Il gule wamkulu, "la grande danza", è un culto segreto
dell'etnia Chewa praticato in Malawi, Zambia e Mozambico. E' una
cerimonia che viene celebrata dopo il raccolto e in molte occasioni
importanti della vita come nascite, matrimoni, passaggi, funerali e
oggi anche manifestazioni politiche. Abbiamo assistito alcune volte
a questa rappresentazione in modo casuale e alcune volte, come
questa, abbiamo avuto l'onore di essere invitati dal capo
villaggio. Il gule wamkulu vanta più di duemila
maschere che rappresentano diverse figure come "l'invidia", "il
lestofante", "l'ubriacone" e c'è anche una maschera che
rappresenta "l'uomo bianco". All'interno del Museo di Chamare della

Andrew Seal makes his case over at Blographia Literaria: Sorry,
Boston. Sorry, L.A. Sorry, D.C. Sorry, San Fran. Sorry, the South.
You have your claims, no doubt, but they are as the claims of
Pushkin, Lermontov, Chekhov, or Gogol. To be sure, Tolstoy and
Dostoevsky do not account for the entirety of Russian literature,
certainly do not exhaust all options, but they are irreplaceable,
irreducible forces upon the landscape of the national literature,
and so it is with New York and Chicago, Chicago and New York.
There’s plenty to chew on in the comments, too. (Via The Book

with young children to check this company out. The village is quiet
and the trails throughout are great for children to ride bikes and
easy to lug all of the kids stuff to the beach. Our whole family
had a terrific time!! The best tip I could give would be to call
the office and ask about the amenities provided in the home you
have reserved. We found that we could have packed a lot less. The

were bikes to borrow, and even beach toys in the house we stayed

costs just ¥290 (under US$3). Alas, the end-to-end trip lasts
just ten minutes.

I love the new Peachwave Self Serve Frozen Yogurt store. I went
last weekend and already returned last night. There is a whole wall
of frozen yogurt flavors and a counter of self-serve toppings to
choose from. Everything costs the same, so there is no confusion on
what you should pile on; everything is .36 an ounce. I got the
lactose-free pineapple soft serve and topped it with toasted
coconut, fresh mango and pineapple. Just a little bit of paradise
in Beaverton!

unfortunate that it was so cloudy though because we couldn't see
the volcano. The nice thing about the rain was that it made the hot
hot hot water tolerable It was really amazing and very roman

LexiDog Boutique & Social Club was founded in May 2002 by
Portland native Suzanne Hein, and of course her Min Pin, Lexi.
Suzanne's extensive experience as a Vice-President of Merchandising
for a large regional retailer created the desire to continue her
passion for retail with her own company. Her love of Lexi gave her
the inspiration for LexiDog; a place where dogs are our children
who deserve to be a little spoiled, as well as a 'social' place
where parents could bring their dog to a fun, loving and safe
daycare while they were at work, and enjoy 'social' activities
centered around their pet.

Most pubs don't have any waitstaff, and you're expected to go to
the bar and order a beverage and your meal—this can be
particularly disconcerting when you are seated in a "restaurant"
upstairs but are still expected to go downstairs and get your own
drinks and food.

Cape Maclear (aka Chembe) is a small fishing village on Lake Nyasa
(Lake Malawi) in Malawi. It has one dirt road leading into (and
straight out of) town. Along this road, there are a few hostels,
some dive shops, a handful of vendors selling curios and fruit and
a few bars. The pace of life here is . . . very . . . slow.

Alaska is one of the most rewarding and demanding places to visit
in the United States. The time it takes to get there and the rugged
terrain that surrounds it makes it quite a journey, but once
you’re there, you’ll
experience a land that no other place in the world can match.
