| Jetstar cabin crew complain of low pay, safety fears Posted: 28 Jul 2011 09:49 PM PDT  Australians have been flying to Thailand for decades to drink cheap beer, sleep in budget, beachside bungalows and devour Massaman curries. And that's not all: everybody knows you get more bang for your buck in Thailand. But it has been revealed that the cut-price service starts even before you get stamped into the kingdom. According to a recent ABC investigation, Qantas' budget carrier, Jetstar, has been employing Thai air hostesses on budget wages and working them on shifts that last for as long as 20 hours.    |
| Mumbai's mix-and-match approach to relationships Posted: 28 Jul 2011 07:54 PM PDT  Visitors to Mumbai often ask me how liberal this Indian city really is, given that one arm of its authority appears to be perennially engaged in tamping down our freedom to play and express in public. An attempt has been made to raise Mumbai's permissible drinking age to a world-record shattering 25; recently policemen arrested a flock of hapless youth for "dirty dancing"; an aging (and fading) right wing ideologue dusts off the cobwebs each February to spew ire on Valentine's Day and so on. Still, visitors ask me this question because regardless of how much moral policing they hear and read about there's no mistaking the free-and-easy vibe they pick up while they're in Mumbai.    |

| Fashion meets art, with a little help from Vogue Posted: 28 Jul 2011 02:59 PM PDT 30 artists and fashion designers pair up for a special exhibition in Seoul Fifteen top fashion designers were given the chance to choose their favorite artists to collaborate on a special exhibition called "Fashion into Art." The result? Art, art and more art. The exhibition was organized by Vogue Korea, which celebrates its 15th anniversary this year. Lee Myung-hee, editor-in-chief of Vogue Korea, was present at the preview last Monday, dressed in chic black and white, beaming and ushering visitors to the best spots to admire the artworks. "It was indeed difficult to gather such celebrated artists together and display their works at a single venue, but they all agreed on the experimental project and eventually came up with an original and creative event," Lee says.    |
| X-Club: Shanghai’s best nightlife spot for bellicose boozers Posted: 28 Jul 2011 02:57 PM PDT X-Club, China's first laser tag theme bar, opened to little fanfare in Shanghai three months ago. On the Sunday night when I show up with a handful of teenage boys, it stands polished but neglected, all chrome and patent leather under the Gothic bloom of the black lights. We are the only people there. But then again, it is a school night.    |
| Tequila: More than the drink of mere champs Posted: 28 Jul 2011 02:55 PM PDT Japan has 120 tequila sommeliers. Don't snicker -- it's a proper thing. If you can be qualified in fermented grape, why not distilled agave? The Japan Tequila Association began offering the titles in January. To procure one, you'll have to down 12 shots in three minutes using only your lips, then play the song "Tequila" by The Champs on a five-string vihuela. No, you won't. You'll be quizzed on the drink's history and production, cocktail recipes, food matching, regional characteristics and the stories and traits of various distilleries. You'll then blind taste a tequila and guess its provenance, style and brand.    |
| Posted: 28 Jul 2011 02:00 PM PDT  フィギュアスケーター、キム•ヨナのかっこいい振り付けと引き付けるような笑顔は、韓国を注目の的にした。しかし、この国のその他の冬スポーツに関しては、世界ではあまり知られていない。 平昌は 40,000 人の居住者を擁する山岳リゾートだ。この利点は、2018 年冬季オリンピックのホスト立候補地として確実なものにし、また世界レベルの冬のスポーツができる場所として街を再整備する時間も十分ある。 ソウルの南東 182 キロ、壮大な江原道・南部に位置する平昌は、海抜 700 メートル。韓国で最も起伏の激しい山岳地帯のひとつで、「韓国のアルプス」として知られている。 ソウルから平昌までは、現在、陸路で 3 時間 30 分かかる。 韓国政府は、2017 年に全面開通予定の最新高速列車により、所要時間を 50 分に短縮する予定だ。 韓国初のスキーリゾート冬は例年相当量の降雪があり、変化に富んだスキーゲレンデがある平昌は、スキーヤーやスノーボーダーの韓国指折の人気エリアである。 1949 年に韓国で初めてスキー大会が開催された場所であり、この国初の公式のスキーリゾートが 1975 年に建設された。    |
