...places I have lived. Ian A.M. Robertson Kobe, Japan Liam Fitzpatrick's article, "Noodling together," about the intersection of Italian and Chinese food in Hong Kong, was interesting, but the notion that Hong Kong kids are "pestering their parents for 'Italian wontons' (ravioli)" seems to have dropped from the sky. People in Hong Kong are more accustomed to eating Cantonese fresh shrimp dumplings, which have a thinner wrap than the Italian version. The reference to the "shared use of thick tomato sauce as the basis of many dishes" in Italian and Chinese cuisine was also puzzling. Go to any Cantonese...

They rarely, if ever, change. And if routes are amended...
...hall's 115-ft. ceiling, then hung from it a patently artificial but weirdly persuasive "sun" made from 144 yellow lightbulbs behind a giant semicircular screen. Then he pumped the room full of mist. During a six-month run that ended in March 2004, Eliasson's make-believe sky drew some 2 million visitors. A lot of them spent long stretches lying on their backs, gazing blissfully upward...
