Review-Delicious Performance-Bi Bap

Everyone knows I love a good free show. I was excited to read in the paper about Bi Bap. "Bi Bap is a Korean dance show that was based on harmony and centered around the Korean dish, Bibimbap." I am a deep lover of Korean culture and food. So I went down to Harbour City to check it out. Anytime there's free entertainment in HK, I'm eager to go see it. I'm notoriously frugal.
However, I wouldn't exactly call what I saw today a full show. It was a few dancers performing in a mall. The dances were performed one at a time and only lasted about 5 minutes each. It was more like a showcase; they performed several dances over the hour with large amounts of space in between. Was it performing? Yes. Was it entertaining? Yes. Was anyone really there to watch the event on purpose? No. 95% of the watchers were shoppers who just happened to be in the area when the performances began.
I didn't see the symbolism or the harmony in what Bi Bap was trying to portray. I certainly didn't see anything relating to delicious Korean food. It was B-boys dancing. I could have seen the same thing on the streets of Santa Monica on a Friday night. Is it fun? Yes. Is it good? Maybe not... Because there didn't really seem to be any rhyme, reason or organization to the show.
It was free and because of that, the audience expectations are set much lower. But this was to the same level of So You Think You Can Dance auditions. Some of it was great, some good and some bad. If you find yourself bored and with nothing to do in TST, I would check it out simply because it's free. Otherwise, it's not really worth traveling through the sea of copy watch guys.
Bi Bap is playing at Harbour City at various times through April 4th. For more information, click here.

Doctors have many challenges to face as they are perennially surrounded by patients, diseases, hospital duties and over-extended or odd shift timings. Universally, doctor is considered to be a noble profession and respectable one at that, but a doctor also has to work under immense pressures, emotional strains and other physical challenges.

A regular physician like most of us at some point face will have to deal with personal situations such as important family affairs, family holidays, sickness or pregnancy that may force them to abandon medical duties. At the same time, a hospital or a healthcare facility is also constantly faced with emergency situations that demand all hands on deck round-the-clock. Therefore, every hospital, clinic or nursing home is compelled to hire locum tenens or substitute doctor in order to keep the staffing under control at all times.
In fact, locum doctors are the most valuable asset for the medical community because they provide quality medical care and act as a helping-hand in emergency situations when the medical facilities need them the most.
Unlike regular or permanent doctors, locum doctor jobs are also ideal career options for medical interns and graduates because they offer a wide array of medical exposure in varied medical specialties, work cultures and healthcare systems. Locum jobs are challenging and flexible, thus an increasing number of medical professionals have benefitted from these jobs, so whether one is looking for a family physicians position or in a hospital or in a clinic, locum jobs for doctors are available at all levels and in different healthcare systems.
In addition, being a locum doctor gives a medical professional the control over their working hours, location of work and choice of area of specialisation. Technically, locum positions are not restricted to general physicians but they are also extended to other fields of medical specialisations such as cardiology, neurology and many more.
Travelling can be an integral part of locum jobs, and these distinctive features are a boon for many dedicated medical professionals who are eager to expand their medical careers with loads of multi-cultural medical experiences. The fact that locum agencies in the UK recruit tens of thousands of locums from across the globe in various NHS hospitals, private clinics, nursing homes and other public hospitals speaks volume of the popularity of locum jobs.
Locating or getting a locum tenens job is a simple task as long as you are registered with one of the many reputable locum agencies. These agencies act as the middle man between locum tenens and medical facilities, and they also look after all the details pertaining to travel for locum tenens, accommodation and the nature of locum work.
Thus, maintaining a healthy locum doctor-agency relationship benefits both the parties, and it also increases the probability of getting recommendable employment opportunities and businesses or vice-versa.
