Twin Towers still stand in Chinese theme park

Posted: 08 Sep 2011 08:22 PM PDT

Brent Deverman is CNNGo's web development manager and owner of ShenzhenParty.com, an online guide to Shenzhen.

In Shenzhen, China, there is a fantasyland where the September 11 tragedy never happened.

The theme park Window of The World (世界之窗) includes a miniature Manhattan. The "Fly over America" section of the park does not reflect or educate about the tragedy, even 10 years later.

The Twin Towers are still standing, playing a starring role in a pre-9/11 landscape.

For Thailand's muay Thai fighters, there's no greater triumph than a championship win inside one of Bangkok's two legendary stadiums: Rajadamnern and Lumpini

賴買丹齋戒月遊孟買

Posted: 08 Sep 2011 04:32 PM PDT

孟買的伊斯蘭社區在賴買丹(Ramzan)齋戒月下,平日一貫的沉靜為歡樂所取代,貧富之間的差異也彷彿頓時消失。

對伊斯蘭教徒來說,齋戒與盛宴相伴而來;可是對其他人來說,大概忍不住參一腳來享受這盛宴。

以下賴買丹齋戒月最後三天的推介遊覽行程。

最神聖的一個月: 習俗與慶典

賴買丹齋戒月是伊斯蘭曆中重要的節慶,因為相傳真主阿拉就是在這 30 天將可蘭經賜予聖人穆罕默德。

這個月裡,虔誠的伊斯蘭教徒清心寡慾,修身養性,寬恕敵人。

一天始於破曉,早晨朝拜後,教徒於日出前用餐 (sehri)。

伊斯蘭教徒白天禁絕飲食,提醒自己飢餓的痛苦,克己修身,潔淨身心。

齋戒於每天日落朝拜後結束。

接著便是時候飽餐一頓,也就是你和我都緊密留意著的部分。

賴買丹齋戒月的街頭盛宴: Bohri Mohalla 與 Minara Masjid

Bohri Mohalla 和 Minara Masjid 兩區的街頭小食顯著不同,值得分別一嚐。

Minara Masjid 的招牌菜包括:烤肉、gurda 腎片串、kaleji 肝串、boti 肉塊串、烤鵪鶉和煎腦肉 bheja。

當然不少得沾沾 nalli nihari 羊骨髓咖喱醬品嚐。

Bohri 當地人的烹飪技巧素來聞名,然而意想不到的,是在 Mohalla 的小食卻隱約找到印度 Guajarat 著名的素菜式的影子。

Posted: 08 Sep 2011 03:00 PM PDT

Not everyone can afford to buy a castle but that doesn't mean you can't rent one. At least for a night or two.

Across Europe, many castles have been transformed into hotels. Here are 15 of the most romantic.

 

1. Hôtel de la Cité, Carcassonne, France


There are few better places to base yourself while you explore the fairytale city of Carcassonne than Hôtel de la Cité. 

It's the only hotel set inside the ramparts of the UNESCO World Heritage site, and when the throngs of day trippers depart you will have the place almost to yourself.
