Taiwan being steered towards China, next step (judical system)
From Far East of Common Sense, 6 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
The China-friendly KMT party, which rules Taiwan since 2008, is taking another step in changing Taiwan's (formerly rather Western style democratic) system to make it more China-compatible. New laws in Taiwan will put defense attorneys in a dangerous position. As in China as well, Taiwanese attorneys are will be "with one foot already in jail" if the new proposals for adjustments to the criminal code of Taiwan will become law. See here: http://www.usasialaw.org/?p=2630One example: if a defendant...

Where to buy in France (2) - the south coast
From A little drop of cognac, 6 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Following my last "where to buy in France if you don't fancy the charente" on Mayenne I thought that I'd do a short piece on two fantastic spots on the south coast.The first is Aix-en-Provence. It's a university town, famous for its culture. It hosts two significant music festivals each year.Musique dans la rue is held each June and does what it says on the tin - as classical, jazz and popular concerts are held in the packed streets and squares.The main Festival is held in...

but one of her aunts:When we were at RetroMobile we noticed this, and took the best photo you could get that shows just how much legroom you get in the back of a Traction Avant. As I am not planning on taking Célestine's doors off anytime soon, you will have to be content with someone else's car.This is the Traction Avant used in "Les Misérables", a 1995 update on the Victor Hugo classic set

Almost immediately surround it with red & white cones and dig it up.'Unexpected high traffic'? It was always going to be a major attraction, numbers are capped, volume of traffic to expect was obvious.The real problem is in the statement though: "Technical issues with the...

Winter salads
From A House Called Nut, 6 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I love having a nice, fresh salad on the side of meals, but this can be at odds with seasonal eating in the wintertime--particularly in Finland, where the growing season is so very short and winter pickings are pretty much limited to root veg and cabbage. Happily, we're all fond of cabbage in this household (even the dog seems delighted when the occasional slice hits the floor), so it takes a full winter of cabbage salads before we get sick of it. But variety is nice too, and this year...
