...with a neighborhood friend. Without knowing it, they were learning and developing some very important life skills--memory, math, spelling, vocabulary, negotiation, competition and teamwork. While there are less materialistic ways to acquire and develop these various skills, it was quite interesting to watch them play. KAREN ANN MILLER New Orleans...
Looks as if Pokemon fever doesn't stop at any one place. In Korea a company that produces pastry snacks made a new product that includes character stickers from the Pokemon series.

...absence of a long winemaking tradition in Australia and New Zealand has left local vintners free to innovate while adopting the best techniques from the Old World. Years ago, France, Italy and Spain were also new wine-growing regions. Given the pace of change in oenology and consumer attitudes, perhaps within a few decades Australia and New Zealand could be giving the European winemakers a run for their money.
