...Meerbar, www.meerbar.de, in the lobby of one of Gehry's three neighboring asymmetrical office buildings, chef Wong Zhen Kun keeps up with the architect's venue by creating interesting seafood dishes like red snapper with smoked tofu wrapped in a banana leaf. Wong, who also heads up the perennially popular Bug, www.bug-restaurant.de, serves up fare there that nods to his native China in a bustling dining room kitted out with Asian-inspired furnishings. Next door, the eye-catching, raw-boned interiors of Riva, www.riva-duesseldorf.de, are background to Ralf Polfers' Continental cuisine, including such standouts as saffron fish cream soup...

Kun, a mother of two, finds cases involving children as victims particularly difficult. "When I got samples for a case where a 6-year-old was mauled by dogs, I was glad I was alone in the lab," says Kun...
When Korean university student Chang Je Hyung did a brief stint at Samsung's office in Berlin last year, it made him angry. He had to help prepare a holiday trip to Germany for chairman Lee Kun Hee and his family. According to Chang, dozens of Samsung employees spent two months sweating over details of the private visit, even going to fancy restaurants to try out food the chairman might eat. Instead of tipping off the mainstream media, Chang sent a first-person account to online newspaper OhmyNews earlier this year. It created a sensation...
