If bigger is
better, than Bulgari gets top prize. The
luxury Italian jewellery has just opened its largest jewellery store in Tokyo's Ginza
district. The 10-storey  building has a VIP
lounge, and floors showcasing jewels, watches and accessories, as
well as a restaurant, bar and bridal salon. Next year, the Ginza
tower will also showcase Bulgari's new skin care line and
in-store beauty treatments. The two store mark the 20th
anniversary of Bulgari's debut in the Japanese market. But
Bulgari isn't the only luxury brand moving into the area; earlier

Dunhill will open its Ginza store later this month....

I frequently
slip in and out of a hotel without so much as a peep. With today's automated
check-in kiosks, voice activated wake-up calls, and key-activated 24-hour fitness
centers, I can be remarkably self-reliant while on the road, and even somewhat anonymous.

It's easy to
feel at home when travelling to familiar cities, and travel is always easier
when you speak the local language. But when traveling to unfamiliar places, I
can be at the mercy of a hotel, for just about everything: strange plugs that might
fry my laptop, restaurants with English menus, directions, flagging a taxi. Thankfully,
at The Four Seasons at Marunouchi, Tokyo...
