How House Swapping Works?
House Swap is often not the first thing that comes to mind when someone thinks about going on vacation. But, If you're exploring vacation packages to popular tourist destinations such as New York and Paris that could cost you thousands of dollars for a hotel room or at least hundreds to book on Airbnb, it's time to check out cheaper alternatives. What if we say, your stay can be free? Yes, it's true with a house swap. It is a practice in which two parties agree to swap their accommodation without any cash exchange. Now, here how House Swapping works, and how to get started: - Step 1: Understand home swapping Today, there are so many platforms where you can sign up, create your house listing, find and swap homes across the globe. You can peruse listings of hundreds of home swappers worldwide. You can swap in one of the two ways: a direct, two-way exchange where you can swap your house for someone else’s. The other way being the one-way swap, where you live in someone's home, while your house is empty. Since no money exchanges, you can plan long vacations, even for months, knowing that your accommodation costs won't sky-rocket with each passing day. Step 2: List your home for the swap. Don't think you’re not eligible for a home swap if your house is not in a tourist hotspot or a picture-postcard chateau. People these days are exploring all kinds of destinations to escape the crowd and finding peacetime with family. Also, it is a no-brainer to highlight all the key points that make your house special, whether it’s the private swimming in the backyard, nearby hiking trails, lovely neighborhood, or proximity to public transportation. Be sure to upload pictures of your house, highlighting how spacious and comfortable it is compared to hotels. Step 3: Have a Clear Chat Once you come across someone ready for a vacation home swap with you, it is imperative to have a chat, either over the home swapping messenger or via Skype/ FaceTime. You can also ask them to provide a video tour of their house and ask all the questions that you might have. This will help you to ease all the anxieties with regards to exchanging each other's abodes. Step 4: Tell the neighbors Once the deal is locked, let the family next door know about your travel plans, so that they're not surprised seeing another family set foot in your house. This will help you keep a tab on your swapper and leave your fellow swapper with a local to count on for any need. Step 5: Be Smart with your Valuables Have a rare selection of porcelain dolls? First-edition of novels? Or expensive crockery? Don't hesitate to keep them in secure spots. Lastly, give them a warm welcome, just like you do if your sister or a close friend comes to visit your house. So, lay in supplies for your home swapper.

Mr. Putin: Operative in the Kremlin
I've put up a few cards about Russia recently, and I spent two weeks traveling throughout the country this winter, so I figured a book recommendation was appropriate. I've read a fair bit about Russia today, but Mr. Putin by Fiona Hill and Clifford Gaddy is the best look at the far reaching power held by President Putin that I have come across. I think the book gives a great overview of the President's governing style and the country he has firm control over. It can be a bit dry at times, so if you're looking for something more entertaining, "The Man Without A Face" might be a better choice.
Food Crush: Disney's Adorable Character-Inspired Dim Sum!
Like many, visiting a Disney park was probably one of the most memorable parts of my childhood. Summer vacation on the East Coast meant road trips to Disney World and visits to Epcot Center. And when I finally moved to California? Let's just say that I definitely spent more than a few birthdays eating a Mickey-shaped ice cream bar on line for Space Mountain. I've always wanted to visit one of the Disney parks abroad like Tokyo Disney or Disneyland Paris, and now that Shanghai Disney just opened up this week, I'm feeling an itch to get out there and visit the latest Happiest Place on Earth. And what's first on my Shanghai Disney bucket list? DISNEY-THEMED DIM SUM!!!!!!!!!!! These dumplings were first perfected at Hong Kong Disneyland's Crystal Lotus, and grew to be so popular that Disney Parks was kind enough to offer them in Shanghai too! Here are some of the menu's yummiest highlights: Little Green Men Pork and Vegetable Bun Three Little Pigs Barbecue Pork Bun Chicken Little Steamed Lotus Seed Puree Bun Mike Wazowski Shrimp Bun Baymax Chaisui Pork Bun Olaf Red Bean Bun The park's multi-course dim sum set has proven to be such a hot seller that visitors must reserve their meal at least two days in advance - only a small drawback when compared to finally being able to enjoy the dumplings that were handmade JUST FOR YOU! So who else has Disney dim sum on their travel bucket list?

How To Make Sweet Red Bean Soup (紅豆湯) from China's Guangdong Province (Vegan)
This weekend, I attended my very first traditional Chinese wedding, as two friends who I study Korean with ended up falling in all sorts of love and decided to spend the rest of their lives together. The wedding was completely amazing. I loved being able to meet their families, learn all about their specific wedding customs and, of course, eat a ridiculous amount of Cantonese food. (In Chinese tradition, weddings can serve anywhere from 10 - 12 courses. Ours stopped right at 11!) One of the very last dishes we ate was Hóng Dòu Tāng, a sweet red bean soup served in a thin broth with simmered lotus seeds. I have seen this dish around, especially at the Taiwanese tea house I'm often frequenting, and couldn't wait to try it myself. The soup is a wonderful combination of sweet and savory, and the lotus seed has a nice nutty flavor and texture similar to peanuts. You should be able to find all of these ingredients at most Asian markets. This recipe can be made without lotus seeds, of course, but lotus seeds are full of good nutrition and are constantly used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat anything from insomnia to gastrointestinal problems - which is why it's the perfect bowl to end the night with! ------------------------------------------------------ Sweet Red Bean Soup (Hóng Dòu Tāng) 1 cup red beans (You can probably find these canned, but fresh is best if possible.) 15 dried lotus seeds 1 piece dried tangerine peel 4 - 5 tablespoons brown sugar Water 1 - 2 tablespoons fine glutinous rice flour in equal parts of water for thickening to your desired consistency Some coconut milk for drizzling over soup 1. Wash red beans in several rinses of water until water runs clear of dirt and grit. Put into a pot, fill with water to a height equivalent to the length of your index finger - roughly 2 inches - above the beans. Bring to a boil, and let par-boil for 15 minutes. Turn off heat, cover with lid, and let it sit for half an hour to let the hot water soften the tough bean husks. 2. Meanwhile, soak dried tangerine peel in water for 15 minutes or until soft. Using the blunt end of a small knife, scrape off the pith on the inside of the peel. Wash clean, and then wash the lotus seeds as well. 3. Bring the pot of red beans back to a boil, add the washed tangerine peel, lotus seeds, and half of the brown sugar. Reduce to medium heat, let simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until the beans are soft. Skim foam off the surface as it forms. Add water if the liquid reduces too much. When beans are soft and cracked open, do a taste test and add sugar to your desired sweetness. 4. To thicken the soup slightly, stir the glutinous rice flour solution into the soup, little by little, letting the heat cook through before adding more. Stop when desired consistency is reached. Dish out into serving bowls, drizzled with some coconut milk, if desired.
Confession: I'm Addicted To Trying Strange Asian Foods.
Hi, my name is Dani, and I'm a foodie - but only when it comes to all things weird. As those of you who participate in my weekly So Good Or No Good food game, I'm always interested in talking about gross food combinations and dishes that, well, require a certain kind of palette. I thought it might be fun to create a list of strange international foods I've tried that maybe other people wouldn't be into - some left me wanting seconds, and well, others definitely had me running to the bathroom. Have you tried any of these? Century Eggs (China) Century eggs - also known as pidan - get their name because they are soaked and preserved for long periods of times (traditionally, several months) before they're eaten. What normally looks like a regular white and yellow boiled egg turns into translucent black with a consistency kind of like Jell-O. I thought these were surprisingly delicious. Once you get over the fact that the eggs are black and have a different smell than a normal hard-boiled egg, you'll find that it's still really tasty! Pork Dinuguan (Philippines) Dinuguan looks like a pretty unassuming stew with a color is reminiscent of a Mexican mole sauce, but the taste couldn't be any more different. It's made with anything from standard pork to more questionable parts like the lungs, kidneys, intestines, ears, heart, or snout, and it's all simmered in pig blood. As far as this one's concerned, I was able to make it through a few bites, but the texture and the heavy iron-flavor of the jellied pig blood sauce really grossed me out. (However, my Filipino friends insist this can be SUPER delicious, so I'm waiting for their moms to make me some!) Yukhoe (South Korea) There's really not much to explain when it comes to yukhoe. It's ground raw beef served with raw egg and a variety of seasonings. Sometimes it's served as you see in the picture above, and other times, it's over rice with an assortment of vegetables as 'yukhoe bibimbap'. Yukhoe is actually really delicious! First, I was scared because there's so much 'NOPE!' here, but yukhoe is served cold, so the beef flavor is mild. Also, the seasoning does a good job of keeping you from feeling like you're shoveling raw hamburger meat in your mouth. (Make sure you're ordering yukhoe at a reputable place so you don't get sick!) Natto (Japan) Natto is a fermented soybean dish that is traditionally served at breakfast. With a stringy consistency and a strong odor, it's known to be an acquired taste - even within Japan! Natto is often served plain, but you can also see it rolled up onigiri-style. I couldn't get past the first bite or two plain, but I will say that eating it with soy sauce and mustard (which is often provided when you order natto), definitely helps you get it down. Yeah, this was a once-and-never-again dish for me. Zhū ěr duo (China) Zhū ěr duo is a popular Chinese appetizer of sliced braised pig ear, commonly served both hot or cold. The outer skin is chewy and soft, while the strip of cartilage has a crunch that might be unfamiliar to people trying it for the first time. Personally, I felt like the texture took me a bite or two to get used to, but once I had, I actually found pig ear to be pretty good! I don't know if I could eat a whole lot of this, but it's really nice as an appetizer. Dalkbal (South Korea) Dalkbal is a dish popularly served as something of a pub snack in South Korea. It's chicken feet prepared in a spicy sauce of red pepper paste and sesame oil. Overall, it's light and meaty, but definitely has plenty of crunchy cartilage inside. Dalkbal is super spicy! I don't think I realized I was such a heat wimp until I tried it for the first time. The cartilage gets in the way of it being anything close to filling, but it's a great snack, especially for you beer and hot wings types. So now I want to know about the unusual foods YOU'VE tried. Share your own stories! Is there a food in your family's culture that a lot of people outside of it wouldn't be into? Are there strange foods you were scared to try, but actually liked eating a lot? Let us know in the comments below!
Risk in Russia
The mortality rate on Russian roads is 3.6 times higher than on US roads. This article discusses Russian parents who have their children pose with unchained Siberian Tigers and other dangerous animals. Apparently there was an old Soviet joke about the red flag at the airport being your last warning (before getting on an Aeroflot flight) When I was in Russia, I felt very unsafe anytime I was in a car, but Aeroflot was a pretty solid airline. The food wasn't bad, but the plane didn't smell too good.

China Bans Funeral Strippers
The Chinese government is in the news this week as the country's ministry of culture announces that they will "crack down on 'stripping' and other acts of illegal business performance market". The statement was released after controversial videos were circulated featuring paid strippers disrobing in front of parents and children at a Handan funeral - resulting in arrests and a $11,300 fine. (I know. This is a lot to process.) Apparently, funeral strippers have turned into quite a trend in both China and Taiwan, as the region's bereaved have been shelling out some serious cash to pay for strip shows that can go as long as two-and-a-half hours. According to Everett Zhang, assistant professor of East Asian Studies at Princeton University, funerals in the area are treated like one lavish party, celebrating with as many people as possible to ensure that their loved one is sent off properly to the afterlife. "In China, when the person who dies is very old and has lived a long life, this kind of occasion becomes purely a celebration." But why strippers?! According to China's official Xinhua news agency, strippers are hired "to attract more mourners," adding that these racy performances "add to the fun". Blame it on cultural difference, but I can see why something like this would deserve to be shut down. However, while Zhang sees where this situation could be problematic, he's particularly surprised at the bold measures the government is taking to put an end to it. "Local people would not be happy about the arrests. That would be really intrusive and offensive." So what do you think? Should the Chinese government be allowed to arrest and fine the bereaved hiring funeral strippers, or should it be left to the family's discretion?

HANGENG to Star in First 'Gay-Themed' Film Approved for Theatres in China!!!
China's tight media policies incredibly approved screenings of the film Seek McCartney, a film revolving around the romantic relationship between two male characters, making this the first gay-themed movie to ever make it to mainland Chinese theaters. The film stars Chinese actor AKA MY FAVORITE MEMBER OF SUPER JUNIOR, Han Geng and French actor Jérémie Elkaïm. Seek McCartney director Wang Chao took to Weibo to announce that the film had passed China's censors, calling the news "a small step for the regulator and a big step for filmmakers". The movie is expected to hit cinemas this coming winter. The Dead End, a Chinese film featuring a 'passionate kiss' between two male characters, was also given the OK for cinemas earlier this year. Woo China!!! But we know any award or acclaim Han Geng gets for this film really is all going to Heechul, right?
China's Hottest Boy Group is Actually a Girl Group?
Meet FFC Acrush. At first glance you might think they are a talented young boy group, and you're almost correct. The only difference is, all the members were born female. While most of the members prefer to be called "unisex" or to not have a gender label at all, they all tend to lean towards a more traditionally masculine style. Their talent boosted them to stardom in China, and its helping redefine gender roles in the country, and perhaps all around the world! Here are the members: idk about you but im into it! breaking down gender barriers and stereotypes is always a positive thing in my book. What are your thoughts?

Chocolate Statue Of Putin, Anyone?
Every year, St. Petersburg locals gather together for the city's Chocolate Fair. During the festival, chocolate is celebrated and consumed in mass amounts, but this year's event took an interesting turn with the attendance of a very special guest - a 170-pound life-statue statue of Russian President Vladimir Putin with his dog, Konni. One festival patron, St. Petersburg resident Yelena, found the statue strangely enticing: "Unfortunately, in real life, there are many people who want to lick him and even more [when he is] in chocolate form. You understand what I am talking about. We have a lot of people who like to lick the authorities." I'm not quite sure what she means by that, but it's certainly kinky enough. The artist behind Chocolate Putin claims that the statue has no political implications. He was inspired by a chocolate figure made of the Pope last year, and says this statue is all in good fun. In any case, Chocolate Putin is being evaluated by the Guinness World Record organization as the largest chocolate statue of a secular leader - which kind of has me wondering where a life-size Chocolate Buddha is hiding out. Oh man, Chocolate Buddhas DO exist. Anyway, what do you think of Chocolate Putin? Is it a good look for him, and who else do you think should be immortalized in chocolate?
