Maeklong - the market on the railway tracks

At the fishing village of Maeklong (Samut Songkram) the railway line runs through a thriving market. Watch as the vendors pull back their poles and awnings and remove their produce from the tracks as the train approaches. After the train has passed, the market will revert back - sprawled all over the railway tracks.

"The Ketchup Song" is the English title of the song "Aserejé" which was an international hit in 2002. The song exists in two versions, Spanish and English, with the latter performed in a mixture of English and Spanish, described as "Spanglish", but better suited would be "phonetic English".

--Heart Breaker.....--

Heart breaker

Soul shaker

You heard my despairing cries

You saw the tears in my eyes

And yet you stand there

Like you don’t care

Shrug your shoulders

Leave me wordless

As the only thing you say

Is sorry like it makes it okay

~

Oh heartbreaker, you tore my soul

And you’ve broken my world

Once you held my heart

Now you’ve broken it

Once you filled my soul

Now you’ve emptied it

And you walk away Like it’s a normal day

Leaving my Heart..... broken and Soul.... shaken

--Smoking Problems...--

When your parents were young, people could buy cigarettes and smoke pretty much anywhere — even in hospitals! Ads for cigarettes were all over the place. Today we're more aware about how bad smoking is for our health. Smoking is restricted or banned in almost all public places and cigarette companies are no longer allowed to advertise on TV, radio, and in many magazines.
~
Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer, emphysema, and heart disease; that it can shorten your life by 10 years or more; and that the habit can cost a smoker thousands of dollars a year. So how come people are still lighting up? The answer, in a word, is addiction.
~
Once You Start, It's Hard to Stop!!
Smoking is a hard habit to break because tobacco contains nicotine, which is highly addictive. Like heroin or other addictive drugs, the body and mind quickly become so used to the nicotine in cigarettes that a person needs to have it just to feel normal.
~
People start smoking for a variety of different reasons. Some think it looks cool. Others start because their family members or friends smoke. Statistics show that about 9 out of 10 tobacco users start before they're 18 years old. Most adults who started smoking in their teens never expected to become addicted. That's why people say it's just so much easier to not start smoking at all.

Bill Clinton's Fake Chinese Life

~

Published: October 24, 2004

~

Who knew that back in Bill Clinton's early days in Arkansas, the future president and his Uncle Buddy sat around and chewed the fat, ham fat to be precise, and talked about how China was one of the world's most ancient cultures and had produced Four Great Inventions, one of which was gunpowder?

~

Yet there it is, all that love of China and things Chinese, right in the latest bootlegged version of Mr. Clinton's autobiography, "My Life," sold on the cheap in mainland China and now retranslated back into English, most recently by Alex Beels in the latest issue of Harper's Magazine. The fake version reveals a Clinton family obsessed with China's strong points, with how Chinese science and technology "left us in the dust." Readers will learn that the future president, to impress Hillary's mother, had rhapsodized about such things as the Eight Trigrams, documented in "TheBook of Changes" several thousand years ago. Another retranslation of the pirated translation last summer has Mr. Clinton explaining to Hillary that his nickname is "Big Watermelon."

~

In the Western publishing world - in fact, in the Western business world -such purloined texts are no laughing matter. The American Chamber of Commerce recently singled out China's lack of enforcement of laws against counterfeit goods and its failure to protect intellectual property rights as problems. American publishers estimate that they lose at least $40million a year to Chinese forgeries.

~

Indeed, shoppers in Beijing routinely go to an area called Knockoff Central to buy imitation Gap sweaters or mock Timberland shoes. Some copies aren't so bad, to the chagrin of those trying to sell the real thing.

~

China is not the only place where fakes are sold, of course. Counterfeit Guccis and Armanis appear with some regularity on New York City sidewalks, and the problem for publishers and other businesses is worldwide. But on the narrow issue of books - particularly books by the Clintons - China has been particularly rough. Simon & Schuster withdrew the publication rights for the Chinese publisher of Senator Hillary Clinton's book last year because of distortions and deletions in the text.

~

The pirated translations of Mr. Clinton's book also delete any references to the lack of freedom in China. But these fake publishers have certainly managed to take plenty of liberties with the text. One of the best examples is the very long opening sentence of Mr. Clinton's version, which takes 48 words to detail his birth, even the stormy weather that preceded the big event. The first sentence in the pirated Chinese version says:

~

"The town of Hope, where I was born, has very good feng shui."

--Doraemon @ 40--

Doraemon (ドラえもん Doraemon) is a Japanese manga series created by Fujiko F. Fujio (the pen name of Hiroshi Fujimoto) which later became an anime series and Asian franchise. The series is about a robotic cat named Doraemon, who travels back in time from the 22nd century to aid a schoolboy, Nobita Nobi (野比 のび太 ,Nobi Nobita).

In March 2008, Japan's Foreign Ministry appointed Doraemon as the nation's first "anime ambassador." Ministry spokesman explained the novel decision as an attempt to help people in other countries to understand Japanese anime better and to deepen their interest in Japanese culture." The Foreign Ministry action confirms that Doraemon has come to be considered a Japanese cultural icon. In 2002, the anime character was acclaimed as an Asian Hero in a special feature survey conducted by Time Asia magazine.

The series first appeared in December 1969, when it was published simultaneously in six different magazines. In total, 1,344 stories were created in the original series, which are published by Shogakukan under the Tentōmushi (てんとう虫 ?) manga brand, extending to forty-five volumes. The volumes are collected in the Takaoka Central Library in Toyama, Japan. Fujio was born in Toyama.

A majority of Doraemon episodes are comedies with moral lessons regarding values such as integrity, perseverance, courage, family and respect for elders. Several noteworthy environmental issues are often visited, including homeless animals, endangered species, deforestation, and pollution. Topics such as dinosaurs, the flat earth theory, wormhole traveling, Gulliver's Travels, and the history of Japan are often covered.

Doraemon was awarded the first Shogakukan Manga Award for children's manga in 1982, and the first Osamu Tezuka Culture Award in 1997.
