dark corner of a temple with
doors all shut?

before thee!

Put off thy holy mantle and even like
him come down on the dusty soil!

Shiokara, Japan
Most Japanese food is simple: it
sounds delicious, and it is delicious. But how about raw squid mixed with
salty, fermented squir belly? This is Shiokara, a Japanese staple, and one I used
to hate. However, I am slowly coming around. Once you get used to it and you
have it with good conversation, this food takes on a whole new beauty.
Jellyfish, China
This dish can appear challenging to
those of us who only associate jellyfish with the scary nature of some species
of them. There's also a rubbery texture to jellyfish that some find a little
challenging. However, the Chinese know what they're doing with these things.
They mix jellyfish into salads, pair it with chicken, stir it through sesame
oil.... It's all tasty, and it's all low-fat.
Green ants, Australia
You can keep your witchetty foods, as
far as I'm concerned: too soft, too many guts. If I'm going for bush food, it's
definitely green ants, little insects that are pulled from trees, lightly
crushed between your hands, and then eaten. They're lemony, peppery, and
delicious. Local producers are even putting them on top of goat's cheeses now,
with lemon myrtle, for extra energy. Seriously good.

"Although my passport says I'm a
British citizen, at heart I'm still a Nepali," says 39-year-old Binod
Baral, a restaurateur, social entrepreneur and consultant chef who runs a
restaurant called "Nepali Bhansaghar. "Mo Mo and Roll is my main
business." Baral says sell authentic Nepali dishes. You won't get naan or
tikka masala or tandoori here. Unlike most restaurants, we sellroti Baral says
"You rather get only authentic Nepali food and around 100 varieties of
Mo:Mos.
He was only 18 when Baral, who
originally hails from Pokhara, first set foot on English soil as a kitchen
assistant in just over so decades, his passion for cooking and a hard-work has

member of the Nepali diaspora.

for all these years, Baral now wants to globalize Nepali food. Along with his
Nepal peers from all over the world, Baral is campaigning for better promoting
of Nepali food. He is also writing a Nepali cookbook, which he hopes wellbea
simple guide to Nepali-style cooking for everyone interested.
"Nepali cooking is no rocket
science," he says. "Our cuisine is just about the right heat, the
right amount of spices and a lot of love and simplicity." Given Nepal's

Researchers in the United States and
China are exploring how games on mobile phones can be used to teach children
the Chinese language. The results may help promote the idea of mobile phones as
learning devices, especially in rural areas of China.
Computer scientists from Carnegie
Mellon, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Chinese Academy of
Sciences developed two mobile learning games inspired by traditional Chinese
games that emphasize cooperative playing, songs, and handmade objects. The
Chinese language is more complex than most other languages because it uses
6,000 characters, each corresponding to a syllable or word. One game,
Multimedia Word, has the player recognize and write a Chinese character
correctly, based on hints such as a sketch or photo. A second game, Drumming
Stroke, has a group of players practice writing Chinese characters in tums;
participants must write one then pass the mobile phone to the next player
within the beat of a drum stroke of the character in the correct order, and
then pass the mobile phone to the next player within the beat of a drum.
Initially, the games were tested with
children in Xin'an China. Later, the testing was done at a private school in
Beijing, In both cases, the games showed that students could improve their
knowledge of Chinese characters. 'We believe that the cooperative learning
encouraged by the games contributed to character learning, said Matthew Kam,
assistant professor in Carnegie Mellon's School of Computer Science's
Human-Computer interaction Institute and project director. "The results of
our studies suggest that further development of these games could make
inexpensive mobile phones important leaming tools, particularly for children in
underdeveloped rural areas."
Despite their small screens and low
computing power, Kam said, mobile phones could become a major educational
resource as wireless carriers and mobilephone manufacturers extend sales into
ever more rural areas of the globe. Use of mobilephone-based games for teaching
English literacy has also been investigated to rural children in India and
Kenya.
