| World's 10 most hated airports Posted: 09 Nov 2011 12:00 AM PST  There's a special form of loathing reserved for a building that forces you to remove your shoes, wait in line, get groped, shell out for bad food and dash in a panic to an arbitrarily changed gate before canceling your flight. But let's be clear. The most hated airports in the world are not the worst airports in the world. For that you'll have to consult Lonely Planet or fly to destinations the majority of us have little need to pin on a map or pronounce properly.

| Tiong Bahru: Singapore’s oldest and hippest 'hood Posted: 08 Nov 2011 08:00 PM PST  There is a popular saying that everything old becomes new again, and it proves especially true with Singapore's veteran hipster suburb, Tiong Bahru. Singapore's first housing estate, built in the 1930s to the west of Chinatown, has a rich, colorful past. For years, it was referred to as Mei Ren Wu (directly translated as "den of beauties"), as many rich men housed their mistresses in this estate. |
| Living with water: Bangkok residents share their stories Posted: 08 Nov 2011 07:50 PM PST  If you're in Bangkok right now, chances are you're affected by the current flood crisis. That doesn't necessarily mean you've even seen a drop of floodwater, given so much of the city is still dry. Maybe you can't find your favorite beer at the supermarket, or had to cancel an important event because nobody is in the mood to celebrate. Others are far less fortunate. Some have had to leave their homes and rent an apartment in the city center, others have closed their business due to a lack of clients. We asked nine city residents what impact the floods have had on their lives. The stories are vast, with one common theme. Everyone is fighting to carry on with their lives as uncertainty becomes the new normal. |
| Tea vs. coffee: Two Mumbai experts trade tips Posted: 08 Nov 2011 02:00 PM PST  I am an infidel tea drinker. Which means I swing both ways every once in a while, cheating on my tea with the occasional coffee. Generally people tend to lean more toward one or other beverage. But Snigdha Manchanda Binjoli is a tea fanatic all the way. She acquired her certification as a tea sommelier from Sri Lanka and currently runs tea appreciation workshops in Mumbai. Binjoli also runs a dedicated tea blog called www.teatrunk.com which she uses to market her line of handcrafted tea bags. Not to say that she doesn't enjoy her coffee every now and then, but her coffee consumption is limited to the rare days when she needs a strong caffeine boost. |
| Posted: 08 Nov 2011 01:57 PM PST  LOHAS is a slightly awkward acronym for Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability. Essentially, it is a movement to encourage individuals and businesses to find ways of promoting sustainability, and its aim is to bring balance to both the environment and people's lives. Approximately 17 percent of consumers in China's top five cities -- a combined population of more than 60 million -- reckon they follow such as a lifestyle. Pollution, rampant urbanization, traffic and food safety issues have also resulted in a rapid development of the LOHAS market in Shanghai. Here are six of the best options to help you make the sustainable lifestyle leap. |
