10. Incheon, South Korea The city of Incheon, in South Korea, is just miles from the North Korean border.  With a population of nearly 3 million, it is the third largest city in South Korea.  In 1994, the South Korean government, with a keen eye toward the future, decided to undertake a bold plan to reclaim land from the sea off the coast of Incheon, and build the world’s largest ubiquitous  technological  city.  With a projected cost of $40 to 50 billion, the city has an estimated completion date of 2020, and hopes to accommodate up to half a million residents.  The South Korean government is also trying to build the city within a strict green blueprint, which it may or may not meet. 9. King Abdullah Economic City, Saudi Arabia Not only didn’t this city exist in 1960, it barely exists now.  King  Abdullah  has a grand vision of a city of the future on the Red Sea about an hour away from the Saudi city of Jeddah....

10 Soondubu Jiggae Soft Tofu Stew – 순두부 찌개 [ Recipe | Wikipedia ] Soondubu jiggae is a Korean stew (jiggae) – thicker than a soup but thinner than a porridge. When cooked in the traditional way (in an earthenware pot – pictured above) all of the cooking is done in just the one dish. This makes it very easy to clean up afterwards – a job we all hate. It starts with a delicious fish stock and a little beef to deepen the flavor then finished off with fresh shell fish, hot pepper flakes, silken tofu, and eggs which are optional. The best thing about this stew is that you – the cook – can control how hot you want it but limiting the quantity of hot pepper flakes. You can have it blisteringly hot or very mild which is particularly handy if you are cooking for children who can’t stomach their food too spicy. The small amount of beef is typical of Korean food and illustrates how healthy it is – the meat is used for flavor rather than stomach filling. This is a dish everyo...

10. Cherry Blossom Tunnel, Germany Each spring, a peaceful street, located in the German city of Bonn, transforms into an enchanting cherry blossom tunnel. Photographer Marcel Bednarz captured this stunning sight of cherry blossoms in full bloom. He explained to me that there are actually two streets in Bonn where cherry trees are planted, but the one you see in the above picture is called Heerstraße. As you may know, the average cherry blossom lasts only between 7 and 10 days, depending on weather conditions. Similar tunnels can be found all over the world, so check them out if cherry blossoms are your thing: -   Kungsträdgården  cherry blossom in Stockholm, Sweden - Cherry Blossom Festival  in Macon, Georgia: over 600,000 people travel annually to Macon, to attend the 10-day long festival. Nearly 240,000 Yoshino cherry trees have been planted throughout that city in the last 30 years. “They’re everywhere, absolutely everywhere,” exclaimed Carolyn ...

10. Sahrawi Muslims Of The Western Sahara In 1975 Morocco invaded the country of “Western Sahara”. Ever since the Moroccan invaders marched across the border, there has been a low-level War for Independence against the occupiers. These fighters, called the Sahrawi National Liberation Movement, or Polisario Front, continue their struggle to this day. While both Morocco and Western Sahrawi share Muslim cultures, the Sahrawi brand of Islam is much more liberal than the conservative Moroccans. In Sahrawi culture, the women holds the power in the marriage and, if her husband displeases her, then she can divorce into becoming a revered member of Sahrawi society. Divorced Sahrawi women are revered and much sought after by male suitors, moreso than an unmarried virgin. 9. Western African Countries And The Akan People Western Africa has probably the highest concentration of nations in the world, and many are ranked among the worst in the world for women’s rights. Yet, ...

10.  Pay Attention to “Air Con” And “No Air Con” Something that gets vitally important while in Asia during their summer is the concept of electronically-cooled air. Electricity , gas, and the money that supplies these things can be at a premium. Therefore, there are helpful signs all over the place telling you whether the establishment or vehicle you get into supplies “air con”. As the name implies, Air Con is air conditioning. If a place or vehicle says “air con” on the outside,  it will generally be a little more expensive. However, your chances of dying by heat stroke may be a little reduced as well. Modes of transportation get cheaper and more dense if they’re “no air con”. Don’t even ask what a “jeerpney’” is. 9.  You Can Get Food Delivered From Almost Anywhere When I was in Manila, places that I never thought would engage in food service delivery were happy to send someone at all hours. I am talking about McDonalds , Burger King, TGIFridays, and ...
