DOBRODOŠLI

Tko bi rekao da će nam nakon prvog broja i policija i povjerenstvo za gramati čka pitanja i moj šef dopusti ti da izdamo i drugi broj!?

Kao što smo obećali, ovoga puta manje promocije hotela, a više informacija i zabave – osim moga članka o Božiću, ko- jega sam napisao s namjerom ležernog komentara, a ne pokušaja prodaje. Premda će do vremena kada magazin izađe ionako biti “prekasno”.

Šala s početka ovog uvoda, u vezi policije, i nije tako daleko od isti ne, pogotovo kad je u pitanju poslovanje u ovoj zemlji. U poslovnom intervju, američki nam veleposlanik Foley na fascinantan način otkriva da poboljšanje poslovnog okruženja u Hrvatskoj čini fokus njegova mandata. No, osim ozbiljnih tema, za vas smo pripremili i ponešto iz umjet- nosti ; razgovarali smo s jednim od pionira crossovera – Maksimom Mrvicom. Zaista vrijedno čitanja.

Njegove su priče zaista zabavne, a neke čak i isti nite.

A podnaslov knjige, Ozbiljna hrvatska kuhinja sa zrnom soli, utjelovljuje naš rad u hotelu – ozbiljni smo u onome što radimo, ali nikada preozbiljni kad je riječ o nama samima.

Uglavnom tradicionalnih, staromodnih, s okusom secesije koji se ovdje, osobito u ranu jesen, javlja s posebnom slatkoćom, pa vam se čini da živite u velikom kolaču sa šlagom. I premda nas pogađa recesija i muči stoti nu stvari, uvijek ćemo naći vremena za kavicu, za knjigu, za prijatelja s kojim ćemo izmjenjivati vječne gradske priče jer, vrijedi napomenuti , ovdje i dalje svatko zna sve o svakome! Jednako tako, naći ćemo koji sat za izložbu, za šetnju, za samotno lutanje tugaljivim mjesti ma, uz neizbježne uzdahe da je nekoć sve bilo bolje, znajući da nije tako i da su živahan rast i bujanje našega grada najbolji dokaz za suprotno.

Mostly traditi onal, old-fashioned, with a touch of art deco; Zagreb has a unique sense of comfort, parti cularly in the early autumn giving you the feeling you live in a big cake topped with cream! And, although we have all been hit by the recession and have to worry about a million things, there’s always ti me for a cup of coff ee, a book or a friend with whom one can exchange the never- ending city stories - in this city everyone knows everyone! There will always be an hour or two for an exhibiti on, a stroll around the city, a walk in solitude through the quieter places and those unavoidable sighs intended to express how everything used to be bett er ‘’back then’’, even though we know that’s not the case and the lively development of this city just goes to show the opposite. However… 8 ŠETNJA ZAGREBOM | STROLL AROUND ZAGREB

Just around the corner there’s a completely diff erent propositi on - café bar Flores, a well-established café bar off ering delicious coff ees, latt es, cocoas and teas with Madeleine biscuits à la Marcel Proust and simply the best sandwiches and cakes in town. While the rest of the city was prett y much choking in smoke, the management of the café bar Flores chose to ban smoking.

Iako je u svjetskim razmjerima malen, Varaždin je bogato kulturno, društveno i obrazovno središte Hrvatske. Poznat je po baroku, cvijeću i glazbi te po brojnim kulturnim događanjima.

Although not a big city, Varaždin is a rich cultural, social and educati onal centre. It is known for the Baroque, fl owers, music and many cultural events.

U samom središtu grada, u Varšavskoj ulici nalazi se Kenzo trgovina, oaza luksuza i bezvremenskog sti la

Vrhunski materijali, podatne tkanine i meka pletiva samo su neki od segmenata kolekcije Kenzo. Ponudom prevladavaju modeli toplih boja, a ističemo narančastu, toplu smeđu, boju ciklame i karakterističnu - Kenzo plavu. Meke forme modela u ženskim kolekcijama u suprotnosti su sa klasičnim muškim krojevima osvježenim biranim modnim detaljima poput kapa, šalova i rukavica. Modni detalji poput torbica, cipela, šešira i rukavica ponudu zaokružuju u savršenu modnu cjelinu. - ACTUAL FASHION TRENDS

In the heart of the city centre, on Varšavska Street, you can fi nd a basti on of omnipresent style

High quality material, fitted fabric and soft knit work are the features of the new Kenzo collection. Light seasonal shades of orange, warm brown, cyclamen and the characteristic Kenzo blue are dominant in this season’s offer. Curvaceous women’s designs are in contrast to classic male cuts supported by carefully chosen accessorised hats, scarves and gloves, which complete the whole collection in one harmonic fashion story.
