Kitchen Garden at Biltmore
Laos	How much land does a man need? A good question and a very famous line, and at the end  how ironic that a man only need six feet long, the size of an ordinary grave to bury himself after he passed away.  But in real life, we often think that we need more, the bigger [...]...more info>>> Discovered on 19/06/2009 18:01:00 Discovered @ nyenoona.wordpress.com

Malays' identity well-preserved in Red village
Malaysia	I toured Ban Chulabhorn 12 in Sukhirin, southern Thailand thrice and I have observed that CPM's Malay veterans preserve all the elements of Malays' collective identity well. All the Malay veterans of CPM told me they joined the party and its armed struggle voluntarily to fight for a cause they belie...more info>>> Discovered on 19/06/2009 12:01:00 Discovered @ jameswongwingon-online.blogspot.com
boost juice bars @ klcc
Malaysia	The lovely Yasmin (lady boss over at Cafe Libre) told me some time ago that she, together with her sisters and brothers-in-law would be bringing Boost Juice Bars to Malaysia.

Review: Restoran Satu Ikan Tiga Rasa
Malaysia	**Non-Halal**It piqued my interest when my friend Pat mentioned that he went to this place somewhere in Kepong that serves a variety of dishes from one single fish. Last week we decided to go dinner together with CES and we asked Pat to bring us to this place which is actually in Selayang not Kepong...more info>>> Discovered on 19/06/2009 12:01:00 Discovered @ babeinthecitykl.blogspot.com
Gansong Art Museum (?????), II
South Korea	Back in October of last year I paid a visit to the Gansong Art Musem (?????) in Seongbuk-gu, northern Seoul. For those not familiar with the museum and who are too lazy to read the older entry, it's arguably the greatest private museum in the country; it features several national treasures, includi...more info>>> Discovered on 19/06/2009 12:01:00 Discovered @ samedi.livejournal.com

A great place to watch a movie? – Zenta Cafe
Vietnam	Zenta Cafe is one of my favorite coffeeshops.  I normally there for one hour meetings so I never really get to visit the Men’s Room.  Well, last week I did and this is what I saw: You know, on paper this may have been a good idea.  Unfortunately, when you are, umm, doing your thing, the [...]...more info>>> Discovered on 19/06/2009 06:01:00 Discovered @ saigonnezumi.com

Nguyen Hong An – Mua Xuan Dau Do
Vietnam	Nguyen Hong An is another male vocalist influenced by Tuan Ngoc. Unfortunately he could only sing and phrase like Tuan Ngoc on the low register. He is far from reaching Tuan Ngoc’s soaring octaves. As a result, Nguyen Hong An sounds dull and flat on Pham Duy’s “Hen Ho,” Trinh Cong Son’s “Ru Em Tung ...more info>>> Discovered on 19/06/2009 06:01:00 Discovered @ Visualgui.com

JRock Review – VAMPS (With Hyde from L’Arc~En~Ciel)
Japan	Generally speaking, you have to be very careful of bands who have one member from a ’supergroup. They tend to be either excellent (Liquid Tension Experiment, for example) or horrendously cheesy. There are some artists, and I won’t mention who, who really won’t work outside of the ...more info>>> Discovered on 19/06/2009 00:01:00 Discovered @ japanisdoomed.com

To Market, to Market We Bike!
Thailand	Last month, I was so psyched at the thought of returning to summer in New Mexico. Blue skies, plenty of sun, mountains to climb, trails to ride, tomatoes to grow! If only.

The closest venues required a drive north to Albuquerque or south to [...more info>>> Discovered on 19/06/2009 00:01:00 Discovered @ ramblingspoon.com
