| Shanghai executive discovers U.S. land cheaper than Chinese KFC Posted: 04 Aug 2011 03:38 AM PDT  Shrewd Shanghainese might have found a smart resolution to the soaring real estate market. One Shanghai executive recently purchased a 1,000-square-meter plot in Florida for US$8,800 via an Internet auction organized by Chinese real estate website Soufun.com (搜房网), reported Guangzhou Daily. The buyer, who wishes to go by the pseudonym Ye Zi (叶子), is a female human resources officer at a Shanghai manufacturing company.    |
| Up for auction: Bruce Lee memorabilia Posted: 04 Aug 2011 03:15 AM PDT  An auction of 13 pieces of Bruce Lee memorabilia will take place this Saturday in Hong Kong, the kung fu legend's hometown. Jointly organized by Kelleher Auctions and Phila China of Hong Kong, the auction of items previously owned by Lee's friends and family is expected to fetch up to HK$880,000. The lot expected to get the highest bid is a handwritten letter by Lee to Taky Kimura, his fellow kung fu instructor, friend and best man at his 1964 wedding. The note may fetch between HK$$200,000 to $300,000.    |
| A wake-up call for Thais who sleep with their cell phones Posted: 04 Aug 2011 02:40 AM PDT  A telecommunications protection group is warning Thais to stop sleeping with their mobile phones at night to reduce the risk of developing a brain tumor. Bangkok's English-language newspapers carried the warning, stemming from a World Health Organization (WHO) report released in May that found people who use their mobiles phones too much risk getting cancer.    |
| Nestlé teaches Singaporeans how to recycle Posted: 04 Aug 2011 01:52 AM PDT If you find yourself tossing plastic bottles and newspapers into the same recycling bin, this phone app is for you. Developed by Nestlé, the 123Recycle application scans a product's barcode to provide information on how to sort and dispose of the different parts of an item's packaging. Available for the moment only in Singapore, the app -- applicable on Androids and iPhones -- was developed in collaboration with the Nanyang Polytechnic School of Information Technology for both Nestlé and non Nestlé products. Sadly, the creation of the app came about from observing the general missteps Singaporeans committed when recycling.    |

| First Qantas layoff: Travolta loses in-flight gig Posted: 03 Aug 2011 08:02 PM PDT  John Travolta's three-minute safety cameo, which has been shown on every Qantas flight for the last five months, has been labeled "corny" by airline staff, but that's not the reason it's been canned.    |
| Posted: 03 Aug 2011 07:48 PM PDT  先別妄下判斷。 畢竟在韓語裡 「bang」 （音BAH-ng）只是「房」的意思。 然而，跟首爾年輕人提議上 「bang 」的確會惹來嘲笑，甚至被摑一記耳光。 事實上，大部份組成韓國 「bang 文化」 的房間就像 「bang」 在英文俚語裡所表達的意思一樣。 bang 24 小時營業，因而成為年輕情侶獨處的熱門地方。 即使對新型 bang 作最粗略的介紹，也會讓人覺得內有蹊蹺。 大多數房間不出 20 平方米，設隔音牆壁及窗簾（如有窗戶的話），設有大咕臣和毛毯。 bang 的原型bang 文化的原型 video-bang 始於 90 年代早期，是設有大螢幕、提供沙發和一系列流行影碟的小房間。 原本設計為電影迷提供便宜的選擇，但因房間的私密環境，令 video-bang 漸漸流行於首爾年輕人之中。 「我以前唸大學時，常在空堂時去 video-bang 小睡。」28 歲的 Eunhee Kim 說。 「我會放一部安靜的電影，法國片是不錯的選擇，尤其是考試期間我可以在空檔時間小睡一兩個小時。」 她補充，她也看過許多年輕情侶在 video-bang 進進出出，可是也有很多學生像她那樣光顧。 「真的不錯，因為房間暗暗，設有空調，比到澡堂休息好得多，澡堂裡每分鐘都有人踩到你，而且很嘈吵。」 Kim 說。    |
| Shanghai follows Seoul down to the virtual subway supermarket Posted: 03 Aug 2011 06:56 PM PDT  Shanghai is following in Seoul's footsteps by creating more shopping opportunities for metro commuters. Yihaodian (一号店), China's leading online grocery store, introduced "virtual supermarkets" to Shanghai's metro stations earlier this week. Large LED screens advertising everything, from diapers to raw meat, have been posted at nine metro lines across the city.    |
