...Japanese institution, catering to women seeking to drink with attentive and attractive but unthreatening men. Hosts constantly clean up the table, make drinks and refill glasses, light cigarettes and pamper clients. It's an inversion of the traditional ginza hostess venue, i.e. a gentleman's club without striptease or lap dancing. And it's not cheap. A bottle of '60s-vintage Dom Perignon goes for $10,000, and a few hours of non-sexual entertainment costs some of the more addicted customers as much as $100,000 a month...
...Smith says that his most memorable coaching experience came when he persuaded a 9-year-old girl, who “was convinced that she couldn’t do anything at the pool,” to swim in a meet.

...Germany, Alaska, Taiwan, and Japan. IIIZ+ performed a free concert on Wednesday, Oct. 17 in the Tsai Auditorium at the Center for Government and International Studies.The zither is a large stringed instrument used in East Asian music; with or without frets, it is something like a cross between a lap guitar and a harp.

The rooftop patio hosts just about every hokey team-building exercise ever invented. Trainees regularly participate in 100-person lap sits, in which each person sits on the next one's knees, forming a circle while trying mightily to stay balanced. There are blindfolded "trust walks" and, until recently, group-dancing first thing in the morning. Sadly, Morning Boogie was phased out after the speaker system got blown away...
...ASPCA culture instead of a cramped metal cage at Mutts R Us. And I'm a genuine dog lover: I cried at the end of Old Yeller just like everyone else. Our dog is one of Miami's most coddled canines. (He's on my lap right now as I write this because a loud thunderstorm is spooking him.) But there was also something a bit over the top about the process - something that ultimately made me want to shout, "This is a dog, for God's sake, not the next Dalai Lama...
