"S-H-O-P-P-I-N-G, we're shopping" sang the Pet Shop Boys and we listened. Shopping is exactly what we did for the December issue of the Beijinger to bring you a Cover Feature that's jam-packed full of a whole heap of wholesale and specialty markets in the city. There's tips on where to go and when plus handy advice for picking up a bargain. Whether you're after a pig, a poncho, a plate or a plant we've got the lowdown on where you should go down to just in the nick of time for the holiday season.
Elsewhere in the issue we bring you a focus on "Green" Shopping and a handy holiday gift guide for those who don't want to ruin the environment for the sake of a present that will likely end up in a cupboard. We've also got our bellies full after some in-depth reporting into the world of Christmas cakes, festive red wines, ho-ho-hot pot and a step-by-step for do-it-yourself eggnog. We've also had a chat with some madcap snowboarders, Mr. Duck of the legendary Goose & Duck and a pair of French electronica stars who call themselves Curry & Coco. As if that wasn't hip enough for you there's also a feature on hipster-paradise Melbourne. Strewth.
Also under the tree this month is the usual mix of new bars, restaurants and shops plus all of your old favorites like Ich Bin Ein Beijinger and a new look for Fashion 5-0. Get a copy of the December issue while you can or download the PDFs below.
