Australian F1 Grand Prix - Restaurants and Cafes close to the track
2008-02-07 22:42:00 I'm not the biggest fan of the Formula One Grand Prix, and I don't intend on going to the Albert Park racetrack myself, but since you can't really miss the fact that it is coming up to that time of year again, I thought I'd give some tips to some of our interstate and overseas vistors. So if you are dining on a budget, don't want the marquee food and still want something decent, here are some of my personal tips. Make sure you read the reviews though. Please note that in this article I have included all my reviewed restaurants, but I don't recommend all of them !Fortunately there is a wide range of restaurants and cafes within short walking distance to the Albert Park track and several tram lines make reaching other restaurants easy.Fitzroy Street, St KildaFitzroy Street is on the south end of the track and Armstrong Street in Middle Park is right next to the west end of the track.

France and Germany: Ashtrays removed from cafes and restaurants today
2008-01-02 14:51:00 Throughout France today, 2008 was ushered in with a countrywide smoking ban in restaurants, cafes, and discos that smokers have been anticipating for months. In early 2007, a similar law banned smoking in public spaces and work places, but this is the biggie — no more smoking at the table, over an espresso, or on the dance floor. Although the law was to go into effect at midnight December 31, officials decided not to enforce the law until Wednesday, as the removal of ashtrays at midnight on New Years Eve could disrupt the party. We can respect that. Reports in the Associated Press and AFP indicate that smokers in Paris today have mostly been following the law, stepping outside cafes to have a quick smoke. Meanwhile, in Germany, eight states, including Berlin, also have non-smoking laws going into effect, banning smoking in public places. The measure, however, seems more flexible – as fines won’t be imposed for the time being (until the public “gets use...

Police in Iran Shut 24 Internet Cafes
2007-12-18 23:31:00 TEHRAN (Reuters) — The Iranian police have closed down 24 Internet cafes and other coffee shops in as many hours, detaining 23 people, as part of a broad crackdown on immoral behavior, official news media said Sunday. The action in Tehran Province was the latest move in a campaign against Western fashions and other practices deemed incompatible with Islamic values, including women flouting strict dress codes and barber shops offering men Western hair styles. “Using immoral computer games, storing obscene photos and the presence of women wearing improper hijab were among the reasons why they have been closed down,” said Col. Nader Sarkari, a provincial police commander. Since Mahmoud Ahmadinejad won the presidency in 2005, promising a return to the values of the 1979 Islamic revolution, hard-liners have pressed for tighter controls on behavior. Colonel Sarkari told the official Islamic Republic News Agency that the police had inspected 435 coffee shops in the past 24 hours, and...

New Asian Dog Cafes: Dining With, Not On, Pets
2007-11-02 14:35:00 A new Wall Street Journal article highlights some changes afoot in the Far East. The piece, Asians Get Passionate About Pets, was not in the culinary section of the WSJ, thankfully.In a nearby neighborhood, another type of restaurant serves a traditional Korean dish of dog soup. While Mr. Huh thinks that these days more Koreans regard dogs as pets rather than meals, eating dogs "is a part of our food culture."Mr. Huh is the owner of one of several new establishments cropping up throughout Tokyo and elsewhere. In trendy urban areas, new cafes allow customers to dine with resident cats and dogs. The restaurants cater to those who don't want the responsibility of owning a pet, but want some feline or canine ineraction.Sounds so Upper East Side, but yet...Pet cafes like Bau House aren't to everyone's taste.

Internet Cafes rock...Get Excited!
2007-06-06 16:20:00 The newest afterschool hotspot belongs to the internet cafe. Where else can you go to travel the world in an hour, spill your heart out to millions, and get the latest news, gossip, and trends from every possible source? Some cafe host, however, are not taking the necessary precautions to avoid internet pornography and underage sites from being accessed. So it seems it will become more difficult for people in China if they don't have access to a computer at home. My thoughts are definitely to protect our children and that it is more than too easy to access pornography online and on television. However, we must not forget all of the good that computers were invented for and how fascinating it is for individuals to surf the information superhighway.http://feeds.feedb-urner.com/talkintechviajai

Cybercafes as a tickets distribution channel
2006-10-07 09:09:02 There was a news last week regarding the tie up between Sify and IRCTC. The deal mentions that customers can book railway tickets by paying cash at the Sify Iway locations. This will definitely open a new chapter in the way tickets are sold/distributed. Considering that currently the total revenue from online ticketing for Indian Railways roughly stands at a paltry 2%, the room for growth is huge. At the present time, the only way of booking tickets online is through IRCTC website. With this deal two major barriers are broken: 1. Internet access: Even if you choose the best sounding statistic of 37 million internet users (I say “best sounding” because the number of pepole who actually use the Internet at least once a week is just under 10 million), there are lot more people who are trying to book tickets. Going to cybercafe and paying cash to book ticket is just like going to a travel agent. This essentially means many more railway tickets “travel agents” at ...
