"No good" means totally sucky.
"Not good" means simply "not good" but not necessarily "really bad."

Example:

He is no good = He is trouble, a bad guy, someone who causes problems.

In Romance 17 February 2011 | By Leif Pettersen, Lonely Planet


Travelling as a couple can present unique challenges (and advantages) on top of the exhilaration and standard stress that accompanies long-term travel. Will it make or break the relationship? What happens when one person wants to go to the Full Moon Party and the other wants to do the jungle trek?


Like solo travellers, couples have various travel planning doubts and logistics to negotiate. But there are also a few, singular pre-trip myths that couples must confront. For example, Adam and Megan Seper, who spent a year on the road, visiting 11 countries and writing their World Travel for Couples blog (www.worldtravelforcouples.com), thought "that we'd kill each other".


"Most of our friends and family had that concern," said Adam. "They really thought spending 24 hours a day together for a year would do us in, but we were totally fine."


Former corporate consultants Ryan and Jen Fuller (www.consultingrehab.com), rather than hopping continents, spent six enviable months travelling and living in Argentina and Chile. The biggest myth they busted, they said, was that it is hard to quit your job and travel. "So many people focus only on the challenges and risks associated with it. Turns out, it is actually quite easy. You just quit and go." And the primary source of stress? "The biggest stresses we had were things like 'which cafe should we go to today?' and 'malbec or syrah?'"

Boy pounding millet flour to make mochi

Taipei secondary school student Lai Wei-li swayed awkwardly while trying to make music with a Saisiyat tribal instrument of dangling bamboo tubes strapped to her back.

"It's really cool and interesting. It's harder than it looks. I have to control my footsteps, sway my body back and forth, and co-ordinate with others," said Lai, while playing the "tapangsan".

Half Han-Chinese and half indigenous, it is not often that Lai gets to experience indigenous culture.

She can't speak the language of her tribe - the Paiwan. Her mother never learned it, and her maternal grandparents who can, live in a rural area and she only sees them twice a year.

This is the state of indigenous languages in Taiwan.

Spain Earthquake rocks Lorca

At least 10 people were killed after a magnitude-5.2 earthquake toppled several buildings in southern Spain near the town of Lorca, officials say.

The quake struck at a depth of just 1km (0.6 miles), some 120km south-west of Alicante, at 1847 (1647 GMT), the US Geological Survey reported.

Lines of cars lay crushed under tonnes of rubble and a hospital was evacuated as a precaution.

The quake followed a 4.4-magnitude tremor about two hours earlier.
