| Why you should never take a Kinder Egg into the United States Posted: 09 Nov 2011 10:23 PM PST  The British government has warned its citizens traveling to Iceland that bringing whale meat home may result in a fine or a jail term. Whale meat is popular in Iceland, despite a 1986 international moratorium on commercial whaling. But it's not just whale meat-loving Brits that have to watch what they're packing on their travels. This information is correct at time of writing, but laws are subject to change. Always check the conditions for arrival into a country before your trip. |
| Gallery: The weird and wonderful faces of Japan after March 11 Posted: 09 Nov 2011 08:55 PM PST Photo show organizer Liezel Strauss asks the world, "What does Japan mean to you?" Liezel Strauss is proof that doing good deeds can be wholesome for the spirit. "This makes my heart sing," says the South African expat, who's lived in Tokyo for nearly two years. She's referring to the response to her charity venture, My Japan, something she makes time for in between running a busy art and design consultancy firm, BottegaTokyo, and a photographic art gallery, Subject Matter. Horror showHer story of benevolence begins back on March 11. Strauss and her British husband, Jon, were in Tokyo when the earth started shaking. They, like many, watched the images from the northeast in disbelief and horror. |

Michelin Guide에 처음으로 홍콩이 등장한 2009년에는 권위있는 인증을 받았다고 느끼는 것 같았다. 이후 홍콩 요리계는 지속적인 성장을 거듭했으며 그에 따른 발전도 빠르게 진행 되었다. 오늘날 홍콩 음식 문화와 10대 트렌드를 살펴보고 그러한 진화를 기록해보고자 한다. 1. 와인, 와인, 와인 |
| Vietnam, land of ridiculous theme parks Posted: 09 Nov 2011 02:00 PM PST  If there's one deeply unattractive quality in a travel writer it's a sneer. It doesn't matter if it's a jumped-up gap year kid blogging about how the "locals" don't understand correct environmental protection or a corpulent blowhard taking a break from opining on American politics to glare askance at hectic traffic and piles of rubbish. It's the kind of writing that doesn't do much except inflate its author's ego and annoy readers. So it's not with a sneer that we view these theme parks. It's mostly bewilderment. Why the concrete bunnies? Wherefore scale models of real things you can already see in the city? Is that guy really hanging off the rollercoaster one handed? And he's … welding? |
| Best Hong Kong souvenirs and where to get them Posted: 09 Nov 2011 02:00 PM PST  The classic"I ♥ Hong Kong" T-shirt Ladies' Market and Jardine's Bazaar as well as Li Yuan East and West streets are best. Warm up those negotiation muscles and prepare for a good ol' bargaining war with traders. Ladies' Market: take the MTR to Mong Kok Station, Exit E2, then walk along Nelson Street for two blocks. |
| Sexy, tipsy salsa: Shanghai's 5 best bars for putting on your dancing shoes Posted: 09 Nov 2011 01:57 PM PST  Looking for a change of pace? A night of salsa might just be the boost you need. Let the rhythm flow at one of these five Shanghai bars. Most of them run free dance classes at the beginning of the evening to teach you the basics of those oh-so-sultry Latin moves. 1. MuralThis is probably the most popular salsa night in town, crowded with dance devotees every Monday. With a mix of live band, DJ sets and salsa instructors, who needs more on a Monday night? Mural's intimate interiors and dusky ambience allow everyone, from amateurs to professionals, to let loose and dance the night away. To warm up, get there early and take advantage of the buy-one-get-one-free deal for all drinks on the menu (from 7 p.m.-9 p.m.). |

But although local caffeine addicts are self-proclaimed experts on taste and how to say, "One café latte, please," they know little about their cuppa's creation. Even though they demand boutique coffee from an espresso machine -- no brew here -- most don't know their barista's many secrets. Maybe the aloofness is because their southern rival, Melbourne, does it pretty much the same way. So here's your step-by-step guide -- just so you can shout at your barista if they get it wrong. |
