1. Fashion & Design Village
2. Food, Fun & Fitness Village
3. Accessories Village
4. DWC Houses & IT Village

Over the years, the benefits of green tea have increased greatly. Due to the large amount of different anit-oxidants present on the leaf, green tea has become a popular natural remedy.  From fighting cancer to tooth decay, here's why it's beneficial for you:

  2. Stabilizes cholestrol:  by converting the "bad" fatty acids-LDL- into its much better oxidized from therefore reducing risk of heart attacks and strokes.
  3. Encourages weight loss: by increasing metabolism upon drinking two cups a day.
  4. A natural antihistaminic: that prevents sneezing, coughing, and watery eyes when your body is exposed to certain allergens.  Green tea blocks the production of immunologlobulin and histamine therefore helping you manage your allergic reactions.
  5. Fights acne: as it contains great anti-bacterial properties and improves over-all skin texture and appearance.

Skyfall 007

Yesterday I went to Wafi Grand Cineplex Cinema and I watched Skyfall movie. The place was over crowded with the people standing in queues purchasing the ticket for the show.  I was very enthusiastic and eager to watch the movie as soon as it is released.  Skyfall is the twenty third spy film in the James Bond series. In Skyfall, Bond’s loyalty to M is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. As MI6 (Military Intelligence, Section6) comes under attack, 007 should track down and destroy the threat. A lot of action and thriller in the movie. 
Actually, I am fond of James Bond series and I have watched all the previous series of James Bond so I am recommending you to watch the Skyfall movie.
