For fashion magazines, the September issue is the thickest and most important of the year, shaping global fashion trends and elements for the next year. The September issue of Vogue magazine, in particular, is regarded as a “fashion bible.” The production of its September 2007 issue was even made into the documentary “The September Issue.”
In an unprecedented move, for this year’s September issue, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour gave cover star Beyonce total control of the cover. The US pop diva hired 23-year-old black photographer Tyler Mitchell to photograph the cover, making him the first black photographer to shoot a Vogue cover in the magazine’s126-year history.
Chinese actress Zhou Xun is the cover star for the September issue of the Chinese edition, being featured on a Vogue cover for the seventh time. Meanwhile, the Taiwanese edition is celebrating the year’s biggest fashion month with six different covers, featuring artists Christine Fan, Amber An, Puff Kuo, Nikki Hsieh, Summer Meng, Joanne Tseng and Prince Chiu, respectively.

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.

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.
