Hong Kong dog flies business class, sparking online row over pampering
In the video, the miniature long-haired dachshund named Fifi is seen snuggled under blankets. British owner Helen Rosalie, who adopted the miniature long-haired dachshund in Hong Kong when the dog was one year old, she’s now four, said Fifi was "calm and collected" throughout the 11-hour flight, according to the South China Morning Post . While Fifi looked comfortable, many online observers were not. "It seems a bit sad that you’d prefer to spend tens of thousands on a dog and call it your daughter, when there are thousands of children in care homes that could become a real daughter," one person wrote. Another netizen said the video was "hard for me to see", because the money spent on Fifi’s travel could have fed starving children and saved lives. Many other followers were pleased to see airlines accommodating pets, while others commended Fifi for her exemplary behavior onboard: "My kids don’t behave this well," wrote one. However, the owner is quick to remind followers … [Read more...] about Hong Kong dog flies business class, sparking online row over pampering
Vietnamese player injured after celebrating like Cristiano Ronaldo
The final of the national U17 championship on Tuesday between Viettel and Hong Linh Ha Tinh attracted great deal of attention on social media with the highlight of Kien's incident. When Kien scored for Viettel in the 61st minute, he did the iconic celebration of Cristiano Ronaldo, performing a mid-air pirouette before shouting "siu" (which is Spanish for yes) upon landing. However, the landing was not good and Kien lay down in pain. After trying to get up and continue playing, Kien eventually had to leave the field on a stretcher due to the injury. Before Kien, Nguyen Cong Phuong did the "siu" celebration after scoring in the 5th minute but did not have a problem.

‘Don’t blame women’: Japan birth drive sparks online debate
Japan's government has made tackling its falling birth rate a top priority, but with few women involved in official debate on the issue, some are making themselves heard on social media. Japan recorded fewer than 800,000 births last year, the lowest in the country of 125 million since records began. The prime minister has warned the trend threatens "whether we can continue to function as a society", and fresh focus on the issue has sparked countless articles. But one in particular, noting Japan has the highest ratio in the OECD of women aged 50 who have never had children, triggered an outpouring of responses using the hashtag "life-long childlessness". Tomoko Okada had long felt "ashamed" about not having children and hesitated to click on the trending topic on Twitter initially, fearing the usual barrage of criticism. Instead, she found mostly sympathetic and nuanced discussions, with women explaining why they had been unable to start a family or, in some cases, why they … [Read more...] about ‘Don’t blame women’: Japan birth drive sparks online debate

Mount Agung, located in Karangasem Regency in the northeast corner of Bali, is considered a dwelling place of the gods. The Russian posted the photos that went viral on social media.
