This airport tried to be cutesy and put up a sign limiting "hug time" instead of a more generic time limit. Have you ever heard of a "full English breakfast"? We'll tell you all about it. There's a café in Tokyo which discourages socializing. Find out why! People in China have pets. Isn't that cute! Here's a great tourist attraction in Turkey! Not into that? How about a video game museum in Kyoto instead? Or a theme park in Orlando? But why stop there? Here are some other links to random news tidbits.

It's like one of those daytime TV talk shows in text form.

People in China have pets.

So many strange cultural traditions over there!
