| Want a free trip to Norway? Just scream Posted: 31 Jan 2013 06:00 AM PST In honor of Edvard Munch's 150th birthday, Visit Norway is asking travelers to slap on their best look of agony and let it rip for the cameras Article Page If one were to ask a Norwegian to list his/her nation's top three most famous exports, chances are they'll toss out at least one of these greats: 1980s pop band A-Ha; the cheese slicer; or painter Edvard Munch. In honor of the 150th birthday anniversary of the latter of that bunch, tourism body Visit Norway is asking people to create their own version of Munch's most famous work, "The Scream," in video form.

| Gallery: 1,000 'Vikings' descend on Europe's biggest fire festival Posted: 31 Jan 2013 12:09 AM PST The Up Helly Aa celebration proves that where's there's smoke, there could be a horde of dressed up, torch-carrying Scots close behind It's no accident that we included Up Helly Aa, the self-dubbed "Europe's largest fire festival" in our master list of crazy fun things to do in 2013. The festival, which has been officially running since the 1880s in Lerwick on the Scottish Shetland Islands, has its roots in an uproarious celebration for sailors and soldiers returning home after weeks at sea.

| Deep south: Living the slow life in Okinawa Posted: 30 Jan 2013 01:55 PM PST Laying low in Japan's tropical getaway is easier than ever, with a new airport coming soon Article Page When we first spot Gentetsu Maeshiro, he's way down Sunset Beach, a stick figure bent over by the shore. It's mid-afternoon and my wife and I are among a handful of people enjoying this long stretch of sand on the east side of Ishigaki, one of the southernmost islands in the southernmost part of Japan, Okinawa. We pass a couple from Saitama, north of Tokyo, who just rented an inflatable ring to go floating in the East China Sea. "What do you think of this place?" I ask them. "It's so pretty," the young woman replies, looking at the turquoise water.

| Western wonders: A traveler's guide to Scotland’s best whisky region Posted: 29 Jan 2013 10:01 PM PST Rugged places call for great drink -- that's why the best whisky in Scotland are made in the western part of the country Article Page For whisky lovers, Scotland is about the Highlands and the Lowlands, the Isles and Speyside. Some fall in love with the tastes generated by a certain area, the result of the combination of peat, grain, water and other materials used in production. For this global traveler, though, with close on a quarter of a century of sampling some of the very best malts in Scotland, some great Irish whiskey, and in more recent years some decent Japanese offerings, the west of Scotland runs second to none in the variety, tastes and types of drink.

| Here's a good one: Asia is comedy's next frontier Posted: 29 Jan 2013 01:55 PM PST Once public taboo, jokes about sex, bribery and political persecution are helping build a thriving stand-up scene Article Page In a café in Bangalore, a comedian leads off with a joke about Kingfisher Airlines stewardesses, and gets mild titters from the audience. "The men are smiling," he teases. The comic, Sanjay Manaktala, then tells a story about dressing up as a police officer to play out a sexy fantasy with an Indian girlfriend: "I told her 'You've been a naughty girl.' She said, 'Oh my god! Here's a hundred bucks.'" This time, the crowd erupts into a roar, the bribery reference, a common problem within India's police force, hitting its mark.
