有趣社交網站

(Social Media, Hong Kong) 上一次介紹過跟facebook功能相近的社交網站-Orkut 後，我便經常搜尋，看看有沒其他好用或有趣的社交網站。原來世界各地有著比我想像還要多的社交網站！有些有趣，有些無聊，也有特別主題的。我選了2個跟大家分享~

第一個
Line for Heaven.com (直釋:線天堂): 是個有趣的社區，這網站是「歡迎任何想要上天堂的人」加入。哈~放心!不是教唆別人輕生的網頁，只是有點宗教味道而已。Line for Heaven目標是「提供一個有趣、輕鬆、非敵對的環境，以促進宗教共融」。感覺在這裡比其他社區和平一點。
有趣設定:Line for Heaven用戶每參與活動及互動時會得到一些分數，叫「業力」。每星期「業力」最多的用戶便會得到「天使」稱號。
不論有沒有宗教背景都可以試一試!

第二個
Respectance.com：這個網站我很喜歡，而且很特別。Respectance.com是個專門讓人們紀念已過身親人的社交網站，用戶可以向已故親人表示悼念或哀悼。我覺得這概念很好，有一個平台讓我們懷念故人，表示敬意，分享甚至宣洩情感！不錯！
網站有一句感動了我的標語﹕
Everyone has MEMORIES to share
Keep them alive FOREVER
有趣設定:用戶可以設立「故親紀念館」，上傳照片和書面供品，寫文章。也可以讓其他人留言慰語。要分享失去家人的傷痛感，或是表達思念也可以。

Wheel2Wheel: North Laos and Child's Dream

On March 1, 2011 Morgan Parker and Simon Lock will embark on their Wheel2Wheel enduro adventure. A 20,000 km, 100 day, 10 country journey, Wheel2Wheel aims is to raise money and awareness for charitable organisations across Asia and Australia. In mid-March, after tackling the illegal moon bear issue of Vietnam in support of Animals Asia, the Wheel2Wheel riders will arrive in Laos where they will highlight the educational needs of marginalized children and youth in support of Child's Dream.

Wheel2Wheel is 100% self funded. All Donations through "Live the Dream" options are channeled back to the 10 Charities. The donations allocated toChild's Dream will help build a school in Laos.

The journey through Laos encompasses a visit to the haunting Vieng Xai caves, the mysterious Plain of Jars, the remote Bolevan Plateau and the charming Luang Prabang and Vientiane.

The beautiful Landscape of Laos cannot disguise the troubled history of the country from domination by Thailand, French colonialism, devastation from the Vietnam War and isolation due to communist rule. Laos is one of the least developed countries in the world, as listed by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD). Education is poorly funded and over 30% of the population is illiterate.

Child's Dream's main goal is to empower underprivileged children in the Mekong Sub-Region by providing them with better education infrastructure. In 2010 alone,Child's Dream helped renovate 6 schools in Laos so that each facility is able to accomodate more students in the community.

Local villagers built this school with local materials and some zinc for the roof. Due to poor construction materials and the villagers' lack of expertise, the building often required repairs. The team at Child's dream helped the community build a new school, furnished the classrooms with better quality desks and chairs, and installed four toilets and a water system to improve the students' health.

Architect Frank Gehry’s First Exhibition in China houses at Sanlitun Village, Beijing

"Frank Gehry. Architect", the first exhibition of the Pritzker Prize-winning architect held in China, has been welcome by the public since its grand opening on 18 October 2010.

Renowned for his extraordinary contributions to the field of architecture and design, Frank Gehry received several of the most significant awards in architecture. The "Frank Gehry. Architect" exhibition presents a selection of projects spanning the architect’s career, including his most celebrated buildings, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain and the Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown LA, United States. "Frank Gehry. Architect" also unveils the creative process behind Gehry’s first residential development in Asia, Swire Properties’ 53 Stubbs Road in Hong Kong. Through drawings, models, photographs and video footage, visitors have an opportunity to follow the unique creative journey of this exceptional architect.

"Frank Gehry. Architect" exhibition is organised by Swire Properties Limited, a leading developer of upscale commercial and residential properties in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Swire Properties also has major mixed-use projects currently under development in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. Swire Properties’ existing China developments, The Opposite House hotel and Sanlitun Village, have become new landmarks in Beijing.

The exhibition marks the first opportunity for audiences in China to explore Gehry’s design. Frank Gehry says, “Our first building in China will be completed in 2012 in Hong Kong, and I am very excited at the prospect of sharing the evolution of this special development with the people of Beijing. I hope the exhibition will inspire visitors as well as offer them a greater insight into how we work,” said Gehry, who is the Design Architect for Swire Properties’ 53 Stubbs Road project in Hong Kong.

Martin Cubbon, Chief Executive of Swire Properties expresses,“We are delighted to be the first to bring the work of this celebrated architect to China”. Cubbon also believes that, “Frank Gehry is one of the most important and visionary architects of modern times and we are privileged to be able to collaborate with such a distinguished talent. Swire Properties is particularly pleased to be able to share our passion for inspirational design with the Beijing public through this exhibition, which demonstrates our commitment to bringing exciting and enriching events to Sanlitun Village.”
