...Minsuk, architect Koreans love practically everything that comes out of the sea, and the best selection of live seafood can be found at Noryangjin, tel: (82-2) 813 3441, the fish market near Yoido Island. It's an enormous concrete building with row upon row of fishmongers hawking their wares. If you don't want to tote the day's catch home, you can take it to one of the many restaurants adjacent to the building and have your food cooked on the spot. Drinks and a meal will only set you back about $20. The restaurants stay...
...same time. Traditional Polish sour soup and a sausage cost $8; Polish-style duck and sour green apple, $32. Not far away, on Ulica (Polish for street) Belwederska, the Restauracja Polska-Tradycja, or Restaurant Polish-Tradition, serves saddle of deer and homemade dumplings ($20) and fresh smoked fish from the lake region ($7). For those who prefer dancing and a light (not necessarily Polish) meal, Labo, on the fashionable Ulica Mazowiecka, is among Warsaw's most popular clubs.

As Flight 19 finally touched down in Singapore, some 9,000 miles and 18 hours and four minutes after takeoff, the passengers broke...
...little else. Yet their traditional oral culture is of great antiquity; their structure of myth is remarkably coherent and continuous across millenniums, not just centuries; and as anyone can see who visits some of the sacred cave sites scattered across northwestern Australia, their traditions of rock painting--animals and fish of every kind, spirit figures and the imposing, fearsome effigies of the great Rainbow Serpent--are as impressive as anything in the caves of Lascaux or Altamira and tens of thousands of years older. As far as we know, the Australian Aborigines stood at the very dawn of human imagemaking...
Soon after the referendum, Elizabeth II and her cold fish of a consort, Prince Phillip, toured Australia. The crowds were small and more curious than enthusiastic; the media, polite but indifferent. The romantic, near mystical Queen worship that had surrounded her tour in 1954 was gone forever. Being smarter than the monarchists, Elizabeth II could easily read the signs. She openly acknowledged (and was scrupulously careful not to attack) the possibility of a stable republic in Australia. The current Prime Minister, John Howard, is an obdurate monarchist. But the next in line as head of Howard's conservative Liberal Party...
