From now until the middle of March, Asia is an eventfest of Food, Fashion, Festivals and Flowers. Take one of these holidays to China, Hong Kong,  Japan or India and you’ll never look at the F-word the same way again… 

Food! We all know India has many scrumptious dishes, but it’s such a huge country, you could never get around to tasting them all. Unless you gorge and learn at the Aahar Food Fair in Delhi from March 10-14 where there are live demonstrations to help you expand your talents beyond cooking papadums in the microwave.

Reflect on the day’s culinary exploits at the swishy yet relaxing bar at the Park Hotel New Delhi and then chill out in your luxurious air-conditioned room.

Fashion! Shanghai folks love all things designer. See what inspires them at the ‘Culture Chanel’ exhibition from January 15 to March 14. There are over 400 pieces, including garments, fragrances, films and photographs, all showing inspiration for Coco’s creations.

To fit into those inspiring New Look fashions one must work out—just as well the JC Mandarin Hotel Shanghai has a gymnasium and a swimming pool to go with the onsite pastry laden café.

Festival! The Hounen Matsuri (aka the ‘penis festival’) in Tagata Japan on March 15, is more than just a bunch of parading giant phalluses. It’s about preserving the memory of Japanese culture and worship of the earth and fertility—even if they do sell celebratory lollypops!

In Shizuoka, the Okura Act City Hotel Hamamatsu is the perfect place to, um, hang out.

Flowers! For one of the mostly densely populated areas of the world, Hong Kong takes its green thumb seriously at the Hong Kong Flower Show from March 11-20. Not only are there amazing flower arrangements, but you can wander through garden landscapes and see art exhibits that deluge the senses. Plus there are games and workshops to get involved in.

As a lover of greenery, you’ll be impressed by the Kimberley Hotel —they even have an onsite golf-driving range.
