Like a vision sent by God, the dramatic graphic renders of the 2029 Asian Winter Games allow us to imagine what heaven must look like.

The weather is like New Delhi in December, 23°C in the day and 12°C at night, but machines powered by a giant green-hydrogen plant will allow fresh snow engineered from sea-water to carpet the concrete ski-slopes at all times.
The Financial Times reported today that the British government has extended an invitation to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to visit London.
