satisfy all the senses

Sight

Marketing art

A selection of   innovative TV  ads from around the world are featured in The Art of Commercials programme.   It includes   campaigns  by  brands such as adidas, IKEA and McDonalds. The ads are divided into five separate programmes which will be screened between November 12 and December 7 at  Hong Kong Arts Centre's Agnes b. Cinema.  Tickets  at $40 (adults) and $25 (students)  available from Urbtix on 2734 9009.

Sound

Exotic rhythms

The Majestic Drums IV, a percussion concert presented by the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra will be held at 7.30pm on Friday and Saturday at  Sha Tin Town Hall's concert hall. The concert will feature a rich cultural mix of exotic music by drummers from India, Korea and Hong Kong.  Tickets are available at all Urbtix outlets at $200, $180, $130 and $100, with half-price concessions for students.

Taste

Hot and healthy

With the  winter season approaching, now is the time to enjoy a hot bowl of red bean paste.  It is a sweet dessert that - according to Chinese medicine philosophy - can heat up  the body and is especially good for people  with a pale face or prone to feeling cold. You can  add a chunk of firm sweet tofu  to the paste to  make the dish  smoother in texture.

Touch

On the ball

The Harlem Globetrotters,  a team of world-class basketball players from the US, will  thrill Hong Kong's basketball maniacs with their unique blend of acrobatics, comedy and   exceptional skills.  They will hold an exhibition match at 7.30pm on  Wednesday and Thursday  at Southorn Stadium. Tickets priced at $650, $425 and $225 are  available from HK Ticketing on 31 288 288.

Smell

A novel smell

Good books are not only for reading - they also exude a fragrance for sniffing. Books from different countries have distinctive smells, due to  the different kinds of wood from which the paper comes from.  Penguin  paperbacks tend to  bear a unique musky scent. Some people compare book smelling to perfume appreciation;  both require  a passion for something that is  sophisticated and exquisite.

6th Sense

Spiritual talk

What place does spirituality have in  a busy and materialistic  life? Find out    at a free public talk by Lama Khemsar Rinpoche - an eminent teacher of yungdrung bon - from 7.30 to 9pm on Friday at Fringe Club. Yungdrung bon, which means eternal light or enlightened teaching, is   based on the principle of practicing unconditional love and compassion.  For reservations, call Miss Koo on 2822 5536.
