| The library where you can borrow a person Posted: 03 Aug 2011 02:09 AM PDT  This Sunday Singapore will host a Human Library event -- it will make you think of libraries as more than quiet spaces filled with dusty books. Think of it as a library with a human touch, where 'books' come in the form of human beings whom you can borrow for a one-to-one conversation. Inspired by a quirky idea that started out in 2000 in Denmark at the Roskilde Festival, a group of young people have organized Singapore's first Human Library. The 'books' include an alternative healing practitioner, members of the Singapore Contemporary Young Artists, a member of the Singapore Association for the Deaf, a poet, parkour enthusiasts, as well as a rural development social worker.      |

| Beer popsicle alert as ice beer hits Japan Posted: 02 Aug 2011 09:30 PM PDT We have some good news and some weird news for beer purists. The good news is, Kirin has announced a new addition to its suds lineup, and for once it's actual beer, not that "happoshu" blend of liquor and goodness-knows-what that Japanese breweries cook up to benefit from tax breaks. The weird news is, Kirin's Ice Plus Beer is designed to be consumed on ice. Yes -- in a glass, over a stack of fresh cubes of frozen water.    |
| Wang Fangqing: Why Xintiandi isn't Shanghainese Posted: 02 Aug 2011 09:27 PM PDT During Shanghai's massive Shikumen demolitions in the 1990s, a few blocks of traditional residential buildings near Taiping Bridge (太平桥) dodged the destruction, due to a US$150 million investment by the Hong Kong-based real estate behemoth Shui On. A decade later, these buildings are known as Xintiandi (新天地), which translates as "New Heaven and Earth". It's Shanghai's signature entertainment and tourist destination, and it doesn't hesitate to brag about its Shikumen theme.    |

| Posted: 02 Aug 2011 03:00 PM PDT  재벌남을 만났다. 그의 마음을 훔칠 수 있는 방법은? 한국의 드라마나 만화 같았다면 뺨을 때리거나 "난 네가 싫어!"라고 외치는 방법이 쓰였겠지만 현실에서는 조금 더 현실적인 방법이 필요하지 않을까? 베이징의 한 여성 도덕 교육원은 수강료 2만 위안($3,090)을 받고 30시간짜리 강의 코스를 진행하는데 강의의 제목은 "돈 많은 싱글남 유혹하기"이다. 상하의의 공식 홈페이지에 소개된 내용이라고 하니 눈길을 끌만하다. 이 강의에서는 돈 많은 남자를 유혹하기 위한 대화 기술, 성격 개발, 화장 팁, 전통 다도 등을 가르친다. 안정적인 삶을 위해이 곳 강사로도 일하는 이 교육원 설립자 샤오 통 (Shao Tong)은 남자의 특징과 인품을 이해하고 특히 거짓말을 판별하는 방법을 학생들을 가르치고 있다고 한다.    |
| Philippine jeepneys nearing end of a colorful road Posted: 02 Aug 2011 03:00 PM PDT The iconic Filipino people carrier is losing its luster as owners ditch art to save cash In a dusty workshop in the town of Angono, just outside Manila, an artist glances up at a poster from the Disney animation "Tangled." He compares it with the image of the film's strong-jawed hero, which he is airbrushing onto the side of an old jeepney. The artwork has been commissioned by the owner of the jeepney, and will be a brash, ostentatious statement that he no doubt hopes will mark his vehicle out from every other. "This will be finished later today," says Damaso Reyes, owner of Dasoy Motors, the small auto workshop charged with completing the design. Reyes will make a small profit for his work. For some, however, the scene here is a sign of the decay that is affecting Filipino jeepney art.    |
