...scoreboard” or “we’re better endowed (financially),” keep your knickerbockers on and listen. Just like MTV’s “My Super Sweet Sixteen” made your 16th birthday (where your dad unveiled a doorless 1988 Nissan Sentra as your wheels for the next two years before saying—in complete seriousness—“Pimpin’ ain’t easy”) feel worthless, your friendly neighborhood John Song will demolish Harvard’s already below-average self-esteem...
...even recognize a neighborhood near my home. I hardly knew it was my city," says film director Xu Jinglei, 33, born and bred in Beijing. Astonishing buildings are starting to appear: the iconic Bird's Nest Olympic stadium; Rem Koolhaas' cantilevered towers for broadcaster CCTV; the National Theater, a doorless silver dome perched on the corner of Tiananmen Square like a newly landed UFO.

In Padua, as in all of Italy, the preferred pastime is people-watching and caffeinating. There is no better temple to both than the elegant Caffè Pedrocchi, famously "doorless" because it operated without closing from its opening in 1831 until World War I in 1916. Pedrocchi now keeps regular hours - namely, breakfast through midnight snack.
