Hi friends, it is yet another energetic month replete with a whole bunch of eclectic activities!
This month we decided to dedicate this edition to the younger generation and that is why you would find several write-ups related to the same. For our Cover Story, we have chosen to highlight the New York Kids Club in Tianjin which is run by husband-wife duo of Loretta Zhang and Eric Fan in an attempt to emulate the learning style followed in New York for children.
Our ode to the younger generation continues by bringing forth highlights of 2016 Rio Olympics wherein the sportsman spirit extended beyond the arena and exposed the humane side of the otherwise fiercely competitive games. Discussion on children further continues through Baby tips for mothers-to-be and the entertainment section wherein a glimpse of latest Hollywood flicks that are must-watch for families is provided.
In a chit-chat with two foreigners who have resettled to Tianjin, we have made an attempt to understand their perspectives of our beloved city so as to retain the cosmopolitan flavor that it is known for. There is plenty on travel too wherein some of the best city hotels in Beijing are discussed as also unique tourist spots in China which are slightly off the beaten track, not to mention some of the best spots to sample roast fish, beer and try out some special dishes.
You can also look forward to plenty of advice, particularly if you are suffering from back pain, need some guidance as to how to use the social media to your advantage or intend to pack your forthcoming days with several events happening around the city. If you are of a more serious disposition, our section on culture that dwells on Confucius would definitely appeal to you.
Among all this, do not forget to read your horoscope for the coming month and check out the past events that marked the one gone by. Good luck and don'€™t forget to visit our website www.tianjinplus.com and follow us in our official Wechat account (ID: tianjin_plus) for more lifestyle information.
Best wishes, Sandy Moore
