A Thai fireman turned superhero when he dressed up as comic-book character Spider-Man to coax a frightened eight-year-old from a balcony, police said last week.
Teachers at a special needs school in Bangkok called the fire service when an autistic pupil, scared of going to lessons, sat out on the third-floor ledge and refused to come inside, a police sergeant told AFP.
Despite teachers’ efforts to persuade the boy to go inside, he refused to move until his mother mentioned her son’s love of superheroes, prompting fireman Sonchai Yoosabai to take a new approach to the problem.

“My fireman rushed back to the fire station and took out his Spider-Man costume ... The boy immediately ran into his arms with a smile,” sergeant Virat Boonsadao said.
He said the fireman keeps the costume at work to liven up school fire drills.

泰國警方上週表示,一名消防隊員打扮成漫畫人物「蜘蛛人」,哄騙一名害怕的八歲男童離開陽台。
一名警察小隊長對法新社表示,曼谷某特教學校的一名自閉症學童因害怕上課,坐在三樓窗台邊不願下來,老師們只好打電話請消防隊幫忙。
儘管老師們力勸他下來,他卻不肯配合,後來他母親提到兒子很喜歡超級英雄,消防隊員宋嘉.佑沙拜才想到用這種新奇的方法來解決問題。
小隊長威拉特.邦薩道說:「我的隊員立刻跑回消防局拿他的蜘蛛人戲服…這名男孩立刻笑著撲向他的懷中。」
他說,這位消防隊員放這套服裝在局裡,是要作為炒熱學校消防演習氣氛之用。

As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon.

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once

To fully experience noodles like a local on your next visit to Japan, consider these simple guidelines. First, be careful where you put your chopsticks. Don’t leave them sticking up in the broth or set them at the side of the bowl. When you have finished eating or if you’re taking a break, place them on the chopstick rest next to the bowl. Also, it is impolite to wave chopsticks around or bring them above mouth-level. Second, don’t take too
