| How to marry a billionaire in 30 hours Posted: 21 Jul 2011 02:06 AM PDT  At last, a way to find the man of your dreams and earn the key to his ... safety deposit box? The Beijing Moral Education Center for Women is running 30-hour training courses, costing RMB 20,000 (US$3,094), to train women on how to lure a wealthy bachelor, as reported on the official city website, Shanghai Municipal People's Government. Courses include conversation skills, personality development, makeup tips and traditional tea-pouring techniques that are intended to charm an affluent man. |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2011 11:06 PM PDT  Japan has Fuji, Britain's got Glastonbury, and Korea has Jisan -- at least, that's according to the organizers of this local three-day rock extravaganza. By mentioning the Jisan Valley Rock Festival in the same breath as other global greats, concert planners CJ E&M and Stagefactory are drawing attention away from the fierce, lengthy duel they've staged against Incheon's Pentaport Rock Festival. In a departure from the past, the most exciting names on the 74-artist roster are local, from the folksy Jang Ki-ha and The Faces to experimental rockers Apollo 18, who made quite the landing at SXSW this year. |

| How to win at rock, paper, scissors Posted: 20 Jul 2011 07:52 PM PDT Life as an expat in Japan can be one long chain of ritual humblings, none more so than when you discover that any kid there aged five and above can thrash your imported hide at the great Japanese game of rock, paper scissors. No more, we say -- the beatings end today. For that release, we owe our thanks to one Richard Cook of University College London. |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:08 PM PDT 如果要選一種顏色代表香港，很明顯是那火熱的中國紅。 然而，許多香港人會選擇紅色的互補色：綠色。 「我稱這種顏色『草根綠』。」文化葫蘆創辦人之一、香港歷史專家吳正文說。 「窗戶、攤檔、電車、天星小輪。 綠色到處都是，所有著名的香港事物都是綠色的。」 我們坐在歷史悠久的美都餐室裡，它那 50 年代的鐵窗框也塗上了綠色。 伸延閱讀：跟隨「老香港」專家腳步遊上海街 可是為什麼香港那麼喜愛綠色呢？ 吳先生推測那是從前香港政府規定攤檔一律須塗上綠色的緣故。 香港古老攤檔集中地之一的威靈頓街上，一家油漆店店主也是這樣說。 「檔販來這邊買油漆，他們都只從幾種不同深淺程度的綠色裡選擇。」不願意透露姓名的店主說。 「我想是跟政府政策有關。」 我透過電郵向食環署查詢， 其發言人表示政府沒有規管檔販所用的油漆顏色。 「每個檔位的持牌人均需於指定位置擺檔，並遵從署方所訂下的面積大小和高度限制。攤檔顏色則不設限制，但傳統下來都是綠色的。」 |
| Posted: 20 Jul 2011 05:02 PM PDT 攝影記者 Divya Dugar 在捷布碰上1880 Carl Zeiss 箱式照相機，認識了僅餘的街頭攝影師 下午走到捷布舊區，混亂、色彩繽紛和破舊的建築，是探索攝影的開始。 最先碰到一位年約 40 歲的男士，手握一疊古老的黑白寶麗萊照片。 「小姐，看看我的相機，拍張照吧，1 分鐘就好了。」他說。 拐個彎，三腳架上一部 1860 Carl Zeiss 木照相機凝視著我。 照相機機身包著破舊的黑皮套，上有黃銅製的調節器。 不久以前，街頭攝影師遍佈捷布，但現在只剩下 Surendar 跟他兄弟 Tikam Chand 仍使用這些古老的箱式照相機。 事實上，他們的照相機在過去 30 年每天肩負重任。 Surendar說：「祖父買下這照相機，後來傳給我父親，而現在傳到了我跟我兄弟手上。」 他看到遊客帶著大鏡頭大相機走過便說：「攝影是一門藝術，卻隱沒於數碼狂熱中。」 一百塊錢的古老人像照片這個老爺箱式照相機以 Rajasthani 皇宮肉色的外牆作背景，感覺像通往迷失世界的大門一樣。 而照相機便是所有故事的守護者。 金屬和塑膠照相機還未面世前，這些木照相機在英殖印度時期曾用來替捷布皇室拍照。 時至今日，五六部箱式照相機的主人 Surendar 不禁感到寂寞，因為行內的朋友都把他們的照相機賣掉了。 可是一整車突如其來的遊客卻讓他雀躍起來。 他游說一群中年法國遊客拍照留念。 身為攝影師，我可以告訴你操作這些木盒照相機真的是一門藝術。 |

| Posted: 20 Jul 2011 03:00 PM PDT When it comes to Seoul, it's all about fusing tradition with a modern touch, or vice versa. The same goes to the top five list of the best luxury hotels in Seoul. The Shilla became one of the most popular venues for celebrity weddings and VIP gatherings as a homegrown hotel brand, while the Westin Chosun displays a more traditional flare with a curvy exterior and its pavilion. The five hotels represent basically everything any traveler would want to look for in a hotel; from chic, modern to elegant and traditional. Take your pick. The Shilla |
| 'Invention & Intervention,' Hong Kong's big new media arts fest Posted: 20 Jul 2011 03:00 PM PDT
Making use of digital art, computer robotics and interactive art, as well as new media arts advances in technology, a dynamic exhibition in Hong Kong -- "Invention & Intervention -- Power Showcase of Hong Kong New Media Artists" -- reflects our lives and emotions. Joel Kwong, exhibition curator and program director of Microwave, which organized the expo together with the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, says, "Hong Kong new media artists are maturing at an amazing speed, surpassing that of traditional artists." With the number of art venues and exhibitions proliferating around the city in recent years, Hong Kong, has become a breeding ground for new media artists, nurturing local talents. |
