on budget airlines is a way of life in Europe and North America. But in Asia,
where low-cost carriers have only recently begun cutting into the market
shares of established airlines, their impact on commercial aviation will
likely far surpass anything seen in other markets. Budget operators' share
of the Asian aviation market surged from zero to 25 percent over the past
decade, according to the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation, which estimates
that there will be 50 budget airlines in the region by the end of 2012, with
approximately 1,000 aircraft on order. "Ten years ago, network airlines
almost universally declared that low-cost carrier operations simply
wouldn't work in the Asia Pacific region, but today nearly all full-service
airlines in the region have their own low-cost offshoots," says Tom
Ballantyne, Hong Kong-based chief correspondent for commercial aviation
magazine Orient Aviation. Peaches freshens up Japanese market The latest
quirkily named and brightly colored, low-cost carrier to debut in the region
is Japan's Peach Aviation -- a partnership between All Nippon Airways (ANA)
and an investment group in Hong Kong -- which inaugurated service in March
with a flight from Osaka to Nagasaki.read more

From hot dogs to 'haute dogs' -- food trucks turn on the culinary charm
Thu, 04/12/2012 - 13:45 — Anonymous by Rachel Sang-hee HanLater this year a
team of British cooks and chefs is planning to head to New York to compete
with counterparts in the United States. But don't expect any Michelin stars
or fancy restaurant napkins to be wafted around. These guys are street food
vendors, and their willingness to cross an ocean to show off their skills is
the surest sign yet that food trucks, also known as mobile kitchens or
container restaurants, have fled their Southeast Asian nests to take on the
world. "At a time when consumers are cutting back on their restaurant
spending, a van serving up fresh and inexpensive lunches and dinners is an
easy sell to the public," says food journalist Richard Johnson, who also
founded the British Street Food Awards. Where the props grow, Street
Kitchen goes. read more

Malaysia Airlines launches kid-free economy zone
Thu, 04/12/2012 - 03:03 — Anonymous by CNNGo staffIf you want to stir up a
fiery debate -- or maybe even a fist fight -- start talking about air travel
and children. Inevitably, someone will declare that airlines should offer
"kid-free flights." While that's yet to happen, Malaysia Airlines
might have come up with the next best thing. A kid-free economy upper deck
aboard its first A380 service, nonstop between Kuala Lumpur and London, which
takes off July 1. Families traveling with under-12s –- including
babes-in-arms -- will be automatically allocated seats in the main
all-economy lower deck, says a Malaysia Airlines spokesperson. But before we
all jump to brand the decision makers at the flag carrier as a bunch of
child-hating monsters, the airline is quick to point out that the 350 economy
seats on the main deck of its new A380s will be enhanced and designated as a
family and children-friendly inflight zone. Malaysia Airlines says the main
deck of its new A380 will be an enhanced family friendly inflight zone. And
if there's overwhelming demand for seats in economy class from families
with children and infants, resulting in full load in the main deck, "we
will still accommodate such demand in the 70-seat upper deck economy class
zone of our A380."read more

Indonesia's Sumatra island, India's east coast, Sri Lanka, Thailand and
other areas in Southeast Asia facing the Indian Ocean are being urged to be

destructive tsunami that can affect coastlines across the entire Indian Ocean

Flights rerouted as North Korea prepares to launch rocket
Wed, 04/11/2012 - 12:16 — Anonymous by Hiufu WongMore than 20 commercial
airline flights will be rerouted to avoid North Korea's rocket launch
expected sometime between April 12 and April 16. The North Korean launch is
meant to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the country's late
founder, Kim Il-Sung, according to North Korean authorities. The secretive
state announced the launch in March, emphasizing that the rocket's debris
will not affect neighboring countries, and saying that its accompanying
satellite is intended for peaceful purposes, according to North Korea's state
news agency. North Korea claims that the Kwangmyongsong-3 (Shining Star)
satellite, carried by the rocket Unha-3, will be used to collect data on
forests and natural resources. But the United States and other nations fear
the launch may be a pretext for a ballistic missile test, which would
potentially violate U.N. resolutions created after a similar launch in April
2009.read more

Japan's new reality show a picture-perfect trip
Mon, 04/09/2012 - 04:55 — Anonymous by C.B.LiddellWhen visiting Japan,
it's worth remembering -- and stop us if you've heard this one before --
that there's more to the country than kimonos, sushi, tradition and
temples. A lot more. According to those in the know, Japan is one of Asia's
hot spots for contemporary modern art -- manga and anime, anyone? -- and
exhibitions worth at least a half day out of your trip are thick on the
ground. The Hoki Museum, about an hour's drive from Tokyo, is one of a slew
of outstanding new centers that take Japan's reputation for cutting-edge
art to another level. Currently, it's taking a fresh look at Realist art
through one of the year's must-see exhibitions, "Beauty of Existence --
Look, Smile, Sorrow." The astounding-looking building, which opened a few
months before the 2011 earthquake, is the creation of Tomohiko Yamanashi, the
architect behind the stunning art venue.read more

How a trip to Guyana became a short-listed novel
Tue, 04/10/2012 - 05:00 — Anonymous by Samantha LeeseWhat does it mean to
"really travel" in a world where so much is connected and so little seems
new? One answer may be to spend a year in a place that everybody else seems
to have forgotten. And, from there, to write a novel so adventurous and
beautiful that it reminds us how much of the earth there is left to see.
Former cricket writer Rahul Bhattacharya does just that. The result of his
year-long stint in Guyana was "The Sly Company of People Who Care" --
short-listed for this year's Man Asian Literary Prize. The debut novel
follows the picaresque travels of a young Indian journalist who goes to
Guyana to escape the "deadness of his life." Of mixed Bengali and Gujarati
descent, Bhattacharya is no stranger to relocations. The 32-year-old author
compares his childhood to that of an army cantonment kid.read more

gig a little more than two years ago, he spent six months traveling Europe,

Military tourism in Thailand: Shoot guns, ride tanks, eat bugs
Mon, 04/09/2012 - 04:59 — Anonymous by Cole PenningtonIllicit military
experiences have long characterized the Southeast Asia travel experience.
Most expat residents and seasoned backpackers in the region know at least one
person who has destroyed a small patch of jungle with a rocket launcher or
popped off a few rounds from a government issue sub-machine gun by
"renting" these weapons from enterprising military personnel. But since
1997, the Royal Thai Army has been working with the Tourism Authority of
Thailand to develop programs that allow civilians to catch a glimpse of
military life, legally. The operation is simple -- give tourists a roughneck
experience they can't get anywhere else. Let them fire M16 assault rifles,
put them behind the controls of a tank and teach them what insects are OK to
eat when learning jungle survival techniques. Of the 300-plus armed forces
bases throughout Thailand, more than 60 run programs such as simple bike
rides or parachute jumping from a tower, from Phuket all the way up to Chiang
Mai. To locate the nearest base, give the Royal Thai Army's Tourism
Promotion Working Committee a call at +66 (0)2 297 5715-8.read more

Historic Singapore: 5 Chinatown businesses that endure
Tue, 04/10/2012 - 17:51 — Anonymous by Eddie TeeFor some, Singapore's
Chinatown is nothing more than a colorful tourist attraction filled with
shops hawking over-priced knicknacks to clueless travelers. But it's not all
about kitschy souviners. Plenty of locals have been coming to this
neighborhood to shop and eat for decades. Here are five heritage
businesses that have been serving generations of Singaporeans since the early
1900s. Pek Sin Choon The oldest tea merchant in Singapore -- they've
been in business since 1925 -- is also one of the few that regularly
creates new flavors adapted to local taste buds and cuisines. It started with
founder Pek Kim Au, who used to import raw tea leaves from China but found
the combination unsatisfying.read more

Flying dragons: Private jets are new status symbol in China
Wed, 04/11/2012 - 08:42 — Anonymous by Tracy YouUntil as recently as 10
years ago, a personal jet was little more than a dream for even the richest
mainland Chinese. Apart from anything else, the government has only allowed
individuals to own and fly private aircraft since 2003. But now, a shiny,
personal fly-about is the new business card of the elite, touted abroad by
established entrepreneurs such as Zhang Yue (张跃) and such influential
celebrities as Jackie Chan (成龙). In less than a decade, the number of
mainland-registered business jets has rocketed from zero to more than 130.
Industry experts expect the market to grow nearly 10 times over the next
decade; in other words, mainland tycoons will be shelling out for roughly 100
private jets a year -- with prices starting at RMB 3 million (US$475,000) --
from now till 2022.read more

Tracking down F1 stars in Shanghai
Thu, 04/19/2012 - 13:18 — Anonymous by Chen ZhihongThe 2012 Shanghai F1 (a
k a China Grand Prix) runs April 13-15. Racing fans are eagerly anticipating
the chance to see their favorite drivers -- not only on the track but also
around the city. Here are top five off-the-track Shanghai spots to rub
shoulders with F1 drivers. Venue 1: Pudong Airport Who you are likely to
see: Pretty obvious, but it is the easiest way to spot drivers from all
teams and their assistants. Naturally, the airport has become the preferred
gathering ground for most F1 fans in Shanghai. No race car driver can avoid
passing through this gateway. A crowd of fans eagerly awaiting their arrival
is enough to warm the hearts of most drivers, who will usually find it hard
to reject requests for autographs and photos.read more
