| Boeing 787 Dreamliner claims speed, distance world records Posted: 08 Dec 2011 11:54 PM PST  Boeing's fuel-efficient golden child, the 787 Dreamliner, has earned two world records for speed and distance in the airplane's weight class (200,000 to 250,000 kg), according to the company. The plane is claiming the distance record by flying 19,835 kilometers non-stop from Seattle to Dhaka, breaking the distance record set by an Airbus A330 in 2002 (16,903 kilometers). CNNGo could not confirm which authority was verifying the claims at time of writing.      |

| Thailand calls in 'Dancing Matt' to promote tourism Posted: 08 Dec 2011 08:46 PM PST  Thai tourism officials are bringing in YouTube hit-maker Matthew Harding to shake his thing in a bid to help the country get back on its feet after the recent flood crisis. Better known to his millions of viewers as "Dancing Matt," his visit is part of the Tourism Authority of Thailand's (TAT) latest campaign, "Go Thailand: All that is missing is you." Harding's viral videos can be seen on his blog, "Where the Hell is Matt?" Basically, Harding travels around the world and videos himself dancing a jig on the spot in center frame while wearing a big, happy grin. He then edits the short clips to create an admittedly heartwarming but exhausting-looking video.    |

| Best Hong Kong bands to rock out with Posted: 08 Dec 2011 02:00 PM PST  Noughts and ExesThe makers of Hong Kong's finest indie-folk-pop are set to make waves further afield as the first Asian pop band to join US label Spectra Records in August. Noughts and Exes are a multicultural outfit, whose members hail from Hong Kong, Canada, Australia and Britain. They produce an equally eclectic sound, using instruments such as electric cello, glockenspiel and melodica which come together in delicate musical tapestries. Their second album "The Start of Us" was released in 2010 (listen to it on their website), with keyboardist Gideon So and singer-songwriter Joshua Wong at the helm.    |
| So, what do three Michelin stars really taste like? Posted: 08 Dec 2011 01:55 PM PST  In the last nine months, I'd tried to have dinner at Ryugin, the legendary modern kaiseki restaurant in Roppongi, three times, but each time I was thwarted. Circumstances always seem to conspire against me. Last week, the stars finally aligned for us. As we walked through the doors, past the celebratory bouquets of white flowers lining the entrance, I felt that the timing couldn't have been better -- on November 29, Ryugin got its third Michelin star.    |
