An hour out from shore, Juan, our guide, grabbed my arm and gestured at
the water, urging, ‘OK, go, go!’ Seconds later, I’d pulled on my mask
and leapt after him into the water, with no idea which direction I was
meant to swim.
Meanwhile, Juan had ducked under the banca and was heading off in hot pursuit of our quarry.
We were stalking the world’s biggest shark, a prehistoric monster that
can grow up to 16 metres, weigh more than 35 tons and live for over a century.

A few days ago, I drove the wife and a couple of her friends into town. They all sat in the back, observing my vehicular mastery, and the conversation naturally turned to driving skills. The wife admitted she’d had a couple of prangs since she first got behind the wheel last year. “That’s OK,” said one friend, “In the Philippines, if you can drive for one month without crashing, you’re a good driver”.
And you know what? She wasn’t joking.

A very wealthy, fat and contented Kung Hei Fat Choi! to
all of our readers, as we mark the first day of the first lunar month of this
very special Year of the Pig. Tradition says people born on pig years will be
lucky, and this year, their luck will be doubled, because this is
no mere pig year, but a once-in-six-decades Golden Fire Pig.
So predictably, China
is experiencing a baby boom as millions of superstitious couples procreate at
a record rate, with disastrous consequences for the environment. And Netnewsasia is here with the solution.

 Just a week after Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao unveiled China's first Moon photo, a sleuthing spaceblogger has discovered Mr Wen may have been hiding something. "Chinese people's dream of flying to the moon for more than 1,000 years is beginning to materialise" said Wen at the time. And apparently all they needed to realise that dream was a copy of Photoshop.

 Last year, a YouTuber uploaded the world's most entertaining keep-fit video, in which a George Costanza-lookalike with knickers on his head robbed a terrified Japanese woman. Three girls then jumped around a bit, demonstrating the vocabulary you'll need to protect yourself from a geeky gaijin armed with a nail file.
