Dear Shenzhen-er,
Going full fluff this week - no sensationalized negative news designed to ignite the fear centers of your brain today! Here's an interesting piece that caught my attention highlighting a popular brand amongst Chinese youth - Jellycat plush toys. Here are some options for foot exploring outside (with plenty of sunscreen) around Shenzhen and finally here's a short article covering the 'Citywalk' trend that's been growing across the country.
Our friends at Vista SK are still in the hunt for vendors for their september event - get in touch with them through our post if that's of interest to you. Some notable upcoming conventions include the Cafeex show starting the middle of this week - certainly worth a gander if you're in the industry or just a coffee affictionado - and SIALs global food summit (scheduled for 2 weeks out from now.) Thanks to those of you that participated in our MindBody Wellness group yesterday - it was quite a turnout! Hope to see more new faces next week!
-David & The NowShenzhen Team
P.S. - Thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas to Share? - please directly get in touch with me personally on wechat: david-d-ho.
