| Slums in the sky: Hong Kong rooftop squatters Posted: 26 Sep 2011 08:00 PM PDT It's a part of Hong Kong you can only see from above: rooftop slums home to tens of thousands of people. Unable to afford a regular apartment in Hong Kong's extraordinarily expensive housing market and forced to wait years for a public housing unit, entire families live in illegal shacks on top of the city's apartment blocks. There are so many rooftop houses that the government doesn't even bother keeping track of them. According to a spokesman for the Buildings Department, there is no data on illegal rooftop houses or other structures.    | |
| Posted: 26 Sep 2011 07:25 PM PDT 在泰國南部的一條海邊村落，一隻屬於小孩的啡色鞋子被白浪拍打著。 太陽照射著一群正在吃草的瘦弱小牛上。 人跡罕至。 一股不尋常的寧靜氣氛籠罩著這個地方，一個褪色指示牌寫著：「海嘯地區： 海嘯發生時，請走到高地或內陸地區。」 這裡從前是一條叫作 Ban Talae Nok 的村落，在2004年海嘯的7年後，原居民仍然害怕搬回這裡。 Ban Talae Nok 是一個很小的社區，解作「遠離海邊」。諷刺地，12 月 26 日海嘯帶走了泰國這區成千上萬的生命。 「我們現在身處的地方從前是學校。」Chittri Phetcharat，又名 Tok，跟我地一邊在這荒廢的海灘走著，一邊說。 現在剩下的是學校外露的地基，還有一個被瓦礫堆圍著的小方形空地。 海嘯摧毀了成個村落，228 個村民裡有 47 人的生命被帶走。 Tok 在海嘯中被沖走，在海上漂流 4 小時。 她找到一個氣枕扶著才沒有被淹死。 「那時我不熟水性。」她說。 「我一直抓著氣枕，一直扶著。 我不想死。」 海嘯發生的一刻仍歷歷在目。 「我看到遠處有個大浪。 我一直看著。 10 至 20 分鐘海浪終於湧了上岸。 「我爬上樹上。 但浪太大，我被沖到海裡。」 漂流了很長的時間，我遇到一對情侶抓著一張梳化。那時，Tok 終於著陸，在附近的馬騮島過了一晚，最後被直升機救回。    | |
| Posted: 26 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT 令人惊叹的。 休闲放松的。 《钢琴》式的。 从亚伯塔斯曼的金色海湾，到科罗曼德半岛的自然温热水域，新西兰海滩上丰沛的明媚阳光和清澈的海水，把所有能想到的形容词都用上也不够。 你住在新西兰吗？或者你去过那里吗？ 你有什么最好的旅游小贴士吗？
1. 科罗曼德半岛，热水海滩
它是新西兰最棒海滩之一，了解这里的游客会带好铁铲，在退潮前后大约两个小时赶到。 这样，他们就可以在涨潮线的位置挖个洞，享受一次专属的天然温泉水疗放松——在潮水涨上来之前这种乐趣都不会结束。 这些沿海的温泉都很独特，冒上来的水里富含对身体健康有益的矿物质——钙、镁、钾等。 如果你感觉精力充沛的话，徒步走上40分钟就可以到达风景壮丽的教堂湾(Cathedral Cove)。    | |
| Gallery: Bangladesh's box with three locks Posted: 26 Sep 2011 03:00 PM PDT How Bangladesh's poorest farming communities are fighting poverty with a basic, but successful, banking system None of the people attending the meeting in Bandarban, a rural region in Bangladesh, owns a watch. But come noon, nobody is absent. The faces are solemn, and with good reason. It is time to manage the savings of one of the poorest communities in Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world. Travelers come to this region rarely, despite a "Beautiful Bangladesh" tourism campaign. Unlike Dhaka, which attracts travelers and expats and allows access to all the benefits of city life, most of Bangladesh's poverty-stricken rural residents have to improve their lives by themselves.    | |
| Dhobi Ghat: Mumbai’s human washing machines Posted: 26 Sep 2011 02:58 PM PDT CNNGo iReporter Maya Sorabjee's photo tour of Mumbai's massive open-air laundry Ever since last year's release of the Bollywood blockbuster of the same name, Dhobi Ghat's become an increasingly popular sight to see. Tucked away amid the cacophony of Mahalaxmi Station, this open-air laundromat is the perfect place to take your camera and soak in the suds on a Saturday morning. From the flyover that heads towards Saat Rasta, Dhobi Ghat looks like a neat concrete game of Tetris, with interlocking grids of wash pens of Rs 300 per month that are infused with scattered bundles of a day's worth of the city's laundry. Upon venturing downwards and into the area, we were greeted by the alluring smell of detergent that creates an atmospheric bubble separating Dhobi Ghat from urban bustle; at least, superficially.    | |
| Seoul’s 5 best Korean barbecue restaurants Posted: 26 Sep 2011 02:57 PM PDT  In Seoul, it can be a daunting task to choose from the staggering number of gogi-jip (literally, "meat houses"), or Korean barbecue restaurants, that sit on almost every corner. Undeniably a quintessential part of the Korean dining experience, Koreans will take any excuse to head to a barbecue restaurant. Foodies search for the freshest quality beef --preferably hanwoo (Korean beef)--and are equally critical in terms of the "siksa" (the "meal" following the barbecue, usually comprised of noodles, stew or fried rice).    | |
| Where to experience Buddhist hell in Thailand Posted: 26 Sep 2011 02:57 PM PDT A quick guide to Buddhism's torture chambers and where to find some of the most grotesque sites of purgatory Come to Thailand and go straight to hell. Hieronymus Bosch's medieval Garden of Earthly Delights and other paintings include sinners in a Christian hell, but if the Dutch artist is ever reincarnated as a Buddhist, he might be intrigued by Thailand's temple murals and larger-than-life statues of horrific karmic punishments. Want to copulate in an immoral tryst? Murder someone? Or violate some other important Buddhist precept?    |
