		<title>HK Summer IFF 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Watched several movies featured at Hong Kong Summer Int&#8217;l Film Festival.
1) Dancing Dreams - Teenagers Perform &#8220;Kontakthof&#8221; by Pina Bausch
Dir: Anne Linsel, Rainer Hoffmann

Those (like me) who hoped to see world-renowned choreographer Pina Bausch dancing in the movie will be disappointed. The film is a documentary of a group of youngsters rehearsing one of Bausch&#8217;s famous dance [...]]]></description>

		<title>The web means the end of forgetting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An interesting and inspiring article on how the social media has changed our lives. “Gossip is no longer the resource of the idle and of the vicious but has become a trade.”
Maybe just a decade ago people were still trying to fake their identities when they chatted with strangers through ICQ or MSN. Now people [...]]]></description>

		<title>A song for England&#8217;s defeat</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Listen to BBC radio 5&#8217;s song lamenting England&#8217;s defeat by Germany at World Cup 2010.
Blame the referee. Blame the Premier League. Blame Capello. Blame everything and everyone.
Those who believe that if the disallowed goal was counted England would have won are just too naive.
Why not just face the reality, admit your deficiency, swallow the bitterness, and move [...]]]></description>

		<title>Revolutionary Road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Written by Richard Yates. It&#8217;s a story set in 1950s about an US middle-class couple, April and Frank, who was bored with their suburban lives and decided to move to Paris. It ended up in betrayal and tragedy.
The story lingers in my mind for a very long time after I finished reading the book. I keep thinking [...]]]></description>

		<title>German Film Forum Real Life On Screen: Whisky mit Wodka</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Directed by Andreas Dresen. The film was about a beloved actor Otto whose alcoholism made him missing the filming of a new movie. This led to the producer hiring a younger actor Arno to shoot the scenes twice as Otto&#8217;s backup. Competition on and off screen between Otto and Arno, and one was bound to lose&#8230; Whiskey and vodka should [...]]]></description>

The story is about an aging film director, Guido Contini,  who is experiencing mid-life crisis.

		<title>高野山 Koyasan, Japan</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Koyasan (located near Osaka) is the monastic centre founded 12 centuries ago by the priest Kukai (Kobo Daishi) for the study and practice of Esoteric Buddhism. Before I went there I thought there was only a temple, but actually the place was a complex of temples, pagodas, Buddhist statuary and a cemetary of some of the most famous [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arts in Shanghai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I guess it&#8217;s no surprise that Shanghai&#8217;s arts scene is much more flourished than what we have in Hong Kong. There are a couple of artist clusters like 田子坊, which unfortunately has become a bit too commercialised. And the city government is doing a good job in turning deserted industrial buildings into museums and art [...]]]></description>

		<title>World Expo, Shanghai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Frankly I wansn&#8217;t particularly keen on visiting the World Expo, but as it&#8217;s held in Shanghai somehow we all felt &#8216;obliged&#8217; to go there and have a look.
No doubt a lot of efforts have been put into it and the event is overall speaking well organised. However, as it&#8217;s held in the most populated country in the world, one should [...]]]></description>
