“Ombra mai fu
di vegetabile,
cara ed amabile,
soave più.”
(Translation from Italian:
Never was a shade
of any plant
dearer and more lovely,
or more sweet.)
A libretto from George Frideric Handel’s aria, titled Ombra mai fu.
As you stroll past the Autumn foliage of Green Lake, listen to this largo rendition by alto vocalist Andreas Scholl. He is one of the most celebrated German countertenors of our generation:
Michael Wester, the Boston native and founder of thebeijinger was interviewed earlier last month by China Plus. Those who've resided in BJ may know of this website.
Perhaps there are elements of their marketing approach GOK may emulate, and vice versa.
It's funny you mention this lemon. Keen observation. I also noticed most are white-headed with a black dot in earlier months, but in February many appear black headed.
Either these black dots grow to cover entire face after a few months here, or the black-headed gulls arrive much later and stay for a shorter duration. My hunch is the former.
Thank you for the beautiful photographs Fabio. We look forward to more Yunnan culture, wildlife, and landscape through your lens. Happy journeys with Vera.
Whether snow leopards, yaks, llamas, or these funky monkeys, the sheer amount of fur these guys sport at cold, high altitudes speaks volume of evolutionary natural selection and adaptivity of our mammalian kins.
But Carl also spins breakbeat, which is a mixture of funk, jazz and R&B. So Detroit techno shouldn't be the sole answer as that limits his range. Darn, I was hoping to win this. Next time.
Since we're on the subject of Hang Lung Spring 66, Crystal Jade Golden Palace restaurant on the 6th floor may be worth a visit after experiencing TeamLab on the 2nd floor.
Their sister restaurant in Singapore received a Michelin one star:
Acclaimed dishes are their BBQ pork (炒烧肉) hung on racks. The dongpo meat (东坡肉) looks succulent. The sweet sour pinnaple fried and cooked fish is also tasty. Portions of other dishes like steamed eggplants are quite generous and delicious as well. A group of staffers can be seen preparing steamed pork buns (小笼包) behind see-through glass.
If you're closer to Nanya mall, Crystal Jade has a store there too, I think. And another one somewhere else in Kunming.
Our new editor is on a roll. Pumping out articles seemly every few days. We appreciate your super work ethic. Thank you!
This TeamLab future amusement park looks like a place where children would enjoy. Per Vera's descriptions, an unique interactive medium to unleash your child's creativity. Heck, the kid in me would be just as giddy. Being immersed in all that glow in dark black light is already enough to wow me, let alone DIY art works animated into life and interacting with others. Pretty cool.
For parents thinking about where to take their hyperactive kids with too much pent up energy, the new Aegean Shopping Mall on Baiyun Road No. 168 features a sizable ice skating ring with ice hockey classes what not. Also, another enormous two storey jungle cage with zip lines, trampolines, and assortment of bouncy objects & balls, and challenging climbing obstacles to satisfy the inner ape in all of us.
