| Singapore floods: Google alerts where the danger spots are Posted: 06 Jun 2011 01:07 AM PDT  While you were sleeping on Sunday, 124mm of rain fell over central areas of Singapore. Low lying Tanglin Mall morphed into a water park (with its own water features), luxury cars parked at nearby St Regis Residences were up to their wheels in water, and a car driving along Cuscaden Road had to be rescued when the water level came this close to submerging the top of the car's tyres. A year on since Orchard Road was infamously flooded in 2010, it doesn't look like the Lion City is any better equipped when dealing with flash floods. According to a report by Channel New Asia, on Wednesday, a 15-year-old teenager died when he fell into an uncovered drain swollen with rainwater.      |
| Eating Thai Food Guide: 88 pages of tips, food porn and meal plans Posted: 06 Jun 2011 01:07 AM PDT Whether you're a Bangkok resident or a tourist, it's easy to get stuck in a Thai food rut and order the same dishes at every restaurant you hit, either out of habit or because you don't know what else to try. Aiming to help eaters expand their culinary boundaries, Bangkok-based food blogger Mark Wiens has put together a great 88-page guide filled with photos and info on how to order a well-rounded Thai meal. "I noticed a trend of many travelers and people living in Thailand that would eat just a select few Thai dishes on a rotating schedule," he says.    |
| Sydney goes Tokyo: Move to ban mobile phones from train carriages Posted: 05 Jun 2011 08:58 PM PDT  Anyone who has caught a train around central Tokyo knows the biggest cultural taboo is to start yapping away on your mobile phone. Vomiting salarymen on late night trains aside, Tokyo journeys are largely a silent experience. It seems this cultural trend is spreading southward. Queensland Rail has already introduced quiet zones on the first and last carriages of all trains. In Sydney, CityRail is considering following suit. The New South Wales Transport Minister, Gladys Berejiklian, told smh.com.au she will "definitely consider" introducing quiet carriages on CityRail services.    |
| Posted: 05 Jun 2011 07:57 PM PDT オーストラリアの文化的特色とも言えるカンガルーは、国章やテレビ番組に登場するだけではなく、なんとシドニーの食卓にも並ぶ。 ヘルシーさを始めとした肉そのものへの利点はさておき、「スキッピー症候群」と言われるように、オーストラリア国内でさえ、カンガルー肉の食用にためらいを見せる人はいる。 だが、万能でお値段も手軽なカンガルー肉は完全放し飼い、メタンフリーといった様々な魅力を秘めている。 さらに、何と言っても美味いのだ。 シドニーが誇るカンガルー肉が味わえるレストラントップ 5 を紹介しよう。 Blackbird Café のカンガルーグリルオリジナリティには欠けるかもしれないが、シェフのスペシャルオレンジマーマレードソースのかかった柔らかいカンガルーグリル（29.9 ドル）が毎週どの時間帯でも味わえる場所をここだけかもしれない。 完璧に調理され、最高のヘルシーステーキとなるべくスチーム野菜まで添えられたカンガルーの肉の肉料理。低脂肪のカンガルー肉は、焦げたり、硬くなりやすいため、調理法をマスターするのは決して容易ではない。 そんな中、肉汁滴るピンク色の肉に、甘いシトラスソースが旨味を増す Blackbird の素晴らしいカンガルーロインは、めったにない一品と言えるだろう。 サイズもなかなかのもの。窓側の席をゲットして、観光船が横切るのを眺めながら、カンガルー肉を心行くまで楽しもう。    |

| Definitely not the only gay in the village Posted: 05 Jun 2011 02:55 PM PDT The victory of an openly gay assemblyman in local Tokyo elections last April was feted by the world's media, including the Huffington Post and the Advocate, as a groundbreaking event. But what many reporters missed was that not one, but two gay councilmen were elected. There is also a gay assemblywoman in the city of Osaka, and a transsexual councilwoman in Tokyo.    |
