallest building in the world. But, sometimes the important details are left out. For example, the entire city of Dubai does not have a single modern hotel. So, this hotel in Abu Dhabi comes as a break from the norm. It’s designed by New York-based company Asymptote. The hotel bridges the car racing track. It launched in November and is open now. Click here to book.
Air travel across the world
This image is really spectacular not only because it shows where the world is connected most, but also because it shows the parts of the world where no flights go. We knew Africa is not very well-connected with air flights, but we didn’t think it was that sparse.
