| Twitter to the rescue during #mumbaiblasts Posted: 14 Jul 2011 01:52 AM PDT  Let's backtrack to Wednesday evening when the Twitter hashtag #mumbaiblasts started trending in the wake of the terrorist bomb attacks. Three tweets carried cell phone numbers offering pick-ups to anyone stranded at the blast sites in Dadar, Zaveri Bazaar and Opera House. As soon as the government brought the word "terror" into play -- due to the coordinated nature of the attacks and the type of explosives used -- cellphone numbers of police control rooms popped up on the #mumbaiblasts feed.      |
| Amid heavy rain, Mumbai returns to strange normality Posted: 14 Jul 2011 12:08 AM PDT  Mumbai returned quickly to a strange sense of normality on Thursday, less than 12 hours after triple blasts hit the city late Wednesday, leaving dozens dead and many more injured.    |
| Zebra Music Festival: Bands, beer and bikinis on Shanghai beach Posted: 13 Jul 2011 11:57 PM PDT  Most of you won't need to read the rest of this article because the words "beach" and "party" are enough to get you booking with this festival days in advance. But for those who still need convincing, read on. Founded in Chengdu three years ago, Zebra Musical Festival (ZMF) will hit Shanghai for the first time this summer. The festival will take place on August 5-7 at Jinshan City Beach, about 50 minutes by road from downtown Shanghai.    |
| History repeating: Survey pegs Tokyo as most expensive Asian city Posted: 13 Jul 2011 11:32 PM PDT Another day, another survey about the most expensive cities in which to live the expat life. This time it's U.S.-based human resources consultant Mercer counting the beans, stacking the wads and spiking the receipts. Setting aside the conceit of why exactly these mysterious "expat" creatures need a different system for weighing the price of eggs than the rest of us do, Mercer's "Worldwide Cost of Living survey 2011" contains few surprises. As you were, JapanNo gold stars for guessing that Tokyo comes out top in Asia, nor that it's joined by Osaka at number six and Nagoya at number 11 in the global rankings.    |

| Posted: 13 Jul 2011 05:02 PM PDT 今年七月中國共產黨建黨 90 週年，中共歌頌從前的革命故事和「大舵手」等宣傳及慶祝攻勢一浪接一浪。 以下（非官方）首都漫步遊 — 毛澤東的足跡，帶你領略共產思想運動的精神。
1. 毛主席紀念堂
毛澤東於 1976 年逝世，遺體經防腐處理後，安放於這個前蘇聯式紀念堂；現場有告示提醒遊客除下帽子並保持嚴肅，但戴上白色手套的保安還是要惱氣沖沖地喝止毫不恭敬、高聲講電話的遊客。 早點到來遊覽 — 紀念堂於正午 12 時關閉 早上 8 時至正午 12 時； 北京東城區長安街天安門廣場
2. 萊佛士酒店作家吧
酒店曾於二次大戰遭日本侵佔，十年後毛澤東的解放軍在此設宴，當時天安門廣場側的人民大會堂仍未開始建造。 2005 年由萊佛士接手，大堂滿是吊燈裝飾，散發著歷史的氣息。 而於 2000 年翻新的古老實木舞池，則曾留下那一位毛先生舞動的足跡。 東城區東長安街 33 號； +86 10 6526 3388

| Seoul's Sunday Filipino Market serves pork adobo and gossip Posted: 13 Jul 2011 02:57 PM PDT  While much of Seoul shops at department stores or E-Mart on weekends, those looking for a more unusual culinary expedition have begun to discover the Sunday Filipino market in Jongno. Featuring Filipino fare from duck fetuses and pork adobo to fresh coconut drinks, the open-air market has grown over the past decade as the number of Filipinos living in Korea has steadily increased. Currently there are more than 7,000 Filipinos living in Korea; many of these homesick expats seek out the market for familiar food and company. Sauces and spiceFor those interested in cooking Filipino food at home, the market stocks basic condiments and spices.    |
