In East and Southeast Asia, bamboo is of notable economic and cultural significant. Take Bali as an example. In Bali, bamboo is used for building materials and for making utensils for everyday's life. Besides rice, coconut, and banana, bamboo is also another great source of food in this part of the world. Bamboo is a versatile raw material and in fact it is one of the most important plant materials upon which the Balinese civilisation is built.

Get to know your medicine
If not the doctor's, then it's mum's orders: Take your medicine. As little kids, we may have taken a teaspoon of cherry-flavoured medicinal syrup three times a day to relieve a runny nose and nasal congestion. Adults with a dreadful cold may take the same kind of medicine but in the form of a tablet.

World Gourmet Festival enters its second decade
Throughout the years, through thick and thin one might say, the World Gourmet Festival has kept its promise of providing worldwide, world-class cuisine, and maintained its standards and the interest of the public. For the new 2010 edition the hotel might well have adopted the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" rule, but with the passing of a decade, there is another rule that trumps that one.

New ideas from the world of wine
Les Visiteurs du Soir was the title of a famous film directed by Marcel Carne and shot in France in the middle of World War II. Are the visitors coming back? There is a knock on the door. It is already dark. Afraid? No, because you are expecting a wine producer, who is coming free of charge to your home to introduce some of his/her recent vintages. Unusual, maybe, but also it could become a habit in France.

Barbecue with a river view
Until a few years ago, "yakiniku" would have been an uncommon word to local diners. Today, though, yakiniku restaurants, the Japanese-style DIY barbecue targetting hardcore carnivores, are spreading all over the city. Their winning combination of superb quality and top value for money are the main elements customers are looking for.

A compelling story of stasis
Modern Italian writing includes among its treasures a special category of writer whose eccentric, fantasy-laced, often philosophical fiction is engrossing enough to turn any casual reader who happens on it into an addict. Italo Calvino is probably the best known of them outside Italy, but even devoted fans of his work may still be unaware of the similarly habit-forming writings by authors like Tommaso Landolfi, Giorgio Manganelli, Anna Maria Ortese, and a personal favourite, Dino Buzzati.

Getting to know Les Noces
Valery Gergiev certainly has a way with Stravinsky. His recordings of the three popular early ballets were knockouts, culminating in an account of Le Sacre du Printemps that brought back the ferocity and danger that so many recorded performances released over the past decades have lost, now that just getting the notes and rhythms right are no longer a challenge to most orchestras.

To show or not to show
The posters on the skytrain columns show slim legs with a woman's underwear sliding down down a hitched-up skirt. The trailer in the cinema shows sultry, pre-coitus tantalisation and, among others, a young man ogling the sweaty cleavage of his girlfriend and saying, quite nicely: ''Can I touch your breasts?'' Though no strategic parts are visible, the teaser of the new Thai movie Namtal Daeng, or Brown Sugar, makes an open promise that the story will be about sex, and perhaps love.
