Zew Zealand icebergs
Some massive 'bergs are floating up closer to Zew Zealand than they have for 78 years.
Must see: Over 100 massive icebergs have floated to within 200 miles of New Zealand's South Coast in only the second time in 78 years the icebergs have been sighted this far north. How far will they make it before melting?

Must know: There is mystery in the the Skies over Hong Kong. Cathay flights to the city have recently been experiencing serious toilet issues, with one flight from all 10 toilets getting stopped up on one recent flight from Riyadh.

Must know: BY September 2010, electric cars will hit Singapore's shores in a big way. Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi will bring in electric cars for a three-year infrastructure study that will cost the government $20 million.

Must do: Today is Thanksgiving, so no better way to celebrate this exotic foreign custom than to hit one of the Tokyo restaurants on Bento.com's list. Just don't board a Cathay flight to Hong Kong after a big Thanksgiving meal.

Must buy: Although Hong Kong actor Edison Chen is still hiding out in the U.S., that’s not stopping him from opening his fifth franchise store in Shanghai. The thee-floor boutique is set to open on Dec. 5.
