Beyond Resort Karon an absolutely stunning resort
Truly private, and truly intimate; Beyond Resort Karon is the only resort on Phuket's grandest beach, Karon Beach
Wow what can I say, such a perfect resort. The staff is so friendly, hotel cleanliness is spotless and the decor is very trendy and modern. Beds are huge and super comfortable and the bedrooms are modern, spacious and air con works a treat. The resort is the only hotel on the beach so you can sit by the pool and listen to the waves crashing on the beach. This was my 3rd time staying at Beyond Resort and I'll definitely will return again.
Karon Beach is in my opinion, the best beach we've been to in Phuket so far. It's very long as wide, so it's easy to find a nice quite spot. Soft sand and beautiful warm water. I loved every day spent here.
Beyond Resort belongs to Kata Group:

Time-Lapse | Kinetic Rain - World's largest kinetic art sculpture @ Changi Airport Terminal 1
World's largest kinetic art sculpture unveiled at Changi Airport
Passengers and airport visitors entering the Departure Check-in Hall at Singapore Changi Airport's Terminal 1 (T1) can expect to stop in their tracks and be captivated by a new art installation. Kinetic Rain, as it is titled, takes pride of place at the terminal, enthralling visitors with its fluidity, distinctive shapes, elegant and refined movements and precision-perfect technology.
Kinetic Rain, installed as part of T1's recent refurbishment, is the icon of the revamped Departure Check-in Hall. This specially commissioned sculpture, a first in an airport globally, comes as a pair, each installed several metres apart from each other and visible from many areas of the Departure Check-in Hall.
Kinetic Rain is made up of 1,216 bronze droplets that transform elegantly into multiple shapes, akin to poetry in motion. Carrying an aviation theme, the key element in every shape shows the movement of flight through slow, fluid movements. Some of the more recognisable shapes include an aeroplane, hot air balloon and a kite. One can also make out a dragon and a flock of birds amongst the 16 different programmed segments.
Each droplet is connected to motors installed in the ceiling of the Departure Check-in Hall. The motors contain a high precision rotary encoder which keeps track of the exact position of each droplet. A computer programme is used to control the movement of the droplets to form Kinetic Rain's unique shapes and patterns. A video on the making-of Kinetic Rain can be viewed here.
Kinetic Rain was created over a span of 20 months. Artists, programmers and technologists were engaged to analyse the space available at T1 and conceptualise a masterpiece that would be representative of the new terminal. The refurbished T1 is aptly themed 'Tropical City' in keeping with Singapore's garden city status and where rain, is very much a part of the tropical climate.
Mr Yeo Kia Thye, Senior Vice President for Airport Operations, Changi Airport Group, said, "When we decided to upgrade Terminal 1 in 2008, we were mindful that people have fond memories of the terminal including the old Mylar Cords, the circular curtain of water that straddled three stories of the building. We wanted an art sculpture, which we found in Kinetic Rain, that was able to add the signature touch linking back to T1's illustrious past in a new and exciting way.
"With more than a thousand raindrops working together in harmony, Kinetic Rain also symbolises the thousands in the airport community who work together every day to provide our passengers and visitors with a positively surprising and memorable Changi Experience."
An audio commentary and official video are also available for visitors who wish to know more about Kinetic Rain. All they have to do is scan the QR code present at the display boards at the T1 Departure Check-in Hall with their smartphones.

Robot Helper in the Restaurant
Restaurant robot delivers the future of food service. Although slow and still in need of human assistance, the restaurant robot does add a sufficient amount of futurism to an otherwise pedestrian dining experience. I saw this robot at the "Supreme Tastes Jiang Cuisine" Restaurant at Marina Square in Singapore.
Supreme Tastes Jiang Nan Cuisine is specialized in Jiang Nan cuisine as the name suggests, as well as Lanzhou Ramen (hand-pulled noodles). It is also the first and only Chinese restaurant that offers healthy multi-grain food in Singapore. The interior design of the restaurant is Jiang Nan style with an open kitchen, where guests could see how the Ramen and the Shanshui beancurd are made in house. Supreme Tastes believes in serving guests with heartily delicious food and heartily sincere service, in the hope to bring a green and healthy dining experience to all diners.

Honey bees in close-up, collecting nectar from flowers
Honey bees in close-up, as they collect nectar from a flower that they return with to their hive, and ultimately turn it into honey.
Honey bees (or honeybees) are bees of the genus Apis, primarily distinguished by the production and storage of honey and the construction of perennial, colonial nests from wax. Honey bees are the only extant members of the tribe Apini, all in the genus Apis. Currently, only seven species of honey bee are recognized, with a total of 44 subspecies, though historically, from six to 11 species have been recognised. Honey bees represent only a small fraction of the roughly 20,000 known species of bees. Some other types of related bees produce and store honey, but only members of the genus Apis are true honey bees. The study of honey bees is known as apiology.

On the Rock - Lifestyle Restaurant in Karon Phuket
On the Rock is one of the oldest established restaurants in Phuket.
Built, you guessed it, on a rock overlooking Karon Beach, this restaurant has great views of the water. Seafood is the specialty, but well-made Italian and traditional Thai dishes are also on the menu. It's part of the Marina Cottage hotel. Book a couple days in advance to ensure you get a beach-side table.
I recommend this restaurant for a romantic evening event.
Location: in Marina Phuket resort
Address: 47 Karon Beach Rd.

A large whirlpool forms inside a 70-foot diameter acrylic bowl and falls 2 stories to a pool below. The artwork, a collaboration with architect Moshe Safdie, functions as both a skylight and a rain collector. The rain water is recycled back to the whirlpool and also fills a canal that runs through the atrium. The pumps that direct water into the bowl are turned on and off a few times an hour so the whirlpool is always changing in shape and intensity. At peak flow rates there are 8000 gallons per minute falling through the atrium and 200 tons of water swirling around in the bowl. Extensive prototyping and engineering went into integrating the artwork into the structural and mechanical systems of the building. Completed in 2011.

Silvesterchlausen - Celebrating New Year in the Canton of AppenzellAusserrhoden Switzerland
"Silvesterchlausen" is a unique winter festival with pagan roots, celebrated in a few towns in the Canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden. "Silvesterchlausen" takes place on New Years Eve (31 December) as well as on the Old New Year on January 13 (Gregorian Calendar).
All masques are traditionally men. The "beautiful Clausen" wear richly decorated women's dresses, the "ugly" ones shaggy twig coats and demon masques, and the "ugly-beautiful" or forest-nature spirits wear a mix of both. All of them carry bells: The "Schelli" wear large cow bells (the bells weigh up to 30 kg / 66 lbs: the "Schelli" carry them around all day, quit a demanding task), whereas the "Rolli" or "Rollwieber" (Rolli women) wear smaller "bullet-bells" on two leather straps in the front and back of their torso.
Usually, the "Silversterchläuse" appear in groups of six; two "Rolli" and four "Schelli". Procession participants are men only. Girls are allowed to participate in the boy's group.
Ein Silvesterklaus (Schweizerdeutsch: Silvesterchlaus) ist eine maskierte Person, welche den Brauch des Silvesterklausens pflegt. Im Schweizer Kanton Appenzell Ausserrhoden wird auf diese Art die Jahreswende gefeiert.
I enjoyed this during my precious trip to Switzerland in December 2016.

How to open the oyster shell - SKILLFUL OYSTER OPENING
Clean the outside of the oyster under running water to remove in loose grit or barnacles. Rub the shell with your fingers or use a stiff brush if you have one for this purpose.
Hold the oyster in a towel or oven mitt with the hinge (pointed side) sticking out. This will protect your hand if the oyster knife slips.
With the flat side of the oyster up, insert the tip of an oyster knife near the hinge.
You only need to insert the knife about 1/2 an inch. Do not use a regular knife to open oysters. There is too great a risk of slipping and severely injuring yourself. An oyster knife is a special blunted knife made for this purpose. They're cheap, too. If you're going to buy oysters in the shell, spend a couple extra bucks for the proper knife.

Easy to cook tasty Red Grouper steamed in the wok
Excellently tasty Red Grouper steamed in the wok
Groupers are aromatic, delicious, strange, and not greasy as shrimps or crabs until the last piece to be eaten. Groupers including red groupers, black groupers and tiger groupers are always the most popular type of fish among the sea fishes because of their white, sweet, tough flesh. Normal groupers are not as good as red groupers because in addition to the taste as mentioned above, red groupers also have good smell and red skin color when cooked that there is not any kind of fish better.
In order to keep the sea taste, you should use just a little of spice (I use a bit of salt only) for red grouper. The fish should be streamed with ginger, small spring onion, soy sauce, and cooked over a medium fire so that it is well done. That keeps the original taste of fish. The fish skin is red, greasy and crispy, and the flesh is tough, white and sweet-smelling.
Cooking:
Step 1: Cleaning the fish, then cutting vertical or horizontal lines on the skin.
Step 2: Aromatizing fish with soy sauce, pepper, ginger or dark soy sauce, mushrooms, red cut chilli, then steaming it in 10 -- 15 minutes.
Step 3: Spreading small spring onion cut into threads on the fish together with a sliced tomato chopped parsley. The fish should be hot and eaten with dark soy sauce. Red grouper with unique taste has long since deserved to be the best seafood.
