| Gallery: Bracing for Bangkok floods Posted: 11 Oct 2011 04:19 AM PDT Ahead of expected floods, many are stockpiling water and food. Others are carrying on with life as usual Scenes vary dramatically in the Bangkok, where city residents are preparting for what officials warn could be the worst flooding the city has seen in decades. Life is carrying on as usual for many while others are scrambling to stock up on supplies like food, water and flashlights and trying protect their possessions from the expected deluge that will hit as waters from the flooded central plains rush in. Outside homes, businesses and schools in low-lying areas of Bangkok that the government has warned are at risk of being worst hit, people can be seen erecting flood walls out of sandbags to safeguard against the incoming waters.

| Hong Kong's top public bus sightseeing tours Posted: 10 Oct 2011 03:00 PM PDT  One of Hong Kong's best tour options offers unparalleled sights and a healthy dose of local culture at rock-bottom prices. It happens to be the public bus. Suspend your idea of what a public bus is for a moment and consider that the top deck of Hong Kong's double-decker bus fleet offers a unique vantage point from which you can explore all of Hong Kong for just a handful of dollars.
