気がつけば秋。金色に輝きながら華麗な散りぎわを競う紅葉に照らされながら、落ち葉を踏みしめたい。
アマチュア写真家とロマンス中のカップルのために、ソウル市公園緑地管理局は「紅葉がもっとも美しいストリート」トップ80の公式リストを発表した。色鮮やかな絨毯を踏みしめながら、手をつないで歩くための、総延長137.69キロの通りが紹介されている。
チョスン イルボによれば、市は、11月中旬まで、「紅葉とロマンスを楽しむために」落ち葉の履き掃除は行わないよう発表した。
特にお勧めなのは、徳寿宮 (덕수궁)
から京鄕新聞ビルまでのルート、景福宮(경복궁)から三清洞公園
(삼청공원)へ向かう道、鍾路のイーストタワー (동십자각)
から三清洞トンネル(삼청터널)へ抜ける道だ。80
スポットのリストはこちらから（韓国語）。 var

C'mon Singapore, show us your bums!
Fri, 11/04/2011 - 04:51 — Anonymous Amanda Heng wants photos of naked bums,
lots of them. Heng, one of Singapore's most respected contemporary artists,
wants women to lift their skirts, and expose their bare bottoms.It's all in
the name of art and as part of her "Speak To Me, Walk With Me" solo
retrospective at contemporary art space SAM at 8Q (/8 Queen Street, +65 6332
3222; www.singaporeartmuseum.sg/). There's nothing smutty or porn-like
about it -- it's more about preserving your posteriors for, well,
posterity. Heng plans to use the pictures in a large-scale artwork to raise
questions about one's identity, both personal and cultural. var

Kanto with kids: The Tokyo area's best family outdoor adventures
Fri, 11/04/2011 - 04:55 — Anonymous Many equate the Kanto area with
Tokyo's vast concrete sprawl. But the seven-prefecture region -- home to 42
million people -- extends from vertiginous, pine-clad mountains in Gunma in
the north to the semitropical Ogasawara Islands in the south.This means
plenty of adventures await within its 32,000 square kilometers. Here are five
of the best, road-tested by our resident parents. Raft the Tone River In
addition to supplying Tokyo with drinking water, Japan's second longest
river also provides some of the best white-water rafting in the country.
During spring snowmelt -- and this year in late summer thanks to unusually
heavy rains -- the river boasts adrenaline-inducing grade-four rapids. var

The odd reality behind Shanghai's Pyongyang restaurants
Fri, 11/04/2011 - 04:57 — Anonymous For most North Koreans, foreign travel
isn't just avoided, it is prohibited -- mainly out of the fear that any
contact with the outside world would provide the possibility of unraveling a
lifetime of systematic inculcation. But how are the staff at Shanghai's
Pyongyang restaurants -- a chain of restaurants found across Asia that
employs North Koreans abroad -- kept in check? The odd experience served up
to Chinese and foreign customers may give some clues. Quick facts Pyongyang
restaurants are part of a chain run by the North Korean government. They
serve mostly familiar Korean dishes (excluding North Korean cold noodles, or
naengmyeon) accompanied by warbling songs and dance performances. var

15 ways to see the world on water
Fri, 11/04/2011 - 05:00 — Anonymous Three quarters of the world's surface
is water, but nearly all our vacations are based on land. It stands to reason
that we must be missing out. Luckily there are some fantastic ways to see the
wet face of the planet. 1. Explore the pristine coves of Tierra del Fuego
This journey around the foot of Patagonia is one of the most unusual
experiences on earth. The expedition ships of Cruceros Australis bring
passengers close to soaring condors, penguin colonies and glaciers. Expert
on-board briefings segue into party nights around the free bar -- that
includes the whisky waiting to welcome expeditioners back to their dinghy

九龍的9個最佳體驗
Fri, 11/04/2011 - 05:00 — Anonymous
對比起港島區這「文質彬彬」的白天鵝，粗野、混雜、調皮的九龍便是黑天鵝。
可是不像黑天鵝，九龍不邪惡陰險，你花多點時間認識它，九龍其實很友善可愛。九龍於1860年割讓給英國，數百年來本是漁農民聚居之地。
相傳「九龍」這地名是宋帝昺取自九龍北部的八條山脈。
那第九條龍，當然是皇帝自己。
昔日天之驕子為這裡取下如此堂皇的名字，我們就推薦九個體驗九龍的方法。*CNNGo
帶您看更多： 45個香港獨家景點攻略*1. 舉杯賞景
雖然香港大部份具標誌性的摩天大廈均位於港島，但九龍才是飽覽其景的最佳地點。在尖沙咀那些新一代的天際酒吧賞景更是一絕。
18樓的囂吧和30樓的 Eyebar
以寬敞的露天座和開闊的海港景色伴你手中那杯雞尾酒。
預先訂座為佳。
可是，想感受真正居高臨下的飄飄然，未有地方比得上在
ICC 118樓的 Ozone Sky Bar，只要天朗氣清便能俯瞰整個港島。
有畏高的朋友或許會更欣賞腳踏實地的 Deck 'n'
Beer，坐到近星光大道的海旁雅座，以水平角度欣賞維港景色。

New fear for flood-hit Thais: Green mambas
Thu, 11/03/2011 - 12:16 — Anonymous A couple of weeks ago we were worried
about escaped crocodiles. Now flood-hit Nonthaburi, on the outskirts of
Bangkok, is dealing with another breed of deadly fugitives -- 15 green
mambas. Officials announced Wednesday that 15 highly venomous African snakes
-- two adults and 13 young -- escaped from a flooded building in
Nonthaburi's Pak Kret district on Tuesday night. The adults are reportedly
two meters long, while the young ones measure one meter in length. var

致命武器： 與世上最後一名忍者「交手」
Thu, 11/03/2011 - 05:00 — Anonymous 世上最後一名忍者並不難找。
他就住在近東京的千葉縣野田市，在火車路軌下、一間自己開設的「武神館」道場教授弟子。
道場內氣氛沉著神秘，牆上掛著一列肖像、點著蠟燭以及滿架不可思議的鋒利武器﹣﹣彷如在兵器庫裡的藝廊裡的聖地。
週日下午，初見良昭大師就在這房間的中心教授好學的弟子。
忍術不一定充滿秘密，但一定滿是苦頭。
而今天就是我的第一課。
初見大師即席向一名廿多歲年輕壯健的澳洲學生出招，並透過翻譯說道：「做得正確的話，可使他的臉頰斷裂。」
熟能「致命」**初見大師年底便80歲了，可是修練逾半世紀的他，仍自稱是位學生。資歷深厚的他是逾10萬名「武神館武道體術」追隨者的師父和精神領袖。
學徒大多為外國人，專程到野田市朝聖，跟初見大師學習。

Serious about globalizing Korean food? Then stop watering it down
Thu, 11/03/2011 - 03:18 — Anonymous "Globalization of Korean food" is a
phrase the government has bandied about for years. The mission to promote
Korean cuisine around the world has been taken on with enthusiasm by everyone
from First Lady Kim Yoon-ok to the goofy cast of the TV show "Infinite
Challenge." The problem? Seriously backward tactics. Take, for example, a

favorite local dish. var OutbrainPermaLink =

works, though, are collected by some of the world's most famous faces,

8 secret acupoints to cure your travel ills

acupressure.Acupressure is the practice of pressing or massaging certain
points on the body said to stimulate self-curative abilities. For each of the
points descibed below, you may need to press or rub the point in 20-30 second

至高のひと切れ 伝説の神戸牛
Wed, 11/02/2011 - 04:00 — Anonymous
「神戸牛を真に理解するには、注意深く、良く噛んで、その質感を堪能してください」というのは、赤坂にある神戸牛懐石511の料理長を務める斎藤充彦氏だ。
そう話しながら、彼は、指を上下に動かして、噛む動作を真似て見せた。まるでパペット使いがパックマンをスロー再生するかのような仕草である。
「言うまでもなく神戸牛と他の和牛の最大の違いは、脂肪の香りです」と彼は続ける。
うなずきながら、私は銀座の最高級割烹料理屋で最高品質の神戸牛に初めて出会った時のことを思い出していた。
その頃、私は懐疑的だった。
それまで多種多様なステーキを楽しんだ経験から、神戸牛に関しては本当に特別な点は価格だけだろうと、くってかかっていたのだ。
だが一口食べるとそれは考え違いであったことを悟った。
きれいな焼き色がついた肉はバターのようにまろやかに溶け、ドーパミンを誘う旨味が口いっぱいに広がったのだ。
これは強烈な経験であった。幼少時代、初めてアイスクリームを味わったときの衝撃を思いだした。
料理というより芸術
神戸牛は、名高い、日本の美味である。
その名を出すだけで、デカダンスのイメージが漂うほどだ。
最高級の神戸牛には、最大25％の脂肪が含まれる。しゃぶしゃぶにするため、それを薄切りにしたものは、ステーキというより繊細なレース作品のようだ。

Kyoto without the crowds: Escape like a local
Wed, 11/02/2011 - 04:55 — Anonymous Japan's ancient capital Kyoto draws
crowds of visitors at all times of the year with its sheer abundance of
attractions. Countless temples, traditional gardens and Imperial villas
appeal to tourists of all stripes. Still, it can sometimes be a little much
-- whisper it quietly, but there are far too many interesting places to even
try and pack them all in on one trip and far too many eager travelers trying
to do so anyway. Instead, insiders often prefer to explore some of the

Alexis Ong： 「佔領新加坡」徹底失敗皆因這裡是新加坡
Wed, 11/02/2011 - 05:00 — Anonymous
還未得悉此事的，讓我告訴你，「佔領新加坡」行動徹底失敗。
不僅沒有人﹣﹣幾乎沒有人吧﹣﹣響應 Facebook 上的號召到
Raffles Place
聚集，而且網上對活動失敗的報導，還反映出新加坡網民對霸權由標誌性的譏諷變成一時衝動的空談而已。
更差的是，有一本地 blog 聲稱，原報名參與「佔領Raffles
Place」抗議行動的參與者，最後卻轉到另一開玩笑「佔領Ben
and Jerry's
Chunkfest」﹣﹣的宣傳推廣活動。美食與政治，對於許多新加坡人來說，一點也不難抉擇。
連馬來西亞的「佔領吉隆坡」行動也不失禮地有200人出席。
有些國家的人民，從小受教育灌輸其站出來發聲的權利，在那些國家透過
Facebook 發起運動大概可行。
可是新加坡並不是這樣一個國家。
我們的教育制度是個只看數字的機器。
學校教導我們社會只重視可計量的成就，抽象的社會責任感和政治參與度等一般都被掩蓋。
這些是塑造一個社會其選舉文化的決定性因素。
我們要熱心公益，卻也要被動順從。
我們表揚個性，卻不稱許個人。

Eye in the sky: Climbing the new Tokyo Sky Tree
Tue, 11/01/2011 - 15:24 — Anonymous I don't often feel short in Tokyo --
I'm practically a giant here at 190 centimeters. But standing under the new
Tokyo Sky Tree makes me feel positively miniscule. At 634 meters, the Sky
Tree is now the tallest tower in the world. It's as imposing as Godzilla
but multiple monsters in height. So, when owner Tobu Railway invited press to
this steel colossus in Sumida Ward near Asakusa, I jumped at the chance.
I'd seen it from afar many times, but was still hit by an
ant-versus-mountain awe I got at the bottom. Donning a hard hat, I walked
through a forest of giant steel tubes -- the Sky Tree's exterior steel mesh
