Women driving has been banned in Saudi Arabia. Girls there are trying to express their dissatisfaction through different means. Noha Berjes and Naglaa al-Oteibi from Dammam's King Faisal University got a superb idea to target this need. They started making shirts embroidered with license plate bearing the name , country and a number. Soon it started catching up. Noha Berjes and Naglaa al-Oteibi designed the shirts at home. They are just two years old in this fashion industry and have made their mark for being original and innovative. They say, Girls like their personal name and design on their shirts. Now, Naglaa and Noha own a workshop where they design them. They paint and print on the shirts after buying them from market. A printed short sells for $32-$40, whereas a printed short sells for $106. They market their products on Facebook!
Taiwanese are gripped into a new Fad. This time it is running. From 12 years old school going children to 70 years old retired person, everyone wants to circle around their own home island. They are not going on bicycle or any machine, they want to complete it on their own feet. Last year in Taipei, Timothy Liu, a 12 year old, with his 47 year old father, decided to circle around the entire island. It has a circumference of around 1200 kilometers. Both of them did it on foot, with some occasional rides from strangers. Summer heat, earthquakes, typhoon and mosquitoes could not make any deterrence to their determination. They completed it in 51 days! This exemplary evidence of courage and determination caught the eyes of other fellow Taiwanese, who too started this operation. This fever is called HuanDao, meaning circling around the island.
