First, a discussion of Burma's rapid urbanization and transition to democracy. Then, your weekend passport with Indian photographer Dayanita Singh and learning Chinese banquet etiquette.

Then, Japanese filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki is up for an Oscar for his latest animated feature, 'The Wind Rises.' Film contributor Milos Stehlik and Beth Cary, who is translating for Miyazaki at the awards ceremony this weekend, join us to discuss his work.
