» The posters on the skytrain columns show slim legs with a woman's underwear sliding down down a hitched-up skirt. The trailer in the cinema shows sultry, pre-coitus tantalisation and, among others, a young man ogling the sweaty cleavage of his girlfriend and saying, quite nicely: ''Can I touch your breasts?'' Though no strategic parts are visible, the teaser of the new Thai movie Namtal Daeng, or Brown Sugar, makes an open promise that the story will be about sex, and perhaps love.

» Valery Gergiev certainly has a way with Stravinsky. His recordings of the three popular early ballets were knockouts, culminating in an account of Le Sacre du Printemps that brought back the ferocity and danger that so many recorded performances released over the past decades have lost, now that just getting the notes and rhythms right are no longer a challenge to most orchestras.

» Until a few years ago, "yakiniku" would have been an uncommon word to local diners.

» Les Visiteurs du Soir was the title of a famous film directed by Marcel Carne and shot in France in the middle of World War II. Are the visitors coming back? There is a knock on the door. It is already dark. Afraid? No, because you are expecting a wine producer, who is coming free of charge to your home to introduce some of his/her recent vintages. Unusual, maybe, but also it could become a habit in France.
