The building company Hong Kong Housing is building a new suburb in Shanghai, a city with a population of more than 15 million people But this suburb is not like other parts of Shanghai It is a little piece of England The name of the new area is "English Town" The manager of Hong Kong Housing, Shi Guangsheng, says many people in this area of China want to buy an English house and live in an English town

"This town is like Bristol or Chester There is an English square and there are pigeons to feed like in Trafalgar Square, London There are four English-style pubs and you can buy English beer to drink There is a canal and youcan row a boat there like in Cambridge."

Are there any cricket fields? "No, there aren't any places to play cricket because nobody in Shanghai can play this game But there is a football stadium like those in England And the thing we are very proud of is our shopping street There are several shops where you can buy traditional English food like fish and chips or Christmas Pudding."

The rich Shanghai businessman can do some gardening too For with every house in "English Town", there is an English lawn and there are long gardens with ponds and tall hedges

But there is one problem The houses in this part of town cost a minimum of $400,000!

Considering their wedding cost over $20,000 and took a year and a half to organize, you would be surprised to hear that Richard and Victoria Hammond now intend to forget it Well, almost

"It was a wonderful wedding, an unbelievable day," says Victoria "But we have so much we want to do together now, we are both looking to the future." Her husband, banker and amateur race driver Richard, agrees "Both ourminds are now fixed firmly on the future I'll never forget our wedding ceremony or the reception we had at a cliff-side hotel afterwards, but there's so much we want, so many hopes Our marriage is so much more important than the wedding."

"At the moment, we are still living with my parents," explains Victoria, "so our first wish is to find our own place We intend to start looking for a new house with all the modern conveniences in the suburbs in the new year." BothVictoria and husband Richard have a lot of siblings Do they intend to add to the extended Hammond family? "We plan on having two or three children ourselves," Richard tells me "Victoria is just wonderful with children and I can get 3 years paternity leave from my work, which is just perfect."

The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon spent in an authentic Scottish castle Both the newly-weds are big travel lovers and Richard hopes this will continue "I would like to go travelling as much as possible together Travelling with someone else is such a sharing experience I think it's sad to experience all the wonderful places in the world and have no-one else there." Victoria also has another great travel ambition that she might have to do alone "I have always been fascinated by safari and my real wish is to go on safari Richard has no interest in wildlife though."

And what about the marriage itself? In a world with such a high divorce rate, how do Richard and Victoria hope to avoid all the problems that beset so many other couples? Richard explains thoughtfully that "our ambition is to always talk to each other If you stop communicating, what chance do you have?" His wife goes along with that completely "I hope that we can speak about things, but also not expect everything to be easy I think many people expect the wedding to be the end of getting to know each other I think it's the start."

"It was a wonderful wedding, an unbelievable day," says Victoria "But we have so much we want to do together now, we are both looking to the future." Her husband, banker and amateur race driver Richard, agrees "Both ourminds are now fixed firmly on the future I'll never forget our wedding ceremony or the reception we had at a cliff-side hotel afterwards, but there's so much we want, so many hopes Our marriage is so much more important than the wedding."

"At the moment, we are still living with my parents," explains Victoria, "so our first wish is to find our own place We intend to start looking for a new house with all the modern conveniences in the suburbs in the new year." BothVictoria and husband Richard have a lot of siblings Do they intend to add to the extended Hammond family? "We plan on having two or three children ourselves," Richard tells me "Victoria is just wonderful with children and I can get 3 years paternity leave from my work, which is just perfect."

The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon spent in an authentic Scottish castle Both the newly-weds are big travel lovers and Richard hopes this will continue "I would like to go travelling as much as possible together Travelling with someone else is such a sharing experience I think it's sad to experience all the wonderful places in the world and have no-one else there." Victoria also has another great travel ambition that she might have to do alone "I have always been fascinated by safari and my real wish is to go on safari Richard has no interest in wildlife though."

And what about the marriage itself? In a world with such a high divorce rate, how do Richard and Victoria hope to avoid all the problems that beset so many other couples? Richard explains thoughtfully that "our ambition is to always talk to each other If you stop communicating, what chance do you have?" His wife goes along with that completely "I hope that we can speak about things, but also not expect everything to be easy I think many people expect the wedding to be the end of getting to know each other I think it's the start."

For one group of children aged between ten and fifteen, Saturdays are spent learning the art of serious cooking Their weekly lessons in small classes are so popular that there is a waiting list of 30 children who want to do the course Parents pay $ 280 for the course where their children can have fun and learn how to make good food,

Class member Bill, aged ten, says, ‘I love my mum’s cooking and now I can do it better than her The teachers make us laugh, especially when we sit down with them to share the good we’ve made’

Flora is twelve, and she’s having problems preparing onions ‘I love cooking I did a meal for ten friends which they really enjoyed Then my mum suggested I take up a hobby, instead of doing nothing at weekends I was happy staying at home, so I wasn’t too keen at first I’m really glad I decided to come, though’

Their teacher, Phillipe, says, ‘It’s great fun Children pay attention and remember things better than adults, although the kitchen isn’t always as tidy when they’re cooking! As adults, we’re always learning more about food If parents interest their children in cooking while they are young, they’ll have enough skill to make food for themselves when they leave home

Considering their wedding cost over $20,000 and took a year and a half to organize, you would be surprised to hear that Richard and Victoria Hammond now intend to forget it Well, almost

"It was a wonderful wedding, an unbelievable day," says Victoria "But we have so much we want to do together now, we are both looking to the future." Her husband, banker and amateur race driver Richard, agrees "Both ourminds are now fixed firmly on the future I'll never forget our wedding ceremony or the reception we had at a cliff-side hotel afterwards, but there's so much we want, so many hopes Our marriage is so much more important than the wedding."

"At the moment, we are still living with my parents," explains Victoria, "so our first wish is to find our own place We intend to start looking for a new house with all the modern conveniences in the suburbs in the new year." BothVictoria and husband Richard have a lot of siblings Do they intend to add to the extended Hammond family? "We plan on having two or three children ourselves," Richard tells me "Victoria is just wonderful with children and I can get 3 years paternity leave from my work, which is just perfect."

The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon spent in an authentic Scottish castle Both the newly-weds are big travel lovers and Richard hopes this will continue "I would like to go travelling as much as possible together Travelling with someone else is such a sharing experience I think it's sad to experience all the wonderful places in the world and have no-one else there." Victoria also has another great travel ambition that she might have to do alone "I have always been fascinated by safari and my real wish is to go on safari Richard has no interest in wildlife though."

And what about the marriage itself? In a world with such a high divorce rate, how do Richard and Victoria hope to avoid all the problems that beset so many other couples? Richard explains thoughtfully that "our ambition is to always talk to each other If you stop communicating, what chance do you have?" His wife goes along with that completely "I hope that we can speak about things, but also not expect everything to be easy I think many people expect the wedding to be the end of getting to know each other I think it's the start."

Statement: Victoria thinks she now knows Richard sufficiently well

Considering their wedding cost over $20,000 and took a year and a half to organize, you would be surprised to hear that Richard and Victoria Hammond now intend to forget it Well, almost

"It was a wonderful wedding, an unbelievable day," says Victoria "But we have so much we want to do together now, we are both looking to the future." Her husband, banker and amateur race driver Richard, agrees "Both ourminds are now fixed firmly on the future I'll never forget our wedding ceremony or the reception we had at a cliff-side hotel afterwards, but there's so much we want, so many hopes Our marriage is so much more important than the wedding."

"At the moment, we are still living with my parents," explains Victoria, "so our first wish is to find our own place We intend to start looking for a new house with all the modern conveniences in the suburbs in the new year." BothVictoria and husband Richard have a lot of siblings Do they intend to add to the extended Hammond family? "We plan on having two or three children ourselves," Richard tells me "Victoria is just wonderful with children and I can get 3 years paternity leave from my work, which is just perfect."

The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon spent in an authentic Scottish castle Both the newly-weds are big travel lovers and Richard hopes this will continue "I would like to go travelling as much as possible together Travelling with someone else is such a sharing experience I think it's sad to experience all the wonderful places in the world and have no-one else there." Victoria also has another great travel ambition that she might have to do alone "I have always been fascinated by safari and my real wish is to go on safari Richard has no interest in wildlife though."

And what about the marriage itself? In a world with such a high divorce rate, how do Richard and Victoria hope to avoid all the problems that beset so many other couples? Richard explains thoughtfully that "our ambition is to always talk to each other If you stop communicating, what chance do you have?" His wife goes along with that completely "I hope that we can speak about things, but also not expect everything to be easy I think many people expect the wedding to be the end of getting to know each other I think it's the start."

Statement: Richard can temporarily leave his job to look after his children
