Arigato Zomato

How quickly has 2015 flown by? It's crazy to think that we're already over halfway through the year; we're steaming ahead here at Bizcommunity Lifestyle. Top stories this week include an interview with the writer and director of Seun, one of the most important local films to be made according to movie buff Daniel Dercksen. Leigh Andrews attends the first ever Zomato editor's breakfast and gets the juicy details about this new restaurant rating app. Julia van Schalkwyk gets her petrol injection at Clarkson, Hammond & May Live and Dr Sarah Britton notes 10 unusual things that one would only find in Japan. Konichiwa Godzilla!

We've still got tickets to give away to Park Acoustics featuring Jack Parow, so if you haven't entered yet you'd better get onto it.

Julia van Schalkwyk
