From Cat Buses and adoptable puppies to bougie exercise classes and neon light exhibitions, here are the neatest things to see and do this week.

1/8 My Style, My Ghibli Exhibition (Last Call)

If you love Studio Ghibli films and haven’t been to the Ghibli pop-up exhibition at Central World yet, this is your last shot. Line up to take pictures inside the Cat Bus and learn more about Hayao Miyazaki’s company through multimedia installations. Hosted in collaboration with Uniqlo, there’s plenty of merch on sale as well if you’re an avid collector. Entry is free of charge and the last day for viewing is March 27.

2/8 HermèsFit in Bangkok

Get the Hermès experience with a fitness twist. Utilising Hermès accessories, coaches will guide you through a series of exercises, from belt stretching to hat balance. Each experience takes 45 minutes, and you’re welcome to take breaks at their juice bar. The best part: the admission is completely free, though bookings are recommended.

Ladies’ night is finally back at Havana Social Club every Thursday. Grab some artisanal Cuban bites and a glass of either a mojito or a Cuba libre, because you will want to be dancing all night. The DJ comes on at 7pm, while the Latin live band takes the stage at 9pm.
