  Have you ever wondered where horse milk vodka comes from? Or how to fight off a mob of Malaysian monkeys? Is it bad luck to wash cow poop off of your shoe? Travel vicariously with Sam across the Orient to find the funny but true answers.

  Teaching in Korea and Vietnam since 2015, Sam uses his time out of the classroom to explore the rest of Asia. His short five-book series, Itchy Feet Travel Tales in Asia, covers his adventures (and misadventures) in Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Russia, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. 
  These stories of the sublime and the surreal will have you giggling and gawking as you follow Sam through the weird and wonderful world of the East.

  THE MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a shared universe of interconnected films, television series, and other media properties, based on Marvel Comics characters. Kevin Feige is a key figure in its development, having conceived the shared media universe and serving as the studio chief. Initially planned as a series of individual films that merged into crossovers, the MCU has expanded to include television event series, short films, and digital content, all contributing to an overarching narrative. The MCU's narrative is divided into phases, with the first three phases collectively known as "The Infinity Saga" and phases four through six known as "The Multiverse Saga". Marvel Studios has also created an animation branch to produce more animated content. The MCU has also expanded into other media, such as theme park attractions, exhibits, documentaries and books. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  The Marvel Cinematic Universe was initially referred to as the "Marvel Cinema Universe" by Kevin Feige before he changed the name. The shared narrative continuity expanded beyond just films to include other media. 
    
  Marvel Studios secured a $525 million revolving credit facility with Merrill Lynch to raise capital for their film projects. This funding enabled the studio to plan individual films for main characters that would eventually merge into crossover movies. 
    
  Avi Arad, who resigned from Marvel in 2006, doubted the shared universe strategy would work, and felt it was his reputation that secured the initial financing. He did not believe that individual films would be successful.

  The Art of Egyptian Papyrus -...

  Papyrus, one of the most important inventions of ancient Egypt, was central to the development of writing and documentation in the ancient world. The history of papyrus dates back to the early dynastic periods of Egypt, around 3000 BCE, when the first examples of papyrus usage were recorded. This plant, which grew abundantly along the Nile River, was harvested for its stalks, which were then processed into sheets that served as a writing surface. The creation of papyrus revolutionized communication in the ancient world, providing a portable, durable, and practical alternative to other materials like stone or clay tablets. 
  The origins of papyrus as a writing material can be traced to the need for a flexible and lightweight medium that could be used for documentation, record-keeping, and artistic purposes. Ancient Egyptians discovered that the inner pith of the papyrus plant could be cut into strips and laid in a crisscross pattern, pressed together, and dried to form sheets. These sheets were then smoothed and polished, making them suitable for inscribing with hieroglyphs, hieratic script, or later, the demotic script. Over time, the process of papyrus production became more refined, and its use spread to neighboring regions, influencing other ancient civilizations. 
  Early uses of papyrus were predominantly for religious and administrative purposes. Royal decrees, religious texts, and tomb inscriptions were often written on papyrus scrolls. As Egyptian society advanced, the role of papyrus expanded to include personal letters, legal documents, and works of literature, cementing its place as the primary medium for writing in the ancient world. The papyrus scroll became the preferred format for long documents, with scrolls of varying lengths used to record everything from medical texts to astronomical observations.
