Japanese marching drill makes robots look sloppy

Posted: 11 Aug 2011 09:59 PM PDT

England and cheese rolling, Finland and wife carrying, Ireland and camogie -- to those peculiarly parochial, yet nonetheless impressive, sporting events we can now add the Japanese tradition of shudan koudou, or group mobilization.

Squatting for your rights in Hong Kong

Posted: 11 Aug 2011 06:00 PM PDT

Two Korean artists want Hong Kong people to take up squatting as an artistic and political activity. That's squatting as in occupying an abandoned space, not doing exercises to strengthen your butt.

Hong Kong community arts group Woofer Ten hosted Korean husband-and-wife artist-activists Kim Youn Hoan and Kim Kang in July. While in Hong Kong, the Kims explored the potential for squatting in our city's vacant spaces.

Squatting gives artists, activists, as well as vagrants, a chance to reappropriate unused space. That's a nice way of saying "illegally occupying" someone else's property.

在孟买商店里，大家想要买的东西都一样：披肩、凉鞋和灵性启导。但是没有人愿意回家的时候看起来就像其他去印度旅游就仿佛咒语附身的笨蛋一样。

这10个颇具特色的商店和市场有那么多好东西，让你难以选择：到底该买什么纪念品礼物，又该给自己挑些什么。别担心，当地人也有相同的困扰。

Bombay Electric商店：别具风格的羊绒披肩

你可能正在寻找热门的羊绒披肩。不论是对男人还是女人，这都是个不错的礼物。但是你可能完全不相信一些地下作坊的羊绒含量。

在孟买，跳过苦苦搜寻的过程，直奔最好的商店吧。

我们的最爱是Bombay Electric里面卖的Anupamaa羊绒披肩。它们有色彩丰富鲜艳的手工扎染，有印着很有趣的图案（大约10500卢比），这些披肩既有"孟买"特色，又相当来电哦。

如果你想要低调一点的选择，可以浏览一下Bombay Electric种类繁多的其它披肩货架。

在你眼花缭乱的时候，先不要急，因为每一条披肩都要比上一条更舒服更漂亮。

其中最受欢迎的有Kashimir Loom的彩虹条纹羊绒披肩、Women Weave的手工卡迪披肩，还有一系列精致渐变色的Pashmina超软羊绒披肩（8000到12000卢比）。

東京最佳商店街

Posted: 11 Aug 2011 04:32 PM PDT

厭倦到老掉牙的觀光寺廟和百貨公司買手信？逛逛東京一些最獨特、最熱話、最古靈精怪的商店街吧。

巢鴨地藏通商店街

曾有位日本老太太告訴我，巢鴨就像「老人的原宿」。我以為整條街都是一頭紫髮、穿著 Lolita 的老人，但實際上巢鴨的「服飾標準」是紅色內衣。

紅色被認為具有恢復健康的功效，如提高心臟機能、體溫及血液循環；在地藏通商店街一直逛下去，你會發現這鮮紅色滿眼皆是。

自稱帶領這個潮流的 Maruji 連鎖店單在巢鴨已有 4 間分店。

高岩寺是另一熱點，傳說著名的 Togenuki 地藏尊可為人化病和延壽。

而布遊舍則有可愛現代的風呂敷、浴衣、以及錢包、咖啡杯等日常用品發售，適合 70 歲以下人士。

Tokyo day trips: Cool off in Karuizawa

Posted: 11 Aug 2011 02:55 PM PDT

As the sticky Japanese summer heat stretches into August, what Tokyoite doesn't long to escape to cooler climes? Luckily for us, a world-class weekend getaway waits just about an hour away in the mountains of Nagano Prefecture.

Overheated urbanites

Located on the eastern edge of the prefecture, Karuizawa was once a busy post station on the Nakasendo, a highway linking Tokyo and Kyoto. After the Meiji Restoration, however, that traffic was diverted and the town began to fall into decline.
