| Tokyo dental fad? Make your teeth look worse Posted: 30 Sep 2011 03:00 AM PDT  Tourists come to Asia from all over the world to take advantage of affordable and top-quality cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures. But in what could be a new fad in Japan has us wondering how many people will be flying in for supplemental dental work that promises to make teeth appear crooked. Perhaps your folks spent thousands on fixing your wonky teeth all those years ago. But chances are, if you were born in Japan, it was more like zero -- the lack of orthodontists is one reason why having a mouth full of straight teeth isn't such a big deal here.      |
| 5 small but fantastic Bangkok museums Posted: 29 Sep 2011 10:37 PM PDT  The city's big tourist sights -- the Grand Palace or Wat Pho -- get all the hype. But if you're looking for another perspective on Thai history, an interactive place to take the kids or just a spot to go on a rainy afternoon, check out any of these five small Bangkok museums.    |
| Early Hong Kong travel in pictures, guide books and Louis Vuitton trunks Posted: 29 Sep 2011 09:59 PM PDT  What did tourists do in Hong Kong 100 years ago? The Avenue of Stars certainly didn't exist then. This is the subject of the current exhibition "Early Hong Kong Travel (1880-1939)" which showcases more than 100 exhibits at the University of Hong Kong Museum and Art Gallery. Louis Vuitton and the Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels Limited have contributed to the exhibition and LV's vintage monogrammed trunks are a big draw. But the museum's honorary advisor Benjamin W. Yim, who has loaned much of his own collection of Hong Kong tourism historical artifacts to the exhibit, hopes that visitors will enjoy the show in its entirety. "This exhibition can give everyone a perspective of Hong Kong history," says Yim.    |
| Posted: 29 Sep 2011 05:00 PM PDT 只带着笔记本和铅笔，背个小布袋轻装环游世界？你这个梦想恐怕永远也无法实现。 面对现实吧，只有最具有苦行僧精神的旅行者们才能够"一衣一钵"走天下。 不过我们还是有办法在出门旅行时精简。 下面就来看看怎样用10件轻便衣物来做到漂亮、舒适、实用三不误吧。
1. 羊绒披肩它远胜于过去那种普通的针织围巾，羊绒披肩的"魔力"能让一个穿着背心裙风尘仆仆的背包客瞬间变成一个体面的访客。 当你把披肩从脖子上拿下来展开时，一定会惊讶它的尺寸。 在巴基斯坦或马来西亚一类的保守国家参观清真寺和寺庙时，它的宽度刚好用来包住肩膀或头部。 在高档餐馆里用餐有些紧张？ 如果想要服务员态度恭敬，用披肩裹住胸部或肩部吧，这样你那件廉价背心会立马显得顺眼了许多。 你可以在www.mypashmina.co.uk上购买羊绒披肩，或者随便走进全世界任何一个集市，一定会有人向你推销的。 2. 男友版的T恤这件衣服的作用可不仅仅是让你在非常想他的时候拿来闻一下。 如果你不小心住进了一家连床单都收钱的黑店或者卫生条件很不好的旅店，那么一件大T恤刚好能当作一个不错的枕套。 不管你怎么小心，还是有可能住进男女混住的宿舍，这时候没有什么比穿着男生T恤的女生更能无声地宣称"别看着我睡觉"了。    |
| Where to watch the Rugby World Cup in Singapore Posted: 29 Sep 2011 03:00 PM PDT Rugby and Singapore go a long way back. The "hooligans' game played by gentlemen" was brought over by the British in the 19th century, with Singapore competing in the Malay Cup, one of the oldest rugby competitions in the world. Come 2019, with the Rugby World Cup being hosted in Japan, Singapore will co-host five matches; but until the rugby ball lands on our shores, we have only satellite feeds for our rugby fix. But no one said that we should stay at home for it …    |

| Shanghai’s stone-cold sober whisky tour Posted: 29 Sep 2011 02:57 PM PDT Spotting Shanghai as a prime city to regain its footing in Asia, the Johnnie Walker House in Sinan Mansions serves as the brand's first -- and only -- location outside Scotland. In addition to hosting private events, the institution runs private jaunts through its residence in the leafy former French Concession -- if only you can keep up. "Keep Walking" are onerous words on a normal tour, but they reappear throughout the three-level liquor lodgings.    |
| The new Bibimbap: A modern take on a Korean food favorite Posted: 29 Sep 2011 02:55 PM PDT For Seoulites craving some variation on their traditional bowl of bibimbap, these three creative innovations new to the scene serve up a culinary adventure. 1. The Lounge: the artistic touchFor a more artistic experience of this beloved dish, visit The Lounge on the 24th floor of the Park Hyatt hotel in Samseong-dong. Instead of the standard rice in a bowl with various vegetables and other ingredients laid on top, the Park Hyatt lays the bibimbap ingredients out separately on a large, rectangular plate, like a palette.    |
