Chinese student, sparks outrage by offering sex to different man in each city
A 19-year-old backpacker from China has sparked outrage by offering to have sex with a different man in every city she visits to fund her travels.
Student Ju Peng, from the eastern city of Shanghai, had posted an online ad looking for 'temporary boyfriends' who must be 'good looking, under 30, taller than 1.75 metres and, of course, rich'.
Ju says: 'They will fund my transport to their city and all my expenses while I am there and they need to be generous.'
She adds: 'In return, they get a whole night with me, my undivided attention, and a chance to show themselves off in the company of a truly beautiful girl.'

Photographer Miles Morgan captures close up pictures of erupting Kilauea volcano in Hawaii
Most of us would turn and run when faced with an erupting volcano. But one intrepid photographer has trekked right up to a molten lava spewing crater in search of the perfect shot.
Miles Morgan was just one metre away from the source of the eruptions when he took some of these incredible images of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii.
Miles Morgan was just one metre away from the source of the eruptions when he took some of these incredible images of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii.
The 42-year-old - who burned his feet while taking the shots, said: 'On this outing we were able to access the beach, which made for some dramatic photography, but came with a surprise.
The Kilauea Volcano is one of the most active volcanos in the world and has been erupting constantly for the last 20 years.
But Mr Morgan was determined to get as close as possible for his shots. He added: "At times, it was possible to get right up to the flow itself if the wind was blowing the plume away from us.

Epecuen: The Town That Spent 25 Years Underwater
Once a lake country spa town south of Buenos Aires, Epecuen is a lagoon with a salinity level only topped by the Dead Sea. For decades, tourists visited to take its waters believing they were good for one's health.
Everything came crashing down in 1985 when a long period of heavy rains sent the lagoon bursting over its banks, and it swept over a busy small town.
A town of about 40 square blocks, Epecuen was submerged beneath 10 meters (30 feet) of water.
Even when the waters eventually receded, the country town, 550 kilometers (340 miles) south of the capital, was never rebuilt. Its welcoming little hotels seem frozen in time, rot and rust, glistening with the salt in which they were steeped.
Visitors pick up on Epecuen's spooky vibe eyeing abandoned beds from a former old folks home; dozens of stranded, toppled night tables from local hotels; and upended materials visitors and businessmen tried to pry out of the rubble to reuse as construction materials.
The town's surreal silvery cast has inspired filmmakers including Roland Joffe who in 2009 filmed the Spanish civil war-drama "There Be Dragons" here; and Argentina's Pino Solana who filmed scenes of his "El viaje" ("The Journey") locally.

The Red Sea in Australia
SYDNEY'S iconic Bondi Beach has been forced to close after red algae turned the waters the colour of BLOOD.
Authorities have warned swimmers at the Australian tourist attraction following the freak natural event.
Contact with the ammonia-filled algae could cause skin and eye irritation and tests are being conducted to establish if there are any other dangers.
Local lifeguard Bruce Hopkins said: "It has got quite a fishy smell to it.
"It can irritate some people's skin but generally not much more than that."
Irene Eristian, 33, said: "I wasn't sure if I should let my daughter into the water as I wasn't sure what it was."
But not everyone has obeyed the notice, with several swimmers taking a dip at Bondi Beach, and also-affected Clovelly Beach.
A spokesman for the New South Wales Office of Water said that the algae - known as sea sparkle - may have been caused by an upswell of nutrient-rich water.
And the local council warned: "There are some possible risks to human health including skin rashes and eye irritation and for this reason the beach will remain closed until the algae dissipates."
