APEC recap: The outings and soirees
What a week for Honolulu, with world leaders converging on the island for the much-anticipated APEC summit. As an entertainment website, we set out to offer an inside look of some of the APEC-related outings and parties. Nonstop blogger/photographer Ed Morita took full advantage of his press credential to deliver much of this coverage. We also partnered with Civil Beat, sharing APEC content and tips. If you haven’t taken a look at their comprehensive, outstanding coverage this week, you really should browse the site.
