Instead of striking a trademark dramatic pose, the new Lenin statue in Nowa Huta is bright green and depicts the revolutionary relieving himself.
A statue of Vladimir Lenin has returned to a Polish town which was constructed by the communists in the hope of it becoming a proletarian bastion.
Instead of striking a dramatic pose designed to inspire revolution, however, the new Lenin statue in Nowa Huta comes bright green in color, and depicts the revolutionary leader relieving himself, with a water feature providing the necessary effects.

Poland’s post-war communist government built the industrial town of Nowa Huta, and it once boasted a huge statue of the Russian leader striding down a main boulevard.
Nowa Huta’s workers resisted attempts to make them die-hard socialists, with some even trying to blow up the original Lenin statue in 1979.
The attackers failed to use enough explosives and only succeeded in damaging the Russian’s feet.

取代擺出架勢十足的姿勢,新胡塔的新列寧雕像是螢光綠色且描繪呈現這位革命家正在解放自己。
列寧雕像又出現在一個曾經由共產黨建立、期盼打造成無產階級堡壘的波蘭城鎮。
取代擺出揭示革命、架勢十足的姿勢,新胡塔的新列寧雕像呈現螢光綠色,並摹寫這位革命領袖正在解放自己,由水柱提供了必要的效果。
波蘭戰後共黨政府建立了工業城新胡塔,沿著主要的林蔭大道曾出現一尊這位俄國領袖的巨大雕像。
新胡塔的工人堅持拒絕成為社會主義的死硬派,曾有人在一九七九年試圖炸掉原有的列寧雕像。
攻擊者沒有足夠火藥以致失敗,僅成功地傷到列寧雕像的腳。

It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice.

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
