| Off season is on season in these 7 stunning cities Posted: 03 Oct 2011 11:22 PM PDT High season in popular tourist destinations often dulls the charm of travel. Who can appreciate the charms of Tuscany when it takes 45 minutes just to secure a table near the restroom? Real cities are real cities 365 days a year. In fall and winter, these seven world-class destinations still offer world-class experiences without the distraction of packs of high school classes and flag-waving tour guides. 1. Florence, Italy
From June to August, the quest for "real Italian cooking" sends pizzas spinning out of Florence ovens like Frisbees tossed at throngs of hungry tourists still high on "Eat Pray Love."    |
| 5 new Singapore cocktails and cocktail bars Posted: 03 Oct 2011 08:56 PM PDT The hallmark of a good cocktail bartender -- or mixologist -- is the ability to whip, shake, stir, and invent a cocktail to suit individual taste buds and mood. That's why we like these five new cocktail bars (and their mixologists) that take the time and effort to recommend a bespoke concoction to suit individual palettes and moods.    |
| West Kowloon Cultural District: Hong Kong's ambitious experiment Posted: 03 Oct 2011 08:00 PM PDT You certainly can't say the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) has been starved of attention. Over the past 10 years, the HK$21.6 billion project has been discussed, nitpicked and reworked ad nauseam. In the lead up to the selection of Norman Foster's "City Park" scheme as the master plan for the district, just about every artist, cultural group and politician in town has had their say on the matter, from the size of the planned theaters, exhibition spaces and museums to the role that "cultural software" -- programming and education -- will play in the district's success.    |
| 15 places to party sort of like a rock star Posted: 03 Oct 2011 03:17 PM PDT Strobe lights, high heels, foam parties and tropical drinks accessorized with mini umbrellas ... if you're on the hunt for hedonistic hot spots where you can leave conventions (and often your clothes) at the door, look no further. Here are the top 15 international destinations for party animals looking to let loose and get wild.
1. Full Moon Party, Koh Pha Ngan, Thailand
Hip travelers from around the world pound back buckets of cheap potent booze, watch fire-eaters, and dance to the beat of throbbing techno.    |
| Posted: 03 Oct 2011 03:00 PM PDT 資深香港新聞工作者 Liam Fitzpatrick 用 iPhone 拍攝了許多照片，並運用 photo apps 加以修飾點綴。 得出的作品效果讓人眼前一亮。 豐富多姿的香港全貌、維港全景與讓人驚艷的香港天際，現於 Fitzpatrick 首個 iPhone 攝影展 「Kinky Vicious」中展出。 大多數人用 iPhone 來拍攝近鏡人像或美食，Fitzpatrick 的風景照卻超越了 iPhone 3GS 3 百萬像素相機的鏡頭限制，捕捉不一樣的香港風光。 我們訪問了《時代雜誌》高級編輯 Fitzpatrick，讓他分享其拍攝小技巧，以及如何捕捉更美的維港景像。 CNNGo： 為什麼選用 iPhone 拍攝？ Liam Fitzpatrick: 我也有數碼單反相機，但選擇用 iPhone 純粹是因為我時時刻刻都有 iPhone 在手。 iPhone 給人更大的自由度，現在誰都能隨手用手機拍攝，稍稍編輯一下，然後直接上載至網上。    |
| 8 incredible facts about Mumbai Posted: 03 Oct 2011 02:58 PM PDT Mumbai is an incredible city. It's been said before. Sometimes, the city itself seems alive, throbbing. The city is life itself. And like life, you never know what's going to happen next. Some incredible things, however, take place on a regular basis. Some, we're used to, and are well known, others not so much. Spare a thought for those first-time visitors to the city, for everything they encounter, everything they come across, that's too insane to be real, but totally is.    |
