Those people in Japan have really weird tastes compared to Americans. What's new? Rattlesnake ice cream! It's part of an annual event at the Namjatown theme park. Also include is cow tongue, Indian curry, cheese and even cactus!
Other ice creams available at the Sunshine City complex in Ikebukuro until September 30 include saury (a type of fish), shrimp, wasabi (Japanese horseradish), roasted eggplant, rice, tofu and salad.
All are either vanilla or chocolate based, though the fishy flavour of the saury ice-cream creeps in after the second and third spoon.
The cow tongue ice cream is a mixture of vanilla and beef broth with small red chunks of tongue.
Even Japanese customers -- by now used to blends such as green tea, red potato, and sweet bean ice cream which would be distinctly unorthodox elsewhere -- were stunned at the array of flavours.
Yum?

India is helping Nepal to foster democracy in light of the recent political turmoil. The King of Nepal tried to institute anti-democratic, fascist, policies in the start of this year. The elected officals of Nepal didn't like this and united in their opposition to the king. As a result the king acquiesced to the opposition and democracy has come out stronger than ever before.
India is looking to lend some knowledge to Nepal.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

More than 60 years after it was seized by communists, the Romanian government is to hand back one of the country's most popular tourist sites, the fabled Dracula Castle, to its former owner, the culture minister said Tuesday.
The castle, worth an estimated $25 million US, was owned by the late Queen Marie and bequeathed to her daughter Princess Ileana in 1938. It was confiscated by communists in 1948 and fell into disrepair. It will be transferred on Friday to Dominic van Hapsburg, a New York architect who inherited the castle from Princess Ileana decades after the communists seized it, minister Adrian Iorgulescu told a news conference.
Van Hapsburg is a descendant of the Hapsburg dynasty which ruled Romania for a period starting in the late 17th century.
The hand-over ceremony will take place Friday at noon in the 14th century castle's museum deep within the fortress in Trans...Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Iran has followed President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's recent letter to President Bush with explicit requests for direct talks on its nuclear program, according to U.S. officials, Iranian analysts and foreign diplomats.
The eagerness for talks demonstrates a profound change in Iran's political orthodoxy, emphatically erasing a taboo against contact with Washington that has both defined and confined Tehran's public foreign policy for more than a quarter-century, they said. Though the Tehran government in the past has routinely jailed its citizens on charges of contact with the country it calls the "Great Satan," Ahmadinejad's May 8 letter was implicitly endorsed by Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and lavished with praise by perhaps the most conservative ayatollah in the theocratic government.
"You know, two months ago nobody would believe that Mr. Khamenei and Mr....Write Comment (0 Comments) |

The current migration of Mexicans and Central Americans to the United States is one of the largest diasporas in modern history, experts say.
Roughly 10 percent of Mexico's population of about 107 million is now living in the United States, estimates show. About 15 percent of Mexico's labor force is working in the United States. One in every 7 Mexican workers migrates to the United States.
Mass migration from Mexico began more than a century ago. It is deeply embedded in the history, culture and economies of both nations. The current wave began with Mexico's economic crisis in 1982, accelerated sharply in the 1990s with the U.S. economic boom, and today has reached record dimensions.
It is unlikely to ebb anytime soon.
"There is no scenario outside of catastrophic attack on the United States that would make immigration stop," said Demetrios Papademetriou, president of the...Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Former Juventus of Turin defender Nicola Caricola - who is married to South African fashion model Tanya Fourie - has been charged by Italian police with supplying cocaine to former team-mate Gianluca Vialli.
This follows a mushrooming investigation of former Juve players' alleged links to drugs trafficking. The probe had led to the arrest of former Italy international Michele Padovano, police sources said on Sunday. Caricola, a friend of Padovano, 39, who played in the Juve defence line in the early 1990s, apparently settled into family life in Genoa with Fourie.
Carabinieri paramilitary police force investigators have been quoted by the press as saying Caricola in 2004 twice supplied Vialli with cocaine for personal use.
Caricola has been charged with trafficking cocaine, although it is unclear whether he is to be indicted as the amounts involved were apparently limited.
Padovano...Write Comment (0 Comments) |

As reported Kate Moss plans to launch her own clothing line - but not any time soon. "It's one of the options she's considering in the long term, after she's finished modelling," her spokeswoman told WWD this week “ which won't be for "three or four years". Kates' current contracts include: Rimmel, Virgin Mobile, Dior, Roberto Cavalli, Longchamp, Stella McCartney, Bvlgari, Nikon and David Yurman. Kate is rumoured to return to fashion houses Burberry and possibly even Chanel, both of which had previously severed ties with the model after the cocaine scandal.

The concept of beauty changes with the times. What is beautiful today, might not be considered beautiful tomorrow. On the other hand, what was beautiful 20 years ago is not the ideal beauty today.
Today it seems fashion designers tend to favour the wafer thin model as the clothes hanger for their latest designs. Toothpick models like Jodie Kidd and Kate Moss are what most designers look for and what most fashion magazines love to fill their pages with.
Even store window mannequins are modelled on the popular models of the time, so at the moment, the ultra-skinny mannequin is big business. In Spain however, the sight of wafer-thin manniquins or models like Esther Cañadas on the catwalks could soon be a thing of the past.
Amid mounting concern about so-called slimming diseases, surprisingly it is the bosses of Spain’s biggest fashion companies, who are putting an end to the ultra-ski...Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has written a letter to President Bush, a spokesman for Iran's hard-line government said Monday. The letter proposed "new solutions for getting out of international problems and the current fragile situation in the world," government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham told a news conference in Tehran, but he declined to elaborate on the contents.
"It is not an open letter," Elham said, of the first such missive an Iranian president has dispatched in the 27 years since Washington severed diplomatic relations with Tehran. Iran's foreign minister, Manouchehr Mottaki, delivered the letter on Monday to the Switzerland's ambassador in Tehran, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi told the Associated Press. The Swiss maintain a U.S. interests section in their embassy.
There was no immediate response from U.S. officials.

Sudan's government and the largest Darfur rebel group agreed Friday to sign a peace plan, a top U.S. envoy said, marking major progress in an internationally backed effort to end the death and destruction in western Sudan.
Two smaller rebel groups were still resisting, but U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick said acceptance by faction leader Minni Minnawi was key. "Today the largest group, Minni Minnawi's, has agreed to sign and the government of Sudan have agreed to sign as well," Zoellick told The Associated Press. "Not all the movements are in accord, but we're already getting phone calls that people with (rebel faction leader) Abdel Wahid (Nur) believe he has made a mistake."
The Nur faction walked out of negotiations in the Nigerian capital before dawn Friday, as had another rebel group, the Justice and Equality Movement. But with the government and the Minn...Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Despite a formal request from the U.N. Security Council, Iran has not provided international inspectors with new information about the country's nuclear program and has accelerated, rather than curbed, uranium-enrichment activities, according to sources familiar with a report the inspectors plan to issue today.
Iran announced two weeks ago that it had used a "cascade" -- or array -- of 164 centrifuges to enrich uranium for nuclear fuel. Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency are expected to confirm in the report that Iran ran the cascade successfully, but several officials with knowledge of the nuclear program said yesterday that the cascade was no longer operating and that a number of the networked centrifuges had crashed during a fairly rushed process. It remains unclear whether Iran managed to enrich a small quantity of uranium to a level of 3.5 percent, as Pres...Write Comment (0 Comments) |

Police arrested three people Tuesday in the triple bomb attack that ripped apart a Sinai beach resort promenade at the height of Egypt's tourist season, killing at least 24 people and injuring more than 60, many of them foreigners. The arrests took place near the scene of Monday's bloody attack in the town of Dahab, but police did not immediately provide any further information, including whether the suspects were locals, or had connections with international terror groups.
The nearly simultaneous blasts were so powerful they blew out storefronts along the crowded promenade of shops, restaurants and bars and sent body parts flying into the nearby Gulf of Aqaba. Hours after the bombings, shards of glass lay in piles along with white tiles stained with bloody footprints.
The explosions came a day after

Police hunted Monday for chimpanzees that escaped from a Sierra Leone preserve and mauled a group of American and local sightseers, killing one man and injuring four people.
The U.S. Embassy warned Americans against travelling to the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary, where the chimps escaped before Sunday's attack on a taxicab.
The Sierra Leonean driver died as the chimps ripped his body apart, and three Americans were treated at a hospital for minor injuries, said Oliver Somasa, a top police official.
Another Sierra Leonean man in the group had his hand amputated after the mauling, Somasa said. U.S. officials had no further comment. The Americans were in Sierra Leone to help build a new embassy building, Somasa said.
Armed police were searching Monday for 27 chimpanzees, Somasa said, while four others had already returned on their own accord to the reserve.
Somosa said it w...Write Comment (0 Comments) |
