  • 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.

  • Kōshōnin (交渉人) - The Negotiator

    Wednesday, Oct 28, 2009 9:56AM / Members only

    "Here's the very TV drama-y first teaser for Hidekazu Matsudas Koshonin - The Negotiator: The Movie, a theatrically-released continuation of TV Asahis highly-rated Koshonin - The Negotiator series which will be entering its second season on October 22nd.

    As Tokyograph reported back in July, the film will take place at 10,000 meters above the ground, as some unfortunate hijackers decide to take over a plane on which police negotiator and all-around badass Reiko Usagi (Ryoko Yonekura) happens to be a passenger.

    Koshonin will be released by Toei in February 2010."

    I enjoyed watching the first TV series (okay, I admit, I am a fan of Ryoko Yonekura).  Hopefully the second one will be even better and the movie will top that too.  Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for either the Hong Kong or Malaysian DVD release, because I don't understand that much Japanese (language) and Japanese DVDs rarely come with English subtitles.  (of course the reverse can be said of American DVDs - they rarely come with Chinese or Japanese or Korean subtitles too).

  • Red Cliff - in the USA

    Wednesday, Oct 28, 2009 9:51AM / Members only

    Red Cliff is finally going to be shown in the US, but they are combining both movies into one. I've read a lot will be cut out - roughly 50% (supposedly because Americans aren't interested in Chinese history). I enjoyed both movies.  I'm worried that the critics here in the US will get lost since they are only seeing half of the movie!
