It is enough to make an American boy's heart fill with envy.

He may boast of six pockets, but what of that? They could all be filled and stowed away in one of Lotus Blossom's sleeves, and room would be still left. The little girl's life is like a long playtime. In the first place, she lives in a sort of play-house.

There is nothing to get out of order; no chairs in the way, no table-scarfs to pull down, no ink-wells to tip over. There is only one big room in the house, but there are many beautiful paper screens, so her mamma can divide the house just as she pleases by moving the screens about. If company should arrive suddenly, there need be no question whether there is a guest-room or not. One can be made with screens in a moment. Even the front of the house is made of screens, which can be closed at night, and folded away in the morning to open up the whole house to the fresh air and sunshine.

There are no carpets on the floors, but instead of these there are pretty mats made of rushes. They are exactly alike in size, and are shaken every morning.

There are no chairs, for Lotus Blossom's family sit on the mats or on cushions on the floor. They cannot lean against the walls either, for remember, there are no walls! And if they should lean against the screens they would tumble over. The only tables are six inches high. They are pretty and delicate, and are highly lacquered. When Lotus Blossom has nothing else to do, she likes to look at the pictures on these little stands.

But where are the stoves? How do the people keep warm in the cold winter days? And where is all the cooking done? In the picture do you see a little box with smoke rising from it? It is lined with metal, and charcoal is burned in it. All the food is prepared over these little fire-boxes.

If any one is cold, he has only to get a fire-box, light some charcoal, and sit down beside it. And when Lotus Blossom goes to breakfast, she has a fire-box beside the lacquered table, so that water for her tea can be kept hot. That little girl, nine years old, drinking tea? Yes, we have to admit that the Japanese child drinks tea at a very early age; and with no milk or sugar, either. But then the cups are so tiny they do not hold much. They are no bigger than those in a doll's china set. How quickly the little tea-table is set at meal times.

Each member of the family has one all to himself. There is no table-cloth, no knife, or fork, or spoon; instead of these one sees a pair of chop-sticks, a small cup and saucer, and a plate from which he eats the steaming rice and the minced fish. But suppose that the tea or rice should be spilled on the beautiful table? Please don't imagine such a thing. Japanese children are too carefully trained by their kind mammas to be so careless. They handle their chop-sticks so daintily that no grain of rice nor bit of fish falls as they lift the food to their pretty mouths.

Butler Nixon-Roulet Nixon-Roulet from Gutenberg. Participants quickly pressed "stop" or "go" buttons based on the symbol's meaning - not the color. In the end, the pronounced stride and steadfast stance made the quirky figure from the East more effective than his svelte Western comrade. Perhaps because his outstretched "don't-walk-now" arms bear a resemblance to a "do not enter" sign?

Peschke said these findings should alert EU decision-makers set to homogenize crosswalk lights throughout Europe and offer insight into the effectiveness of other signage, like emergency exits.

When East German traffic psychologist Karl Peglau designed the now-iconic figure in, his goal was to craft a traffic signal that pedestrians found appealing. If people were ever going to follow the figure's advice - stop or go - he reasoned, they needed to like the little guy. In the mids, designer Markus Heckhausen scavenged some of the leftover crosswalk lights, repurposing them into lamps. He later founded Ampelmann Ltd. Even the mayor of Hollywood has plans to equip a major crosswalk there with the beloved illuminated German.

And although psychologist Peglau never imagined the cult-following that would ensue, he expressed one wish before be passed away in As a result, he now struts across - or boldly barricades - most of the crosswalk lights in Germany's capitol. In Darmstadt, he instructs children to cross or not at the Frankenstein school. For Peschke, what is yet to come is a new study to identify parts of the brain that help control our visual attention during conflict.

The city of Berlin has launched the Design Souvenir Award. The contest is open to any designer wanting to give the capital's kitschy souvenirs a cutting-edge makeover. Acclaimed photojournalist Harald Hauswald has released a new book of rare color images portraying daily life in the GDR. He speaks with DW about working against the regime and smuggling images beyond the Berlin Wall.

DW's Stuart Braun tours the historic twists, turns and quirks of the Berlin subway system with Kate Seabrook, the Australian photographer who set out to document every single station in the capital. The capital of the West African nation of Liberia has witnessed the first installation of traffic lights since a 14 year civil war ended in
