So Long, Farewell
2008; the official international year of the frog, the potato, sanitation, and Planet Earth. And in between Presidential Elections and Olympics, Black Holes and Britney, all that, we still found time to bring you the pick of the latest bars, trends, shop launches, and restaurant reviews, and pack your weekends full of cultural, clubalicious distractions till you begged us to stop. Well now we have. For a couple of weeks, at least.
But fear not. Whilst we’re off for the Christmas hols, we leave you, dear readers, with our smashing guide to the best New Year’s Eve happenings, some Christmas cheer , and one Hell of a sales list.
So, spend, celebrate and rejoice in all that is festive. We’ll see you on the other side.
Happy Holidays.
Xx, Team UJ
