THERE'S a new food movement
in Canada, with the opening of
the country’s first ever ‘Poop Cafe
Dessert Bar’.
The restroom-themed eatery
in Toronto offers an “all-brown
menu,” modelled on a concept
the owner Lien Nguyen first
spotted on a visit to Taiwan.
“I’m trying to make poop cute...
it’s funny to put food and poop
together,” she insisted.
Although there’s not a lot of
colour variation, flavours are
based on traditional Thai, Korean
and Korean desserts such as
patbingsoo (red beans with ice).
Diners will sit on fake toilets and
eat their food out of cute little
cisterns and urinals.
POKEMON Go, the smartphone
phenomenon which appears to be
taking over the world, apparently
appeals to people of all ages.
A nursing home and
rehabilitation centre in Florida,
USA has introduced the game
to elderly patients who are
recovering from injuries, as a way
of keeping them physically and
mentally active.
The game uses ‘augmented
reality’ to combine images
of the user’s surroundings
with superimposed animated
characters, who are hunted down
and captured in real time.
Pokemon Go can involve plenty
of exercise, with some objects
such as special Pokemon eggs
requiring physical activity such as
a 5km walk to make them hatch
- giving users lots of incentive to
keep on moving.
