Asia's best rollercoasters   If you’re an adrenaline junkie, chances are you’ve visited USS’ Human Battlestar Galactica so many times that it doesn’t quite give you that kick anymore.

The hipster-est transport ever   Until recently, riding a hot air balloon wasn’t on my bucket list, mostly because it was never “one of those things” people did on holidays.
