Japan returns to relaxing in the buff


日本重返一絲不掛的休閒活動

The Year 2003 is about appreciating Japan's age-old comforts in an Edo-period bathhouse theme park where people can pretend they are living back in the 17th and 18th century.Relaxing in the buff in an outdoor hot spring bath has been a favorite Japanese pastime for the last 400 years.No McDonald's or Starbucks in this theme park called "Oedo Onsen Monogatari" set in Odaiba, a suburban part of Tokyo. It's all home grown Japanese comfort food like tempura, noodles and sushi.
一家位在東京郊區的溫泉主題公園[大江溫泉物語]2003年在台場開幕,裡面的陳設充滿古典風味,讓人彷彿回到十七,十八世紀的生活. 四百多年來,光溜溜的泡在戶外溫泉裡一直是日本人喜愛的活動. 這個主題公園也刻意避免麥當勞或是星巴克咖啡等商店,只賣傳統的日本食物,例如關東煮跟壽司.


Love, in Sequins, in Drag and in Nothing at All


情人節劇: 亮片,男扮女裝,或啥也不穿

No matter where theatergoers fall on the romance spectrum, Broadway offers plenty of great date-night opportunities. Old-fashioned lovers might see classics like “Anything Goes” or “The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess.” The more modern couple might head Off Broadway for the puppet action in “Avenue Q.” For couples whose idea of fun runs on the kinky side, the go-to play is the dark comedy “Venus in Fur,” starring Nina Arianda in boots up to here and Hugh Dancy tied to a pole. But as Valentine’s Day nears, several smaller theater companies and downtown performers are revving up alternative approaches to love and sex. There are musicals about sexy, mismatched weirdoes; stand-up comedy about new love; and readings performed in the buff. At least one show offers a meal with the aphrodisiac combo of chocolate waffles and strawberries.

不論你有多浪漫,紐約百老匯總有各種各樣的戲劇,適合出門約會的男女.比較老派的情侶可以選擇經典劇碼,例如[海上情緣]或是[乞丐與蕩婦],而比較摩登的情侶則可前往外百老匯欣賞木偶劇[Q大街].那些偏愛奇情遐想的人,黑色喜劇[穿皮草的維納斯]應該對胃,主要演員包括穿高筒皮靴的阿麗安達,還有綁在柱子上的修丹西. 不過為了情人節,有些小劇團和演員推出了一些另類的,跟性愛相關的表演,例如描寫配錯對的性感情人音樂劇,脫口秀喜劇,以及一絲不掛的劇本朗讀.有的還提供具備催情效果的巧克力草莓鬆餅.
