...Uyana is near some of the richest architectural treasures in the world. Just up the road is Sigiriya, the extraordinary rock fortress built in the 5th century, and widely hailed as the eighth wonder of the world. The ruined capitals of Anuradhapura, founded in the 4th century B.C., and 900-year-old Polonnaruwa are a shortish drive away, and so are the cave temples at Dambulla, which date from the 1st century B.C. They're so amazing - and so amazingly well preserved - that you could stay in a hut and be happy. But how much better to return, after...

On the heels of an April 7 concert to promote choice, fronted by a lesbian-led rock group at its Lulu Chow Wang campus center, Wellesley College’s GBLSTA group Spectrum plans to host its annual Dyke Ball on April...
...Japan's proverbial reputation as an easy target for promoters is not, to be fair, entirely deserved. One of the great pleasures of being based in Tokyo is the fact that you can catch a great cutting-edge international rock, hip-hop or electronic music act on any given weekend. Japan practically keeps jazz alive, with legendary performers playing most weeks at clubs like Tokyo's Blue Note - provided you're willing to mortgage your house to pay the admission. So, if the same country that turns out for the likes of Bloc Party also keeps Michael Jackson's career...
