Paris's top 10 hidden shopping passages At the end of the 18th century, town planners in Paris created a labyrinth of hidden passages across Paris. Over the years many fell into disrepair or were demolished, but if you know where to look you can still push back a doorway and walk into a fabulous belle époque arcade, a glittering art nouveau galerie or an ancient courtyard. Here are 10 worth tracking down. Passage du Grand Cerf The Grand Cerf was restored to its former glory a few years ago and could be the most beautiful Parisian passage. But it is off the usual tourist track, and rarely crowded, despite being home to a host of tempting shops.
Kondansha Library of Japanese Art (10) TOYO SESSHU (1420-1506): Is generally regarded as Japan's greatest painter. His Zen-inspired paintings are credited with establishing a truly Japanese style of ink painting which had a great influence on all later Japanese painting. The Muromachi, or Ashikaga, period during which Sesshu lived was profoundly influenced by Zen Buddhism, which had been introduced from China during the Kamakura period. Under its impact the Chinese-style ink paintings of the great masters of the Southern Sung period, especially the landscape painters Ma Yuan and Hsia Kuei and the Ch'an painters Mu Ch'i and Yu-chien, served as models for the Japanese painters. Not only did these artists derive their style from China, but the landscape they represented was also that of South China in spite of the fact that many of them had never been there.

Eight sounds that tell you you're in Paris There are a few sounds that everyone associates with Paris: impatient drivers beeping their horns at traffic lights, sirens on speeding police cars and the sound of scooters cruising past cafés. Then there's the bell ringing cyclists, the din from the packed bars and terraces and the sounds of tour guides on buses or boats. But it's rare for people to take the time to appreciate the hidden aural gems just waiting to be discovered, the city's resident sound expert and author of the Soundlandscapes' blog, Des Coulam, told The Local. "We live in a very visual world," Coulam said. "But Paris is a very sound rich city if you take time to explore it in this way." So while the tourists are out instagramming themselves in front of the Eiffel Tower en masse, it's often the sounds of the French capital that are the most memorable.
Old Japanese maps on Google Earth unveil secrets By Jay Alabaster, Associated Press TOKYO — When Google Earth added historical maps of Japan to its online collection last year, the search giant didn't expect a backlash. The finely detailed woodblock prints have been around for centuries, they were already posted on another website, and a historical map of Tokyo put up in 2006 hadn't caused any problems. But Google failed to judge how its offering would be received, as it has often done in Japan. The company is now facing inquiries from the Justice Ministry and angry accusations of prejudice because its maps detailed the locations of former low-caste communities.
