| Get a room: No more groping in Seoul's taxis Posted: 05 Jul 2011 11:45 PM PDT Amorous couples who allow their passions to run away with them in Seoul cabs should beware -- they might end up on an Internet porn channel. Video-recording "black boxes," originally meant to be installed on the exteriors of vehicles to record accidents and determine culpability, are now being installed in the interiors of taxis in Korea. Cab drivers say that this is a useful measure in curbing the "rowdy behavior" of passengers in the back seat. "When I tell disorderly passengers they are being recorded, they quiet down immediately," one female cab driver told Chosun Ilbo. |
| 7 high-end Australian souvenirs Posted: 05 Jul 2011 09:58 PM PDT Shopping can be like a seventh-sense. You can sleep it and dream it -- and before you know it, you are walking in the front door loaded up with shopping bags. It can be tricky in Australia. With the Australian dollar soaring to record highs, it's fast becoming a very expensive exercise. New taxes are on the way and the retail industry is experiencing a slump. But forget all that. It's also fun to dream and be indulgent. Whatever you want, chances are you can find it here. Imagine having seven blank checks to buy whatever you want. So the shopping challenge is on -- a luxurious crusade to buy seven souvenirs that can fit into a (large) suitcase. |
| Best Mumbai shops for travelers Posted: 05 Jul 2011 09:58 PM PDT Everyone's looking for the same things from Mumbai shops: scarves, sandals, spiritual enlightenment. But no one wants to head home looking like every other Om-stamped chump who set foot on the subcontinent. The merchandise in these 10 exemplary stores and markets makes it hard to decide what to gift and what to keep for yourself. Don't worry, locals have the same problem. Bombay Electric: Quirky pashmina scarfYou're probably looking for a scarf of the sought-after pashmina variety. They make a great gift for a guy or a girl. But you're probably also worried about agonizing over percentages of cashmere in some backroom gallery. In Mumbai, skip the classic egg hunt and go straight for gold. |

| Posted: 05 Jul 2011 05:02 PM PDT 自 1997 年 7 月 1 日香港回歸中國以來，即使港人不是熱烈地歡迎急劇增加的內地客和新移民，香港人對這群為本地生產總值作出重大貢獻的內地人的感覺也漸漸變得淡漠。 內地客被認為是香港最喜愛的客人，他們往往帶著空空的旅行箱和長長的購物清單來港，回去時大包小包，刷光信用卡，還有一堆新款 Gucci 、Prada 和 LV 名牌貨。 對，香港人喜歡把內地人想像成這樣，也會怪他們導致化妝品、奢侈品和奶粉短缺，加劇通貨膨脹。 另一方面，香港人卻很愛內地人帶動本地經濟發展。 然而，部份內地客不只是來港掃貨的，香港吸引內地同胞的還有更多，同時也可從他們身上得益更多。 1. 搜羅「禁書」「一國兩際」的好處之一是香港還算享有言論自由，也沒有互聯網管制。 內地人在港時必會好好把握機會： 登上 Facebook 和 Twitter ，觀看 Youtube 影片，再把在內地因內容敏感而被禁的書籍帶回家。 豆瓣網上的一個群組「香港書蟲」鼓勵用戶分享他們喜歡的電影、音樂、書籍等等。 用戶亦會張貼書目，希望其他人到港旅遊時能順道把書籍帶回內地。 |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2011 05:00 PM PDT 纹艺复兴资深纹身师卓丹婷为上海乃至全中国的纹身师树立了标杆。 在一个有着13多亿人口的国家，卓丹婷是一个极为独特的个体。 28岁的卓丹婷是黑龙江哈尔滨人，也是一名专业的纹身师。走在上海的大街上，你可以一眼就把她认出来。 虽然她莫希干式的荧光绿发辨识度很高，但还远远比不上她皮肤上的斑斓图腾来得扎眼。头上、头颈上、胸部和手臂上……卓丹婷肉眼所及的每一寸肌肤几乎都有黑色的纹身。这使她几乎在上海成了反传统文化的标志。 她充满挑逗感的外形是对中国传统价值观的视觉冲击，在原先只有战友和同伴的无个性世界里是一个特立独行的存在。 卓丹婷（她更喜欢别人叫她婷）是中国人开始接受前卫思想的一个很好的例子。她有融合中西方思想观念和文化背景的强大能力。这使她在建立一个欣欣向荣的独立产业的同时，可以更好地追求自己的个性。 |
| 10 resorts for every type of traveler Posted: 05 Jul 2011 03:00 PM PDT From hotels situated in billion-year-old landscapes to the snowiest ski resort in the world, these places prove that the resort experience is so much more than lounging by the pool with masses of other sunburned tourists.

| 5 ridiculously beautiful places right next to the Shanghai metro Posted: 05 Jul 2011 02:57 PM PDT Shanghai's best-kept secrets aren't all hidden down dark corners and twisting alleyways. Some are actually highly accessible. In fact, so accessible, they're right next to a metro station. Here are our favorite natural escapes in Shanghai that are too often overlooked -- and each reachable by metro. More on CNNGo: 15 places to see in China that aren't the Great Wall 1.

| Round the bend: How NOT to get a Japanese driver's license in Tokyo Posted: 05 Jul 2011 02:55 PM PDT There's an old Japanese proverb that assures us, "The nail that sticks up gets hammered down." And at the Futamatagawa license center in Kanagawa, I learned that nothing brings out that hammer quite like the sight of a would-be American driver eager for some validation Tokyo-style. Thanks to some bad luck, I recently found myself at Futamatagawa to convert my U.S. driver's license into a Japanese one. My first bit of misfortune was that my apartment juts into Kanagawa Prefecture by just a few meters -- literally. My Kanagawa address meant I couldn't go to the more lenient Tokyo license center. |
