Story Highlights: Weather, demand from Asia, fuel prices all pushing food prices, analysts say U.N. expects higher food prices for next 10 years. Analysts believe prices will stabilize as farmers plant more crops.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- If you're seeing your grocery bill go up, you're not alone.


From subsistence farmers eating rice in Ecuador(厄瓜多) to gourmets feasting(美食展) on escargot(法國的食用蝸牛) in France, consumers worldwide face rising food prices in what analysts call a perfect storm of conditions. Freak weather is a factor. But so are dramatic changes in the global economy, including higher oil prices, lower food reserves and growing consumer demand in China and India.

The world's poorest nations still harbor the greatest hunger risk. Clashes over bread in Egypt killed at least two people last week, and similar food riots broke out in Burkina Faso and Cameroon this month.

From BBC News: Taiwan flashpoint
Introduction

Taiwan has one of Asia's few functioning democracies and one of its strongest economies. But for the island's 23 million people, the future is overshadowed by an unresolved dispute with China.

China sees the island as a breakaway province which should be reunified, by force if necessary. Hundreds of Chinese missiles now aim across the Taiwan Strait to bring home the point.

Both sides are used to dealing with this fraught relationship, and closer economic ties may eventually make conflict less likely. But until that happens, any flare-up over Taiwan would have much wider implications. Most importantly, it could quickly suck the US into conflict with China, because of US security assurances to Taiwan.

When someone asks you what sign you are, do you say Scorpio or Dragon? Chinese people have their own zodiac chart. Unlike the Western zodiac, it's based on a 12-year cycle according to the lunar calendar. Each year is represented by a different animal. These animal signs in order are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, rooster, dog, and pig. Many legends explain how the Chinese zodiac came about. The following is a very popular one.

One day, all of these 12 animals were quarrelling about who should be the first animal in the Chinese zodiac. They argued all day long and could not come to an agreement. Finally, the gods suggested that all 12 animals participate in a race to see who would come in first. The race started at one side of a river and all the animals had to swim to the other side. 

當有人問您屬什麼,您會說天蠍座還是屬龍?中國人有自己專屬的生肖表。和西洋星座不同的是,中國生肖是以農曆來計算,十二年為一輪。每年都以不同的動物為代表。動物的生肖順序為鼠、牛、虎、兔、龍、蛇、馬、羊、猴、雞、狗、豬。十二生肖的由來眾說紛紜。以下是一個廣為流傳的傳說。

Mickey Mouse is turning 78 this month, but that doesn't matter much because a new mouse is in the house. 
米老鼠這個月就要滿七十八歲,不過這件事卻不怎麼重要,因為一隻新老鼠就要登場了。
The mouse's name is Roddy. Roddy isn't just an ordinary pet mouse. He lives the upper-class life and looks down on those with less money.
這隻老鼠名叫魯迪。魯迪可不是一般的寵物鼠。他過著上流社會的生活,一點也瞧不起那些錢比他少的傢伙。
Roddy wouldn't be caught dead hanging around with the poor. However, everything changes when Roddy is flushed away.
