ZoZuidas was set up by three Amsterdam girls working as M&A lawyers and bankers in the Amsterdam equivalent of the City of London. In a European capital that is notorious for its free trade, business was soaring up until 2008. Unfortunately, the lowlands suffered deeply from the crisis.

Office Lunch
Everyday when my colleague pops around the corner to ask me to come lunch, I sigh and take out my wallet.
The Apprentice
This morning I was attending a Bikram yoga class. Hyped by possibly the most scary fitness guru of all time (Madonna), Bikram yoga is more than your average stretching class for frutarians in harem pants. Bikram is boot camp.
