7 ways to love winter in Korea

Tue, 12/06/2011 - 04:55 — Anonymous As anyone who has wintered in Seoul
will tell you, Korean weather can be brutal. Cold, windy and dry, winter is a
nightmare for skin care. January in Seoul can make you wonder if humans were
meant to hibernate after all.  But fight the cold-induced lethargy, put on a
coat and go outside. Not only do you save on heating and cable bills, but
more importantly, these exclusively winter activities will make it worth it.

Secrets to a tasty Aussie barbecue

Tue, 12/06/2011 - 02:58 — Anonymous Barbecuing was first documented in the
15th century, among indigenous in the Bahamas, but it's fair to say it's

Japanese tourist industry breathes seasonal sigh of relief

Mon, 12/05/2011 - 13:08 — Anonymous New figures from the national travel
industry itself suggest the March disasters in northeast Japan have had no
impact at all on people's plans to hit the road over the holiday season.
According to JTB -- one of the biggest agencies in Japan -- more than 30
million people, or almost a quarter of the population, intend to travel for
pleasure during the Christmas and New Year period. That's 1.5 percent up on
last year -- not much, but evidence of an end to the "restraint" that's
plagued the travel business since March 11.read more

Jan Bartelsman: 'I want to make you hungry with photos'

Mon, 12/05/2011 - 16:00 — Anonymous Jan Bartelsman was handed a camera on
his 11th birthday; during his teens, he picked up cooking. Little did he know
he would eventually combine both and become a food photographer. "I was doing
a lot of photography and was shooting the dishes at the little restaurant I
worked in -- it was not so easy," says Bartelsman. "At some point, I quit
all the cooking for photography." That was quarter of a century ago. Now 53,
Bartelsman has published many photography books as well as two restaurant
guides, "Dining in Amsterdam" and "Dining in New York City."read more

Christian Vanneque and the world's most expensive bottle of white wine

Mon, 12/05/2011 - 10:47 — Anonymous For 62-year-old Christian Vanneque, a
love of wine has taken him to one particularly unexpected place: the Guinness
Book of World Records. Vanneque became the owner of the most expensive
bottle of white wine ever sold when he paid US$117,000 for a bottle of 1811
Château d'Yquem earlier this year. The gaudy buy caps an impressive
wine-industry career. At the tender age of 20, Vanneque was head sommelier
at Paris' famed three-Michelin star La Tour d'Argent, making him
France's youngest chef sommelier, and in charge, at the time, of the
largest restaurant wine cellar in the world.read more

Adopt a Chinese baby, move to China

Mon, 12/05/2011 - 04:57 — Anonymous From the four corners of the earth,
hopeful couples travel to China, whether to fulfil a longing to become
parents or simply to add another child to their family. The bitter-sweet
adoption odyssey is lengthy and packed with emotion -- but ultimately
incredibly rewarding.Since the central government began allowing foreigners
to adopt Chinese babies in 1992, international families have been required to
finalize the adoption process on the mainland.These parents come from all
over the world, ride buses to remote provinces, wait to settle details at
government offices and, ultimately, are united with their new children.read

Palme d'Or-winning Thai director Apichatpong Weerasuthakul goes 'Primitive'

Mon, 12/05/2011 - 05:00 — Anonymous "Primitive," the newest multimedia art
installation by award-winning Thai film director Apichatpong Weerasuthakul,
wasn't a contrived project.  Now showing at Bangkok's Jim Thompson House
until February 29, 2012, it's actually the third artistic expression to come
out of an unplanned trip Apichatpong took to Nabua, a tiny village in
northeast Thailand, in 2008.Music videos, sound installations and light
experiments collected during his journey all represent a rarely discussed
piece of history he only discovered by speaking with village elders.In the
1960s, the Thai government set its sights on Nabua's communist insurgents --
who also happened to be farmers -- and sent forces in to drive them out,
ushering in two decades of military control. read more

一个关乎"日本对你来说意味着什么?"的摄影展在日本举办。
C· 詹姆斯·戴尔
做好事有益心理健康,利兹尔·施特劳斯(Liezel
Strauss)就是一个证明。
"这让我的内心开始欢唱。"她这样说道。施特劳斯来自南非,在东京生活已将近两年。她经营着一家十分红火的艺术和设计咨询公司BottegaTokyo,还开了一间摄影艺术画廊Subject

Japan,这"内心的欢唱"正是源自慈善事业的成果和反响。恐怖秀施特劳斯的慈善之路始于3月11日那场日本大地震。
当大地开始晃动时,她和丈夫英国人约翰(Jon)正在东京。
和许多人一样,他们怀着难以置信且十分惊恐的心情观看了东北方传来的图像。接着,他们开始担心核事故。
在这场灾难过去近一个礼拜后,他们飞往新加坡工作,顺便放松一下。
但施特劳斯还是忍不住挂念着她的第二家园。"我感觉十分无能为力,觉得自己与日本人所经历的伤痛之间相隔那么远。"她回忆道,
"因此我决定翻看一下在日本拍摄的所有照片,然后我意识到,许多人肯定都拍摄了这个国家的美丽照片。"*/CNNGo相关文章:
