alien physiology that lets her absorb
UV radiation.
VALKYRIE

Brunnhilde, rides a winged horse and has

teleportation, superstrength, sight and
hearing, and telepathy.

SINGAPORE
LOOKING FOR A TOP SPOT FOR A MATES GETAWAY? READ ON...
by SHONAGH WALKER

THE FIRST TIME I VISITED SINGAPORE,
I stayed at the Fullerton Hotel, stood
side-of-stage at a Black Eyed Peas concert
and hung out with the band afterwards
(yes, Fergie is way hotter than you think).
I also shopped up a storm. It was a total
rock star experience; one that I thought
Singapore was all about (read: Not an ounce
of culture). Boy, was I wrong. During my
most recent visit I discovered, that its
actually a mind-blowingly awesome
culinary, cultural melting pot that marries
Chinese, Malaysian and Indian influences

like a local. Youll be offered up the likes
of frogs legs and pork offal soup, as well
as extra spicy offerings of stir-fries and
curries. For the less adventurous, like me,
theres also a huge array of authentic Asian
food. My braver buddies assured me that
the scarier sounding morsels were actually
extremely mouth-watering.
Make sure you book the Five Senses
Little India Tour (at the same website
above) where youll uncover some pretty
awesome street art and sweet shops from
which to buy your lady a gift for gracing
you the time for a guys getaway (think:
Plenty of gold jewellery). This tour finishes
with a stomach-bursting, authentic Indian
meal, including traditional fish head curry,
at Apollo Banana Leaf Restaurant.
Then theres 328 Katong Laksa, famed
for having the best Laksa in the world.

A Rush Of Blood
TO THE HEAD
Were taking you on a visual tour
of the famed week-long Spanish
festival of San Fermn held in the
charismatic town of Pamplona
every July. Grab a beer and
picture yourself running in front
of bulls, in the midst of all the
action, but sans the injuries.
by VAIBHAV MEHTA
A CELEBRATION OF LIFE!
Folk from across the world have gathered to
celebrate the festival diligently dressed in
customary red and white. This is a celebratory
scene at the Bull Fight Arena after the last fight
of the day. Theres a deafening mix of music
and drunken chatter as emotions run high and
several bands take centrestage.

All the balconies, garages, shops, terraces around the bull run route
are the most coveted places during the festival for their unique and
unobstructed vantage viewing points.

BUCKET LIST: CHECKED
In the midst of all the action participants,
who stayed up all night to park their place in
the race, finally start their run. From the
highly inebriated to the highly alert ones, the
daring ones who run in front of the bulls, to
the cautious ones who follow in the back,
theres a spot for everyone!
CAUTION: HIGH RISK

Sights like these are not uncommon during
the festival. After every run a few dozen
heroes are carried back on stretchers,
proud for the rest they have earned from
participating in the most authentic manner.

IN HIGH SPIRITS
The celebration during San Fermn is one big,
fat non-stop party as the town of Pamplona
transforms into celebration central. Everyone
is perpetually in high spirits, even at
breakfast. Theres a truly participatory
celebration during breakfast, post the
morning Bull Run, with dancing and singing.
Its not uncommon to see locals wine and dine
on the street outside their houses. Its an open
invitation, also an excellent occasion to meet
and befriend fellow inebriated strangers.

THE LIVELY MURALS
Here is a symbolic representation of people
enthusiastically participating in the run. The
walls are painted with artwork, there are
statues built in the town of Pamplona to
represent the iconic event that has taken
place for centuries.
THE MARCH OF
THE GIANTS
The March of the Giants is an exciting
and integral part of the festival. Four giant
pairs of kings and queens, each about four
metres high, are marched through the
narrow streets of Pamplona swathed in red
and white. The statues represent the four
parts of the world: Europe, Africa, Asia,
and the Americas.

As Formula 1 moves across the world,
is it moving away from the growth of the sport?
An in-depth look at the world of F1 over
the next few years.
by PR ASHANT KUMAR
the drama-filled race in spain at the famous circuit de

Barcelona-Catalunya was characteristic of Formula 1. Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton beat Ferraris Sebastian Vettel at the Gran Premio
de Espana Pirelli 2017, as Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo secured the
third podium position. However, just one car from each of these
teams finished the race, and Force Indias Sergio Perez and Esteban
Ocon closed out the top five. Valtteri Bottas, Kimi Rikknen,
Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso did not get the expected results,
and it was as gruelling a race as has been witnessed over the last
couple of years.
Yet, despite its immense popularity, Formula 1 remains in a
curious state. It is an exceptional promotional tool, with global
market penetration that most sports would die to have. It still
delivers the goods for the manufacturers and sponsors, if they can
afford it. If one looks at the kind of sponsors and the sort of money
required, you can see that it is not cheap, but it is effective and can
make a huge impact for a company willing to invest. The question
is: are companies being scared away from the sport because of the
way it operates, because it does not give them enough freedom to
do what they want to do? Or is it because it gives the impression
that it is squeezing every last cent out of the business? A lot of
