5 Chinese eating habits explained
No doubt you once thought that as soon as your skills were honed, you?d become the chopstick-wielding version of Edward Scissorhands, embarking on a masterful two-pronged exploration of China?s culinary culture.
Well, not quite.
Chinese dining etiquette is built on tradition, not dexterity.
We asked Lawrence Lo, founder of LHY Etiquette Consultancy Limited, to explain the enigmatic cultural origins of some common table manners, just in time for your Chinese New Year banquet.

Mumbai Queer Pride Week 2011
The multi-colored flags get hoisted tomorrow afternoon January 29 at 3 p.m. for the annual Queer Azaadi March down August Kranti Maidan to Girgaum Chowpatty.
Of note, the lead up to Mumbai's main pride parade this year has been bigger, better and more bold with Azad Bazaar, India's first LGBT pride store, and Queer Azaadi Mumbai (QAM) leading the way.
In the previous three years the event was the main parade. This year the event is a week-long and being held at various locations across town leading up to tomorrow's march.

Gun Hill Road
Film Reviews: Reminiscent of last year's "La Mission" in pitting a macho Latino dad against an only child's emerging sexual identity, writer-director Rashaad Ernesto Green's first feature, "Gun Hill Road," is earnest and well cast, but less involving than it should be. Pedestrian execution and TV-familiar leads suggest smallscreen rather than theatrical destinations.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/variety/headlines/~3/zMq9YizHry0/VE1117944424
