Japanese Name Order: Family Name First

post from Japan Probe on 01 August 2011 08:03:25 PM. © Japan Probe

A program on Japan’s NTV network tells viewers that they should no longer use English-style name order when introducing themselves in English: Introducing yourself as “Takeshi Tanaka” is “old-fashioned” English. Now, you should introduce yourself as “Tanaka Takeshi.” [Family name first, in the way one says names when speaking Japanese.] As proof, they cite the [...]

If Virginia is for lovers, Boston is for drinkers -- and not just because of bigoted ethnic stereotypes. The city is rife with all manner of places to drown your sorrows (or saturate your happiness) in brews of every creed and pedigree. If you've ever wanted to live in "Southie" after watching movies like The Town and The Departed, live your Hollywood dreams and pull up a seat at the L Street Tavern, better known as "that bar in Good Will Hunting". Craft suds more your style? Head to The Lower Depths, where every night feels like hanging out in Jim Koch's basement. For those looking to get down in Beantown, here's your answer.

???217-221?, ??????

Tel : +86 21 5404 2303

The establishment mentioned actually provided many qipao pieces for the movie.

Prices starts from RMB 1,800 for a simple silk qipao to RMB 10,000 for customized pieces. From the specimen we can see in the show, its well worth the premium.

If you want your qipao tailored in a no frills setting. the prices in Fabric Market at LuJiaBang Road starts from RMB 600.

It’s time for another great issue of Perceptive Travel, where this time we venture to two cold places and islands in the Pacific. Regular contributor Michael Buckley goes kayaking in Palau, exploring a postcard-perfect spot that’s now a far cry from when Captain Henry Wilson’s crew got marooned here in 1783.
