...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...
...look a lot like Francois Woo. Woo's surname and taste for Cantonese food reflect his family's origins, three generations ago, in Guangdong province in southern China. His first name and French accent reflect the European culture of his adopted home on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. His children are at college in Perth, Boston and, soon, London.

But today the picture of exclusionary Australia, the continent-size British island just below Asia, has almost faded away. The White Australia Policy, that disgraceful provision whereby no one of Asian or black descent could settle in Australia, was abandoned in the 1960s, never to be revived. Whole suburbs, like Cabramatta in western Sydney, have become Southeast Asian enclaves. Though Australia admits...
...mean to say that this production should have provided an answer. The music and dance evoke the metaphysical uncertainty of Prospero’s island in some terrific ways. Still, a mood is not an intellectual stance. “The Tempest,” as a text, is so experimental and so daring that I cannot understand why this production seemed to be unwilling to wrestle with Shakespeare’s many suggestive questions...
