| Thailand goes from amazing to miraculous Posted: 28 Aug 2011 10:13 PM PDT  Suddenly, being amazing just isn't good enough. The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is reportedly planning to replace its long-running "Amazing Thailand" theme with a campaign called "Miracle Thailand." According to The Nation, the TAT wants 8.4 billion baht from the government to finance the 2011-2012 tourism campaign. Officials say the extra funds would be spent mostly on marketing activities both at home and abroad. |
| ‘Shoes off, please’: China tightens airport security Posted: 28 Aug 2011 09:36 PM PDT  Tips for travelers set to depart from Shanghai and Beijing airports: head to the airport as early as possible, wear boat shoes or slippers and don't even bother to pack your carry-on nicely. Beginning at midnight, August 29, the China Civil Aviation authority surprised many travelers by raising its security standard to level 2 at Shanghai and Beijing airports. This means passengers face higher chances of being asked to remove shoes and belts. At least 50 percent of passengers will be asked to open their carry-on bags for thorough searches. |
| The woman teaching Singaporeans how to have sex Posted: 28 Aug 2011 08:52 PM PDT  Singaporeans aren't known to be the most sexual of beings, which makes clinical sexologist Dr. Martha Lee's job both an uphill struggle and a shoo-in. A certified sexologist with a Doctorate in Human Sexuality, Lee has been running her Eros Coaching practice (www.eroscoaching.com) since 2009, providing sexuality and intimacy coaching, and sexual education workshops for individuals and couples. |

| Posted: 28 Aug 2011 06:55 PM PDT  Talk to any visitor to Tokyo and, chances are, you'll find pretty much no one who has a day or two watching professional sports high on their to-do list. Which is a shame, as the capital and its neighboring prefectures are jam-packed with top-notch sporting events that make for a superb day, evening or even weekend, out.

| Posted: 28 Aug 2011 04:08 PM PDT 每年這個時候，新加坡的一大「盛事」又到了。 並不是新加坡熱賣會、或國慶日等相關節慶，而是家長為升小學的子女瘋狂撲學位之時。 經過兩次親身體會，我可以說整個過程真的有點瘋狂。 派位程序於 7 月開始，為期長達兩個月。 家長首先會得知子女於心儀學校裡的收生優先次序，然後有數天時間提出申請。 每一收生組別（或稱「階段」）學額有限，如子女所屬「階段」的競爭人數超出學校學額，則以抽籤分派學位，而家長只有祈求上天保佑。 如未獲派學位，便會自動撥往下一階段再參與派位。如所有收生階段結束仍未有學位，則會被派往附近仍有剩餘學額之學校。 整個過程讓人傷透腦筋，緊張不已。 如最近媒體報導，許多家長 — 包括有錢的金融家和名人 — 會想盡辦法讓子女入讀心儀學校。 |
