Qantas to charter Australia's first commercial flight powered by cooking oil
Wed, 03/28/2012 - 23:00 — Anonymous by CNNGo staff It's difficult to
believe that it's only been four years since Time Magazine ran the headline
"Can Airplanes Fly on Biofuel?". Now it seems that all airlines are
jumping on the biofuel train (excuse our mixed metaphors), whether it's for
the marketing factor (hey, we're writing about it), or because it's
perceived as the hottest green initiative right now. Case in point: Qantas is
the latest airline to launch a flight powered by cooking oil. Tickets are
currently on sale for Australia's first commercial biofuel flight, which is
slated for April 13 from Sydney to Adelaide, not from Melbourne to Adelaide
as some news agencies have been reporting. The 300-seater Airbus 330 will
use U.S.-imported biofuel in one of its two engines -- the same cooking oil
that was previously used by Lufthansa in a six-month trial (the world's
first) during which 1,200 biofuel-flights were completed between Hamburg and
Frankfurt. read more

Thailand wine tours: Where to spend a weekend in the vineyards
Thu, 03/29/2012 - 08:23 — Anonymous by Timothy FranceThailand's wine-making
industry has come a long way. No longer causing connoisseurs to recoil in
horror at first sniff, these days locally-produced labels are served
by high-end Thai restaurants and exported abroad. But it wasn't an easy
path. About 20 years ago Thailand took to wine producing with its
characteristic defiance of international norms, rejecting the age-old
traditions that say wine grapes can't be grown further south than Cairo or
Lhasa. Breaking those rules, vineyards across Thailand's three
distinguished winemaking regions now produce quality wine 1,770 kilometers
further south than old school thinking dictates. These are the 'new
latitude wines', and although they don't rate highly alongside famous French
vintages, wine lovers should swallow their skepticism before condemning Thai
wines to the cooking pot. For a closer look at Thailand's growing wine
industry, get out of Bangkok and take a wine tour. Most of the country's
revered vineyards, featured here, offer visitors a chance to get off the
heavily beaten tourist track and see how grapes are grown and wines are
made. read more

What recession? See Australia on the cheap
Thu, 03/29/2012 - 02:55 — Anonymous by Lauren FritskyWith the seemingly
never-ending global recession, the strong Aussie dollar and the increasing
cost of living in Australia, some might say -- beyond the obvious broader
economic hurt -- that there's trouble in store for anyone in the business
of tourism. In fact, the latest statistics show the number of Aussies
choosing to vacation overseas in 2011 was a record 7.8 million -- that's a
full two million more than the total of incoming tourists, causing something
of a problem for a country that relies so much on being an attractive
destination for vacationers of all stripes. While it's true that flights
from abroad can be expensive and the cost of staying and playing in cities
like Sydney exorbitant, it is possible to see Australia on a budget. The
tricks, as we'll show you, include being smart about how you get around and
discovering the alternatives to the pricey tours. Read on and save enough for
more than a few extra shrimps on the barbie.read more

World's first airport IMAX cinema coming to Hong Kong
Wed, 03/28/2012 - 08:50 — Anonymous by Hiufu WongDull layovers at Hong Kong
International (HKIA) will be a thing of the past once the world's first
airport IMAX cinema opens. Due to welcome its first customers before the end
of June, the new IMAX cinema from Hong Kong cinema chain, UA Cinemas, will
replace the 4D Extreme Screen in terminal two. The IMAX cinema will boast a
giant screen -- 13.8 meters high and 22.4 meters wide -- and 358 seats,
making it the largest of Hong Kong's three IMAX theaters. Hong Kong residents
and visitors are able to access the cinema, as it is landside at the airport.
The cinema will show both 2D and 3D movies, mainly Hollywood blockbusters and
edutainment films. Tickets are likely to cost HK$150, the same as other IMAX

The drugs don't work: Asia's massive fake meds industry

older heroin and methamphetamine smuggling networks around the "Golden

at a forum on the subject in Bangkok recently, not far from street vendors
peddling fake sex pills near one of the city's red-light areas. "An

medications," reckons Scott Davis, a former U.S. customs official, now
senior regional director (Asia-Pacific) in Pfizer's Global Security section.

Southeast Asia: The next Mediterranean of cruises?
Tue, 03/27/2012 - 13:29 — Anonymous Land ahoy, cruisers. Singapore's new
International Cruise Terminal is set to open later this year, with officials
hoping the massive US$400 million facility will bring in some of the
world's largest ships. Cruises are fast gaining in popularity in Asia, with
several of the big global lines -- Royal Caribbean, Silversea, Holland
America and Celebrity -- already offering passengers itineraries in the
region. But the Asian cruise industry is a long way behind Europe or North
America, the latter of which accounts for around 60 percent of the global
cruising market according to industry figures. A graphic rendering of the
US$400 million Singapore International Cruise terminal. Aw Kah Peng, CEO of
the Singapore Tourism Board, told media she hopes that will change with the
opening of the city's new cruise terminal, located between downtown Singapore
and Sentosa Island. "We think there's a lot of untapped potential in
cruising," she says. "Southeast Asia as a whole region is really interesting
for cruising because of the many islands that form the archipelago of
Indonesia, as well as Philippines and the long wonderful coastlines of our
neighbours like Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand. We think that Southeast Asia
can be the next Mediterranean when it comes to cruising."read more

Australian carrier Qantas and China Eastern Airlines are putting together a
new passenger airline with the goal of tapping into the booming Chinese

Best places to spot tigers in India
Tue, 03/27/2012 - 05:00 — Anonymous by Pri ShewakramaniWanna see a real
wild tiger? Head to India where nearly half of the world's remaining wild
tiger population still roams. But the 1,400 big cats are spread out over more
than 40 national parks in the country. So to help increase the odds of
spotting a tiger in India, we have narrowed it down to these five places
where it is more likely that you will get a good sighting. Very big cats:
tigers can weigh up to 300 kilos. Bandhavgarh National Park: Greatest chance
of spotting a tiger Bandhavgarh National Park is a wildlife sanctuary in
Madhya Pradesh. It has the highest density of tigers in the region. The core
area of the park is spread over 100 square kilometers and is home to more
than 50 tigers. The park is known as the land of the white tiger, even though
they no longer roam here. The last white tiger that was spotted in the wild
was captured here by Maharaja Martand Singh of Rewa in 1951. read more

101 best sports bars in the United States

plenty of bars out there for sports fans, but very few run by sports fans.

Calling all voyeurs: Google Street View hits Thailand
Mon, 03/26/2012 - 07:40 — Anonymous by Richard S. EhrlichFor the first
time, Google is exposing gorgeous, hedonistic and possibly even embarrassing
photos of people, beaches, entertainment zones, hotels, homes, temples and
other scenes in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket via its Street View maps.
Anyone in the world can go online and, for free, gawk at Google's pictures,
which are "digitally stitched" together to offer a movable journey through
Thailand's three famous tourism hotspots -- including countless shots of
Thais and foreigners unaware they've been photographed. Google hopes its
newest Street View portal will emphasize the paradises and delights of
Thailand, and lure more tourists to enjoy the lusciousness this Southeast
Asian tropical land offers. "We drove Phuket, Chiang Mai and Greater Bangkok
and we got 95 percent of those areas, and have images that are 360-degree
panoramas," says David Marx, global communications and public affairs manager
for Google Asia Pacific. "Tourists within Thailand and outside of Thailand

time, Google is exposing gorgeous, hedonistic and possibly even embarrassing
photos of people, beaches, entertainment zones, hotels, homes, temples and
other scenes in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket via its Street View maps.
Anyone in the world can go online and, for free, gawk at Google's pictures,
which are "digitally stitched" together to offer a movable journey through
Thailand's three famous tourism hotspots -- including countless shots of
Thais and foreigners unaware they've been photographed. Google hopes its
newest Street View portal will emphasize the paradises and delights of
Thailand, and lure more tourists to enjoy the lusciousness this Southeast
Asian tropical land offers. "We drove Phuket, Chiang Mai and Greater Bangkok
and we got 95 percent of those areas, and have images that are 360-degree
panoramas," says David Marx, global communications and public affairs manager
for Google Asia Pacific. "Tourists within Thailand and outside of Thailand
can use this as kind of a tool to plan their trips and to virtually explore
Thailand." read more
'Weird Japan' blinds tourists to the real Nippon
Mon, 03/26/2012 - 09:00 — Anonymous by Andrew PothecaryArt-gallery-worthy
kaiseki banquets, startlingly obese celebrity sumo wrestlers, hour-long
tea-making rituals, boiling baths without soap and many more seemingly unique
aspects of Japan have long been a draw for visitors, but is there a chance
the "weird Japan" obsession hides a far more interesting reality? If you've
ever been to Japan, you'll have heard all about how strange, bizarre and
even downright alien to Westerners it all is over here. Usually from locals,
of course, who typically add the somewhat ambitious qualifier of "unique"
for good measure. As a long-time resident who's heard the spiel more than a
few times, I suspect, however, that this obsessive navel-gazing is more about
wishful thinking and less about anything particularly odd about an entire
country. More precisely, I believe it's a relatively small Japanese
cultural twist and focus on formality -- or fetishism, if you prefer -- that
creates an impression of huge cultural differences and that's what I'd
like to explore. And before you page down to the comments section, ready to
bash the keyboard a new one, let me assure you, this is not another article
about how "alien" Japan is -- in fact, it's quite the opposite.read

Insider Guide: Best of Delhi
Sun, 03/25/2012 - 23:30 — Anonymous by Isha Singh SawhneyThe best of Delhi
is where the new Indian cool is being born. Once dismissed as a town of
bureaucrats as inspiring as a damp sock, India's capital city is slowly but
surely shedding its frumpy image. Delhi has the basic hallmarks of a buzzing
world city: posh new hotels, glam restaurants and a huge and growing
population (16.7 million, by one estimate). To entertain the new throngs,
amped-up venues are cropping up in Delhi like green grass after a monsoon.
And if Mumbai has Bollywood, Delhi has high culture. Performing arts, book
launches and tons of art galleries make the best of Delhi an Indian culture
homebase.read more
