The Aamby Valley Experience.

A couple weeks back there was a story on the ABC about Aamby Valley - about two hours outside of Mumbai in India. Having traveled there, I'd never heard of it so it piqued my interest. When one thinks of India, first thoughts generally hover on images of dirt, squalor, poverty, industry. But not so in Aamby Valley. In fact, you can buy yourself out of the reality of India - at a price. The roads to Aamby Valley are some of the cleanest, well maintained in India and lead toward the HUGE Megalopolis that is Aamby Valley City. Definitely for the privileged, you can reside in this 10'000 acre estate (not a typo) among "misty hilltops and scented flowerbeds" in your choice of a chic and cozy timber chalet or perhaps a fabulously modern and customized villa.

With high fences and 24 horse-mounted security roaming its perimeter you're sure to feel secure from the scurge of India's lower class, as you tee off on the 18th or maybe take in a game of hockey on ice. Heck - you don't even have to leave the compound (at all), given Aamby Valley also comes stocked with shopping malls, a first class hospital, an international school and much much more.

SUPER Markets.

MPREIS is a family-owned supermarket chain in Austria. Instead of using the same generic blueprints for each new store, MPREIS employs the skill of up and coming architects to create site-specific stores that are in harmony with their environment. Each store is unique, with an unusual attention to detail inside and out. Super.

Regents Court - Sydney.

This is a little gem worth knowing. The Regents Court is a Plush Hotel cum Designers Studio. On offer is a ground floor studio apartment for artists and writers who wish to find a sanctuary in Sydney to work on a specific project. In exchange for 3 - 5 weeks accommodation, residents are asked to help maintain the rooftop garden and be available to welcome late arriving guests and answer the night phone occasionally. Easy. Go see their cool little site!
