Catherine Anne Meissner, a KU graduate student from Rochester, Minn., is studying literary change in Paris from 1875 to 1930 by focusing on the cafes that attracted the intellectual set.

 Cafe Society
"Cafe Society," which remembers a real-life sex scandal that rocked New York City 45 years ago, is the rare 50s period piece that gets it right, from the little red-shaded lamps on the cramped tables of El Casbah to the slithery come-hither sexual signals of a more repressed era.
But "Cafe Society," filmed in a style that evokes 50s tabloid news photos, captures the era's zest for naughtiness.
Rating: "Cafe Society" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian).

Cafe Society transpires in a big city (New York instead of Los Angeles) during the same era, focuses on the lurid sex-for-sale trade, and, most strikingly, delves into the incestuous relationship between the police and the tabloid reporters.

Cafe Society oozes style with as much conviction as an L.A. Confidential or a Mulholland Falls, but at a significantly lower budget.

 Cafe Society: Vietnam's Traveler Cafes Offer More Than Coffee
Fortunately, independent travelers can turn to "traveler cafes." Evidence of free enterprise--in a country still ruled by hardline communists--the cafes are more than just places to socialize and have a cheap meal (starting at around 5,000 dong).
To hook up with the loosely associated traveler cafe network, jump in a cyclo (about $1) in one of Vietnam’s two entry points: Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) in the south and Hanoi in the north, with the name and address of a cafe in hand.
The colorful rococo Cao Dai Temple is the center of a uniquely Vietnamese religion combining Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Laoism, and Catholicism; the Cu Chi tunnels are a network of underground tunnels begun in 1948 by the Viet Minh in their struggles against the French and expanded by the Viet Cong.
