Southern China offers a haven for antique-shoppers: for old furniture in its raw state, explore the open markets in Zhuhai and Zhongshan

Article Abstract:

Mainland China is the place to go for old furniture in their unreconstructed state. On highway 105 between Zhuhai and Zhongsan, for instance, a roadside market offers piles of cabinets, altar tables and chairs while warehouses and factories are filled with beds, trunks and bridal carriages. There is also a Ming dynasty temple in Guangdong province serving as a furniture warehouse. Most of these pieces are cracked and stained which lets buyers verify their authenticity and decide how much repair or restoration is needed.

Fine tuning its instruments: balance sheet lures some into Singapore Airlines

Article Abstract:

Investment advisers warn potential investors that Singapore Airlines may yet be a good buy despite its recent decision to invest heavily in capital improvements. Advisers contend that the company has good balance sheet factors that work in its favor. Moreover, the airline has more agreements with international carriers compared with other airlines and that the company is making good money from other sources other than ticket sales.
