Paradise Malahide Hotel (also spelled Paradis Malahide) is an amazing hotel on the shores of Lake Kivu, near Gisenyi Rwanda. The hotel occupies a small peninsula that's surrounded by the lake water, making it incredibly serene, peaceful and beautiful.
One my latest trip to Rwanda, my wife, son, and my Dad and I, all stayed at Paradis Malahide Hotel for a few nights to relax and enjoy Lake Kivu.
We had a bungalow style room, which cost about $90 US per night for a double, self contained.
The highlight for me was the actual grounds of the hotel, being about to get incredible views of Lake Kivu while relaxing on an outdoor sofa. The service at Paradis Malahide and the food - particularly breakfast - was also incredible.
If you visit Gisenyi, Rwanda, and have a few days to relax at Lake Kivu, I would highly recommend Paradise Malahide.

Tourists Enjoy Cultures of Ethnic Minority during National Day Holiday
Tourists swarmed to southwest China's Yunnan Province for the culture and folklore of its ethnic minorities during the week-long National Day holiday.
The New Rice Festival of the Va ethnic minority kicked off on Friday in Yunnan's Cangyuan Va Autonomous County. The three-day event has also attracted a large number of tourists from across the country.
As a tradition, the Va people clean their courtyard to store harvested rices, corns and chillies during the festival.
It's another tradition for the Va people to renovate their bamboo bridges in autumn each year, a job done over dancing and singing.
Tourists joined Va people in this activity and together they passed through the newly renovated bridge, which symbolizes a lane towards health and wealth.
Meanwhile, many enjoyed a hot air balloon ride to get a bird's eye view of the spectacular scenery of the Hani Rice Terraces, an iconic tourist product of Yuanyang County and an agricultural wonder created by the Hani ethnic minority.

22-Course THAI FOOD! | Rare Ingredients at Sorn (ศรณ์) | Best Restaurants in Bangkok!
►Check out Pup ( Yod ( and Ice ( for amazing food!
►Read my blog post for details:
I had a special opportunity to eat at Sorn (ศรณ์), a newly opened fine dining Thai restaurant - the only of its kind in Bangkok specializing in only Southern Thai food. And since Southern Thai food is my personal favorite regional variations of Thai cuisine (my wife is from the South of Thailand), I was very very excited.
Sorn (ศรณ์) Restaurant is set in a beautifully restored home, just on the back side of Phrom Phong. It’s like a museum when you step inside, filled with history of Southern Thailand, the people, food, ingredients, and tools used.
One of the greatest things about Sorn (ศรณ์) and owners and chefs is that they don’t take any shortcuts. All the chili curry pastes, which form the base for many dishes, are pounded by hand, making sure everything has maximum flavor potential. Even the rice is cooked in a claypot, traditional style, that’s very rare to find anymore. Additionally, 99.9% of the ingredients are not just from Thailand, but sourced directly from Southern Thailand. Some of the ingredients are impossible to find in Bangkok, and only seasonally available in a tiny region of Southern Thailand. Chef Yod and Khun Ice have done extensive research and traveling around Thailand sourcing only the best ingredients, and it really shows.
Here are some of the 22 dishes (there were a few other dishes as well that I didn’t include to save time) we ate in this fine dining Southern Thai food experience:
Cashew nut relish (น้ำพริกกากหมู)
Sand mole crabs (จักจั่นทะเล)
2 C° Lobster (กุ้งมังกร 7สี)
Lobster claw and head curry (จอแหร้ง)
Gems on crab stick (กรรชูเปียง)
Grilled southern beef (เนื้อกอและ)
Rice mix (ข้าวยำ)
Grilled chili paste (น้ำชุบพรก)
Yellow curry (แกงเหลือง)
Fish innards curry (แกงไตปลา)
Stink beans and squid (ผัดสะตอ)
Clear soup (แกงจืดลูกรอก)
Grilled crispy pork (คั่วกลิ้งหมูย่าง)
Coconut rice, shrimp curry (ข้าวมันแกง)
Torch ginger flower sorbet (ล้างปาก)
Mutant coconut, ice cream (ไอติมน้ำตาลมะพร้าว)
Fruits and ice (ส้มฉุน)
It was an incredible meal, with some ingredients I had never seen or tried before. What’s unique and fascinating about Sorn (ศรณ์) Restaurant is that they’ve taken Southern Thai food and adapted it into a fine dining environment by sourcing top ingredients, and keeping things traditional while occasionally using modern technique to increase flavor and quality.
It’s a high end, gourmet Thai meal experience, and it was a real treat!

Yunnan | Wikipedia audio article
This is an audio version of the Wikipedia Article:
Yunnan
Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Yunnan (云南) is a province of the People's Republic of China, located in the far southwest of the country. It spans approximately 394,000 square kilometres (152,000 sq mi) and has a population of 45.7 million (as of 2009). The capital of the province is Kunming, formerly also known as Yunnan. The province borders the Chinese provinces Guangxi, Guizhou, Sichuan, and the Tibet Autonomous Region, and the countries Vietnam, Laos, and Myanmar.
Yunnan is situated in a mountainous area, with high elevations in the northwest and low elevations in the southeast. Most of the population lives in the eastern part of the province. In the west, the altitude can vary from the mountain peaks to river valleys as much as 3,000 metres (9,800 ft). Yunnan is rich in natural resources and has the largest diversity of plant life in China. Of the approximately 30,000 species of higher plants in China, Yunnan has perhaps 17,000 or more. Yunnan's reserves of aluminium, lead, zinc and tin are the largest in China, and there are also major reserves of copper and nickel.
The Han Empire first recorded diplomatic relations with the province at the end of the 2nd century BC. It became the seat of a Sino-Tibetan-speaking kingdom of Nanzhao in the 8th century AD. Nanzhao was multi-ethnic, but the elite most-likely spoke a northern dialect of Yi. The Mongols conquered the region in the 13th century, with local control exercised by warlords until the 1930s. From the Yuan dynasty onward, the area was part of a central-government sponsored population movement towards the southwestern frontier, with two major waves of migrants arriving from Han-majority areas in northern and southeast China. As with other parts of China's southwest, Japanese occupation in the north during World War II forced another migration of majority Han people into the region. These two waves of migration contributed to Yunnan being one of the most ethnically diverse provinces of China, with ethnic minorities accounting for about 34 percent of its total population. Major ethnic groups include Yi, Bai, Hani, Zhuang, Dai and Miao.
Rethinking Pei: A Centenary Symposium, Panel 3: Power, Capital, and People
Panel 3 Participants:
Seng Kuan, moderator
Edward Eigen: “I. M. Pei and the ‘Big Plan’: The Several Lives of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library & Museum”
André Bideau: “Between the Superblock and the Pyramid. I. M. Pei and Araldo Cossutta at La Défense”
Cole Roskam: “The Fragrant Hill Hotel: Reassessing the Politics of Tradition and Abstraction in China’s Early Reform Era”
Shirley Surya: “Pei's Office and Singapore's Urban Core: Corporate Architecture, Symbolic Aestheticization and Economic Pragmatism”
Kellogg Wong: “I. M. Pei & Partners, the Pei Team, and Singapore”
A two-part symposium examining the work and life of I. M. Pei from multiple vantage points. Organized by the Harvard GSD with M+, Hong Kong, and the Faculty of Architecture, The University of Hong Kong.
Ieoh Ming Pei is one of the most celebrated yet under-theorized architects of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Although Pei’s six-decade career is mostly identified with his unwavering interest in cultural synthesis and the power of pure geometrical form, his modes of practice demand further investigation of their intertwinement with the multiple historical and discursive moments of modern architecture. The two-day symposium will include panel discussions and scholarly presentations that showcase new research on Pei’s manifold contributions to the built environment. Notable alumni from Pei’s office will discuss the emergence of a new kind of architectural practice in the postwar era. Among the topics to be addressed in the paper sessions are technological innovations with concrete, the glass curtain wall, and structural designs; Pei’s longstanding affinities for China’s landscape and vernacular traditions; his legacy on major urban spaces in Boston and other cities around the world; and the increasingly global and transnational conditions of architectural production that Pei successfully navigated. Organized with M+, the new museum for visual culture being built in Hong Kong, this symposium is part of a yearlong celebration of the 100th birthday of Ieoh Ming (I. M.) Pei MArch ’46. Both I. M. and his wife, Eileen Pei GSD ’44, studied at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, as did their sons Chien Chung (Didi) Pei, AB ’68, MArch ’72, and Li Chung (Sandi) Pei, AB ’72, MArch ’76. Pei was also an assistant professor of architecture at the GSD. In March the GSD held a panel discussion, led by Harry Cobb AB ’47, MArch ’49, which focused on the formative years of I. M. Pei’s career as well as some of his special friendships, influences, and projects.
A second symposium, co-organized by M+ and the Department of Architecture at the University of Hong Kong, will be held in Hong Kong on December 14-15.
These two symposia are made possible with the generous support of the C Foundation.
