Being a fan of kungfu movies, especially the profound interlinking of blocks and punches unique to Wing Chun, the obvious movie of choice for me during this period of time will be Ip Man 2 and not really Iron Man 2, though I would recommend most to simply watch both. With the relatively good plot, theme music and fighting scenes of Ip Man 1, there was much anticipation to the sequel of the first Ip Man movie.

Chinese businessman and investment fund manager Zhao Danyang paid close to US$2.1 millions for a lunch with Buffett. It seems expensive at first but after return back to China, stock prices of his company, WuMart become worth around US$16 millions more. Wumart is a retailing giant in China which Zhao Danyang firmly believes that it will one day be the Wal-Mart of China.
