| Posted: 28 Jun 2011 03:00 AM PDT  Malaysia Airlines will ban babies from traveling first class on its Airbus A380 super jumbo jet, according to online reports. The decision comes after the airline banned babies from the first class section of its fleet of Boeing 747-400 jets. The baby ban will be extended to its Airbus A380 jets, Malaysia Airlines CEO Tengku Azmil told Australia Business Traveller on Sunday via Twitter. Requests from CNNGo to comment went unanswered at time of writing.      |
| China becomes world's second-largest iPhone app market Posted: 28 Jun 2011 12:27 AM PDT  Global tech investors have yet another reason to salivate over China. Recent reports by Netherlands-based app consultant and publisher Distimo rated China the world's largest iPhone application download market, after the United States. The news rings like a dinner bell for international companies and developers keen on tapping into the hot Chinese market. China's app download volume has grown steadily and rapidly throughout 2011. The reports of Chinese growth come sooner than many insiders anticipated, given that Apple opened its first tailored iTune App Store for China only in October 2010.    |
| Mumbai’s hike to the drinking age inspires anger and fierce rebuttal Posted: 27 Jun 2011 09:55 PM PDT  While the battle over government corruption rages on the national level, the state of Maharashtra has its own bizarre battle brewing over an issue people are just as vehement about -- booze. The hot debate of summer 2011 is, who's allowed a stiff drink, how much should they pay for it and do the sober people shaping social welfare policy know what they're doing? Maharashtra's Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and Social Welfare Minister Shivajirao Moghe are the brains behind an unpopular liquor law passed this month raising the legal drinking age from 21 to 25.    |

| 9 rising 'It' stars in Korean entertainment Posted: 27 Jun 2011 08:20 PM PDT If you have watched any Korean television in the last five years, you may realize that it's impossible for a Korean entertainer to survive prime time with just one skill alone. No, these days, actors sing, singers act, and all celebs moonlight as comedians on variety shows, until you can't remember who was originally what anymore. This is especially true of the younger generation of entertainers, for whom the lines are often blurred from their very debut.    |
| iReport: World's most 'revolting' foods Posted: 27 Jun 2011 07:17 PM PDT Everyone likes to tell their friends, and sometimes the world, about the most delicious dishes they discover. But not everything is a tasty delicacy worthy of letters home. Or are they? Do gruesome foodstuffs such as woodworms and fried frogs taste much better than they sound? CNNGo iReporters take us through some of the culinary challenges they've been unlucky (or lucky) enough to chow down on.

| Posted: 27 Jun 2011 04:53 PM PDT 將藝術家的性格與其作品的特徵混為一談，永不是明智之舉，但有時你卻禁不住把兩者聯繫在一起。 所以，當David Lachapelle 的性格跟其照片所顯露出的不吻合時，有點令人驚訝。 任何一個人看過這位 47 歲攝影師的作品，都會估計他及其拍攝影像都一樣是傲慢的、轟動的。 但事實上，他相當謙虛，說話亦柔聲細語。 Lachapelle 上個月在香港參加香港國際藝術展覽、期間你可發現他參與不同派對與人交談，並參與一場知識和文化討論，聊聊藝術是否應該美麗的（他認為是應該的）。最重要的是，他在 De Sarthe Fine Arts 舉辦了一場新的展覽。 展覽中展出一些新的作品，包括讓人印象深刻、巨大的 7 平方米拼貼畫「The Raft of Illusion, Raging Toward Truth II」，它是參考 Théodore Géricault 在 1819 年著名的繪畫作品「The Raft of the Medusa」，描述了一艘沉沒的法國船上一群受了傷、衣著破爛的生還者。    |
| Invisible Photographer Asia: Opening the shutters on street photography in Asia Posted: 27 Jun 2011 03:00 PM PDT A Hindu devotee prepares for the festival of Thaipusam, marked by rituals of pain, by piercing his entire chest and abdomen with small hooks. In the freezing Beijing winter a man stands in only his underwear by an icy pool of water. At a Workers' Party rally during the recent Singapore general elections, a party supporter wears a hard hat festooned with a towering arrangement of party flags and banners, while, separately, another member of the crowd holds a giant hammer, the party's symbol, that says "500kgs."    |
| Bettys Kitschen: Good at the kitsch, not so good in the kitchen Posted: 27 Jun 2011 03:00 PM PDT Bettys Kitschen seems to be Alan Yau Duk Wai's way of keeping himself on his toes. The Hong Kong-born, London-based restaurateur, is known for bringing Asian cuisine to Western palates. His Michelin-starred restaurants Hakkasan and Yauatcha have come to define Chinese fine dining for Londoners, while his Wagamama chain has become almost synonymous with Japanese ramen.    |
| The central Bangkok food court experience Posted: 27 Jun 2011 02:55 PM PDT Clean, air-conditioned and swarmed by Bangkokians, the Thai capital's indoor food courts provide some of the city's more underrated dining experiences. With anywhere from 15 to 50 different stands serving a variety of cuisine from around Asia, and with most plates priced at 75 baht or less, these are great spots for a quick, tasty, authentic lunch. One of the city's best and most densely concentrated food-court hopping areas is the madhouse commercial center of Siam Square, Pathumwan and Pratunam: here are five worth checking out.    |
