Moisseev noted that a plane ticket from Moscow to the Russian port of Vladivostok on the Sea of Japan is four times as costly as a ticket connecting Vladivostok and any major city in China or Japan. It takes just hours by train for anyone in Vladivostok or Khabarovsk, separated by China by the Amur River, to reach Chinese commercial hubs like Jixi and Shuangyashan. It takes nearly a week to get to Moscow. In Khabarovsk, the Lada, the boxy, no-frills Soviet compact ubiquitous in European Russia, is vastly outnumbered by Toyotas, Nissans and Hyundais on the highway connecting...
...rules and you’ll have to pay hefty fines and might even get your car towed. Off-street parking is available, but most of the time it’s expensive—at least $150 per month. Park in Harvard spots and you risk a ticket. I gave it up as a lost cause for freshman year and much of sophomore year, but gradually, I learned ways to get around these obstacles. On-street and Harvard parking is unenforced in some places after hours and on weekends. There are a few streets, including one near the Quad...
...home to Filipino-Chinese TV chef Bruce Lim, and you might think you've come to the wrong address: lined with pawnshops, sari-sari (convenience) stores and stalls hawking spit-roasted chickens, the neighborhood is decidedly lacking in the atmosphere you might expect to signal Manila's hottest dining ticket.

Your visit isn't being filmed, but in this intimate dinner theater, which seats...
...Tickets Something else about Jones' stadium is big: the prices. Like baseball parks and basketball-hockey arenas, football stadiums have for decades been evolving into places where an increasing amount of the real estate is devoted to premium-priced seating. In that department, Cowboys Stadium is the new frontier. About a third of the base seating capacity of 73,000 consists of suites - 325 of them - and high-priced "club seats" with access to various bar-lounges at escalating levels of luxury. Those seats require that you first buy a 30-year license, which costs between...
...same, there must be quite a few of those people, because even in a sluggish economy, the new stadium is close to selling out. By mid-September, the Cowboys were reporting that 95% of their club and reserve seats have been sold to season-ticket holders. That's all the more impressive when you remember that the Cowboys, who ruled the NFL in the early '90s, barely rule Texas these days. Between 1972 and 1996 they won five Super Bowls, three of them in the years after Jones bought the team in 1989 and started fiddling energetically with the coaching...
