In this Japan in a Nutshell book, you'll find enormous information regarding Japan, you will know the dos and don'ts, places for sightseeing, a general info on where to stay, enjoying an o-furo ;) having a nice tea ceremony, and whole lot more !
Go and download the 6 MB Japan in a Nutshell to print out and read ;)
Now from the East, we switched to the West ;)
Coney Island
A tribe called the Canarsie dwelt in the forest that the urban wilds of Brooklyn have replaced. That forest has utterly vanished; and so, too, those for whom it was home and hunting ground.
I probably will never heard Coney Island if it wasn't for Professor Solomon. Actually maybe it's because i was more interested in the East culture, China, Japan, Mongolia, Persia, etc. :P
Once renowned as a funspot, Coney Island has been largely forgotten. Does it still exist? What has survived of the place? And what was it like? In his book CONEY ISLAND, Professor Solomon takes us there to find out.
Go and download the 6 MB Coney Island to print out and read ^^

Friday, September 14, 2007
Happy (Belated) Programmer Day. Just found out from stii that yesterday is a Programmer Day :D Phew! Been a very busy week nowadays!
Having a programmer background, this truly is a joy to share :D
Programmer Day is the 256th day of every year, September 13th or the 12th on leap years.
To all the programmers out there, KC have the same questions as me ;)
If we’re celebrating the 256th day, why does the logo have 1111 1111 (255) instead of 1 0000 0000 ? What are programmers if not detail oriented?
Can you answer it ? :D
