| Duty-free shopping in Asia: Which airport has the best deal? Posted: 18 Nov 2011 01:16 AM PST  Beware, shopaholic travelers, this post might just cause a change of plans to your next trip. For anyone who can resist the temptation -- read on. Shanghai is claiming its two city airports -- Hongqiao and Pudong International -- offer the best bang for your buck when it comes to duty-free shopping, Oriental Morning Post reported today.

| Relief for Mumbai travelers: Toilet every 2 kilometers Posted: 17 Nov 2011 11:15 PM PST  When you gotta go, you gotta go. But the question is -- where? By planning to introduce free-for-use washrooms for women every two kilometers, Mumbai's civic body intends to make life for local women and female tourists a lot less painful, as anyone going over Mumbai's road bumps with a full bladder will attest. "The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is planning to build dedicated toilets for women within every two kilometers in the city -- after their construction, the maintenance and management of these will be handed over to NGOs," BMC standing committee chairman Rahul Shevale told the Indo-Asian News Service. |
| Phuket's best pool villas and suites Posted: 17 Nov 2011 05:55 PM PST  Phuket is considered the Asian birthplace of the modern pool villa. The renowned Amanpuri introduced them to the island back in 1987 and the Banyan Tree followed suit in 1994. "Luxury is now defined by private pool villas," says Phuket-based Bill Barnett, managing director of consulting firm C9 Hotelworks. And with no shortage of fine designs and private pleasure to choose from, international visitors with big bank accounts will have few problems finding the perfect spot to sit and swill margaritas as they take in a private seaview sunset. |

位置: 前臂內側，手腕往下兩個姆指位，兩條筋腱之間。 該穴位並非位於表面，因此按深一點以達致更佳效果。 2. 頸背痛： 舒筋穴
落枕的話，可一邊打圈輕揉穴位，一邊慢慢把頭部往左右兩邊轉去。 位置: 輕握拳頭，手心向上，在尾指最大一個關節下有一條長長的手掌線， 該線於手掌與手背的交界點便是穴位的位置。 |
| Crop notes: Vietnam's farmer violinists Posted: 17 Nov 2011 02:00 PM PST Lang Then in Vietnam's northern Bac Giang province looks like many hamlets in the countryside. Yellow gates squat at its entrance and rice fields stretch into the distance. Old village lanes and single-story houses with large courtyards for drying the rice crop sit beside larger modern houses of three or four stories. But this is like no other village in Vietnam. What sets it apart is not how it looks, but how it sounds. Often, the notes of violins carry across the fields. For more than 50 years Lang Then has been famous for its string orchestra, made up of farmers. |
| Hainan Riyuewan: The best surf beach in China Posted: 17 Nov 2011 01:57 PM PST  Surf buffs take note: you've got two weeks to pack for Surfing Hainan Open, China's biggest annual surf competition held on Hainan Island. Known as "China's Hawaii" (or "Russia's Florida" depending on whom you ask), Hainan Island (海南岛) is probably China's best-known tropical resort destination. Golf, tennis, swimming and dining at hotel buffets appear to be the most popular tourist activities, but more and more visitors are also coming to ride waves. |
| Tokyo day trip: Surprisingly good wine excursion Posted: 17 Nov 2011 01:55 PM PST  It's a beautiful, warm Sunday in autumn, the kind of weather Tokyo residents long for after the city's sweltering summer. The kind of day that lures people outdoors. Not me, it seems. I'm standing inside a cave that's damp, cool and crowded. Thankfully, I'm with a few friends. Even better, there's plenty of wine to go around. |
