		<description><![CDATA[Ever thought about spending a night in a coffin? That&#8217;s what most people imagine a &#8216;capsule&#8217; hotel to be like. Cramped living quarters. Loud-snoring men. Communal baths. None of my friends who&#8217;d stayed ever had a particularly good review. &#8220;It&#8217;s&#8230; an experience,&#8221; they&#8217;d say. Yet, for my most recent trip to Tokyo I found myself [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 
On one of those unexpected rainy Sunday afternoons, you could catch any fun-loving Japanese person taking refuge at the local video game arcade. Affectionately nicknamed gei-sen (short for “game center”), it carries an arsenal of digital goodies ranging from first-person shooters—gunning down an army of evil zombies and such—to purikura “print club” booths where [...]]]></description>

It was more like checking for stains, wet spots and, heaven-forbid, curly hairs. I was there with my little brother, and before you jump to conclusions, know that we were [...]]]></description>

Switzerland’s glaciers are melting away, fast. 
That’s what I noticed last year while climbing an area of the Alps 11,000 feet above sea level. The panoramic view of mountain range poking through the clouds was stunning, but there was an obvious flaw to the picture. “It’s melting,” said my tour guide Rene, a [...]]]></description>

Contrary to popular notion, Rex Lee is not Lloyd, the bubbly office assistant on HBO’s hit series Entourage, executive produced by Mark Wahlberg and revolving around the day-to-day life of a hot young actor, his entourage of childhood buddies, and his high-powered agent.
