...first visited Kyoto, I was shocked that public restrooms had no soap, no dispenser full of paper towels - sometimes no toilet paper. In their purses, yamato nadeshiko (women who are, among other things, mindful and prepared) make a point to carry packets of tissue paper with them into the stall, and handkerchiefs to dry their hands. What other country would install devices to mimic the sound of a toilet flushing to discourage the waste of water by modest Japanese anxious to cover the sound of their micturition with multiple flushes...
MARCELL: Growing up I would always have breakfast at Kupat Tahu Gempol, tel: (62-22) 426 0809. This food stall has been serving its famous dish of tofu and peanut sauce since 1965 and now has four other stands around the city, but the same woman still works at the original location, which is down the road from my old house. Just around the block is one of the city's best boutiques, God Incorporated, tel: (62-22) 423 2308. It sells locally made clothing and other gear, and belongs to the members of Koil, Bandung's legendary metal band...
...sweeter kind, like beras kencur, made with kencur root and rice powder. It's good for beginners and not as bitter or medicinal as the jamu more experienced drinkers enjoy. For lunch, I've always loved Warung Nasu Ibu Eha, tel: (62-22) 426 2745, a little food stall deep in the heart of Pasar Cihapit, one of the city's oldest markets. I've been eating there since I was a kid and the menu still hasn't changed. I love the perkedel (corn fritters), rice noodles and the fried tofu. Or you could try picking something...
...weekend on attacks on Baghdad has now turned towards Basra, violence has surged for weeks throughout the Shi'ite south, where Americans have suffered fresh losses in old haunts in the cities of Nasiriyah, Hilla and Diwaniyah. Meanwhile, the Shi'ite infighting in Basra has forced British forces to stall the planned withdrawal of some 1,500 troops. Some 4,000 British troops have been hunkered down at the Basra airport after turning the city over to Iraqi forces last year. So far they have not been drawn from their base into this week's fighting there...
...should probably steer clear of everything but the final track and lead single “Honey.” The 11-song album doesn’t give listeners anything to play while jogging on a Sunday afternoon or standing idly in a steamy shower stall. Instead, chant-like singing and eerie electronic sounds mixed with syncopated drumbeats are used to reinforce Badu’s politically charged lyrics. While the album successfully provokes listeners, it sacrifices some musical quality to its political aims. The “New Amerykah” cover art serves as a blaring warning...
