			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2211" title="Highlife Asia" src="http://www.shanghailiving.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Highlife-Asia.png" alt="Highlife Asia" width="233" height="109" />Highlife Asia is a luxury concierge and lifestyle management company based in Shanghai that operates globally and assists clients with their personal and corporate lifestyle challenges. A team of seasoned expats and Chinese professionals utilizes cultural and industry knowledge and a network of leading global luxury brands and service providers to help clients manage their luxury travel, boutique events, and lifestyle arrangements. All services are confidential and highly personalized to fit individual requests. Highlife Asia has the concierge resources in place to help with everything from male grooming to luxury VIP shopping trips to London and the attainment of limited edition or hard-to-find luxury items globally.</p>
<p>Highlife Asia was launched in Shanghai in early 2012 by Mark Byrne, a Lifestyle Director with over 12 years of experience in the industry. Byrne utilized his expertise in luxury travel, event and lifestyle management to develop a service-oriented and highly personalized concierge service in Asia. Through Highlife Asia, Byrne maintains an unrivaled commitment to delivering the most efficient, tailored, and sophisticated assistance to help customers handle their corporate and personal lifestyle challenges.</p>
<p>Highlife Asia’s services are extensive and highly customized. The company assists clients with their personal and corporate arrangements for lifestyle management, event management, and luxury travel. “We assist with everything from matching local clients with luxury jewelers to arranging for celebrities to attend events, in addition to our premium male and female grooming services,” Mark Byrne remarked. With a network of global luxury brands and leading service providers, Highlife Asia has the reach to adequately handle multiple requests. The company’s portfolio also includes 40 private jets in Southeast Asia, 60 private jets in Europe, 5 star resort villas worldwide, couture gowns, limited edition accessories and a vast amount of luxury goods in every major cosmopolitan city around the globe. Byrne explained, “As the Chinese become more sophisticated in their tastes and preferences for luxury goods, our global portfolio of suppliers continually expands.”</p>
<p><strong>Our philosophy is simple:</strong></p>
<p>We are a concierge service that provides clients with the greatest luxury of all, time. We believe that it is our duty to supply leading, timely, and reliable customer service to maximize the enjoyment and comfort in our clients’ lives. Our Lifestyle Managers pride themselves on their adaptability, dependability, and cultural awareness to accomplish that task. They are equipped to adequately handle client requests worldwide.</p>
<p>“There is nothing more valuable in life than the luxury of time. Highlife Asia stresses premium assistance through which the appropriate service options may be carefully and accurately sourced for clients in the least taxing and time-efficient manner. I created this organization because I believe in not just good, but solid customer service that saves people time and directs them comfortably to exactly where they want or need to go.”-Mark Byrne</p>
<p><strong>To highlight Highlife Asia’s extensive capabilities in male grooming</strong>, the company is currently conducting a three-part feature with a print publication in Shanghai. The feature includes the comprehensive enhancement of the appearance, style, conduct, and overall wellbeing of a young male professional in a 6-week period, through utilizing a range of the company’s leading suppliers, styling professionals, and concierge resources. The enthusiastic client will receive everything from fashion styling assistance from a Lifestyle Manager to intensive workouts with personal trainers and dental whitening from professional orthodontists. In addition to the physical styling and renovation of the client’s wardrobe, he will be given strict instruction in eating from a trained dietician and lessons in projection management and public interaction from the relevant suppliers. Byrne exclaimed, “Through coordinating with leading suppliers and utilizing specialized techniques, we are able to transform the ‘Average Joe’ into a confident, modern-day man.”</p>
<p><strong>Special Offer - New York Fashion Week</strong></p>
<p>Chinese and expat fashionistas look to the fashion capital of New York with wonder and intense anticipation for the upcoming event. Highlife Asia has responded to their enthusiasm for the Big Apple by sourcing with the appropriate suppliers and service providers to develop an exclusive itinerary and Mercedes-Benz Fashion show experience for Chinese and expat travelers.</p>
<p>“We stand poised and ready to bring Chinese and expat clients to the Big Apple for an unforgettable, VIP experience that will leave them with only the sharpest understanding of cutting-edge fashion and glamorous living in the city that never sleeps, “ Byrne enthusiastically exclaimed. “We will set them up with the private luxury jet of their choice or with business or first class travel onboard one of our suppliers to start the entire experience in the utmost level of comfort and sophistication. Upon arrival in the big city, our clients will be treated to the finest accommodations at hotels such as the W and provided with private shopping sprees down Fifth Avenue of the Upper East Side. They will sit front and center at VIP events for the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and indulge in any number of further comforts to add icing to the top of a truly exclusive VIP experience. A Lifestyle Manager will accompany them to New York to assist with shopping and arrangements as requested.”</p>
<p>The upcoming New York Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week from September 6th through the 13th 2012 will include a number of hot names to showcase the 2013 spring collections. Vera Wang, Tory Burch, and DKNY will be present to name a few top brands as well as up-and-coming brands that will surely dazzle and impress attendees.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2188" title="Bubbas Food" src="http://www.shanghailiving.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/bubbas-food-300x221.png" alt="Bubbas Food" width="300" height="221" /> Bubba&#8217;s is Shanghai&#8217;s only true Texas-style barbeque joint and saloon, serving authentic smoked meats and traditional barbeque sides from 3 locations: Bubba&#8217;s Hong Qiao, Bubba&#8217;s Expo Village, and Bubba&#8217;s Riverside @ Cool Docks 2.</p>
<p>We offer great food, music, and atmosphere for those seeking a true &#8220;Southern/Southwest&#8221; experience in Shanghai, and cater barbeque events and parties around the city.</p>
<ul>
<li>Home of NCAA Football in China</li>
<li>Host of Shanghai&#8217;s Annual Chili Cook-off</li>
<li>Host of Shanghai&#8217;s Annual Barbeque Cook-off</li>
</ul>
<p>Bubba&#8217;s was founded in 2006 by Austinite (Texas) Ken Walker, who uses his own proprietary rubs and sauces to smoke meat like he did back in Austin from his high school days. A gap in the restaurant market was filled when he opened Bubba&#8217;s as nobody could, and still can&#8217;t, do true Texas/Southern style barbeque in the city.</p>
<p>Bubba&#8217;s has nightly specials and lunch deals, and hosts several very popular annual events, such as the Annual Shanghai Chili Cook-off, the Annual Shanghai Barbecue Cook-off, and a significant Annual Fourth of July party. Check the website for details.</p>
<p>Each year Bubba&#8217;s is nominated by Shanghai&#8217;s cuisine media as one of the top five American restaurants in the city. It recently was awarded Shanghai&#8217;s Top Five Burger Spots in Shanghai by CityWeekend (it actually placed Second).</p>
<p>The restaurant industry in Shanghai is highly competitive and consumers have a lot of choices. We remain popular by providing good values for high quality products and good service.</p>
<p>We commit to serving the highest quality smoked meats, great value for money, and good all around service to our customers, We can barbeque anything! Including suckling pigs, whole ribeye roasts, turkeys, and our own house brined hams.</p>
