| How 'vacation-deprived' are you? Posted: 30 Nov 2011 11:06 PM PST  Oh, dear. Japanese are the most "vacation-deprived" people in the world, taking just five days holiday a year. They are also the most likely to check emails when on vacation. Americans are the most likely to go on holiday to gamble, while South Koreans are the most romantic, with 45 percent going on holiday for love. Oh, yeah! These are some of the conclusions from Expedia's 2011 Vacation Deprivation study, a month-long survey analyzing the vacation habits of more than 7,000 working adults in more than 20 countries.    |
| Korea Tourism Organization wages war on 'Engrish' Posted: 30 Nov 2011 11:04 PM PST  Looks like Engrish.com -- the snarky website showcasing error-riddled English signs in Asia -- won't be getting as many submissions from Korea. How awesome is this? Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) is offering to reward photographers who submit snaps of muddled signs at tourist spots. The prize? A gift card of ₩50,000 (approximately US$45) that can be used at any vendor that accepts credit cards -- otherwise known as free money. Although there are no hard-and-fast rules about what constitutes a "tourist spot," you can't go wrong with the usual foreigner hotspots of Myeong-dong and Itaewon.    |

| Bangkok's most bizarre eating experiences Posted: 30 Nov 2011 01:55 PM PST  Bangkok is well known for its oddities, so it should come as no surprise that it has its fair share of peculiar restaurants. Here are nine of the most bizarre eating spots you're ever likely to come across in Bangkok. Hajime Robot RestaurantAt this futuristic Japanese restaurant, the beady-eyed robots not only bring your food and take away empty dishes, they also do clunky dance routines at regular intervals, much to the delight of the customers. The food itself plays second fiddle to the attention-seeking mechanoids, who are sadly unable to communicate with the patrons, although deep down you get the feeling the bots know what's going on and are just rolling with it.    |
| Oz adventure: 40 summer outings Posted: 30 Nov 2011 11:56 AM PST  In Australia, you can sip on cocktails in funky bars and explore the outback on horseback or by four-wheel drive. All in the same day. In such a big country, even natives can get disorientated when traveling. That's why we've made it easy for you with this ultimate Australian adventure. 40. Horseback riding: Snowy MountainsIn the foothills of the Snowy Mountains, Snowy Wilderness is a privately owned sanctuary for wild horses, known as "brumbies."
