Sophie's Revenge (非常完美)

Wednesday, Nov 11, 2009 10:55AM / Members only

Being a fan of Zhang Ziyi (I still don't know why many Asians don't like her), I am looking forward to seeing, "Sophie's Revenge" (非常完美). Hope it comes out on DVD soon!

(I'm glad she is trying different roles although "The Raccoon Princess" (オペレッタ狸御殿, Operetta tanuki goten) had to be the strangest movie of her's that I've seen).

Fan Bingbing is also in the movie, I recently saw her movie, Lost in Beijing (苹果).

Some news about Hong Kong

Monday, Nov 9, 2009 12:56AM / Members only

I had a nice time in Hong Kong last Christmas, so I've been trying to keep up with some of the news there:

Reba Mcentire'S Southern Drawl Caused Her Trouble In Hong Kong - actually, there are times when even people here in the USA don't understand one another because of their accents, so I don't think this is unique to people in Hong Kong not understanding American English.

Indonesian maids outnumber Filipinos in Hong Kong for first time - this surprised me; I know that Filipinos do okay in Hong Kong mostly because they do speak English, but I guess if Indonesians can speak Cantonese, they probably can out compete the Filipinos there.

Vancouver woman behind Hong Kong's first winery - I didn't know about this at all. I would have thought that someone would have established a winery there long ago.

One Hong Kong thing that I'm kind of interested in is the Goods of Desire (G.O.D.) Asian themed Microsoft mouse. Kind of expensive though (about $560HKD).

Acid still being thrown in Hong Kong

Monday, Nov 2, 2009 1:05AM / Members only

My parents had been thinking about going on a short vacation to Hong Kong, but they couldn't make it. Now I'm glad that they can't go - there's so many incidents of people throwing acid over there, it's ridiculous. Even if you're not the target, if you happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, you'll be a victim. It happened again last week and this time not in Mongkok:

Acid Attack Leaves Hong Kong Prosecutor With Burns, Damaged Eye

That really bothers me - I've always enjoyed visiting Hong Kong. I'm worried about my friends there.

The Shanghai World Financial Centre (上海国际金融中心)

Thursday, Oct 29, 2009 9:21AM / Members only

While in Shanghai, I went up on The Shanghai World Financial Centre building to take in the view from the observatory. Excellent!! I recommend it if you are in Shanghai. The roof is actually taller than the roof of the Taipei 101, but the Taipei 101 is taller due to it's spire. The glass floor is interesting.

Currently under construction is the Shanghai Tower - which will be even taller than The Shanghai World Financial Centre. When finished it will be the second tallest building in the world (at least for a little while).

While in Yunnan last year, quiet often I would hear this song and instrument, especially in Lijiang and Dali. Brings back good memories.

I dont see Misaki's poster in streets too.
definitely the company has chosen to rely on personal networking or internet to attract clients under recession rather than spending on advertising:-p
