Bite into a banh mi—the classic Vietnamese sandwich of grilled pork and pickled vegetables encased in a French baguette—and you taste Saigon: traditional Asia tinged with European colonialism. What better proves the culinary genius of Tuscany than the elevation of a humble ingredient like tripe into a swoon-worthy snack? To sample merguez sausage in Marrakesh's central square is to join a daily ritual that has persisted for centuries.]]></description><category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category><category><![CDATA[Food]]></category><category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/29331/Worlds-Best-Street-Food?sc=1#social</comments><author>Niki Mari</author><pubDate>5/19/2008 8:02:23 PM</pubDate></item><item id="27971"><title><![CDATA[Post-cyclone 'race' to avoid disease disaster]]></title><link>http://globalgrind.com/content/27971/Postcyclone-race-to-avoid-disease-disaster</link><description><![CDATA[<img src='http://globalgrind.com/Services/Handlers/ThumbnailImage.ashx?cid=27971&t=1' /> <a href='http://globalgrind.com/user/staynsee' title='sensation'>sensation</a> Getting supplies to survivors suffering from a brutal cyclone in Myanmar is now a "race against time" to prevent a disease disaster, experts warned Saturday.]]></description><category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category><category><![CDATA[News]]></category><category><![CDATA[Global]]></category><category><![CDATA[Education]]></category><category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/27971/Postcyclone-race-to-avoid-disease-disaster?sc=1#social</comments><author>sensation</author><pubDate>5/10/2008 8:01:37 PM</pubDate></item><item id="26476"><title><![CDATA[myATLevents.com - Sketchworks Comedy Show - Sunday May 4th]]></title><link>http://globalgrind.com/content/26476/myATLeventscom-Sketchworks-Comedy-Show-Sunday-May-4th</link><description><![CDATA[<img src='http://globalgrind.com/Services/Handlers/ThumbnailImage.ashx?cid=26476&t=1' /> <a href='http://globalgrind.com/user/dryerbuzz2' title='DryerBuzz'>DryerBuzz</a> "Sketchworks is a hoot.

Its Old Town was a maze of litter-strewn streets and dilapidated colonial facades, and its New Town was known for raucous partying and muggings

But things have finally started to turn around, thanks to a revitalization campaign initiated in 2001 that has poured hundreds of millions of dollars in public and private investment into neglected neighborhoods. Restoration of historic buildings and construction of hotels and attractions have made Quito more accessible, and a strengthened Policía de Turismo has made the streets safer.]]></description><category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category><category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/26074/Surfacing-Quito-Ecuador-An-Old-Capitals-New-Look?sc=1#social</comments><author>Niki Mari</author><pubDate>5/2/2008 9:51:57 AM</pubDate></item><item id="23469"><title><![CDATA[Incredible City of Dubai Projects]]></title><link>http://globalgrind.com/content/23469/Incredible-City-of-Dubai-Projects</link><description><![CDATA[<img src='http://globalgrind.com/Services/Handlers/ThumbnailImage.ashx?cid=23469&t=1' /> <a href='http://globalgrind.com/user/private' title='djolemcloud'>djolemcloud</a> City of future,city of glory.No doubt,this is going to be the best city on planet.Just look at their incredible projects]]></description><category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category><category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/23469/Incredible-City-of-Dubai-Projects?sc=1#social</comments><author>djolemcloud</author><pubDate>4/20/2008 11:25:14 PM</pubDate></item><item id="20287"><title><![CDATA[Frugal Traveler: Miami Beach - Babylon on a Budget: A Weekend Challenge]]></title><link>http://globalgrind.com/content/20287/Frugal-Traveler-Miami-Beach-Babylon-on-a-Budget-A-Weekend-Challenge</link><description><![CDATA[<img src='http://globalgrind.com/Services/Handlers/ThumbnailImage.ashx?cid=20287&t=1' /> <a href='http://globalgrind.com/user/nikialexander' title='Niki Mari'>Niki Mari</a> Despite the high-gloss image of Miami Beach, the Frugal Traveler finds a friendly free party, open to all.

THERE’S a very fine line between tackiness and glamour, and in Miami Beach — itself a very fine strip of sand — that line sometimes vanishes. Is that maximum blonde’s minimal swimsuit cringe-making or heart-racing? Is the hotel pool scene high-class or crass? Is the cityscape, which veers from boxy condo towers to candy-colored Art Deco, an architecture buff’s dream or nightmare?]]></description><category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category><category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/20287/Frugal-Traveler-Miami-Beach-Babylon-on-a-Budget-A-Weekend-Challenge?sc=1#social</comments><author>Niki Mari</author><pubDate>4/6/2008 12:53:43 PM</pubDate></item><item id="20020"><title><![CDATA[The $300,000 dinner at Bangkok's Lebua Hotel]]></title><link>http://globalgrind.com/content/20020/The-300000-dinner-at-Bangkoks-Lebua-Hotel</link><description><![CDATA[<img src='http://globalgrind.com/Services/Handlers/ThumbnailImage.ashx?cid=20020&t=1' /> <a href='http://globalgrind.com/user/sugarbread' title='sugarbread'>sugarbread</a> The 10-course feast is being touted as a "once-in-a-lifetime inspirational dinner."]]></description><category><![CDATA[Lifestyle]]></category><category><![CDATA[Jewels & Luxury]]></category><category><![CDATA[Travel]]></category><comments>http://globalgrind.com/content/20020/The-300000-dinner-at-Bangkoks-Lebua-Hotel?sc=1#social</comments><author>sugarbread</author><pubDate>4/7/2008 12:19:48 PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
